Lowcountry Produce Market & Café

8AM Breakfast with friends. Walked in to the smell of country cured bacon! Great way to start the morning. I love this downtown location. So bright and cheerful. Our server was wonderful, food delicious and atmosphere is perfect.

Got the soup of the day, which was a tomato basil with half a chicken salad sandwich and the lobeca salad. The soup was chunky but also smooth with flecks of basil throughout. The soup was rich and zingy, full bodied with a deep tomato flavor which the basil cut through perfectly. The chicken salad sandwich was good, just your every day chicken salad between perfectly toasty and buttery bread. The lobeca salad was by far the star of the meal with multiple greens, rich creamy feta cheese, zingy pickled green beans, and a cranberry chutney paired perfectly with a lemon vinaigrette. This salad was creamy, tart, fresh, and with the addition of fried oysters there was a perfect amount of fat to balance the acidity from the lemon vinaigrette and the pickled green beans. Overall the food was out of this world. The service was great, it feels like a team is waiting on you and everyone there is very nice. It is a market as well so while you eat you get to admire the tapestries and towels they have hanging on the wall which are all for sale. Great place to eat at with great people taking care of you.

We are somewhat local, living about 30 minutes away. I had heard good things and we decided to give it a try. Lovely building, staff was busy and accommodating and we liked the vibe. We both ordered the salmon BLT and it was phenomenal. Large piece of well seasoned fish, cooked perfectly. Bacon was crispy, tomatoes delicious and the potato roll held up well to the messy ingredients! The only reason I am not giving a 5 stars is the menu stated the sandwich was $18 and the bill reflected $22. I know, not a ton of money but I didn’t like it. In fact, I recommended the sandwich to a gentleman who sat at the bar seating near us and I hope he felt it was worth the extra $4. The folks working were very busy and I knew it would delay other diners so I said nothing while there. Maybe I will call this week? Anyhow, the food was very good.

Great service, and an amazing breakfast! I ordered the breakfast biscuit sandwich and it was out of this world! Make sure you don’t skip out on the side of strawberry jam as you’ll definitely regret it.

We came here whilst visiting my Sister and Brother in law last month. My sister loves the fried green tomatoes as you guys catered for their wedding a couple of years ago, so she recommended them as a starter, they were delicious. My main was delicious as well.😋 The atmosphere and service was very good, plenty of staff and customers, that's always a good sign in my book. Parking was easy, plenty of space round they back. Outside eating as well. Thank you for a wonderful first time experience. ❤️

A fantastic historic building with a lot of natural light and personality. The food matches the atmosphere!

This was a super cute spot, very short walk to cute stores. Food was great and loved that they had gluten free options and bread.

On recommendations from our tour guide Janet we stopped for lunch at the Market & Cafe. It is a casual eatery for lunch as well as a market. Initially, we were didn’t feel welcome for stopping in for lunch. While our waitress and staff were nice, there was a lack of warmth. After ordering waitress was friendlier. Being from the South,I was disappointed in the welcome. The Cold Sandwich with their homemade Pimento Cheese is HEARTY. A lot of Pimento. Their Broccoli Raisin salad was good. The Oyster PoBoy was very good as was the pasta salad with cheese. Good lunch overall.

Amazing brunch place. We had the lowcountry breakfast and the veggie omelette for brunch today. We have been a few times before as well. The service was great, the food was prepared fast and it was hot when it came out. The food also was delicious. Well seasoned! The sweet tea is sweet. We couldn't ask for a better brunch. They make a lot if not all food from scratch there. They also sell their own sauces, soups, and other items! We ended up sitting outside and really enjoyed the open air. Amazing food, amazing service. Afterwards walk down the street to the park and go for a walk :)

I was starving and just wanted something quick to eat in the car. So I ordered a biscuit and a side of bacon. The fellow in the kitchen which has a large glass window picked up the items with his hands and placed them into a take away boxes. I paid over $10. and left. But I mentioned it to a staff member and she went to inform the manager. And then I thought about it...and thought about it some more and I got grossed out...whatever happened to kitchen utensils? Or gloves? Covered facial hair and regular hair? And yes they have an A rating but seriously it was gross. Not appropriate for kitchen staff members to not at least use a utensil. So I went back in spoke with the manager was thinking about just getting a refund but I was still hungry and had a four hour drive ahead of me. So in the end I took a new order. BIG mistake. The three slices of bacon were cold as was the biscuit. So no I would not recommend eating at this place to anyone. If I could give the place no stars I would.

I love the location, decor, and menu, and have enjoyed several good meals here. There's a nice variety of breakfast and lunch selections and the food is fresh and seasonal. I should have listened to all the reviewers, however, who were disappointed with the tomato pie, a popular southern dish that I happen to love. It was a sad, soggy mess that should be removed from the menu until it can be prepared and served properly.

I'll never again eat Eggs Benedict anywhere but here! This place is charming and the food is fantastic. It's easy access and the staff are friendly and knowledgable with intuitive suggestions. Try it often.

Friendly, casual atmosphere. Food was very good. Highlights included She Crab soup and French salad.

It was probably a good thing that I came in here only to look at what the market had to offer. No one asked if I wanted a table or order any food. I just wandered around completely ignored. After perusing and picking up a few items to take home, I had to go to the back to pay for the items and still wait for someone to take notice. Maybe the staff are more attentive to people who want to sit down to eat. Who knows.

Amazing place for brunch and lunch on a weekend. Great food and excellent service. Also...all kinds of great market products. Probably the best frozen sourdough loaf of bread I've ever tasted!! A must when in town.

We were last here during Covid and loved the restaurant. Today we came back and it lived up to our memories. Everything was fantastic. We had a wonderful waitress Paige, and the food was great. Don't miss the cheddar biscuits and grits. They are amazing. Loved my vegetable omelet - it was perfect! And my better half said even the bacon was some of the best she's had. Don't miss this for breakfast/brunch.

TLDR: Great Service, Good Food, Hightop chairs are for smaller butts. Came here for brunch on a Sunday, the wait was maybe 15min during a busy brunch time. Got seated at a high top table. My biggest complaint is the high top table chairs will be very uncomfortable if you have a cornbread eating dump truck of a butt. But otherwise no other complaints. Food: - She Crab Hush Puppies: 4/5 - Very Savory, do wish it had more crab in them. But the hushpuppy portion is done very well. - Eggs Benedict w/Bacon: 5/5 - Love the grit cakes used instead of the traditional english muffin. Very tasty dish. - Grilled Cheese: 5/5 - Simple grilled cheese done to perfection.

I am inclined to give low country produce a 4, but more for the ambiance and service than the food. This restaurant reminds me of older food stores, and butcher shops in Europe. Love the high ceilings and the tiled arches. We stopped in before the lunch rush and we're seat almost immediately. Our server came over without delay. I was ready to order, but my wife wasn't. Our server returned about 5 minutes later. I got the " Big Fat French Salad" with grilled chicken, and my wife opted for the sweet potato butter pancakes with pork sausage patties. The sausage the great, but sadly the pancakes were dry. I loved my salad. It was loaded with red potatoes, tomatoes, crunchy greens, a nice portion of chicken, and goat cheese throughout. The dressing was a vinaigrette, with a dijon mustard kick. The pancakes were a disappointment. I would suggest tweaking that recipe or or going to the tank for a different one. The restaurant was a nice experience. Staff is welcoming and friendly. We would return.

Visited here on Labor Day. Food was pretty good for your but not the best in my opinion. Staff was super nice and helpful about everything. There was a wait and judging by the list we would've been seated maybe by an hour after we got there so we opted for Togo. The restaurant was clean overall and reminded me of a cafe more than anything. The food took a wait but it wasn't bad plus it's nice scenery, and was understandable considering the wait to even sit. Food itself: I had the crab cake sandwich and hush puppies. I thought the sandwich was pretty good even without the house made tartar. I added the tartar and mayo bc the tartar alone still made it a tad dry for my liking. The hush puppies were more bread and I understand why but I would've liked more crab in the mix instead of hints of it. Also, didn't get the sauces for these so that was a bummer but I made it work with the other sauces. My husband had the donuts and cod po boy. Personally he liked the onion rings but wasn't a fan of the breading on them. The cod was good but he was hoping for more presentation wise and taste. The donuts were good the donut holes had more flavor than the donut themselves. Personally I liked the cinnamon sugar hole and the glazed donut. Bigger donuts are hard to keep from getting too bread like and I think they handled it well.

The Spanish Inquisition called and they want their chairs back. I've read about restaurants making seating uncomfortable to keep people moving but wow. The bar seats are 2" narrower than a child's high chair. The outdoor tables are 3-4" too short and also very small chairs. Otherwise, good breakfast, excellent coffee and staff.

This is one of the all around finest places in Beaufort, SC Wine shop Local market Artisan shop Aged olive oils Fresh bakery Brunch Outdoor seating Homemake cheddar biscuits Local artsy products Super sweet staff Yes that is right; this is a breakfast and lunch restaurant with an artisan market, wine shop and local produce market all in one. It's awesome.

Fried green tomatoes with pimento cheese and pepper jelly, po boy, and fried chicken sandwich was so good I could hardly touch my dinner later that night in Savannah. They had an italian hot sauxe called Firelli's that was chefs kiss.

Overall: A not-so-hidden gem for breakfast/brunch in Beaufort! The good: Great atmosphere - it's part restaurant, part "market", with lots of charm and character. The menu is well-varied and everything we've gotten there was great. Definitely get the donuts, they're handmade and come out hot. Sweet, fluffy, and light (but not too light), they are a great item to split. The biscuits and gravy and "The bowl" were all great. Biscuits were baked perfectly and we left with leftovers thanks to the hearty portion sizes. Service was friendly and the prices are reasonable. The not-so-good: We didn't have any issues, but apparently the line can get really long. Outdoor seating isn't as "fun" to sit in. Food/drink: 10/10 Atmosphere: 10/10 Service: 9/10

The ambience was something special. The old house was split up in different dining rooms. It was the main dining hall which I assume was the family/dining room and a couple other rooms shut out soon were old bedrooms. And the food did not disappoint. It was good.

Please do yourself a favor and buy a tomato pie from the cooler to take home from this market. I had a lovely breakfast here recently-- great toast, tasty jam, perfectly cooked eggs and great coffee-- but the surprise hit was the tomato pie we bought to take home. We almost didn't buy it which would have been a HUGE mistake. We didn't bake it until a few days later and we were just floored with how good it is. Savory, comforting, incredible. Enjoy!

An absolutely beautiful building! After we signed in (directed by a sign), none of the staff acknowledged us. We didn't even get, "someone will be with you soon"! After waiting approximately fifteen minutes, my wife asked a staff member if there was anything else that we needed to do. She told us that someone would seat us soon. We were taken care of by Nikki who was wonderful and very attentive. With all of the great reviews in Garden and Gun, and Oprah, we expected to be blown away by the food. I had the buttermilk fried chicken sandwich and my wife had a spinach salad. I would rather have Bojangles or Chick-fil-A. At least there it's hot and fast. My sandwich was dry and not hot. The spinach salad could have been a bag-o- salad from Walmart. The Bloody Mary was so-so and my wife's mimosa was tepid. We were expecting a Four Star meal. Instead, we ended up with a Four Star check and a fast food meal. Thanks again Nikki, you took great care of us!! We will not be back.

I had lunch on a Tuesday, and there was a waitlist. I ended up waiting a bit over 30 min. That being said, the food was delicious! My server was very attentive, and it is such a cute place! I am just visiting, and I'll absolutely be back. Definitely worth the wait. Highly recommend it

Okay so why didn't I come to this place sooner?? Idk!!! It's UNREAL. The eggs Benedict was to die for. Probably one of the best I've ever had in my life. The steak and eggs was cooked to perfection, however it had our least favorite part of the entire meal which was the biscuit that had ZERO flavor/salt, but that was one small L that was taken for the overall meal. We finished with blueberry pancakes which was so perfect because it tasted like cake. I could eat these pancakes everyday and never grow tired of them. I highly recommend this place to everyone looking for a great breakfast... I can not wait to go back and try the brunch!!

This place has cute market inside so you can look around or shop while you wait for your table. We came for early lunch and the wait was pretty long. I like the plate that they used at this restaurant. It made the food presentation looks vibrant and fun. The food were amazing and fresh. The glazed doughnut taste exactly like kripy kreeme doughnut and it was so good. The egg salad sandwich was amazing and the crispy fries pair so well with my sandwich. My sils and Mil said their food were so good and their coffee was warm and nice while we were waiting for our meals. You really need to eat at this restaurant! Truly recommend this place.

We went to the Beaufort store looking for takeaway options and there weren't many. Perhaps we just came too late in the afternoon. We did not purchase anything, so maybe a review isn't fair. I was surprised at how small the place was and had a hard time thinking of it as a cafe when I only saw a few tables. After reading about it online, I assumed it was a bigger operation with more offerings. Perhaps the other stores are larger.

Server made good recommendations, we ordered the blueberry pancake stack with link sausages and the eggs Benedict on grits cakes. Awesome all around. Going back before we leave Beaufort, SC, for sure. Casual and comfortable, within walking distance of the City Marina.

Wonderfully cool building. Has nice gift items and the food is always good if a bit light on the portions. Nice staff and dependable hours.

This place was far less than I expected. Everything was very pricey and no one ever asked if we were interested in being seated of if there was anything they could help with. Employees were present, they just never engaged. We finally just left. Kind of bummed because we drove out of our way to go here.

Best breakfast in Beaufort!! Although they don't mention it, Best Coffee in town! They use really good ingredients. Great service. Try the homemade donuts made to order.

Such a wonderful find! I had a chicken sandwich and fries, this is probably one of the best sandwiches I have had in years! It was so much fun to browse the canned products and the baskets, the seating area looked comfortable. My server was friendly and very knowledgeable about the menu items and ingredients. A must stop!

Drove from Charleston to Beaufort for brunch and the fried green tomatoes and pimento cheese and pepper jam was amazing. Recommend highly

They have a great farm to table menu. I had their eggs benedict and ordered their amazing glazed freshly made donuts. The food was delicious and the staff was very friendly. The place was an d school house and they decorated it well and made use of the tall arch windows. We went before the lunch hour rush and were able to get seating right away. I would go back in a heartbeat.

Seriously poor service. It took over a half an hour to be seated even though there were empty tables. The waiter came over after 15 minutes to let us know he'd seat us soon. There were no other people waiting at that time. Perhaps they are short on staff? We were with new friends, and one had a food allergy which she tried to explain so that Isaiah could help her order. He was extremely dismissive of her and what she was trying to order. It bordered on rude and abrasive. Then, it took forty five plus minutes after we ordered for food to be delivered. The waiter let us know he didn't delay in putting our order into the kitchen. My husbands eggs with ricotta were ice cold, as was his toast. My egg white vegetable omelette came out without cheese, and made with whole eggs. Needless to say, there are serious staff and kitchen issues here. My husband did eat his eggs, and guess what? He's now having some go/stomach issues. We won't be back!!!

I've been here twice and now feel like I can give an accurate review. Excellent food and service, too to bottom. The yeast donuts are fabulous, but be aware that if you have an allergy to shrimp (like my child) the donuts are friend in the same basket. Greatly appreciate the attentive for sharing this detail with us. The Traveler's Breakfast is delicious. If you like avocado toast, excellent bacon and eggs, this is for you. I've gotten their bloody twice, and it was delicious twice. Each person in our party of 7 was pleased.

Looking for a great place for brunch? This is the stop to make! Our family of 4 did and are glad about it! Seating is a little limited and the decor/themeing is spot on for the lowcountry area. They even have a nice selection of treasures to take home with you. If you can't decide what to get, go with the lowcountry breakfast! It was awesome and a great choice for us! You also can't go wrong with the made to order doughnuts.

In all honesty the food is overpriced it's bland no seasoning whatsoever they charge for every single small thing doesn't matter what they will charge you and on top of that the portions are very small I definitely wouldn't recommend eating here if you grew up eating food with seasoning instead of just salt and pepper nothing but complete fuckin garbage at this place

They were busy with long waits and unbussed tables. I saw a couple of people walk out while we waited about 20 mins. They had a sign up sheet for everyone to check in. The next party waiting to be seated was a hiking out party of 9/10 that has signed in 25 mins before I did. Menu looked great but it's Mother's Day weekend and they really need to be staffed better to accommodate the people wandering around here enjoying the beautiful day.

Yummy food! We did a mix of the donuts and they are amazing! Our waitress wasn't great but the food and atmosphere was great! You do have to physically sign in on pen and paper.

Loved having brunch here. The food was delicious and I really liked the ability to shop a little while waiting for a table. Our service was great. Will definitely be back.

Absolutely delicious!!! The shrimp and grits had a fabulous tomato cream sauce and the grits were perfect! Paired with the cheddar biscuit it was too much food for just one person!! The shrimp were cooked perfectly and not chewy or tough. This is definitely a gem in Beaufort!

Pretty much a donut review haha. All I know is that I heard the donuts were amazing. "Best in town" people said. Tasted like Bob Evans rolls that were glazed and I believe 4 of them were around $12. When they said that price over the phone for 4 DONUTS I almost hung up on her but figured I'd give it a shot. For that price and the size of the donuts, I'd rather have little Debbie. Every time I have gone to try their breakfast/lunch it is very busy. I'm a hyper active person and there isn't anywhere to really wait or sit, so if you can't stand in one place like me, be prepared to walk aimlessly around the restaurant while people look at you weird. Hahaha. But my wife and I stood and paced around with our 10 month old for 30 minutes before leaving. Maybe one day we'll give it at try. Maybe...

Today our group attempted to share breakfast at this restaurant. When we arrived, we signed in as the sign indicated we should and we were told we were next. We waited over half an hour in the restaurant, where there is no space to sit or stand without being in the way of the staff. After waiting this time, we approached the counter and asked if it would be possible to order to take out instead of waiting for a table. At that time, we were abruptly told that it would be 35 minutes for them to prepare a takeout order. At this point, it was clear to us that they were not interested in serving us simply because we were in a large group. At which point, they then increased the amount of time they anticipated to prepare a takeout order to 45 minutes to an hour. The staff member at the counter was very abrupt and rude. At this point, we sought another restaurant, and found a great place that readily accommodated our large group in a pleasant manner. This location looked interesting and had beautiful paintings and all kinds of homemade canned goods for sale. It might be good for a couple, but if you are looking for a nice place to have breakfast with a group, this is definitely not it.

We went there for a southern style breakfast and got exactly that. Super satisfying with friendly service.

This. Made. Our. Trip. First stop we made into Beaufort was here. I got the avocado toast and my boyfriend got the big burger. The burger had a pepper jelly spread onto the bun that we ended up actually purchasing from inside. This started our sweet romantic staycation off on the right foot. The food was awesome, (get your avocado toast with an egg if that's your jam!), but it was also the coolest place to walk around and get a taste of the lowcountry. Went back twice and will be back again soon!!

Recommended. This is a pre-COVID review. Take a walk around picturesque and historic downtown Beaufort, South Carolina, and you're bound to run into the Low Country Produce Market & Cafe. You can't miss it -- it's an old Federal building -- the former U.S. Post Office. This place not a full-scale food market. It's a soup and sandwich shop, and a very good one at that, smack-dab in the heart of town, not far from the Harbor River waterfront and the adjoining Woods Memorial Bridge (highway 21) spanning the river. It's a somewhat majestic, if not slightly incongruous place, for a café. But once you step inside, you'll grasp the faux 1950's era country store like atmosphere and find yourself right at home, just like some you may remember back in the day. A green and white color scheme abounds throughout, applied as if this building is again repurposed for an industrial use. Display racks present local seller's products -- a nice touch for the traveler. And this place is squeaky-clean -- a suitable touch given the open spaces and color scheme. And yes, you can tell this is a former U.S. Post Office. The vault door is prominent in the dining area! The menu cites she crab soup as a daily appetizer -- a must for a seacoast town -- and an optional soup the day. Depression soup (potato) is one of our favorites, and thus, our choice. Salads are fresh and tasty. Our choices: Steak and the classic salad. We've tried the BLT and Po'boy sandwiches during previous visits and they were scrumptious. When you visit a place like this, you just have to try the desserts. Key lime and a chocolate Graham cracker like pie were our choices -- also very good. Go and enjoy!

Breakfast isn't what it used to be. I don't know what the owners have done to this place since I last reviewed it 7 years ago when it was a 5 star place. It's been a poorer experience for several years. I come to Beaufort several times a year to visit family and every time I come here hoping to find improved flavors. Sadly, it's the same each time. Biscuits are good if you like the taste of shortening. Grits need a healthy dose of salt (and I don't even like adding salt to food) as do the potatoes. Eggs...bland. The good: Homemade doughnuts Sausage, link or patty Pecan raisin toast Fresh made jelly I think the quality of the food is high but the preparation is just repeatedly poor on several of the menu items.

I really wanted to like this place in my hometown. I ordered a Cobb salad and received a plate of greens with about 5 pieces (small!) of chicken, 2 cherry tomatoes, 2 pieces of bacon, 3 very thinly sliced pieces of avocado. Oh yeah, 2 boiled eggs. Add tea and you are out $20. TWENTY DOLLARS! Believe me, I will be at Chick Fil A next time for a delicious Cobb salad! Enjoy taking the tourons' money! I will not be back! I liked it better when I went to that building to mail letters. The building once known as the Beaufort Post Office. Now, a place for tourons to eat as they gawk at the town. My server was very nice. I'm sure she does not usually receive tips as generous as mine. It's not her fault.

The service and food were perfection! As a MN native, I had a great taste of southern food and hospitality.

I really enjoyed the atmosphere of this restaurant! Feels like your eating in some sort of a train station. They have tons of local products for sale including soups and snacks. A lot of their stuff is made in house and sold. I got the BLT sandwich, which was delicious. My only complaint is they seemed a little understaffed, so our sweet waitress didn't offer me a refill until I was done with my food.

Excellent food and a good variety for breakfast and lunch. Good value for the price. No problems being waited on and the server was attentive. This building has a lot of history and offers local artists to display crafts and artwork. Interesting venue.

Server was one of the worst ever, (Katie F. ). Clearly needs training,took a long time to get our food, wasn't that great, my wife had spinach salad and didn't even eat it, for 12.75 really? They also charge a transaction fee to use your debit card. Not worth your time or money, no stars

Great omelets and biscuits. Donuts good but not worth the price. Very friendly service

Long wait. Unbussed tables. Poor management of restaurant tables do not recommend. Never made it to the food.
