We stopped by the bakery/market side of things as well, and got to see beautiful paintings from a local artist, as well as some deli offerings, before we got to the sourdough loaves, rosemary focaccia, and gorgeous cakes. We sat out on the patio so we could enjoy the incredible view of the water and the live oaks. Don't miss this one!

There aren't an abundance of eateries offering plant-based options in town but you can find several items on the menu at the Herban Market and Cafe. It was nice outside so we took our drinks out to a table. A server brought our food out to us and later someone was by to clear our plates to. We enjoyed sandwiches, wraps, dessert, a smoothie coffee, and iced teas. All the items seemed to be thoughtfully made with fresh ingredients. It's convenient to have a place where we could go and everyone found something they would like. The staff was really friendly and it looks like if you want to bring a pet and sit outside you can because there were many furry friends around at the tables.

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.

My husband and I tried coffee and breakfast while visiting Beaufort, SC…read more We are coffee snobs, and we seek to find shops that roast their own beans, offer a variety of house made syrups, and make a quality drink with a perfect combination of those two things. We both tried coffee off of their seasonal menu - I had a 16oz iced Orange Cream latte, and my husband had a hot 16oz Cookie Butter latte. We also had the Brekkie sandwich and Avocado Toast with a fried egg and bacon. We both found our lattes to be extraordinarily sweet. Although the house made syrups had excellent flavor, they were too sweet for us. I ended up adding a third shot to my 16oz iced Orange Cream (which they did at no charge!) to dilute the sweet of the syrup. My husband is not the type to request changes to his order, so he drank his coffee as is (although he could have benefited from an extra shot in his coffee as well). If you are someone looking for a less sweet option, I would check with the barista before ordering a normal amount of syrup at this coffee shop. I definitely would have benefited from asking for 1/2 sweet. Also, the 16oz iced and 24oz iced do not have a difference in coffee shot amount. Rather, the 24oz adds more milk to your latte. Just a warning for those who like more than two shots and think that's what they're getting by ordering the larger cup. The ambience inside is adorable. It matches its name perfectly.

This must be one of the most popular coffee shops in town! It was absolutely packed this morning,…read moreand the only seat I could find was at a six-top that I ended up sharing with another patron. Not ideal, but it worked. There wasn't a power outlet nearby, though I noticed several other tables had them, which is helpful for the remote work crowd. The crowd was evenly split: about half were laptop-toting remote workers and the other half seemed to be casual coffee shop patrons just enjoying their drinks and conversation. After about 20 minutes, I was able to shift to a smaller table with a bit more breathing room and power, and I stayed for roughly an hour. My cortado was excellent. Smooth, balanced, and just the right size though it was served in a paper cup, which felt a little underwhelming given the quality. At a neighboring table, someone ordered the avocado toast, and it looked genuinely delicious: fresh, vibrant, and generously portioned. They also offer a tempting selection of pastries, which I didn't try this time but will keep in mind for a future visit. There's both indoor and outdoor seating, which adds flexibility depending on the weather or your mood. Parking is plentiful, as the shop is tucked into a strip mall near what appears to be a shuttered Kmart store. That location makes it easy to access, even during busy hours, and the overall vibe is lively without being chaotic. [Round number review 1300 of 2025 - 1313 in South Carolina - 24852 overall]

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).

The cider was fine, but not special - wouldn't make a special trip for it.
