    Coffee in morning
    Brian V.

    Nice place for breakfast with a bar and tables. Just a few customers when we walked in on a weekday at 9am. Good variety on the menu. Our waitress was from NJ originally and had a great sense of humor. My wife and I started with coffees. My girls ordered the strawberry blueberry French toast which was served with fresh berries and whip cream. My son got the Egg BLT sandwich and my wife and I each got an omelette. Highly recommend Raves.

    Menu.

    Nice little breakfast spot which I believe was a bar in a previous life. I'm big on a good breakfast and I tend to lean more favorably towards savory rather than sweet when it comes to breakfast. Raves delivers in that regard. Their omelettes are good but I they aren't the fluffy type which I prefer but tasty regardless. My mushroom and Swiss omelette was packed with mushrooms and the grits were point on. All this with friendly service. Definitely recommend.

    2x2x2 on the menu - scrambled eggs, toast, bacon, grits, with a side of fruit.

    My in-laws recommended Rave's, so we decided to try it while we were in town. It's a small space, that had a very locals vibe to it. The food itself was good, but the service was poor. Once they dropped off our food, nobody checked on us to provide refills of coffee, water, etc., or to see if we wanted anything else. With so many breakfast spots in town, we will likely try a few others before returning.

    Nice little diner with good local restaurant vibe. Friendly staff, clean restaurant, good food and reasonable prices. Slightly "smaller" menu than most breakfast/lunch/brunch prices but we had almost everything on the menu and all of our plates were clean.

    Family owned. Never disappoints. Extremely friendly and quick servers. Food arrival is really quick once ordered.

    Great cozy spot for a good breakfast! Loved the banana Carmel pancakes! Service was spot on and very welcoming! Nice hidden gem!

    Not greeted and not welcoming. No hostess and one server. Will enjoy a meal elsewhere.

    We've visited Milk & Honey several times and have always known them for their pastries, which are…read moretypically very good. However, the breakfast menu is quite limited. On this visit, we ordered the biscuit egg sandwich, and it was extremely dry with very little flavor--definitely disappointing. What also stood out was the service model. You order at the counter, pick up your own food, and are expected to bus your table, yet there's still an expectation for a tip. That didn't quite align with the level of service provided. Overall, this visit was especially disappointing since it was my wife's birthday and I had suggested we go here. Unfortunately, it didn't live up to expectations.

    Had been hearing from friends and family what a great breakfast spot Milk & Honey Coffee Cafe was,…read moreso I decided to stop in and try them out. They have some great breakfast options on their menu, unfortunately for me several of the items I was interested in were not available on the day I visited for breakfast. Since the menu is not extensive that left me with limited options for my meal. I did choose, and enjoyed the Classic Eggs and Toast, I substituted the toast for a biscuit. It was very good, especially the bacon, but not what my belly had intended for my meal. Rather the write a review complaining about the lack availability for several breakfast items on this day, I stopped by the counter on my way out and spoke to a team member. They explained that there was a recent change in ownership and they were working through adjusting the orders, etc. with the new ownership. They were polite, helpful and gracious about the whole thing and offered a coupon for breakfast on a return visit. First class customer service, cozy environment and great breakfast options and baked goods are a great reason to visit Milk & Honey Coffee Cafe.

The waitress was very friendly and gave our menus .. I ordered 2 eggs with cornbeef hash and grits with English muffin and my grandson ordered the red velvet waffle , my husband ordered the chicken and bit with gravy and my other grandson French toast . Everyone seemed to enjoy there plates and Finshed them . But me the cornbeef hash ( homemade) the sausage was rock hard and potatoes were undercooked slightly . I told the waitresses and she got me a new plate and the potatoes were the same but sausage was better but no flavor to this cornbeef hash.. overall the restaurant was clean and the customer were packing in to get breakfast maybe I ordered the wrong plate? Anyway the decor was very beachy and the atmosphere was very pleasant. Maybe if I'm back in South Carolina I will try different items ..
