Reviews Summary
Swamp Rabbit Cafe & Grocery is a highly-rated local gem praised for its commitment to fresh, local ingredients and its vibrant atmosphere. While many rave about the Stecca bread, coffee, and market selection, a few patrons have noted occasional inconsistencies with specific menu items.

"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!"

"Always have to stop here on the way thru Greenville! They have the best Stecca bread!!
I ordered the Herb your enthusiasm Sammie. It was served with beef broth for dipping. I didn’t think the dipping broth did it for me. It seemed to take away from
The Sammie instead of add to it. But the Sammie was tasty in itself so I wasn’t disappointed at all.
My husband ordered the Italian Job Sammie. It had meatballs in it and wow! It was super delish!
Of course, we will def be back!"

"This is a great stop whether you're arriving from the trail or driving in. They offer delicious pastries and a nice selection of coffee, the mocha was excellent. I first discovered them at the downtown Greenville farmers market and decided to visit the actual café. It has both indoor and outdoor seating, with a bit of an industrial feel inside. Service is fast and friendly.
I tried the peach cobbler muffin, so good! And you must try the Brazilian cheese puffs!"
