Stono Market and Tomato Shed Cafe
842 Main Rd, Johns Island, SC
Crema's Take
“Tucked away on Johns Island, this charming Southern cafe combines a full-service restaurant with a working market and gift shop, creating the cozy, unpretentious vibe of a beloved neighborhood gathering spot. Their sides steal the show—think squash casserole and broccoli fritters that inspire weekly visits—while the French dip and breakfast options keep regulars coming back for more than just the coffee. It's the kind of place where you can linger over a slow sit with good company, browse local goods between bites, and feel like you've discovered an island institution.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly. Parking available.

I thought this was a nice list place. In addition to the diner, there’s a small grocery shopping area that was really cool. There’s also a gift shop so it has a little bit of everything. I got the Roast Pork and Gravy and my wife got a burger without the bun on top of a…
