Posh over-priced souvenir, coffee and “to go” shop that includes beer, wine, salads and sandwiches. Nothing to write home about. They do sell the WSJ which is a plus as no other store at Fresh Fields does.

I was told that the Nest was going to have everything the East Beach Town Market had. It’s hard to describe what a disappointment the menu is for us. The pizza has been replaced with a store deli cook your own pizza that isn’t very good and can be bought at Harris Teeter for a lot less. The wraps are gone. There is no sweet tea that doesn’t come in bottles We have been to Kiawah twice now since the Market was torn down and the Nest isn’t very crowded even though the dining area is smaller. This was at a time when every eating place is Freshfields was crowded. Even the 15% discount offered with your resort key cannot make up for the small menu with really high prices.We have been coming to Kiawah for over 25 years now. We got food from the Town Market every trip. Hoping they will bring back some of the favorites from the Town Market.

Great little place to pick up some breakfast or lunch/dinner items. Also has the basics for visitors staying around the immediate area. Clean, simple decor. Lots of tables outside, some inside.Kind of a cross between an upscale convenience store and small eating spot. We ate their Saturday night crab cake dinner. Quite good!

No brewed iced tea. Overpriced. Staff are careless and impersonal. East Beach Village was better food and atmosphere, with more genuine staff.

Nice place to eat breakfast or lunch, especially if you have children in tow. They have nightly special for either two or four people which changes daily. On Wednesday they had general tso's chicken with steamed broccoli and rice. I think it was 64 dollars for four people which is a great price considering the prices for meals on Kiawah Island. I. Friday I think it was shrimp and grits and on Tuesday it was chefs choice tacos. It reminded me of a Panera Bread for reference.This is a casual eatery. You order at the counter, receive a buzzer, and then pick up your food from the counter. They also have some groceries and beer and wine for purchase, as well as a few aisles with souvenirs, like golf shirts, T-shirts, hats, and fleeces.We also had breakfast sandwiches, which were very good and priced about 13 to 15 each.

Super convenient. You can grab *most* things if you forgot them. Prices are high in my opinion. But this is our first visit to Kiawah so maybe they are reasonable for the area? I large macchiato is $8 and breakfast sandwiches at $12.

This is a restaurant/gift shop/market. I bought a tee-shirt and some food. The chicken tenders were probably the best I've ever had. The bathroom was unbelievably fancy and clean. The staff were super nice.

Food was good, and the hot chocolate is too hot and not all that flavorful. They also sell an assortment of other items, though everything's quite pricey. The interior is new and clean, but is rather bare. The jasmine porch or fresh fields offer better options for food or convenience items.

Price gouging your residents is not the best business model. Then, making them have to wait, sometimes up to 10 minutes in line to pay. Because they have one slow checkout register. Convenient yes its right there. But on our next visit, we will come prepared.

Make sure you take your bank roll when you visit the island. Everything on Kiawah is very expensive, and this little "convenience store" is no exception. And, their selection of food is quite limited.

Chill venue is spot on! Cool new spot on island to grab a gourmet coffee, lite fare, some groceries, and to people watch. We loved sitting on the wrap around porch in the morning watching the area wake up. We visit daily for something.

The Nest requires some obvious improvements: a real espresso machine, cold brew, improved menu items (real hashbrowns not a frozen fried patty, a couple more breakfast options like avo toast), and a better organized merchandise area. It’s solid but not meeting it’s potential especially for Kiawah and at the price point. However, it’s still a big improvement on east beach, the outdoor dining area is awesome, and the veggie omelette was delicious and high quality.
