Great variety and it's all great. They don't have reservations though. I took my whole family of 30, I visited early and the owner accommodated is at opening the door.

Great. My order was a little off. Was chasing grand kid. Could have been a communication error on my part

We stayed in Wyndham on our vacation and we stopped in to get some coffee at this local cafe. The shop was clean and very welcoming. Amber, the manager, was very friendly and answered all of our questions without hesitation. She was very knowledgeable on their options, as we weren’t sure what to order. She informed us of activities Wyndham offered that we had no clue about!! We will definitely be back to the cafe on our next trip to Edisto!

I was hunting a mocha after a long night. Marsh moon was closed so we drove to this place on the other end of the island. Was able to score a latte and the batista was so nice. We had a nice chat about a place we'd both lived before and how much we loved Edisto while she made my drink. She was also super kind to my kid who, although well behaved, was a little short on sleep.
