Despite there being some construction in the shopping center, there was a steady flow of customers during our short visit on a weekday morning. The place was incredibly well decorated throughout with seasonal Halloween decor. The music selection was upbeat, but some of the songs were club music which felt a bit out of place for so early in the morning. They have some creative specialty caffeinated drinks, and they also offer smoothies, beer, wine, and cocktails, as well as a limited selection of food and dessert options. I went with an Aloha latte (4.5/5) which contains a combination of coconut, vanilla, and mocha flavors. It was unique and delicious without any bitter taste. They had coconut cake (3.5/5) on offer, and I had to get a slice since I hadn't had coconut cake in almost 2 years. It was tasty and wasn't too sweet, but wasn't overly moist, which gave me the impression that it had been made several days prior, and resulted in it drying out a little. It was the only place I visited in Hilton Head over the course of several days that passed on a credit card surcharge to customers. If you don't mind that, I'd suggest trying out Carolina Coffee & Crumbs if you're looking to try out a local coffee shop in the Coligny Beach area of Hilton Head.

I am very happy with my breakfast choices today.

No way you're eating this without a fork and knife. If you're thinking of ordering to go and eating while driving, think again. Lots of random decor inside as you can see from a few pics I posted. This place is small inside, maybe seats 30 including the counter. They probably double that capacity with outside seating.

I got to Sweet Al's to late one day and walked back to my bike to research an alternative. The owner (based on my best guess) pulled around in her car and offered to grab me something because, in her words, disappointment overtook my face when the door didn't open. To be fair, I was bummed I was late, but it reminded me that businesses and interactions like this is what makes Hilton Head so special. I then sat on their covered deck, drank my iced coffee and ate my delicious donut as I typed this review. They have forever gained by loyalty.

We were craving morning coffee, so we stopped our beach walk and headed up to Tiki Hut to go to the road, when we saw a sign for Sweet Al's. Hoping this was a coffee place, we followed the signs, and it led us to a shop in a condo complex. It was all open, so we were able to stop in! It is very small in here, but it was packed full of people and goodies! There were so many seeet treats, a vast menu, and even grab and go items. I wanted to try one of the many unique, custom drinks offered here. I asked the cashier what the best speciality drink was, and she asked if I like coconut, and I said yes! Seconds later, a huge coffee with blue foam in it appeared lol. It was very good! Sweet...just how I like it. It was coconut flavored cold foam with cold brew coffee and whole milk. It did take just a second of the drink to come out, but there was no where to stand and wait and the menu had a lot of items crossed off and paper specials hanging. This was confusing as I didn't exactly know what was available and what wasn't. A true hidden gem that I would totally come back to!

This location is a block away from the heart of Coligny. Every morning after our beach walk, we'd head her for a coffee. We got there early enough where there was never really a line. We wound up always ordering an iced sand dollar latte with almond milk and light whip. I'd also order a hot sand dollar for my husband. The staff was pretty friendly. I will say, when there was a line, one barista didn't seem like nearly enough. The line would get pretty long and took longer to get your coffee. I love the Sand Dollar latte. It's a combo between honey and cinnamon. We'll be back!

I tried the Sand Dollar latte, it was so good. 10/10. We were seated quickly, and they have a nice indoor dining area, and a lovely outside patio.

This place goes on our list of regular stops on HHI. Give it a try!

If you know, you know. The pastries here are absolutely worth the detour--and honestly, wherever I see a Paris Baguette, I do pull over. That includes locations I've visited in Northern California, North Brunswick, New Jersey, Atlanta, Georgia, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and even the one here in Charlotte down in Pineville. It's a bit of a drive for me, but when I'm in that area, I always make a point to stop in and pick up a couple of their delicious croissant-donut pastries and marzipan or almond croissants. That's the beauty of this bakery--it's a chain, yes, but the consistency is what keeps me coming back. I have yet to be disappointed. Of course, I had to stop at this Hilton Head location--and I didn't come empty-handed. Food connects people, and bringing pastries to your host is always a winning move. I picked up three different varieties of their famous croissant-donut style pastries (similar to the well-known cronut): * Chocolate * Tiramisu * Mango And I added two large almond croissants that were beautifully filled, flaky, and indulgent. Everything looked fresh, full, and irresistible. The setup inside is easy and efficient. It's self-serve: you grab a tray, line it with parchment, use the tongs, and select whatever catches your eye--from baguettes to cakes to coffee drinks. Checkout was quick, Apple Pay was accepted, and the whole experience felt smooth and well organized. The space was clean, friendly, and inviting, with plenty of outdoor seating. Bottom line: Whenever you see a Paris Baguette on your radar, pull over. It's dependable, delicious, and perfect for picking up pastries to share--or to treat yourself. For me, it's one of those rare places that delivers the same quality every single time, no matter the city--and that kind of consistency is something I truly appreciate as a traveler and lifelong foodie.

The only odd thing was that they charge a little extra for paying with a credit card, which feels a bit strange in 2026. But honestly? After tasting the ice cream, I'd probably pay the fee, a convenience charge, a processing charge, and a modest ice cream tax just to get my hands on another double scoop.

I expressed my disappointment, the cashier rang up the order for $45 for my family and sent us on our way.

I kept it simple with two scrambled eggs, hashbrowns, and a biscuit, while my husband ordered the eggs Benedict. Everything was delicious, but the hashbrowns completely stole the show. I would love to know how they season them because they honestly may have been the best hashbrowns I've ever had.
