Crema's Take

Tucked away on the Isle of Palms, this spot serves up proper Southern breakfast with biscuits and sausage gravy that locals won't stop talking about, paired with a genuine mermaid-and-old-Charleston charm that makes you want to linger over coffee. The friendly servers and quick kitchen keep the energy warm even when it's packed, and the daily specials like their omelet special and creative Benedicts give you reason to return before your beach day. Cash only (with an ATM outside) keeps things refreshingly old-school, and arriving early rewards you with a cozy corner and a meal that tastes like genuine hospitality.

Me and the husband are at a marriage retreat this weekend and on a limited time budget. Chose this place because we couldn’t find any fast food nearby. Loved our “surfer girl” server. I wish I had made a note of her name. She was sooo nice. We ordered biscuits and gravy, fried eggs and coffee. It came out super quick. The only downside was, after we had already ordered, hubby saw a cash only sign. Luckily there’s an atm outside, which didn’t work at first, but a helpful fellow from the staff went outside and reset the machine and it worked after that. The food was good but the price, every single item being individually priced, was a little steep. Ended up paying (including the tip) $55 for gravy biscuits, eggs and coffee. We enjoyed it though and wished we’d had more time there.

Enjoyed the mermaid atmosphere. Had ham Eggs Benedict on the breakfast potatoes instead of the English Muffins. Busy, crowded so go early. Loved the vibe and the service! Only issue was we asked for a side of sausage gravy for hubby, so he could try it w his biscuit, the charge was 6.50!

Here with a group of friends. My meal, the daily omelet special was fantastic. The biscuits were perfection. My one friend cannot eat gluten. She ordered her meal with no toast or biscuits. The waitress rolled her eyes at her. My friend didn’t explain that she would have loved a biscuit, but couldn’t eat it, and she knew what to order. Then we waited forever to get our meals. The home fries were under cooked. It was a real mix of great food with poor service.

Waitress was so friendly and food came out extremely quick. We were there at about 7:30 am after watching the sunrise. We got the fresh fruit platter which was huge, the veggie omelette and the crab omelette. Both were delish! It comes with a biscuit and home fries and personally think the prices were reasonable. The shirts were $25 which is just cheaper than any souvenir shop! (And they’re cuter)
