Sweet Al's Cafe

Spent a week at Hilton Head and got sweet Al’s every morning! We loved this place. Great vibes inside, everyone is welcoming and the music is excellent. At first I thought the prices were a little high… but soon realized they have some of the lowest prices compared to the rest of the island. Highly recommend :)

Awesome little coffee shop in a ped mall. We make it a tradition to get a coffee and a pastry while our kids play at (terrorize?) the nearby pirate ship playground. Huge selection of pastries and decent coffee. Bagels are tasty as well. Homemade pop tarts look prettier than they taste. A little thick which throws off the ratios. Will be back

Sweet Al’s is a Great Coffee shop at The Beach house. During my coastal weekend, I visited three times after my sunrise beach walk & had a great experience each visit. The coffee warm and iced were delicious and the pastries were so fresh and each bite was as delicious as the first!! Brea, Welcomed us on the first visit and mentioned pistachio almond croissants for Sunday morning. They were absolutely delicious! It was also a pleasure to meet Al Sunday morning. This is a great spot and I look forward to returning to enjoy more delicious coffee, and pastries.

Short wait to get inside to order, but reasonable. Beautiful selection of breakfast eats, I got the apple Danish and it was great. Dark roast drip coffee was quite good. Just enough seating outside for the customers rotating through. They should rethink garbage can placements as some folks, including me, had to sit (literally) bumped up against a somewhat stinky can. Cashier was helpful and friendly. One of the staff that appeared to be making some of the coffee orders and doing things like refilling the creamer pot was pretty grumpy. To the point of being rude to not only me but to the cashier as well. She seemed pretty put out at having to refill the creamer pot. The ONLY downer during this visit. Loud, rude tourists letting their kids mess with my bicycle (not a rental) was not good... but that's not on Al's. I wouldn't normally mention something like this, but just a warning if you are bike racking a bike you care about.

- Raspberry filled donut was good. - Spinach tomato feta quiche was delicious. My husband liked the sausage something that he got, but over all, it was okay. The pastries at 10am don’t taste as fresh as 8am or earlier. The line is crazy long and there are 3-4 people behind the counter working there. I would recommend going earlier for fresher pastries and bigger selection. We did not get everything we wanted and taste today was not up to snuff/previous experiences. My 9yo was excited about the macaroons, but when she got two of them, she tried a little bite of each and didn’t like them so she ended up trashing them and was sad. There is no seating inside, but there are some gross sugar covered tables outside that you have to wipe off on your own with your own wipes you hopefully brought since there are no napkins outside. I would only go again if I could go at 8am or earlier. If you’re out and about while shopping (stores open at 10am) it’s not worth it.
