“Absolutely love this new cafe!!. It is in such a great location on the way to Kiawah Island. To Go options, smoothies, brunch options, coffee, alcohol, picnic options, indoor sit down dining, and outdoor air down dining options. Atmosphere is super fresh, clean, everyone is so friendly and kind. We were a bit nervous stopping at a new place but absolutely fell in love. We also have two little boys and we did not feel uncomfortable or a nuisance. We often times run into that feeling when eating but that was not the case. They also had a refrigerator full of all local business products from local alcohol to local bagels to local ice cream. We will be definitely stopping by next time we go to Kiawah and also we will be bringing all of our local friends. Such a nice warm welcome change when it comes to places to eat in the Kiawah area.“

The servers were quick, amiable, and amusing. They kept telling us that our table smelled good as they walked by. ☺️. The only problem is that this restaurant is about 4 hours from our home. Sigh.“

I highly recommend The Club for lunch; it’s filling and packed with great flavor. Be sure to ask about their seasonal specials, as they often have fun, limited-time options worth trying. A must-visit for breakfast or lunch!“
