Luma, short for 'let us meet again,' is a cafe and bakery opening at 128 Columbus St. on the Charleston peninsula in early November. Owen Bernstein of Cramer's Kitchen and Nook is culinary director and executive chef, with Charleston native Travis Shy leading the baking program.

Why this matters here

Luma spent months building an audience through pop-ups at other local spots before signing a lease, which is a playbook any Lowcountry food business can borrow. It also brings about 65 seats and an evening private event space to a stretch of the peninsula that neighboring businesses will feel.
