Myrtle Beach’s newest sweet spot …
Have you tried it yet? ☕️🥐

This new European-style bakery & patisserie is filled with handmade pastries, desserts and beautiful cakes — plus specialty coffees if you’re looking for a new morning stop. ☕️🥐

Everything is handmade, and I especially love that you can sit and enjoy something there, take it to go, or pop in and grab a beautiful cake or dessert when you need something special at the last minute.

Open 7 days a week | 7:30 AM–7 PM

Another locally owned spot worth knowing about — and exactly the kind of place I love finding and sharing.

Because living in Myrtle Beach is about so much more than the beach. 🫶🏻

One of my favorite places is . It’s just a short drive from Myrtle Beach, but it feels like you’ve stepped into a completely different world.

The family behind Home Sweet Farm has been farming this land for generations, and you can feel the love and care in everything they do.

Fresh eggs from their chickens. Seasonal vegetables and flowers grown right on the farm. Local honey 🐝, plus delicious cheeses, butter, and milk from .

And don’t leave without trying the chicken salad from as it was such a delicious surprise.

If you’re looking for things to do near Myrtle Beach, this is one of those hidden gems locals love. Supporting local farms means supporting families, preserving traditions, and strengthening our community.

This is the side of Myrtle Beach most visitors never get to see.
