Loved everything about this place and looking forward to making it a monthly regular!…read more Service was awesome and very attentive but not over the top. The hostess was a doll and told us she was so excited for us to try the food since it was our first time in. She didn't lie, it was great!! The interior gives calming "high tea" vibes but also very chill and the outside dining reminds you the little slice of paradise that Beaufort is. Private parking lot which was perfect and nice to be away from busy downtown.

Coast Roast had it all! We both had Irish Cream syrup, and it was the perfect latte. Just enough milk with great bean flavor and great syrup addition. They had many breakfast items, and we were able to enjoy breakfast together. It is also so cute inside. Don't let the May 2026 construction on the road keep you from stopping in! I highly recommend!

Every so often the wife and I take a road trip up the east coast; on this trip we were staying in…read moreSavannah Georgia but from there we decided to take a day trip over to check Port Royal South Carolina... with a goal in mind to have a simple, casual day with a visit to the Sands Beach Observation Deck and a hike/walk thru the Cypress Wetlands (path and boardwalk). We found parking right on Paris Ave (perfect spot to start our journey) but as we got out of the truck, we noticed Harbour Village with a true throwback vibe (as soon as I noticed the huge vintage gas station sign)... and there at the side of the road was Corner Perk. The place is so enticing on the outside (white and red building with open deck with plenty of seating)... we decided to check it out and the inside was just as pleasant. Lots of wood trim and colorful accents and the girls that welcomed us in were "perky" (no pun intended). My wife got a LAVENDER HONEY LATTE and I got a CHURRO LATTE. We noticed they had lots of breakfast options (omelettes, quiche, skillets, breakfast burritos, baked goodies and more). We didn't get any but we were tempted. We sat outside and enjoyed out coffees; my wife loved her latte and my Churro was sweet and delicious... and off we went for our hike thru the Cypress Wetlands. Afterward, I reminded my wife how good some of the bakery stuff looked so we ventured back in for round two... This time I had an Iced Cold Brew (can't recall if any special flavor) and we also got a couple items to snack on.... we shared a over the top, super rick BROWNIE and we also got a slice of BANANA BREAD (both were excellent).

This strip mall spot offers some Asian and American style breakfast and lunch items, slanted…read moretowards sweets. I was not entirely sure what a "waffle pop" would turn out to be, but I ended up with two of them in an order, freshly made and topped with one fruit and one sauce of choice. Getting bananas with blueberry sauce was a good choice, one of many I expect. My strawberry matcha with boba was compromised by them running out of strawberry boba, but the regular tapioca balls did just fine soaked in a robustly flavored beverage. Their donut selection was appealing, but I simply did not have room. It would be tough to get out of there without getting a ton of sugar, and this place did not seem to have a ton for the more niche special dietary needs. However, it did have a lot of interesting messaging as a community space, with resources directed towards military families in particular, which moves me to look favorably on the place. And their stuff is delicious.

My web search for coffee found this place just a couple hundred feet from my hotel, opening in just…read more5 minutes (7:00). So I walked over. It was not at all what I expected in a strip mall near a chain hotel. What a cheerful place, the walls yellow, the windows decorated with big bright suns, the menu boards artfully illustrated, kitchy motivational signs everywhere. I was greeted with a geniality matching the overall vibe by a woman whom it was apparent was the owner. I complimented her on the name "Sunny Summers". She told me it was named after her two daughters. There was a young girl working with her so I asked her if she was Sunny or Summer. She didn't say anything. As it turned out she was neither - just an unrelated employee. I had only come in for a cup of coffee but I saw the donuts and couldn't resist. Many of them were outrageous sugar bombs - and beautiful to look at. But I settled on a more sedate cinnamon-sugar. Glad I did. It was fried to order then dusted with the topping and served not in a bag but in a cute box sized just right for the single. So when I ate it in the car 5 minutes later it was still warm, and fresh as can be. Does she always do this or was it because I arrived just after opening? Unsure, but it was a spectacularly good donut. The coffee, too, was excellent. Strong, no bitterness or sourness, and from a local independent roaster. The other foods mostly fit in the category of sweet indulgences: donuts with crazy toppings, "waffle pops", french toast. A few lunch items like panini. The burger offering was made with pancakes rather than the traditional bun! Now a few words about the proprietor. I was astonished by her outfit that left little to the imagination. At 7 in the morning! It was hard to keep my eyes where they belonged but I managed! (Sorry, I have no photos, for obvious reasons.) I realized later, when I did more research on the place, that this was part of her shtick, playing off her reputation as retired professional wrestler Lacey Evans. Before that she was in the Marine Corps serving in the military police force. An interesting choice of careers for sure. There's a board with prepaid receipts that the less-fortunate can use to get food. That's great. I wish I had known about it when I was there, not later during my research. I would definitely have prepaid a meal. Also, discounts for military and first responders. Not necessarily how I would do things but I know her intentions were good. The world needs more places like this. So a plea to anyone reading this: You may not be able to give up your Dunkin and Starbucks completely, as I have. But just try it for a month, or even a week: next time you need a fix check Google or Yelp for independent coffee shops, try something different, even if you have to go a little out of your way. You may just discover a new favorite hangout.

Somehow I never knew this cafe existed. I was there with some friends for lunch and it was…read moreabsolutely outstanding. It was also a lot bigger than I expected. Located in a strip mall area there's plenty of parking. They have a Louisiana/Cajun/New Orlean type cuisine Rachael was our server and was extremely helpful as well as patient with the group I was with. Since reading the reviews prior to visiting, I wanted to try the Oyster Po-Boy. On the lunch menu, they had Combos where you can order a half Po-Boy along with soup or Gumbo for $13.95. The Oyster Po-Boy added an extra $1.00. So that's what I ordered----half oyster Po-Boy with Shrimp & Corn soup. The soup tasted like it may have been homemade. It was excellent with at least 6 medium size shrimp along with a delicious corn and seafood broth. The half Po-Boy was definitely a good size packed with large fried oysters. They had a separate room which I didn't visit. I'm guessing for larger parties or overflow. I believe they also serve alcohol although I didn't see a bar when I was there. Mainly people there for breakfast, brunch or lunch.

I pointed it out and instead of remaking it they crushed it together and served it anyway. When I opened it, it was complete mush and there was even trash mixed in with my food. The bagel with a fried egg was just as bad -- smashed egg, yolk leaking everywhere, and thrown together with no care. Food like this is embarrassing. This place might get by without competition, but Bluffton deserves a lot better than this. Someone need to check this place. What happens to quality of what is served. Stay away, if ya and that called me 20 bucks. Gross

When they politely asked for their "waitress," they were actually kicked out of the restaurant ALONG WITH HER DISABLED TODDLER, simply because they didn't use the term "server." The complete lack of professionalism, basic human decency, and customer service here is appalling. This isn't just a case of bad service; it is a complete failure of basic human respect. Kicking out a family with a disabled child because of a harmless word choice is an abusive power trip, plain and simple. Do not give these people a single dime. There are plenty of other welcoming places to visit in Beaufort.

The Rooster had so many great reviews however fell flat for us. Considering so little customers seated, breakfast took a very long time to come out. The pancakes were heavy and didn't come with anything so hubby ordered Al la cart eggs and smoked sausage aka is kielbasa which he didn't know prior to ordering. I ordered the southern sunrise, eggs were good so was the bacon nice and crispy, cheesy grits were just ok not great and the biscuits was a little heavy. All the butter was frozen solid so not easy to put on pancakes & biscuit. Mediocre at best and NOT worth the price we paid for breakfast. We wouldn't return.
