The cafe was absolutely adorable! It was my first time coming and we did come about an hour before close, but they still had lots of good treats! The workers were so kind too! I got the frozen strawberry lemonade which was absolutely amazing! It was super refreshing and the texture was smooth. My friend got the brownie and my other friend got the blueberry lavender bar and both of them loved it! The only reason I didn't put this as five stars is because of the prices. The drink I got was $8 and was fairly small for that price, and the next size up was $12. The treats were about $5-$9 and not particularly large, but they seemed worth it! That was my only issue really. There was outdoor seating that was really cute too!!!! read more

After a nice walk on the beach decided to stop here for lunch. Found a table outside under an umbrella. You need to go inside and order at the cashier, was super friendly and helpful. Then your order is delivered to your table. I ordered the lean mean turkey wrap fill with do many fresh items for $16.00 so yummy. My husband ordered the turkey club $17.00 served in a baguette. So fresh and delicious! The restaurant was bright and clean. They had a wonderful selection of pastries and fresh salads. My brother and his wife ordered the salad where you get to choose three items from the assortment. They also shared their zucchini bread which out of this world. We all truly enjoyed our meals and the atmosphere. read more

Really love this sweet place every visit to Kiawah. The vibe is great as is the food and coffees. We've tried baked goods and pimento cheese and lattes- it's all great. Sweet staff too. read more

Their website says they're open till six but not published is that their kitchen closes at 5:40. I got there at 5:41 after having driven from Charleston and they would not serve me a sandwich because they closed the kitchen one minute earlier. Again, this is not advertised. read more

***4.5 Stars*** A great cafe located in Freshfields Village near Kiawah resort. Offers a simple, but good breakfast and also has many takeaway options such as salads, quiches, pasta, pastries and even alcohol (wine, beer). Our group of 4 came for breakfast just before 9 am. I would suggest getting there earlier, as a huge line formed at around 930am on a Saturday. I ordered the smoke salmon toast and my friends ordered the breakfast biscuit sandwiches. Everything was good and my friends even went back for lunch later on. Definitely a good breakfast spot to bookmark if you're staying at Kiawah and want to grab something casual outside the resort. read more

Grabbed coffee while visiting Kiawah and walking around the little shopping area. We both ordered lattes and loved them. The food and grab and go options looked amazing as well - I was sad we had just eaten. The pastry section looked INCREDIBLE. There is ample seating both inside and out. They had a cute wine selection and small boutique items as well. Our coffees came out quickly and staff was very friendly! read more

Now THIS is what I call a cafe! The coffee is incredible and the treats are fantastic as well. I wish I hadn't already eaten breakfast as the quiches look amazing. Do yourself a favor and order a sea salt dark chocolate cookie and a brown butter marshmallow bar. BLOODY DELICIOUS-- Cheers! read more

Did they raise their prices or was a single muffin always eight dollars (before tax and tip), because Wowzas!!

Update: came back after a couple of days. Yeah, it is still good In fact, I was still thinking about this place after coming the first time. We quickly packed and ran out of our place just to get a coffee before heading to the airport. Loved it even more this time ! read more

Great catering super excellent ownership high commitment to quality and value. Highly recommend the salads and trays. Dependably excellent!

My mom and I are staying at the Sanctuary for Thanksgiving and stopped by Cafe Eugenia to pick up some prepared salads to have in the room for snacks and WOW!!!! We got the white bean dip, chicken salad, lentil salad, pimento cheese as well as a dark chocolate cookie. Everything was so delicious and fresh. The cookie was one of the best I've ever had (and I've had a LOT of cookies!). It was so good we went back for breakfast this morning and WOW again!! The biscuits reminded me of my favorite biscuits at Brennan's in New Orleans. So very flavorful. The avocado toast was also delicious. We have 2 more days here and plan on going back at least one more time. You all need to open a location in Franklin, TN!!! read more

We ordered a vanilla Iced latte and one of the sandwiches. We got a cold sandwich with ham slapped on it, too much cheese and they forgot the Dijon. Honestly, my first grader could've made a better sandwich. The coffee was fine, not special. We probably won't come back. read more

Thank you Cafe Eugenia for treating this morning with a filling delicious sausage and egg on facia - big enough for 2 breakfasts. Lisa was very sweet and we had a pleasant chat. The crowd at 8AM this morning when your doors opened speaks loudly as to your popularity. We hope your are here on Kiawah for many years to come. We'll be back next week to pick up a large order of your chicken enchiladas to feed a 4th of July week family crowd of 12! Cheers! read more

I'd have to say that Cafe Eugenia is definitely a place worth stopping, enjoying, and savoring. We went for a late brunch and boy, oh boy, this quaint eatery has some remarkably good food waiting behind the counter for both foodies and tourist alike. Being a local to the area, I really like the outdoor seating with a view of the marsh and Freshfields village. It was a great spot to take our toddler to with plenty of variety to choose from along with lots of house made items. If you are heading to Kiawah or Seabrook, this should be your go-to café for everything from coffee to a well stocked and supplied selection of choice wines from around the world. Make sure to check it out, you'll be glad you did! read more

Need to switch up menu. Rely on your reading what is recipe in the service counter. Questions not welcome or it seems.

I had a lovely breakfast outside in the rain (under a protective eave AND a patio umbrella). From my seat I had a peaceful view of the pond across the street. I ordered the avocado toast with pickle vegetables. It hit the spot. Next time I might try the whipped feta toast or go back to the wonderful biscuit and jam. I also picked up a couple of tahini bars to cut up for a dessert tray this evening. They are delicious! read more

We really enjoyed this cafe in the Freshfields area of Kiawah Island. Sandwiches are simple (and not inexpensive). But food tastes great and is something slightly different from the norm. All of the staff are friendly and helpful. They have some seating outside and it overlooks the pond area. There is parallel parking out front and a parking lot on the side. They also offer catering! read more

Café Eugenia - Chicken salad sandwich- with requested lettuce and tomatoes. - New American Near Me - Johns Island, South Carolina

Uh! My favorite place to stop on the way to Kiawah Island. Open for breakfast, lunch and/ or quick late afternoon bite - but do note: hours are 8:00am-6:00 pm Tuesday - Sunday. The FIRST thing I make sure I order when I step through the door at Cafe Eugenia is to order a slice of their homemade coffeecake as well as a slice of their zucchini bread...yum. The FIRST thing I make sure I order and take home when I'm LEAVING the island is the aforementioned!!! The baked goods at the Cafe are a must try! All menu items are made fresh daily and locally sourced. Fresh salads, quiches and sandwiches to name a few. Tuna salad, chicken salad and today they had "curried" chicken salad. Hard to find around the Charleston area and I love curry--it was delicious. Next time I will ask for it served on one of their freshly baked croissants. Several "Take and Bake" meals and "To Go" selections can also be purchased. For the hostess wanting to feed the weekend houseguests the Cafe offers great cocktail party items such as cheese and charcuterie boards and hors' d'oeuvres. You won't be disappointed with their selection of wines for sale either. The Cafe's interior is upscale in feel and very comfortable complete with pillows for the indoor window seat tables. You will find Eugenia's nestled on the "lakeside" area in Freshfields Village. With both indoor and outdoor seating with umbrellas ~ views of the lake and the sky beyond makes for a pleasant lunch with your gal pals or for quiet business lunch. The staff keeps things lively and are friendly and eager to please. I highly recommend. read more

My favorite cheat cookie after long runs. I am obsessed with the dark chocolate cookie. It's a great combination of sweet and salty. It is huge. :). I've also sampled the homemade rice crispy treats. This place is always busy and has many menu options, including take-home meals. The cafe itself is well lit with indoor and outdoor seating. The service is quick, and the staff is very welcoming. read more

We decided to make the trek out to Kiawah for brunch and it did NOT disappoint! We got an egg, avocado, and cheese sandwich as well as the Mediterranean Orzo and Lemony Chickpea and Lentil salad. Everything was so delicious and we couldn't stop talking about how good the sandwich was afterwards! The cashier and individual that delivered our food were nothing but sweet and the shop itself was a vibe. We will definitely be back! read more

A very cozy little place, perfect for a rainy day! My wife and I really enjoyed the ambiance, very clean and full of natural light. The food was great! All of the prepared salads and baked goods look excellent, will have to return to try them all. read more

We found this place and we were blown away. We both had the egg, sausage and cheese sandwich - me on sourdough and my son on brioche. Excellent! How can one mess up egg dishes? Eat at the restaurants on Kiawah Island and you will find out (for twice the price). We had a blueberry muffin. Also wildly good. Delicious - not sugary or overly sweet - but still very tasty. Lastly, my son had coffee (forget the name) it was kind of like espresso. He loved it. I wish I had found this place earlier for breakfast. read more

Found this place on accident and was pleasantly surprised! Super clean, great location, friendly service the food was delicious! I ordered the Mediterranean veggie sandwich and a side of potato salad. Both super fresh! I will most definitely be back. :) read more

The most amazing catered lunch I have ever had! My beautiful bride catered it at her bridal luncheon! Thank you!

Definitely a great brunch place! Had the meat quiche and bacon/egg/cheese croissant... yum. Great breakfast date spot I'd say...if I had a date. I would have included pictures, but I them too fast. They were that good. Another coffee drinker but I did get some type of milk, sugar and coffee type drink. To the right of the check out they have a stand full of different types of milk and sugars and spoons to make your crack-in-a-cup delectable. read more

Nice breakfast sandwiches and espresso drinks. A little on the pricy side, but not exorbitant, especially for Freshfields.

Our first experience here and we loved it. Sarah had the Chicken salad and I had the Italian Picnic Sammy. Service was warm, friendly and quick. Nice relaxed and upscale vibe for a casual lunch in the sunshine. We'll be back. read more
