    We love to go to the Blue Canoe from our home in Johnston. In the nice weather, we love to sit in the little outdoor area with picnic tables and umbrellas. The salads are amazing: very generous, great ingredients, and super fresh. Burgers and fries are great too. They have coffee for sale inside, which I have purchased and is extremely good. The indoor atmosphere is charming, cozy, with high ceilings, and part of the cool vibe is from the fact the building was a bank back in the day. Well worth a trip from Aiken, North Augusta, or even Augusta.

    What a disappointment , recommended by the local butcher shop for lunch. Overpriced very much 2 sandwiches comes with a side , 1 water 1 tea = $26.95 . The burger was no bigger than a kids burger . tasty but quantity and price are aweful.

    This cute little Cafe, has all the southern charm you need!! The employees are always so friendly and willing to answer any questions. The owners are some of the nicest people you will meet. I've had several items on their menu and each was delicious. Their biscuits and muffins ,were pretty good. scones are absolutely one of my favorite breakfast items. Sadly I ate it so quick I didn't get a picture!!As far as lunch goes I've had their paninis which are a good choice but the pizza hits home for me. Would recommend this place to anyone. Along with being one of the friendliest places they are also quick. Only downside is this place only opened a week ago so some of the fine detailed are still being worked out, but has become my favorite place in downtown Ridge Spring. Update: New favorite item is the Vanilla Chai, its pure heaven in a cup. Soooo delicious!!

    It's a shame the quaint atmosphere doesn't match the experience as was the case with our visit. The 2 teenagers we interacted with seemed bothered we were even there. And I'll add that we were the only ones in the place. Nothing friendly whatsoever. The girl who took our order was barely verbal at all. We ordered and sat down. The food came out in quick time & the fries were hot. My burger was a special that was supposed to have blue cheese and pickled onions on it and both were lacking to the degree that I took the bun off to . 2 slivers of onion that together were the length of my pinkie were pathetically present and the presence-or lack of- blue cheese was equally disappointing. The burger ( both) were small as evidenced by my pic. For these reasons I wouldn't return and for an even bigger reason I'd never order pizza from here- we watched a girl take pizza boxes from a storage room to the counter. She used her foot to prop them open on the floor and then place on the counter to fold. Disgusting.

    Best Salad EVER!!!!

    Nice addition to the Ridge. Good pizza with toasty crust. Ice cream is a hit of course.

    We were on our way from Hilton Head to Asheville on back roads escaping traffic from hurricane…read moreIrma. Rout 321 took us to 178 right through Batesburg-Leesville. Yelp yielded the InsideOut Cafe. The weather was mid-seventies and perfect for dining on their porch. The whole backyard is clustered with tables & umbrellas, gazebo and lights that sparkle at night ( I'm sure. I was there at lunch) I had a breakfast wrap At least 150%better than any fast food wrap I've ever had. The wrap itself was thin, so you didn't feel like you were eating a mouthful of dough. The BACON was crispy !! Just right. I also had an ice coffee with pumpkin spice flavor! To top this off try the mint / chocolate tart ‼ It's a few miles off 178. Well worth the few minute drive.

    This place is a hidden gem! I never would've thought it would be hidden in small town…read moreBatesburg-Leesville. The atmosphere is amazing, 5 stars. I can't wait for it to cool off so we can go hang out with some craft beer and wine around the outdoor fire pits. The food was also great, coming in at 4 stars. I had the Cow Catcher sandwich (roast beef and cheddar with horseradish) and my wife had a turkey sandwich. The Cow Catcher was everything I imagined, very bold and tangy, layered with enough meat to balance the panini style toasted bread. My wife got a turkey sandwich, but hers was short on meat and didn't pair well with cheddar. The service was good, but the server was a bit awkward. We tried to be friendly, but she wasn't very talkative. She wasn't rude or anything, just shy and a touch awkward, so we give service 4 stars. Overall, 4/5 stars, and I'll definitely be back to see if they can upgrade to 5! Also, I want to try a "mystery beer" on the next visit. I was disappointed that we were the only ones there for about 30 minutes but when we left there were 2 other parties. Hopefully business picks up. I don't want B-L to lose such a nice spot!

    Well it's taken me awhile to rate this little cafe yep I'm call it a cafe. First time I came here…read morethey were closed figured it was a coffee shop by the words on the window stating coffee shop. Well no coffee for me considering they didn't open till 10am, that's why I say cafe. Ok fast forward to my lunch about noonish, a total of 4 of us came here. The inside was cute def had that comfortable lounge about kinda place I so wish I can sit in all day long being a lazy bum but I have mouths to feed so that's not happening! The waitress was extremely nice took our order without any issues (you order at the counter). I had the tiki burger, it came with bacon and pineapple drenched in barbecue sauce, it was delicious so good I could feel the buttons on my pants give away to my expanding stomach. Ok enough about me let's talk about what the others ordered, yep you will rethink who's the real fatty!! They ordered the fried burger with fried French fries whoa.... guess my tiki burger wasn't so bad after all lol. Ok their fried burgers were yummy to the order did come with onions and jalapeño when they weren't ordered but they sucked it up and just picked them out. The only complaint i did have was it took an extremely long time to get the fried burgers out I highly recommend if u are pressed for time you call in the order ahead of time, over all give it a try!!

And I'm a faster so I hadn't eaten anything except that coffee and it gave me upset stomach. And I'm a regular coffee drinker super regular, and I have never tasted a cold brew this week, and there was so much sweeter in it that's all I could taste. Not to mention that they continue taking orders from the drive-thru and they serve them first before a walk-up and it was about 101° outside. So I will never come back here again. Maybe there are other products are good but I had some locals tell me that I should have avoided that place Don't know what that meant but I wish they had told me that before I went there.

First off, Carly, the gal behind the counter when we were there was awesome. Very patient with us as we browsed the menu. We each had a Caramel Macchiato. They were fantastic!!! When we got there the kitchen had just closed but Carly was kind enough to tell us about what they do when they open food service back up a 4pm. They serve food from their food truck (actually, it's the coolest food service trailer). Being from NYC, I enjoy street food like nobody's business. That being said, we're very excited to try their (hot) dogs and ((French) fries. We will definitely be back. Before we left, we met two regular patrons. Got talking to them about everything iCrave. What a great place. Super cool worker(s), great vibe and atmosphere and cool customers. Give it a try and ask for Carly when you do. Tell her the cops from NYC sent you! Come to think of it... who better to give a coffee review than two cops from NY? lol! I shoulda axed if they had donuts! :) All kidding aside, super cool spot. Thank you iCrave Cafe. We'll see you again soon!!!

They start you out with a lemonade and a pot of tea of their choosing, then you can pick your second pot of your choice. They then bring out one dish at a time until you receive your last portion which is the tiered tray of goodies. This place is perfect for a solo adventure, girls day, bday celebrations, anniversaries etc. they have a vast selection of tea hats you can borrow to enhance your experience if you didn't already come dressed for the occasion. You even get to pick out our own tea cup before being seated. Once seated a young lady came by with a porcelain filled pitcher of hot water to rinse your tea cup out. I seriously cannot rave enough abt this place. They have a cafe downstairs if you don't want to do the tea experience but whatever experience you choose you cannot leave without looking over their vast selection of teas you can purchase. I absolutely cannot wait to go back here!
