However, amazingly, the lovely and gracious Athena saw us in the parking lot and offered very willingly to open back up fulfill our drink orders. She welcomed us to sit at the outside tables and commiserate, which we did for almost 2 hours. Athena made our visit to the island a joy to remember. The drinks were great but the level of customer service is what every small business should aspire to! We need mor Athenas, Thank you, we'll be back....before closing time next visit!

This is one of the only coffee shops on the island so we decided to stop by. The cashier was super…read morenice and let us know that they are open until 7pm and a nice spot to hangout. I got the lavender vanilla raspberry latte which was super good. I think they may make their own syrups which is an A+ in my book. My husband got a dirty chai latte and it was super creamy and maybe even slightly thicker than milk but not by much I really liked it. It had a great chai flavor definitely a top 10 favorite chai. The spot was clean and spacious and had a great parking lot.

You can order coffee to go at the service counter, and they have a variety of options to make it what you want. There can be a bit of a wait because the coffee is made fresh at the espresso bar, and busy times can cause a delay (understandable). The staff was working as hard as they could. The thing that drew me in was that this has a very cute house like vibe. I also loved the patio in the back!

Honestly we didn't have a great experience here the other day for brunch. We expected there to be…read morelong wait times for tables in saint simons this weekend as it was a holiday weekend. We were told that it would be about an hour and a half for a table we were ok with that and put our name on the list. I would say it took about an hour for a table. Our server immediately came to the table to ask for our drink orders so we thought we were off to a great start. She also took our food orders rather quickly. However, after that she pretty much disappeared on us. She never once came by to ask if we needed any more mimosas or refills on our waters. She didn't even let us know that the kitchen was backed up. We had to ask the hostess to look for her as it had been 45 minutes after ordering and we had no sign of her. She was outside texting. She then came by and said it's a holiday weekend it's going to be busy and then walked away. Our food was delish and we really liked what we ordered but by the time we got it we had been at the restaurant for at least an hour after ordering. I had the breakfast sandwich that was basically like a bacon and and cheese with tomato on a sandwich with cheesy grits on the side. We waved her down to close out and left right after we finished eating. Server was not friendly or attentive.

I can't sing the praises of Dulce Dough enough. The Cathead biscuit here is one of my favorite…read morebiscuits I've ever had. Filled with jalapeños, green onions, bacon, and cheese, it was truly an experience. The maple brioche donut was light and airy, but despite that being the focus here, it did not compare to the biscuits. We came a bit in the off season, and the line was pretty long even 10-15 minutes after opening, but the staff is efficient and it moved quickly. The interior is retro with a small amount of seating. Dulce Dough is deserving of the hype and I would wait in line for their biscuits and donuts anytime.

I'm rating this based only on the service/setup because I never got to try the doughnuts. Must be…read moregood, considering! The line backs way up out the door. You can't see the doughnut selections. They are painfully slow at moving the line - like, you'd think they're preparing to order (they're not, they're in batches). So, you line up, wait forever, and get in only to find they have nothing left or nothing you want. There's no way to know when they will run out or what they'll have left. I found their ordering process to be a frustrating waste of time. Maybe get there as early as possible and you'll have better luck!!!

Very informed. My only argument is that it is not listed anywhere that they have gluten free bread, I only knew cause of yelp. They have a large variety of bakery goods, and daily fun cookies. Eclair was out of this world. A lot of drink options, but was a little shocked to see a can of Colombe Coffee for $12, when they are usually $4!!! A lot of dad's cookies, gluten free options. They have a ton of fun unique gifts to look at while you wait. Including a ton of high end mah jong! Like $150 for pretty pink editions! Pool float! You name it, they probably have it!

All of the elements of each sandwich were good quality and fresh. Special shout out for the Egg Salad, which was a traditional southern version made with just the right balance of mustard and mayonnaise... delish! We will definitely be back!
