    Visiting family here that rented a house for the month and we were desperate for some good coffee nearby! The old fashioned pot coffee at home wasn't doing it for us. We stopped by and got a couple of cups of coffee and two pastries. Yum! Everything was great and fresh. I was eyeing a load of sourdough the had on the counter as well but we didn't have time to eat it as we were only there for a short time. This lil gem has great customer service and a big selection of souvenirs and gifts as well as a play area in the back for the littles.

    Drinks were okay, menu had a decent variety - wait times were insane. 40+ min for 2 drinks was pretty wild. It was Memorial Day weekend so busier than normal I'm sure, but there should have been 2 people making drinks to account for the influx of guests on the island.. As for drink options - it would be nice if you offered something similar to the refreshers at standard coffee shops, or matcha options with lemonade/juice bases for the non-dairy drinkers. 5 stars for the TC bakery items though - best cinnamon rolls we've ever had.

    My cousins wanted to try out island espresso and it was a pretty cute experience. They have many drink options to choose from. I saw their flavored sodas on their menu and the combos they have sounds delicious and refreshing! I'll definitely have to try the flavored sodas next time. I got their chai tea latte because it's one of my favorite drinks. The spices were nice and it was a great way to start my morning. They had little seating around the truck but people were mostly standing while they waited. We didn't have to wait long for our drinks.

    Stopped in for a coffee. We loved the Bible verse and his kids hand on the door! Coffee was delicious. Service was friendly and prompt. Clean areas to sit outside and enjoy your coffee. We would return.

    We visited a few times during our stay in SGI. We loved the coffee and chatting with the sweet family who owns it. Our kids loved playing in the little play area set up towards the back. We tried the Whaley & Bayshore lattes- both delicious. A highlight for the kids was the Shark Bite drink complete with a toy shark.

    The shop is so cute & the coffee was really good! The workers were very nice and offered suggestions. Seems like such a cute little spot with so much character

    When traveling we try to find local dives and anything that resembles a hole in the wall. This gave…read moreoff that vibe. This is essentially a permanent location food truck. The menu is vast and diverse; shrimp, crab cakes, burgers, dogs and pizza. We ordered crab cake apps, burger w/ mac n Chz, shrimp w/ o-rings, and a side of slaw. Ladies were pleasant and knowledgeable when ordering. The mid level review is due to wait time (an HOUR, no exaggeration) and food quality. When I inquired, they were very apologetic and accommodating with bonus dessert. Due to the weather and outside seating (food truck), we took our dinner home - 5 miles away - burger and mac n Chz were good, I'm guessing it was a bubba burger though. Shrimp was large and decent, o-rings soggy and cold - maybe sat too long waiting on other food. Crab cake was served on an excessive bed of lettuce, it had good flavor but overall just average. Coleslaw was literally made in front of us and had great flavor, would be amazing served cold. We saw many patrons come and go and if I had to guess pizza might be what they're known for to the locals. Seemed like they had ALOT of call in orders which I'm sure contributed to our wait. The dessert was amazing! Not sure I would go back but I'm glad we went today.

    Don't discount this small place! Everything that we ordered was freshly made and so delicious.

The sweet potato fries are covered with cinnamon sugar and are super addicting with the creamy tupelo honey dipping sauce. For a special treat I got the deep fried oreos and OMG they were sinful, that's all that needs to be said!
