She checked on us many times and made sure we were satisfied with every little thing. We found pretty, fun hats to try on for pictures. The table scape was lovely and the china beautiful. There was the cutest piece atop the water glass that looked like a bird. In it was a lemon slice that you squeezed and then poured the lemon juice into your water. What a wonderful touch. They have warmers in place to hold your tea pot to keep warm. I tried the hot cinnamon spice tea and it was lovely. Full of flavor and so fragrant. We tried the tomatoe bisque soup which was full of flavor and nice and warm. We enjoyed a nice salad with the secret homemade dressing. The 3 tier stand with all the goodies was wonderful. The presentation with ribbons and roses was elegant and inviting. We sampled lovely tea sandwiches, scones and Madeline cookies and chocolate covered strawberries. The scones were warm and delish filled with cranberries and white chocolate. I believe the best scone I've ever tried. My favorite little sandwich was the cranberry bread filled with a cream cheese spread with Kaluha, maple and walnuts. OMG! Absolutely loved our tea today and will return near Christmas time as they change up the menu several times per year. This was an enjoyable and delicious experience.

Our party of three had a peanut butter shake which was lacking in peanut butter. The shake was very thick, too thick to use a straw so a spoon it was.

I understand it's all homemade using premium ingredients. It was very crowded and everyone was commenting on how good it was.

Limited hours: 6:00 AM- 2:00 PM. Caring staff makes sure your order is prepared in a timely manner! Popular spot for the locals there tends to always be a line. Many customers order ahead and carry out. That's when you know it's a great place! They're proud of their New York style of bagels and unique creations & daily bakery delights. We saw a BBQ sauce blended bagel & so many more combinations of different blends. The sandwiches look delicious, as well as their cream cheese fillings. We wanted to get one but, we were meeting family for lunch in Myrtle Beach. Yet, we had to get some baked treats. Ordered the peach strudel, apple crumb strudel & butter cookie with apricot filling. The peach strudel was a little too sweet, the apple strudel was absolutely amazing and that butter cookie was literally the best thing ever! It wasn't the hard cookie crunch most are made. It was a soft, delicate light pillow of perfection. I could have ate a few more and refrained from taking a bag "to go" LOL Note- Many other local finds from jams to spreads. Can make great gifts. *They have on-site parking. *Specials on day old goods and daily discounted prices if anything is left over from a few days before. Highly recommend this adorable little store.

That kind of hospitality makes the experience even better. And don't leave without trying their amazing iced coffee, it's the perfect addition to any breakfast or lunch. Highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for great food and friendly service! You are paying for quality food!!!

Island Market is confusing. I tied my small dog, Josie, outside and came in last year. They told…read moreme to bring her in and were very nice to her. A year later, two days ago, I brought her in and the staff fussed over her. Today I came in with Josie and a guy behind the counter scowled at us. They had a dog sitting on the counter. The scowling guy said the dog did not like other animals. He also told me I couldn't bring her to the back, where they had been so nice to her the day before, and the coffee drinks and bagels were prepared. We went next door to buy my café mocha. So, Island Mart confuses me. They are either very dog friendly or not. Depends on the day of the week?
