Innovative cuisine, true Southern hospitality — and a piece of Bluffton history.

For more than a decade, The Cottage Café has been delighting both locals and visitors to the area with a true Southern dining experience. With both indoor dining in a cozy cottage setting and outdoor dining on the porch in the art-rich historic district, The Cottage Café, Bakery & Tea Room is like no other restaurant in the Lowcountry – expertly crafting traditional Southern favorites, to some new twists on Southern cooking.
Through the years, The Cottage Café has been honored with numerous local and national culinary awards – including being named one of South Carolina’s “10 Best” Shrimp & Grits in the national USA TODAY 10Best Readers’ Choice Awards, and awarded with numerous prestigious national “Good Food Awards.
