50 Best Cafes near Johns Island

“My partner stopped in and got me a beverage to help me feel better. He said the staff explained every beverage and were so helpful getting the best drink for the given situation. The beverage is not only delicious but healthy and hydrating. When you have an immunity crisis and need a boost I highly suggest stopping in and grabbing a tropical detox tea with an immunity supplement shot. It is so refreshing! I'm feeling better all ready! Thank you Johns Island Nutrition!“

“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.“

“I can’t say enough good things about this place. Everytime I come I feel so welcomed! They truly have the most inviting staff that treats you like family. The best latte I’ve ever had is from here (oat latte with white chocolate & fresh strawberry syrup). I come here weekly because it’s an amazing experience everytime. See yall next soon 🥰🥰“

“KISS Cafe is truly a hidden gem that has captured our hearts. From the moment you walk in, you’re treated like family—by the warm, welcoming staff, Chef Tim, and the incredible Ms. Leslie. The food is consistently phenomenal, the atmosphere is cozy and inviting, and the love they show to our children (and everyone else’s) is something you just don’t find everywhere. Their dinner club nights are a highlight for us—perfect for a spontaneous date night with an amazing menu and vibe. We’re proud to be regulars and even prouder to support such a special local spot that brings so much heart to everything they do. KISS Cafe is more than a cafe—it’s a community.“

“I normally do not like shrimp and grits but theirs was delicious! Also the pasta salad, squash, butter beans, and tomato pie were yummy as well. I hate sugared cornbread so that was a no for me. The crab cake wasn't bad but I personally don't think it's worth that price. Great service, location, and food overall!“

“We wanted to try your coffee due to recommendations from YouTuber Ryan Trahan and his wife Haley!! Your coffee is amazing! We purchased the cold brew and spiced dirty chia. We are from Austin, Texas and happen to be here on vacay!!“

“Very unassuming from the outside, we actually almost skipped it just based off looks. So glad we decided to stay. Everything we ordered was amazing. I had the breakfast burrito with turkey sausage and my husband had a French toast sandwich. The side of fruit was actual good fruit and not mediocre honeydew like many places. Perfect stop for brunch after visiting the angel tree and tea garden.“

“Love this place, good smoothie, coffee, sandwiches.

Vegetarian options: Vegetables salad, croissant with jelly, fruits

Kid-friendliness: Kids love this place. Order different types of sandwiches, smoothies, then go out for enjoy on the grass.“

“Came for lunch today and the food, service and portions were great! Highly recommend the Buttermilk Catfish Sandwich with the sauce that comes with truffle fries instead of mayo!“

“Their lunch menu is one sandwich (with meat) and four cold salads (2 of which are vegan). You can get a combo of two which is what I did. The quinoa was amazing, the black bean salad was just ok in my opinion. The ciabatta (which staff confirmed was vegan) was to DIE for. Great value and AC right off king st“

“The Grasshopper Toast was an amazing blend of flavors!“

“I visit Folly once a year so I'm sure this really does not really make a difference. My server ...young lady came to our table asking quickly what we would like. Ordered coffee...I asked from across our table of 4 may I have cream with a straight face no smile picked up the creamer and slapped it front of me. Here it is As if to say are you blind . Very rude. This year I didn't buy a tee shirt and If next year I stop for a meal but probably not.“

“Went today to check out this new spot and it knocked our socks off. We got the Stoopid Good Sammie and it was THE BEST sandwich we have ever had. I don’t know how it could possibly be better.
The to-go fridge was fully stocked with beautifully vibrant meals, snacks, and healthy beverages. Everything looked delicious. A huge plus, they have plenty of parking! Needless to say i will be back regularly.“

“Got the peach tea with strawberry popping boba. Sooooooo good!!!! one of the best i've had. Friendly & fast service. Will definitely be back!“

“Amazing coconut cake, thank you!“

“Not sure why this location has a lower rating than the other. I had a great time at both locations and I’m glad I went out of my way to pop into this one. If I was local I’d be a regular for sure! I sat at the bar top and enjoyed my coffee and people watching. The team work and way the staff interacted with each other made it known that it was a well run establishment. Great job, Babas!“

“Only tried the coffee and pastries for our first visit, coffee was 10/10 as was the cream puff, hands down the best I’ve ever had (it was overflowing with delicious filling)! With having a small child I really appreciated that they find & bring your order to you! Can’t wait to go back to try the other menu items!
Oh I also have to give a shoutout for the terrific napkins, they’re not the wimpy ones where you need 10 to wipe one finger!“

“Love the place you just have to go check it out. Definitely get some food while you’re there. It’ll keep you going back.“

“Excellent customer service! Had an issue with my online order and they called right away to offer a refund or replacement. Oh and the food and coffee is great, too! Had the nut butter oatmeal, was not overly sweet which I prefer, and very filling! Would definitely recommend!“

“EVERYTHING = TODO! From the food and drinks, to the atmosphere, and the people :)“

“Highly recommend! If you’re on Kiawah and looking for an amazing breakfast, come here. It’s just outside the gates of Seabrook. Delicious breakfast! Authentic. Enjoy!“

“I discovered this place this week while here for a visit, and I have eaten here two mornings in a row. It has such a cozy vibe, and the food and service are both great. I wish I had known about this place when I lived here until last year. I Would have definitely been a regular.“

“Food is fairly priced, healthy options and looks great.“

“Always fantastic. The owner and staff are always so nice and friendly. :)“

“Outstanding! When I booked this experience we were looking for a fabulous backdrop as we explored the city. What a hidden gem! The location, service and facilities made our experience memorable! The staff was very attentive to our party and we had to wait for nothing. The menu is top notch and offers different items than nearby establishments. Do yourself a huge favor and taste the grit bowls for starters. The crispness puts the fresh in their fresh fruit. We shall definitely return!“

“Lovely atmosphere, convenient location, friendly staff.“

“I teared up eating this. Enough said, for a girlie from vietnam who came to america for college and is always hunting for that taste of home, this took me back to high school eating banh mi in front of the school gates and waiting for classes to end if you know you know. Anyway 10/10 cannot recommend enough thank you so much for making my day!!! It was really raining when I had this amazing Banh Mi and I was sitting in front of a church to get out of the rain when I looked up and there your store was. Felt like god sent. Anyway I’m yapping but pls pls try them out they’re so good! Will be coming back next week haha“

“Such a fun and cozy place to be with the best coffee and pastries! Will definitely be back! I highly recommend😁“

“The Spicoli and the Redneck....Blackened Fish Tacos. 10/10.“

“What an amazing experience I had today. I picked up up my coffee order, and had the pleasure to meet Tony and his wife. He gave me a personal tour of the facility and introduced me to a wide variety of coffee.
All of the beans they get are organic and Fair Trade.
They roast as needed, so call ahead for availability.
They also have a Chinese black tea, and was told it great for iced tea.
Thanks you guys, and I look forward to my next visit.“

“$45 to park legally for 4 hours is money I would've spent at the market. Somebody's making a killing on the parking. Love Charleston but will not be returning as much anymore.“

“I had a breakfast burrito. It was more than what I can eat, but it was so tasty.“

“I asked my fiancé to find a nice coffee shop that also sells beer in Charleston. After her google search, she asked our friends at The Lucky Luchador and they also recommended your establishment. I was definitely impressed with the atmosphere and selection of beer that was available. I will be coming back soon and will be your ugliest ambassador!!! 😊“

“Highly recommend the espresso martinis!!! Sonny’s customer service is phenomenal and our drinks were too! Highly recommend! 🙌🏼“

“Best vegan desserts I’ve had“

“I am giving a combined 4 stars because while this place was good, it is definitely overpriced. I paid $25 for 2 coffees and that just seems outrageous to me. I love coffee and I've tried a lot of different places, none as costly as this. The coffee was also just fine, it wasn't anything special.

The area is very nice though! There's a nature center nearby that had a baby gator, opossum, and much more. While I recommend, just don't plan on finding anything reasonably priced.“

“Awesome location and vibe-- coffee and espresso is excellent!Btw, they have espresso martinis on tap!!! Great coffee place inside the Wyndham Hotel!“

“Fresh, creative food options. Solid service and comfortable vibe. Worth the side trip off the beaten path.“

“Awesome food! Awesome atmosphere! Awesome service!“

“So awesome. Used the pickup and deliver service with wash and fold. They put a rush on it for me. Customer service was amazing. Uber drivers were both great. Could not recommend more if you are staying in the area and need a laundry service!“

“Amazing! Everything was delicious! The owners and staff were very professional and attentive! It was a great first experience! We will return soon!“

“Everything we've tried has been amazing. I can't wait to go again and we're from the West Coast!“
