    French toast latte
    Kimberly B.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]I start off by saying this is such a cute little shop.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The server was relatively nice. Let's get into the food. I ordered a French toast latte (hot) for my drink. It has no flavor aside from cinnamon. It was just hot milk & cinnamon. I added a little sugar & it helped. I ordered the chicken salad sandwich & soup of the day for my entree. I unfortunately sent it back, due to not enjoying the taste. I was excited about the soup because I was told it had chickpeas. They were not cooked properly; chickpeas typically are best a day later, although I didn't see the chickpeas.. it seems like it had lentils that weren't soaked long enough? Unsure, regardless I was not a fan. I decided to still eat here & ordered the pecan crusted grilled chicken salad. Absolutely DELICIOUS! It was such a fresh & tasty salad. If coming here I would highly recommend this! I would not recommend any of the pastries. The apple danish was slightly underbaked. I know with wet apples, the bottom can sometimes not cook all the way, so at least this one would be a no. Flavor was ok, but texture was off. I also order muffin with carrots, raisins and I believe cinnamon. I do not recommend this either. It was too heavy & not cooked well enough. Because of everything in it, it was still a little too wet. The top of it was too heavy in cinnamon, as well. Overall, if on the hunt for a salad please try this place. Otherwise, not the first choice.

    Wow! Magnolia Café was exactly what we needed in Beaufort. After a disappointing hotel stay, this place totally saved our morning. The staff was incredibly friendly, and we were seated after just a short wait. The café has a cozy, welcoming vibe and a beautiful view of the marsh--such a perfect setting for breakfast. The food was delicious. I loved the Greek yogurt bowl, the sourdough toast was perfectly tangy, and my vanilla latte with almond milk was so good. My husband's breakfast platter was a hit too. An absolute must-visit for breakfast or lunch. Open weekends 9-2. Don't skip this spot--you'll be glad you didn't!

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Loved this cute little bakery, cafe, brunch spot![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]You can get a view of the waterways of SC from the cafe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I had a seasonal lucky charms latte, and an Italian sub with pasta salad. The servers were sweet and took care of me quickly even though they were quite busy! I just had to take a cupcake home. Definitely visit!

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Decent brunch spot.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Food and drinks were good, our party of 6+ did have a few issues with our orders. Even after we paid and were getting ready to go, another server tried to bring us our substitutions and sides that we requested 40mins prior. Golden milk tea was an interesting try. Felt healthy and warming. Great drink once the weather drops below 70. Be wary of a yellow lip while sipping.

    The cutest brunch spot! They have so many yummy pastries and brunch items to choose from. We really enjoyed the Ruben and avocado toast! The service was pretty quick and the inside was very cutesy with indoor and outdoor seating available. Would recommend!

    10/10 recommend the French toast latte. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This cafe is so cute.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I've been multiple times and have yet to be disappointed with the service and food - it's all great Check out videos at @lexgeteating

    Not the worst view

    This is apparently an old place revitalized under new ownership. The fundamentals are there, with a fantastic space that looks out towards the water with indoor and outdoor seating. Despite the nice weather, I might have elected to sit inside had I anticipated the stinging caterpillars hanging around; not that it's the restaurant's fault as I saw them in other locales as well. Fortunately, I did not get stung, but someone nearby me did have a minor encounter. The place has lots of seating options, so just choose wisely. I was glad to learn that this is the sort of place that offers both its breakfast and lunch menu at the same time, and which has several notably different vegetarian selections that are worth choosing from. Despite pondering a tofu-based breakfast bowl, I was nonetheless tempted by a waffle, which arrived with a lightly chai-flavored cream as well as syrup and some fresh fruit. It was very nice. Ordering a tea got me a pot and a good quality bagged tea. They had a pastry selection as I wandered out, but I didn't need any more. Still, worth pondering for the future.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere made me feel fancy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service was very fast. And the cookie was amazing! Shoutout to Anna!

    So cute! And the view!
    Melissa G.

    Delicious! This place was such a wonderful surprise. It's across from the water and away from the busier section of Beaufort. They have indoor and outdoor seating, and both are lovely. The selection of food was impressive and the quality and taste was delicious! We loved this place!

    Great little spot with a variety of dining options and delicious creative food. I had the Beef on Weck and the Superfood Slaw. I was by myself and sat at the front high top but the outdoor area looked amazing. The service was great as well. Will definitely be back and I highly recommend.

I was not entirely sure what a "waffle pop" would turn out to be, but I ended up with two of them in an order, freshly made and topped with one fruit and one sauce of choice. Getting bananas with blueberry sauce was a good choice, one of many I expect. My strawberry matcha with boba was compromised by them running out of strawberry boba, but the regular tapioca balls did just fine soaked in a robustly flavored beverage. Their donut selection was appealing, but I simply did not have room. It would be tough to get out of there without getting a ton of sugar, and this place did not seem to have a ton for the more niche special dietary needs. However, it did have a lot of interesting messaging as a community space, with resources directed towards military families in particular, which moves me to look favorably on the place. And their stuff is delicious.

    My web search for coffee found this place just a couple hundred feet from my hotel, opening in just…read more5 minutes (7:00). So I walked over. It was not at all what I expected in a strip mall near a chain hotel. What a cheerful place, the walls yellow, the windows decorated with big bright suns, the menu boards artfully illustrated, kitchy motivational signs everywhere. I was greeted with a geniality matching the overall vibe by a woman whom it was apparent was the owner. I complimented her on the name "Sunny Summers". She told me it was named after her two daughters. There was a young girl working with her so I asked her if she was Sunny or Summer. She didn't say anything. As it turned out she was neither - just an unrelated employee. I had only come in for a cup of coffee but I saw the donuts and couldn't resist. Many of them were outrageous sugar bombs - and beautiful to look at. But I settled on a more sedate cinnamon-sugar. Glad I did. It was fried to order then dusted with the topping and served not in a bag but in a cute box sized just right for the single. So when I ate it in the car 5 minutes later it was still warm, and fresh as can be. Does she always do this or was it because I arrived just after opening? Unsure, but it was a spectacularly good donut. The coffee, too, was excellent. Strong, no bitterness or sourness, and from a local independent roaster. The other foods mostly fit in the category of sweet indulgences: donuts with crazy toppings, "waffle pops", french toast. A few lunch items like panini. The burger offering was made with pancakes rather than the traditional bun! Now a few words about the proprietor. I was astonished by her outfit that left little to the imagination. At 7 in the morning! It was hard to keep my eyes where they belonged but I managed! (Sorry, I have no photos, for obvious reasons.) I realized later, when I did more research on the place, that this was part of her shtick, playing off her reputation as retired professional wrestler Lacey Evans. Before that she was in the Marine Corps serving in the military police force. An interesting choice of careers for sure. There's a board with prepaid receipts that the less-fortunate can use to get food. That's great. I wish I had known about it when I was there, not later during my research. I would definitely have prepaid a meal. Also, discounts for military and first responders. Not necessarily how I would do things but I know her intentions were good. The world needs more places like this. So a plea to anyone reading this: You may not be able to give up your Dunkin and Starbucks completely, as I have. But just try it for a month, or even a week: next time you need a fix check Google or Yelp for independent coffee shops, try something different, even if you have to go a little out of your way. You may just discover a new favorite hangout.

We found parking right on Paris Ave (perfect spot to start our journey) but as we got out of the truck, we noticed Harbour Village with a true throwback vibe (as soon as I noticed the huge vintage gas station sign)... and there at the side of the road was Corner Perk. The place is so enticing on the outside (white and red building with open deck with plenty of seating)... we decided to check it out and the inside was just as pleasant. Lots of wood trim and colorful accents and the girls that welcomed us in were "perky" (no pun intended). My wife got a LAVENDER HONEY LATTE and I got a CHURRO LATTE. We noticed they had lots of breakfast options (omelettes, quiche, skillets, breakfast burritos, baked goodies and more). We didn't get any but we were tempted. We sat outside and enjoyed out coffees; my wife loved her latte and my Churro was sweet and delicious... and off we went for our hike thru the Cypress Wetlands. Afterward, I reminded my wife how good some of the bakery stuff looked so we ventured back in for round two... This time I had an Iced Cold Brew (can't recall if any special flavor) and we also got a couple items to snack on.... we shared a over the top, super rick BROWNIE and we also got a slice of BANANA BREAD (both were excellent).

We were informed there's no pancakes and no waffles. Strike 1. We ordered the crab cake bene, the original shrimp and grits and the French toast with scramble. The French toast was fine. Nothing special. The scramble however was a complete joke. They clearly have a vat of their "side eggs" just ready for the scoopin. They were cold and oh so dry. My sister's crab cake entree was absolutely disgusting. The crab cake was orange on the inside, it was mushy and no discernible taste of crab whatsoever. It looked like a dark brown salmon patty my mama would make with a Double Q. The shrimp and grits. Wow and not in a good way. 50 percent of the bowl was onions. Both raw (and almost raw) onions and green onions. There were FOUR shrimp that were absolutely TINY (about the size of a Wild West shrimp from Longhorn) and they had the poop STILL IN THEM. Did I mention that this cost us ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS!?!?!? I want to stress again.... Our server was great. I always feel guilty writing bad reviews but I just had to be honest.
