“ Went with my wife this morning and it was great! Got a sausage egg cheese biscuit and bacon egg cheese croissant - both were fantastic! Even better than the breakfast sandwiches are the pastries! Highly recommend. 100x better than Java Java nearby - much better food, service, and atmosphere. ”
“ Stopped by Cafe Eugenia and had an iced vanilla latte along with a dark chocolate cookie—both were a great treat! The latte was smooth and refreshing, with just the right touch of vanilla, and the cookie had a rich chocolatey flavor that paired perfectly with the coffee. The cafe has a lovely, relaxed atmosphere, making it a great place to unwind. The service was friendly, and the location is perfect for a quick stop or a leisurely coffee break. Definitely a spot worth visiting on Kiawah Island! ”

Service: such a friendly service Atmosphere: my fav part! nice and laid-back ”
“ When I say the best pickled shrimp I've ever had, I mean I savored it in store, took some home, rationed it out, saved the brine, and made more on my own. Absolutely outstanding! This is such a cute little spot, the staff is smiling and helpful, and every dip, sandwich, and salad I've tried has been a 10/10. Can't recommend it enough! ”
“ We chose Cafe Eugenia to host the rehearsal dinner for our son's wedding last month and could not have been happier! Since the reception was to be held at the Seabrook Island Club, we wanted a different kind of dining experience for the night before. As soon as he saw the bright and open, yet cozy interior of Cafe Eugenia, my husband knew its ambience was perfect for the relaxed and social evening we wanted. Chef Bea was wonderful to work with; she put together a wine selection, charcuterie and dinner menu that wowed everyone, from recent graduates to grandparents (32 guests). The fresh, light, Mediterranean-influenced offerings were refreshing in the June heat. Local fruits, vegetables, herbs and shrimp highlighted the menu selections. The staff provided top notch service from the moment we arrived. From informed wine recommendations to their attentive yet relaxed assistance, we felt their commitment to making this gathering memorable for our family and friends. Fresh flowers adorned the tables. Ample food was provided and appetizers and charcuterie trays were replenished promptly. WIth four entree selections, everyone's tastes were accommodated. We searched many potential venues in the Kiawah/Seabrook/ Johns Island area before finding exactly what we hoped for in Cafe Eugenia. It made a strong impression on our guests, who commented throughout the rest of the weekend -- and beyond -- on their delicious and enjoyable evening. Cafe Eugenia is a jewel! We highly recommend Chef Bea and her staff to anyone seeking a unique private venue for their gathering. ”
“ We felt welcomed the minute we stepped into the restaurant. The staff was pleasant and so helpful when deciding upon our takeout selections. All of us left with arms loaded with delicious foods, candles that smelled wonderful, bottles of wine, and a lattes in hand. Such a great place!!! ”
“ We enjoyed this little cafe. The shop was clean and welcoming. Most of the breads, pastries, and salads are displayed in a glass case to see before you order. Everything looked delicious. I can definitely recommend the goat cheese biscuits! Also the house chicken salad! ”
“ Not being dramatic- the Turkey club sandwich is one of the best sandwiches I’ve ever had. My first time on the island and while waiting for hotel check in, randomly popped in. Certainly won’t be the last! Cinnamon coffee cake and iced matcha were also delicious. Should note on the pricey side but well worth it. Everything in this photo was 29.00 ”
