Grabbed coffee while visiting Kiawah and walking around the little shopping area. We both ordered lattes and loved them. The food and grab and go options looked amazing as well - I was sad we had just eaten. The pastry section looked INCREDIBLE. There is ample seating both inside and out. They had a cute wine selection and small boutique items as well. Our coffees came out quickly and staff was very friendly!

Three Frozen Strawberry Lemonades

The cafe was absolutely adorable! It was my first time coming and we did come about an hour before close, but they still had lots of good treats! The workers were so kind too! I got the frozen strawberry lemonade which was absolutely amazing! It was super refreshing and the texture was smooth. My friend got the brownie and my other friend got the blueberry lavender bar and both of them loved it! The only reason I didn't put this as five stars is because of the prices. The drink I got was $8 and was fairly small for that price, and the next size up was $12. The treats were about $5-$9 and not particularly large, but they seemed worth it! That was my only issue really. There was outdoor seating that was really cute too!!!!

Now THIS is what I call a cafe! The coffee is incredible and the treats are fantastic as well. I wish I hadn't already eaten breakfast as the quiches look amazing. Do yourself a favor and order a sea salt dark chocolate cookie and a brown butter marshmallow bar. BLOODY DELICIOUS-- Cheers!

Update: came back after a couple of days. Yeah, it is still good In fact, I was still thinking about this place after coming the first time. We quickly packed and ran out of our place just to get a coffee before heading to the airport. Loved it even more this time !

We ordered a vanilla Iced latte and one of the sandwiches. We got a cold sandwich with ham slapped on it, too much cheese and they forgot the Dijon. Honestly, my first grader could've made a better sandwich. The coffee was fine, not special. We probably won't come back.

I'd have to say that Cafe Eugenia is definitely a place worth stopping, enjoying, and savoring. We went for a late brunch and boy, oh boy, this quaint eatery has some remarkably good food waiting behind the counter for both foodies and tourist alike. Being a local to the area, I really like the outdoor seating with a view of the marsh and Freshfields village. It was a great spot to take our toddler to with plenty of variety to choose from along with lots of house made items. If you are heading to Kiawah or Seabrook, this should be your go-to café for everything from coffee to a well stocked and supplied selection of choice wines from around the world. Make sure to check it out, you'll be glad you did!

Love this place! One of my fav coffee shops on Kiawah, coffee is good and so is food . Below is the frittata

Cafe Eugenia.. We love visiting Cafe Eugenia. Very nice people and the food is excellent. Sadly, they were out of crossants so we went for an egg and cheese of focatia and a chocolate cookie. Both were excellent

I had a lovely breakfast outside in the rain (under a protective eave AND a patio umbrella). From my seat I had a peaceful view of the pond across the street. I ordered the avocado toast with pickle vegetables. It hit the spot. Next time I might try the whipped feta toast or go back to the wonderful biscuit and jam. I also picked up a couple of tahini bars to cut up for a dessert tray this evening. They are delicious!

Chicken salad sandwich- with requested lettuce and tomatoes.

We really enjoyed this cafe in the Freshfields area of Kiawah Island. Sandwiches are simple (and not inexpensive). But food tastes great and is something slightly different from the norm. All of the staff are friendly and helpful. They have some seating outside and it overlooks the pond area. There is parallel parking out front and a parking lot on the side. They also offer catering!

Even the bathroom is well appointed!

Uh! My favorite place to stop on the way to Kiawah Island. Open for breakfast, lunch and/ or quick late afternoon bite - but do note: hours are 8:00am-6:00 pm Tuesday - Sunday. The FIRST thing I make sure I order when I step through the door at Cafe Eugenia is to order a slice of their homemade coffeecake as well as a slice of their zucchini bread...yum. The FIRST thing I make sure I order and take home when I'm LEAVING the island is the aforementioned!!! The baked goods at the Cafe are a must try! All menu items are made fresh daily and locally sourced. Fresh salads, quiches and sandwiches to name a few. Tuna salad, chicken salad and today they had "curried" chicken salad. Hard to find around the Charleston area and I love curry--it was delicious. Next time I will ask for it served on one of their freshly baked croissants. Several "Take and Bake" meals and "To Go" selections can also be purchased. For the hostess wanting to feed the weekend houseguests the Cafe offers great cocktail party items such as cheese and charcuterie boards and hors' d'oeuvres. You won't be disappointed with their selection of wines for sale either. The Cafe's interior is upscale in feel and very comfortable complete with pillows for the indoor window seat tables. You will find Eugenia's nestled on the "lakeside" area in Freshfields Village. With both indoor and outdoor seating with umbrellas ~ views of the lake and the sky beyond makes for a pleasant lunch with your gal pals or for quiet business lunch. The staff keeps things lively and are friendly and eager to please. I highly recommend.

My favorite cheat cookie after long runs. I am obsessed with the dark chocolate cookie. It's a great combination of sweet and salty. It is huge. :). I've also sampled the homemade rice crispy treats. This place is always busy and has many menu options, including take-home meals. The cafe itself is well lit with indoor and outdoor seating. The service is quick, and the staff is very welcoming.

Need to switch up menu. Rely on your reading what is recipe in the service counter. Questions not welcome or it seems.

Nice breakfast sandwiches and espresso drinks. A little on the pricy side, but not exorbitant, especially for Freshfields.

The restaurant is beautiful with charming Southern touches throughout. Beyond the table decor, the…read moreprinted padded chairs added an elegant, cozy touch. Service was good overall, though they didn't check on us very often. I had the Lunch on the Porch so I could sample a little bit of everything: she-crab soup, crab cake slider, and beet salad. Everything was delicious. The she-crab soup was my favorite -- rich, flavorful, and with some lump crab in the soup. The crab cake slider had very little filler, just how I like it, and the toasted bun added a nice texture. The sides of the fruits were fresh. Their Southern fried chicken sandwich was solid without feeling overly heavy. Overall, it was such a pleasant lunch experience.

It's always nice when a restaurant exceeds your expectations…read more Had lunch today and I gotta say wow. The room is gorgeous, I love how it's divided up, reminded me of Spice Market RIP in NYC. Soaring ceilings, linen napkins, and a nice view of the ocean. Service was fantastic, always topping off the water. They give you a complimentary warm biscuit and big cracker with some pimiento cheese and herb butter. That was so nice and reminded me of old world hospitality. The food was very nice. Cup of she crab soup was fantastic. Generous portion of crab with a tiny kick. Incredible grilled cheese with a home made tomato bisque. And a massive blt that had blue crab in it and a fried green tomato. Very tasty. The bread could have been toasted a little longer but it didn't fall apart. Also came with a side salad which I picked Cesar and it did not dissapoint. One let down was being charged $7 for a glass of iced tea, which sat empty for the last 20 min of the meal and was not refilled. Aside from that it was a really nice lunch in a gorgeous setting.
