Swamp Rabbit Cafe and Grocery

Swamp Rabbit Café & Grocery is easily one of the best spots in Greenville. The place has such a chill, local vibe — it feels like a small community where everyone’s just enjoying good food, good coffee, and good energy. There’s a pumpkin patch, a kids’ park, and plenty of outdoor seating, which makes it perfect for families or just hanging out with friends. The grocery section is next level fresh meats, handmade pasta, salads, pastries, local produce, and even a liquor section. Everything is organic, fresh, and locally sourced, and you can tell the quality in every detail. What I really like is how they’ve separated the coffee area from the grocery. Even though there’s usually a long line for the grocery side, if you just want to grab a coffee and relax, you can head straight to the café section it’s way more chill and quick. The service is great, everyone’s friendly, and the whole atmosphere just feels right. Everything was perfect from the drinks to the vibe. This place truly deserves way more recognition. Definitely a 10/10 and a must-visit in Greenville.

Such a great local spot with so much to offer — food, coffee, smoothies, and more! We tried the apple caramel coffee with cold foam, it was a nice coffee overall, though I didn’t get much of the apple or caramel flavor I was expecting. Their stecca bread was absolutely amazing (and if it’s your first time, you get a free one!). We brought it home and made the best grilled cheese sandwiches. The chocolate chess pie was the star of the day — rich chocolate flavor, perfect texture, and the most delicious crust. We also tried their apple cider, which was so refreshing after a walk back from the park. Highly recommend this awesome spot — great food, great service, and a really welcoming atmosphere!

Love love love!! Everything here is so fresh and delicious. The Clemson Turkey Cobb Salad is something I get often. And the kids love playing with all the random toys in the fenced area 💕

This place is epic! First of all, it gets busy so be prepared! Great for families and dogs and easy access to the trails if you’re on swamp rabbit. They have a coffee shop that also serves beer and wine, a grocery store with epic food and amazing brekkie sammie. Staff is super friendly and there is tons of outdoor seating.

I went here for a quick stroll on the trail with my family. We decided afterwards to grab some coffee and then some food as well for lunch. First of all the coffee I had was probably one of the worst cups of coffee I’ve ever tasted. I got the salted maple latte… I wasn’t expecting the salted part in the name to be the only thing I was going to be able to taste. The coffee tasted more like a warm cup of ocean water. I ended up throwing away the coffee cause it was too much to drink. We then walked around for a bit more and decided to get some lunch as well. Me and my wife decided to share the Reuben sandwich. The best part about the whole sandwich was the bread. There was practically no meat on the sandwich at all, and the meat that was on there was ALL FAT. it was one big, slimy, chewy pile of fat. When I took apart the sandwich I was actually shocked to see what was on there and decided to take a picture of it. Needless to say, we ended up not finishing the sandwich either. So after having spent 13 dollars on two cups of coffee that tasted like salt water and throwing those away, to then spending 16 DOLLARS!!! On a single sandwich (that came with no sides by the way…) that I ended up throwing away as well!! Me and my family were not impressed to say the least. We enjoyed the trail but will definitely not be back for any of the food options 🤦‍♂️

Today, was a great October afternoon to have lunch at Swamp Rabbit Cafe & Grocery. I have always had a great time here and plan on coming back every chance I get. Let’s eat & drink!!

Swamp Rabbit Café and Grocery is an absolute gem. The food is fresh, creative, and made with high-quality local ingredients — you can truly taste the difference. Everything we tried was delicious, and the baked goods alone are worth the visit. The atmosphere is laid-back and welcoming, with a great mix of café, market, and community space. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and happy to make recommendations. I also love the grocery side of the store, which features a great selection of local products, meats, produce, and specialty items. Whether you’re stopping in for breakfast, lunch, coffee, or to pick up unique local groceries, Swamp Rabbit Café and Grocery is a must-visit. Highly recommend!

Been here to take sandwiches to go a couple times- love the atmosphere and the selection in the grocery store. My only complaint is that the chicken salad sandwich has come entirely without chicken salad twice now. I understand things can run out, but if you’re charging $13 for a sandwich there should be some attempt to find an alternative. Update: Thank you for reaching out and making things right! I truly appreciate it and hope to enjoy your chicken salad properly soon!

Ate my whole loaf of Stecca bread without meaning to, the salt just takes that to another level. Wish my stay lasted longer so I could try ramen Tuesday or s'mores Friday, but I'm sure they're phenomenal. Also they sold me, a 20 year old, NAs without asking for my id. Take notes Trader Joe's, that's how it's done

This spot came highly recommend and boy, it didn't disappoint. The stecca bread was delicious and the eggs were lite and fluffy. I also loved the grocery market, stocked up with local goods, produce and swag. Must return Friday/Saturday for a cinnamon roll. Such a cute spot! Plenty of seating in and outdoors and there's a walking path running adjacent as well.

Quintessential GVL establishment. Plenty of ready to go snacks to take on our hike. I've never seen pochaga on a menu before and it did not disappoint . Stecca bread was so good! Sir Kensington condiments available for cafe items, amazed Everyone was so friendly, kind, and inviting. Must stop by if in GVL

The Swamp Rabbit Cafe is so cute! They have a nice outdoor area, or indoor seating and it's right next to the big trail so you can walk afterwards! They also offer fresh local produce and bread for reasonable costs. My friend ordered the Cob salad which looked great and I had the turkey pesto. The bread was phenomenal and blew me away. I wish there was a little bit more pesto but it was seriously so good and fresh. They also have a coffee section. I ordered a cappuccino that was really good. Great service and great food!

Sometimes when life is not going smoothly, you create your own joy. I took a spontaneous trip to Greenville to get away from busy Atlanta, and Swamp Rabbit Grocery was my first stop. I was glad to pull into an empty parking space just steps away from the playground and was happy to feel the sunshine on this winter day. A few joggers and bikers passed by on the trail, and there was a steady but fast moving line of people and some doggies in the check out 'tent' outside. There was a nice variety of items in the store including seasonal products and gifts which made for a fun browsing experience! I picked up a hot toddy mix, pecan snowball cookies, flavored popcorn and more. If I wasn't traveling, I would've picked up some cheeses and meats. As a first timer, I was also given a complimentary loaf of their signature stecca bread. It's great to know that this business buys from 300+ local farmers and food makers. I can't wait to come back (with a cooler) to ship and to enjoy a cozy drink and a grilled cheese sandwich.

Came here for brunch and loved it. There are a lot of sandwiches, drinks, and other items to choose from. The whole place is well organized and the staff was very friendly. I ordered a tofu banh mi and a strawberry parfait, and they were great. Very delicious and decent size. There's a lot of seating outside right by the trail, and as a bonus you can wonder around their grocery store! Highly recommend.

Such a cute little spot. Love the vibe. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming. I shopped a little at their grocery area and got a few local items. Their drinks are also awesome especially the strawberry lemonade!

Are you looking for a healthy place that also functions as a grocery store? Look no further!! Swamp Rabbit Cafe and Grocery offers local produce, meat, and other provisions. In addition to functioning as a grocery store, they also have a cafe. The cafe offers yummy sandwiches and some of which are served on their stecca bread (which is made daily in house). During my most recent visit I enjoyed the turkey pesto sandwich and an ice latte with oat milk. The sandwich was savory, fresh, and left me feeling light. The best part about this cafe is its proximity to the swamp rabbit trial- when you're done with your workout make sure to stop by this joint.

This is the best local cafe and grocery!! Just check it out and bring your bikes! The grocery is very affordable and clean, the store is always clean and friendly.

Conveniently located off the Swamp Rabbit Trail. We picked up snacks, used the restrooms and bought local peaches, which were beyond delicious. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Lots of shade to get out of the sweltering July sun.

Fantastic place in a great spot right by the bike path. Food was delicious and fresh. Service was friendly and prompt. Will def be back when in Greenville!!!

Got a Stecca at the market on Saturday, still eating it on Sunday. I can't put it down! Recommend!

Excellent sandwiches, great local market, and I love that there's a coffee shop there. A great stop along the trail. What a gem!

Shocked I haven't reviewed this place yet considering I come far too often. Great food, groceries, and of course the stecca bread is top notch. Love to come here, grab a coffee, and read a book. Just the best

This is a local grocery store that also offers to go meals - like salads and sandwiches! The grocery store has all the necessities and they also support local businesses by giving them a space to share samples with visitors! We ordered the sandwiches and I got the Turkey pesto sandwich! The sandwiches are pretty cheap (less than $10) and the bread is delicious - I love the courser salt they used for the bread!

That bread though- it's worth driving long distances and putting up with crowds to check out. Its displayed in logo paper bags in a pile- I posted a pic

Great place to stop by for a sandwich and coffee! The stecca bread is absolutely delicious. They have plenty of parking and tables outside to sit and eat. There's a little park for children as well. The grocery store is packed with goodies. The staff are very friendly and patient!

This place is right out of a Hallmark movie! Unique grocery with fresh baked goods (mmmmm, that brownie!) and Sammie's. The employees are so helpful and friendly. Plus, plenty of outdoor seating and a play area for the littles!

I highly recommend this store, I tried the Apple Chai-Der and it was one of the best things i've ever had. I also purchased some Solely Pineapple strips, I love their selection of Beverages, and will come back soon

Swamp Rabbit is a place my family and I stopped by on the way to Greenville and what a treasure this place is!! There is a grocery store where you can find locally made items and also a cafe and sandwich shop! I got the Gouda Gobbler sandwich on a croissant and I think it just might be my favorite sandwich I've ever eaten. It has turkey and apple chutney on it and WOW. The environment is also super cute and there is an indoor area as well as outdoor for seating. Very pet friendly so I was able to bring my dogs to have lunch with me. Can't wait to visit again!

This is a strange, unconventional business model. When I pulled up into their limited parking, the first thing I saw was a takeout window. What would you get at that window? How would you order it? A canopy further back housed some checkout registers. But what if you wanted to buy groceries? Well, the grocery store was further behind that, and there's no separate cashier. You have to go into the store, buy any groceries you want, come outside, stand in line, order any fresh food or drinks, pay, and then go to the pickup window. I mean, at the end of the day it worked fine but it took some figuring out. The store aspect had minimal produce and a significant number of niche specialty foods. I didn't find every single local item that I thought to look for, but I give them credit for having interesting things (time to try a Spicewalla chai!). The cafe had a small but vegetarian-friendly menu. Given my general tendency towards wanting to eat everything in sight, I decided this was the time to go for a kale salad. The salad contained a large amount of actual kale, a light dressing, and a few onions, seeds, and croutons. It had just enough flavor balance to convince me to wolf down all that slightly tough kale, but it was probably a good decision, health-wise. If I lived locally, I wouldn't buy everything here, but I'm sure I'd stop in regularly.

This place had the best food we ate in Greenville! The turkey pesto was served hot and it had so much flavor. The pesto was delicious. The blueberry scones were wonderful. Everything that our group ordered was A+++++. Great place to hang out if you can get a table in the shade too. Definitely will go back!!

Rode our bikes on the Swamp Rabbit trail over to Swamp Rabbit Cafe to grab a bite to eat and was not disappointed! There was plenty of space to park your bike and sit outside to eat (also super kid and dog friendly with a whole play area just for kids!). Only complaint was that when we were there, there wasn't seating inside anywhere with air conditioning that is much needed after biking in the heat - you order outside (same place where you check out with your groceries) and pick up your food outside as well. I ordered the turkey pesto sandwich and the serving size was huge!!! The pesto was the star of the show *chef's kiss* and overall, definitely worth the money since all the ingredients tasted super fresh. It did take a little while to get our food, but it was pretty busy when we visited, so that's to be expected. Would absolutely go back.

Bread is amazing. Such a cute spot. Peach and turkey sandwich was so good. Bread is a reason alone to come.

What a great spot! We came here for a late lunch on a Saturday, and it was packed! This place is great. Plenty of parking and seating, and the food is great. They have a small grocery store with lots of local goods and a line where you can order made-to-order breakfast and lunch sandwiches, salads, smoothies, and baked goods. I had the turkey sandwich, and it was phenomenal. The bread made it... it was fresh and soft with flaky sea salt. So good. Would definitely recommend for a great place to eat lunch and hang out outside!

This place is amazing! Food was so fresh and delicious. I ordered the turkey pesto sandwich (on fresh bread), with a side of potato salad. Staff was super pleasant. Love the grocery store and all of the fresh veggies! As well as all the goodies I bought for gifts! Will be back!

Great place along the trail to get amazing local produce, smoothies, sandwiches, and desserts. We got the stecca bread and loved it(a bit too salty, but you can brush the salt on top off. We will be going back for breakfast and more desserts! Parking is limited so park further away and walk.

Much busier than I expected. Fastest cashiers in South Carolina. Nice parking. Am vxv had vvv

Excellent location for food, drinks and groceries. It can be busy and parking can be issue. Highly recommend

I really like this place! I want to visit when the weather is nicer for sure. They actually had a vegan Reuben sandwich! I haven't had a Reuben since I gave up meat several years ago. It was delicious and the bread that everyone brags about is really great!

Love this place so much. Speciality items galore. The chez pie is to die for. vegetables from local farms. So much more!

While visiting Greenville, we wanted something different and not so touristy. Well, swamp rabbit cafe is a hidden gem. Lots of local and regional source items from bread, jams, cookies, wine, produce, pasta, and so much more. Plus, you get free bread as a first-time visitor! And there are samples of the most delicious apple crumb pie. There is a cafe with outdoor seating. What's not to love! Everyone was super friendly and helpful. We will definitely stop back by before leaving the area to take home some goodies from the place. My suggestion is to take a drive off the beaten path and explore this place.

I've had the Swamp Rabbit Cafe and Grocery book marked on Yelp for several years. Every year I have said I was going to visit during my holiday vacation. I finally made my visit today. They have it nicely decorated for the holidays and there's even a mail box for letters to Santa. The store reminded me a little of the Happy Cow Creamery and they carry Happy Cow products. It had fresh, organic and local items. Many varieties of oranges, apples, cheeses, Jeni's Ice cream, alcohol beverages, fresh baked cookies. Locally made candles, soaps and lotions. There's is also a cafe serving a variety of baked goods, smoothies, and specialty sandwiches. For first time visitors you get a free freshly baked baguette. For a fun and enjoyable shopping spree, stop by the Swamp Rabbit Cafe and Grocery Store.

First time here today, we decided to have lunch here at Swamp Rabbit Cafe. The food was delicious, we had gotten turkey & cheese sub, the veggie slaw & hummus sandwich, the tomato bacon avocado salad..along with Princess Peach Smoothie, Rosemary Peach Smoothie, PBCB smoothie. There was a long wait for food but it went by quickly. They also have a bike rental place and a grocery store. We sat outside to eat our lunch it was a nice sunny day. It was a great way to celebrate Labor Day!! The place was nice , clean, the staff was nice and friendly! If you haven't been you need to go! They just celebrated 10 years.....I can't wait to go again.

Such a great little spot with so much character! It clearly is a popular spot on the weekends, good luck finding parking in their lot or anywhere nearby! The store is super cute with lots of locally made and sourced items. Even a gift shop! Outside has sandwiches, bakery items, coffee and beer. Tons and tons of seating outdoors and lots of bikers everywhere since the bike path is right there. Ordered the pumpkin latte and the GF oatmeal peanut butter cookie - both were good and all homemade without commercial sweeteners etc. Super great spot, it's a must try if in the area!

This place is a gem! We are huge fans...we stop by every time we are in town, eat lunch there every day when in town, stock up on bread (stucca) to take home, have told everyone we know and have the t-shirt lol. Ok so maybe we are bordering on groupie. Everything is fabulous here, the food, the people, the location. Just go! And don't forget to get some bread

Local meat and produce, great baked goods, and overall good selection of grocery items. Love that they have raw milk!!

I adore this place! A local friend recommended it when i came to town for a girls trip & we never made it....but i've now been able to stop here for lunch 2x while traveling through GVL. Their sandwiches are fabulous....and the stecca bread? AMAZING! Make sure to buy a loaf to take home. Soft inside, crunch on the outside with a layer of crunchy salt. The baked goods are no joke - apple hand pies, ham & cheese stuffed croissant, cookies & scones. I love the vibe here & everyone is super friendly & helpful. The grocery store has great fresh produce, wide variety of fun canned drinks (sodas & beer), regional products & grocery basics. I look forward to coming back! Next time i should bike the swamp rabbit trail that runs alongside it so i can burn off some of what i eat!

This place is overrated. Love the idea and concept but food was just okay. Sandwich was dry, salad lacked flavor. And the employees at the register need to be trained better and we're not friendly at all. I asked to add avocado to my salad and got avocado spread instead. Asked to add goat cheese to my salad and was told I could not do that even though they do offer goat cheese on their berry salad. To top it off cashier was rude about it. The grocery store itself has good selections, good pastries. Their cafe needs some improvement.

This is the best place in Greenville. The food is so amazing and the atmosphere is so good too

Almost too cool for words. Super fun place with good food, outdoor and indoor seating right along the bike trail of the same name with a cool little grocery store and lots and lots of charm and nice people. A must-go in Greenville.

Great food! Fast service! Unique setting. Definitely worth checking it out. Definitely would recommend 100%

A great idea in a perfect location. The store/restaurant is located on the Swamp Rabbit Trail and offers something for everyone. The food options in the store and restaurant are delicious. They have a bicycle rack and parking lot available for whatever means of transportation you use to get there. The outdoor seating is wonderful with multiple seating options available for a single person to a large group. A play area for the kids is maintained nicely and can keep them busy while you are able to relax. Outside you will find an order area for the restaurant and multiple delicious options (vegan options are available). Inside you have a many option for meats, produce, and other options, many which are locally sourced The food is delicious. The atmosphere is great. If you have some free time to stop by you will not be disappointed.

Really unique place with great atmosphere and amazing staff that are always friendly. Food has never disappointed. With there use of fresh local Ingredients and simple execution, they stand out among the towns many restaurants. Always have to get an extra loaf of the Stecca bread when we go, it's yeasty and amazing. This place is truly an amazing addition to the upstate.

We stopped here for lunch while biking on the Swamp Rabbit Trail. The menu is breakfast/lunch fare from smoothies to sandwiches to salads, including a wide selection of vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options. I ordered the tofu banh mi salad - the tofu was flavorful and the sambal oelek dressing had just the right level of heat. There is plenty of outdoor seating, although only a few of the tables are shaded. Will definitely be coming back next time I am in Greenville.

Lots of "craft' options for lunch. Great place to sit and rest from the trail or to just sit and have an enjoyable time with family or friends. It's a little pricey, but the sandwiches we had were very good.

The Turkish pastries were amazing. Ambiance is very warm and inviting. I wish the game cabinet was better kept but we were able to find one to play that still had pieces. Staff was very friendly and the bathrooms were clean. Came here without our kids but definitely a kid-friendly spot.

The food is always fresh and the staff is very friendly. I truly enjoyed it. Especially the Egg and Sausage Sandwich. It's incredible. I highly recommend it.

A local business that carries a true, tangible feeling of community, The Swamp Rabbit Cafe is somewhat of a rare find these days. From its location along the beloved Swamp Rabbit Trail, to local produce/goods and food items made with locally sourced ingredients, it's evident this place is rooted in the Greenville community. I loved visiting during fall to check out all of the fun and quirky decorations, complete with skeletons in all sorts of hilarious circumstances and pumpkins galore. I sipped on a vanilla almond milk latte while exploring--the perfect treat to warm me up on a chilly fall day. I can't wait to see what amazing decorations and food offerings pop up for Christmas!
