Great food and even better service. I had the corned beef hash omelette and the California croissant. They were both delicious the only negative for me was the potatoes. They have a certain distinct taste. But my tastes are different and maybe others will probably love them.

I ordered a regular egg and cheese sandwich on a sour dough bread with a side of grilled potato pancake and a basket of tenders. The sandwich was good, but I never received the potato pancake, and the server charged me for a fried fish basket rather than the tender basket. The server who was serving us was already fighting, yelling , and was stressed out at the back door. I liked the place but will suggest everyone check their bills before paying.

Wherever We Eat
Hidden gem tucked away on market st. Downtown Charleston. Super close to King Street shopping. The breakfast is phenomenal made from fresh ingredients. Definitely in my top 2 places to grab a hardy breakfast. If you are unsure what to get; I would suggest the Ham Egg & Cheese. Just a Simple sandwich packed with flavor. I love the vibe here; It has this old time Diner feel with the glittery red seats and stainless steel decor over the kitchen. The staff is friendly and professional, Greeting you promptly when you arrive. Don’t look past this place…it’s really good food and may just be my new place to eat breakfast when I am downtown on business.

This place is so great we ate there two days in a row during our recent trip to Charleston! We both had the Crab and Bacon omelette the first day and the Fried Green Tomato omelette the second day. My wife and I agreed that they were the best omelettes we’ve ever had! The service was spectacular! We were waited on by Cassidy both days. We never had to ask for refills of coffee or water. She was always checking in and was quick to get us anything we needed. We took the time to let Charles, the cook, know how much we enjoyed the food! He is a true culinary artist. We will be eating at Sweetwater Cafe any time we’re in Charleston. I would recommend it to anyone!

Wonderful food and service! The fried green tomatoes are delicious. And get yourself a Boylan drink. I had a cane sugar cola. Better than Coke!

If you are looking for some great food this is the place. Absolutely as rustic of a cafe comes in the low country. The food was awesome and the staff really earned their money the hustle everywhere. Grits are probably the best we ever had.

Super tasty meal! There was a short wait of 10 minutes and we were seated right after! Our waiter was super nice and fun to talk to! We all enjoyed our food especially the hash browns and pecan crusted french toast! It wasn’t cheap but also not crazy expensive (abt $12-15 per person). The coffee was fresh and good as well!
