Awesome service and great food!! These guys work as a team and take care of everyone. The burger was really good and it was a nice size beef patty which is unusual in my experience. My husband had the fried chicken sandwich and I normally would have tried but it was on rye and that’s a hard pass for me. My best friend had a club sandwich which was huge, with potato salad of which was too peppered in my opinion. Her boyfriend had a French dip with chicken but it wasn’t a classic French dip, it was different but he liked it enough. We got 2 chocolate silk pie slices to share and I was the only one that didn’t care for it, it was way to rich and sweet for me. All and all it was delicious and although the tables were kind of too close together it was still a nice visit.

I love to leave glowing reviews on locally owned restaurants, and when we walked in, I really thought that’s what I’d be doing. The yard and restaurant are absolutely precious, and the food tastes good. However, there’s about 1/2 to 1/4 as much food as there ought to be. I understand shrinkflation, but I’d gladly have paid a little more to have enough food not to leave hungry.

I got the soup and salad. The corn chowder and Caesar salad were very good. Would love to have had more!

My husband had a Reuben sandwich with chips. The sandwich was perfect, he just would have loved more chips.

If you’re not very hungry, both the indoor and outdoor seating is adorable, the staff is very friendly, and the prices aren’t bad at all.

OHHHHHH MYYYYYYYYY GOODNESS TRY THIS!!!! My son and I decided to get a little breakfast this morning and try someplace new and Google Maps took us here…and I’m so glad they did. There is indoor and outdoor seating, small business, really quick service but not rushed, and the food was so delicious. The gravy on my biscuits and gravy tasted just like homemade gravy my grandma made growing up. My son got a breakfast burrito and the tortillas were fresh not the nasty store bought kind. Pricing was perfect now we’re gonna buy some muffins and cookies on the way out lol.

We found this hidden gem in Daphne, Al. We were pleasantly surprised- my husband had their quiche special(conecuh sausage, green pepper, onions& cheddar cheese) served with your choice of bread. (Banana nut, blueberry, sourdough, wheat, rye, French toast, plain or biscuits) unreal!!!! And came with an assortment of fresh fruit!!!! He said was delicious!!!!!
I had the ham, cheese & mushroom omelette and I opted for the blueberry bread, came with grits and fresh fruit. I also had their special watermelon tea (Loved it!!!). We had our choice of eating inside or outside! We opted for inside- was cozy and quaint! Outside was well laid out with plenty of tables w/umbrellas and lots of shade – Also dog friendly!!!! Big plus!!!!! They even had a game area set up so people could participate. This restaurant also has a BYOB feature whereas you can bring your own alcoholic beverage!!!!! We totally loved it and will come back whenever we are near here again!! Food was exceptionally good, service was spot on and the atmosphere was- soooo cute!!!! It’s actually in an older house. Ohhhhhhh I forgot to mention they also have a separate area for ice cream & to go orders with their own area set up greeted by their pirate in waiting!!!!!! Cute, cute!!! Love, love, lived this little place!!!!! Can’t wait to go back!! B

Having previously visited this restaurant for breakfast and brunch, we were thoroughly impressed, which led us to bring our group of six for lunch following a dance recital. It certainly did not disappoint.

• Appetizers: We kicked off our meal with a side salad and a cup of the day’s special soup—a delightful cream of chicken with vegetables—both of which were excellent choices.
• Main Courses: Our selections for the main course included a delightful assortment:
◦ A kid’s meal featuring a peanut butter and jelly sandwich with fruit
◦ A Mystic Reuben served with chips
◦ Two Cafe Burgers—one on a croissant with bacon and the other on a plain bun
◦ The Tybee Island Club accompanied by potato salad
◦ Today’s special quiche served with fruit
◦ Two side orders of crab cakes
All of our choices were prepared to order, fresh, flavorful, and well-received. The burgers were hand-patted, and the crab cakes were truly the best we’ve ever tasted.

Before departing, we couldn’t resist picking up a few of their “to go” bakery items, including several massive chocolate chip cookies, two red velvet muffins, two blueberry muffins, and more. We ended up sampling these treats before leaving, and they were moist and fresh. It’s worth noting that we didn’t “need” any additional items, as the portions were generous and most of our meals remained unfinished, but they looked too tempting to pass up.

Service

During both visits, we encountered experienced staff who excelled at managing the needs of a large group, multiple tables, greeting customers, and demonstrating impressive knowledge about their menus and offerings. Our cups were consistently filled, and extra napkins, sauces, and other essentials were generously provided. We felt the staff did an excellent job of striking a balance between being attentive and not hovering over us.

Atmosphere

The restaurant is situated in a historic house, resulting in a unique layout. Guests can enjoy outdoor dining under umbrellas or on the porch, creating a truly relaxing ambiance. Yard games are available at no cost, providing entertainment for both the young and the young at heart. Inside, there are tables at standard height for your comfort. A restroom is available; while it may not be the most modern, it is clean and well-maintained.

1st time to try this little cafe. Everyone was very friendly and the food was good. I had the chicken salad. Both flavors were very good. It was a beautiful day so we sat outside. Don’t leave without trying their breads, muffins and cookies. They are worth trying, very tasty.

East Shore Cafe is one of those hidden gems that makes you glad you ventured off the main highway in Daphne. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, with a cozy coastal vibe that fits perfectly with the Eastern Shore setting. It feels like a place where locals gather regularly — always a good sign.

The menu offers a solid mix of Southern comfort food and fresh café favorites. The sandwiches are generously portioned and packed with flavor, and their daily specials keep things interesting. If you’re in the mood for something lighter, the salads are fresh and well-balanced, not just an afterthought. Breakfast and brunch options are especially popular, and it’s easy to see why — everything tastes homemade.

Enjoyed a delicious brunch for the first time last week at East Shore Cafe! I had the blueberry French toast with a side of bacon & it was very yummy. Their outdoor seating area is adorable & very family friendly with games for the kiddos. We sat inside in the AC & experienced great service throughout the entire experience. They even have an ice cream window, will definitely be back to eat again & to grab an ice cream cone on a hot summer day!

The food was delicious! I couldn’t ask for anything better! The ingredients were fresh and well cooked. The service was great, with Jackie and Sean taking care of us. Perfect weather for breakfast on the porch. I recommend the omelet!
