What a sweet place with good food at a more than fair price! I had one of the best Greek salads ever! They took such care to cut the ingredients up to just the right size- a rare thing. My husband had the Bella- a beef sandwich grilles panini style, and it was delicious! The staff are sweet and so is the tea- recommend a half and half- sweet and not- for us from the north! Just a gem in one of the cutest towns we've happened upon! read more

They resumed normal hours on 10 June 2020. The food is delicious (sandwiches, homemade ice cream, soup, baked goods). They are also THE place to go locally to order birthday, wedding and other special occasion cakes. Try the macarons, they are delicious! read more

This is a small cafe in an even smaller town. As we were driving down the Main Street, we were afraid that it would be closed just like most of the other stores there. Thank goodness for Yelp! Pros: The sandwiches and sides were delicious. We had the Pimento Cheese, Italian, and Chicken Salad sandwiches on toasted croissants with sides of Potato salad, Greek pasta salad, and Orzo/pea salad. All were GREAT with the exception of the orzo, which was a little too heavy on garlic. Cons: We were very excited to find "homemade ice cream". However, we were disappointed in the ice cream - it needed more flavor and more sugar. (We had a strawberry shake, butterscotch and chocolate brownie ice cream scoops). It says something when my family doesn't finish our ice cream! The most disappointing is when the check came. When we ordered our sandwiches, we were clearly told that we could replace the side chips with a small salad side. We were surprised when the sandwiches came because the portions of the side salads were huge! On the check, we were charged full price for the sandwiches and the side salads. So basically that's the same as ordering each separately- with the exception of then we received no chips! We questioned and received no resolution, but paid full price anyways because the food was so good and we wanted to support this little cafe. Also, this is not the place to come if you are looking for good coffee - the coffee comes out of a bag of "cafe bustelo", which you can find in a regular grocery store. Overall, we would come back again - but would skip the ice cream. read more

The iced tea hit the spot and had some very well made and tasty coffee macaroons. The strawberry cake was also delicious. Not sure I would stop there for a coffee(named a cafe?) but the service was friendly and treats were yummy. read more

Cleveland Street Cafe - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Elloree, South Carolina

Great fresh and very tasty sandwiches and salads. Charming cafe with very friendly service.

Stopped in on a whim when passing through the area. The chicken salad was delicious! i can't wait to go back!

We popped in to the cafe for a quick bite and were not disappointed! I had a delicious pimento cheese sandwich and potato salad, and my husband had an equally excellent turkey and apricot chutney on a croissant. We of course also had to try Anita's homemade baked goods: a yummy chocolate chip cookie bar and a cream cheese cookie... both were just like Mom makes (but maybe even better). This is a small cafe in an equally small town, but you feel right at home. Don't be surprised if a local offers to take you to the adorable shop Sweetgrass across the street too (yes, that happened). Anita is a local and is a one woman show. Even on a busy Saturday afternoon, she took the time to chat a bit. If we find ourselves back in Elloree, we will definitely be back for some yummy sandwiches! read more

My daughter and I went hiking at Congaree National Park and then wanted ice cream. So took the back roads to Elloree and found this gem. This is a great place for a sandwich. The downtown is quaint. I will def be back read more

Very good sandwiches. Excellent ice cream. I'm an ice cream snob. The macchiato ice cream here is among the best coffee ice creams I've had anywhere on the planet. She makes cakes and pies too, but was all out when I was here, so I can't comment on them. The only thing keeping this cafe from 5 stars is that the lemonade comes from Countrytime rather than from lemons. If I'm ever back in this part of South Carolina, I will come out of my way to get more ice cream from the Cleveland Street Cafe. read more

Great little cafe in a historic town, very friendly owners, comfortable seating. I had a nice Greek Salad for just $3.75 - fresh, tasty, and amazing price. Also serve other foods and ice creams. Coffee was very good too. read more

Stopped by this afternoon for lunch with a bunch of friends from Jersey. Food is fabulous. everything was made fresh. Rachel is a real sweetheart will be back soon. read more

We were pleasantly surprised to find this place on our way from Congaree National Park to Charleston. It appeared to be the only place open in town, and the food was great! We had tarragon chicken salad sandwiches (special for the day, not always on the menu) and the macchiato ice cream. The sandwiches were very fresh and homemade (though much better than what I could have made at home), and the ice cream was delicious. Everything was very reasonably priced as well, and many of the other menu options sounded enticing. The owner was also very friendly and told us a little bit about the town while we were there. If I ever happen to pass through Elloree again, I will be sure to stop here. read more

Unique tasty sandwiches, sides, and ice cream! The turkey with apricot jelly on whole grain bread is delicious as is the macchiato homemade ice cream. Small town and personal atmosphere. It is worth going out of your way. read more

Wow! We were so surprised by how delicious the food was at this quaint cafe! The turkey with apricot sandwich had an amazing flavor combination that I would never have imagined tasted so good! The pepperjack with turkey was fantastic - warm, toasty and just the right hint of spice! The Vietnamese coffee was also excellent! For dessert, we had chocolate truffles and the amazing ginger ice cream! I hope we can travel through this town again so that we can repeat this dining experience! read more

This place is a real treasure. Food is hot and fresh, the owner is friendly and really makes you feel at home. It really made my week to find this place. read more

Scratch breakfast, they're not open. They do open at 11 A.M. and they are well worth the wait. Very nice use of the space, with some of the original brick. The menu is varied without being overly ambitious. Good sandwiches, salads, and wraps, homemade ice cream, and milkshakes, They do custom cakes that look wonderful, I haven't tried one yet. A welcome addition to Elloree, just a few miles from Santee. Branch out, take the drive. read more
