Sea Biscuit Cafe
About This Spot
Sea Biscuit Cafe is a warm, laid-back breakfast haven perched on Isle of Palms, where mornings stretch out with a gentle hum of quiet conversation and the subtle clinking of coffee cups. Walking up to its cheerful porch, you can feel the easy rhythm of the coast seeping into the air—a blend of salty breeze, fresh brewed coffee, and the welcoming scent of Southern comfort food being lovingly prepared.
The pace here invites unhurried moments, perfect for savoring the simple joy of fresh fruit shared alongside fluffy biscuits or indulging in a rich hollandaise-topped egg dish that feels both satisfying and unpretentious. It’s the kind of spot where locals and visitors mingle, drawn by the sincere warmth of the service and a menu that feels thoughtfully rooted in tradition, with touches that surprise and delight.
Sea Biscuit isn’t about rushing through breakfast—it’s a space where the morning unfolds naturally, whether you’re seated on the porch watching the day begin or tucked inside the cozy dining room. The charm lies in those small human moments: a friendly wink from the server, laughter spilling from a nearby table, or the quiet comfort of a well-made cup of coffee that perfectly steadies the start of your day.
While the cafe keeps things simple and genuine—reminding you to bring cash or just swing by their handy ATM—it’s this down-to-earth approach that makes it feel like a true local gem. Here, every dish carries a story and every visit a taste of the coastal South’s easygoing spirit.

My pup and I had brunch on the porch. The place was very busy, the food excellent (I had the crab omlette), and the service kind. It's cash only (which was fine by me!)... yawl, there's an ATM right outside for those unprepared!

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.

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.

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)

Loved this little place!! Great start to another beautiful day at the beach!! Don’t forget to bring CASH!! However, they are ready for you if you do forget, with a handy ATM machine out front!!!

Very unique dining experience. The biscuits are very large, fluffy and light. Sausage gravy nice flavor. Coffee very good. They only take cash but ATM in front of restaurant. Definitely will go back when in town.

We stayed on the island for CofC parents weekend and are so glad this little gem was walking distance from our hotel. The service was on point….friendly, attentive and very efficient. The food was spectacular (spinach omelette and the homemade granola) and the biscuits are a must have. I also got a side of bacon, but if I knew it was $6 just for the side, I probably wouldn’t have gotten it. This is a cash only place, so prepare ahead of time, but they do have an ATM in front, j.i.c. you didn’t bring any. Overall, this is an excellent place to go for breakfast or lunch. We will def be back!

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!
