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!“

“Wonderful fresh food and great service“

“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.“

“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!“

“Southern Brews is at a VERY convenient location, they have a very large variety for a little coffee shop, their coffee is GREAT, and their customer loyalty reward system is top notch.“

“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!“

“Service and atmosphere is amazing, the pastries and coffee are always solid, the food can be hit or miss as its a bit on the sweet side sometimes could use spice or salt , and the quiche texturally has been a bit strange from time to time with the occasional charred cheese on top but never terrible.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Amazing coconut cake, thank you!“

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

“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!“

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

“Great coffee! My wife and I saw their beans at another local coffee shop so we decided to give their coffee shop a try and we are glad we did! We enjoyed sitting here drinking our coffee and relaxing. We got some beans to take home for ourselves as well.“

“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!“

“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!“

“We were walking around Charleston and saw that this place had boba! When we saw it at first it was closed on a hot day, so we wanted to come back here when it was open.

The inside was very spacious and the menu had so many options to choose from, both for food and boba. Service was friendly.

I got the Oolong Milk Tea with boba, less sugar, and less ice. I normally say less sugar and less ice everywhere I go when I order boba, but I should've read the legend. Less sugar doesn't mean less than half sugar here, but rather more than half sugar. At first the guy at the cashier said it was too late to change it, even though they hadn't given me my drink yet. But the drink was fixed and it tasted good, not too sweet which I prefer.

I got the Chicken Bun Thit Nuong, and it was delicious. The veggies tasted fresh and had a great crunch. The peanut sauce was also amazing, it complemented the dish so well. I loved the chicken: it was flavorful, sweet and savory, and had a great overall texture. It was a very memorable meal.“

“We had the best time visiting PCC last Sunday making lots of kitty friends! 🐈🐈‍⬛ I wanted to take them all with me back to Richmond! One in particular, Lucas was so sweet and loving! I'm going to miss him.!💜“

“My husband, Skip, and I popped a bottle of Dom Pérignon, for NYE, and I had two glasses... I do not usually go so wild. But, after my crazy night, I needed a little pick-me-up. I decided to try this new "Point Break." I went to the drive-through, and the most LOVELY and STUNNING young girl took my order. She said her name was "Mary Catherine." She was very sweet. She answered all my questions about the menu with ease. Clearly well-studied. I got a "Mochiatto", suggested by Miss Mary Catherine. It was delicious and was perfect to cure these New Year's Morning willies! LOL!! I will definitely be back to this establishment.“

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

“Lovely atmosphere, convenient location, friendly staff.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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!!! 😊“

“Is it wrong if I say because of Gitas and candied nuts? Jk I’m from Philly but Charleston has been my home away from home for 27 years. Its historic and artistic and your supporting local companies and artists“

“A real gem! We stopped in for a drink and to perhaps try a "plate"
We were there for 4hrs.
The atmosphere is fresh, yet cozy. It's a tiny place, so everyone is right there, attentive to our needs. The music is relaxing yet upbeat, transporting you out to the world and yet not too loud for conversation! The menu looks simple but when you eat from it, you realize how thoughtfully put together each dish is! Pistachio-Parmesan Salad, Shrimp Toast were our picks and were both outstanding.“

“Ohhhh mannnnn, u ain’t had an experience n such a cool bartender til u had a “Drop In” experience!! 5 stars!!“

“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.“

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

“YUM! Went on Saturday and had the burger! It was cooked fresh and perfectly! Paired nicely with the mac and cheese. They sell cheese and meats to go also! We wanted to buy some, but since we weren't headed right home away. We will for sure be back to get some meat and cheese to take home!“

“Fabulous sandwiches! ladies may easily half one. How to chose a dessert? Had banana pudding. okay but too much pudding.“

“Best vegan desserts I’ve had“

“I hate having to give Alcove 4 stars, because the atmosphere is phenomenal! Unfortunately the “El Padre” breakfast burrito was SOAKED in grease and made me feel extremely sick after. The coffee was so yummy and the service was outstanding…but this menu item definitely needs some attention to prevent further illness in customers.“

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

“First time to Folly Beach. Found Center Street Coffee right away. Best blueberry scone ever and my mocha latte was phenomenal! Highly recommend.“

“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.“

“5.0 the best to go breakfast I've ever had. Locally sourced and organic. Amazing staff too.“

“Laundry mat is good some machines are out of order tho but wasn't crowded and you can drop off your laundry and they will do it for a couple bucks they also have a atm inside and a machine to get detergent change and my favorite part is the food inside the restaurant is real good“

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

“Awesome food! Awesome atmosphere! Awesome 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!“
