The Nest Market Café - Kiawah Island

Make sure you take your bank roll when you visit the island. Everything on Kiawah is very expensive, and this little convenience store is no exception. And, their selection of food is quite limited. Service: Take out Meal type: Other Price per person: $30–50 Food: 4 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 4

Staff are wonderful, food was inedible and expensive( to be expected) . Setting is nice. Meal type: Lunch Price per person: $10–20 Food: 1 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 3

Price gouging your residents is not the best business model. Then, making them have to wait, sometimes up to 10 minutes in line to pay. Because they have one slow checkout register. Convenient yes its right there. But on our next visit, we will come prepared. Service: Take out Meal type: Breakfast

Chill venue is spot on! Cool new spot on island to grab a gourmet coffee, lite fare, some groceries, and to people watch. We loved sitting on the wrap around porch in the morning watching the area wake up. We visit daily for something.

The Nest requires some obvious improvements: a real espresso machine, cold brew, improved menu items (real hashbrowns not a frozen fried patty, a couple more breakfast options like avo toast), and a better organized merchandise area. It’s solid but not meeting it’s potential especially for Kiawah and at the price point. However, it’s still a big improvement on east beach, the outdoor dining area is awesome, and the veggie omelette was delicious and high quality.
