“ My family and I came to Daufuskie Island for a day trip and stopped at School Grounds Coffee - we had such a great experience and were all more than pleased with our frappes, frozen lemonades, teas and coffees. It was such a cute spot with so much to enjoy for all ages! The kids loved the swings/basketball courts and we loved the art and shop up front. We will be back! ”
