The Pantry at the Jekyll Club is truly a hidden gem! Enjoying coffee or brunch out on the porch… it’s honestly my favorite place to be. The food was delicious, and the service was even better. Karissa is always wonderful—so kind, personable, and goes out of her way to make sure we have everything we needed. It’s rare to find a place with this much heart and hospitality.

We loved this little spot. Perfect location within Jekyll Island. It’s a cafe with a small menu. Prices are what you’d expect. We shared the Cuban which was fresh and hot with a lot of meat. The outside was crispy. We also had a banana smoothie and peach smoothie both with edible straws which was a nice touch. They tasted very cold and refreshing with great flavor. The staff is super nice and went out of their way to be friendly. We also finished it all off with an iced butterscotch latte with almond milk. Flavor was barely there but the smoothness was perfect. Overall we loved it!

Wife and I stopped by for a late lunch on a Thursday at around 3. There was no line to order and we helped by the very friendly staff member. Wife had the Chicken Salad Sandwich and I had the Club. Both were very large and tasted great. We have eaten here in the past and have never had a bad meal. You can’t go wrong stopping here for a quick bite. They also have a very good selection of beer in cans and bottles along with a good selection of wines.

This was a lovely place to get a little bit of food and a great coffee. It also is a great place that has outdoor seating and we were able to have our dogs join us on this adventure.

I enjoyed this little shop. The atmosphere is great. I like the decor and it was very clean. One of the attendants was kind enough to check in the back to see if they had a specific item. I appreciated the extra effort. There is seating inside and outside on the beautiful porch.

Best-kept Lunch Spot on the Island I love this place! I’d eat here every day for lunch, easily. Everything is made hot and fresh to order, with a menu featuring salad, soup, sandwiches, and a front-facing cabinet of delicious desserts. Portions sizes are generous, and you can’t beat the atmosphere. The Pantry is attached to the hotel, and you can enjoy the luxury of eating out of the covered porch. Highly recommended!

This is the spot if you want to feel loved and special while your order is taken and while your food is made. Also when you leave! The staff here is amazing! Especially the women on the day/s I visited. Both mornings I was greeted with love and happiness as my order was taken. We got coffee both days and also the breakfast sandwich and the breakfast burrito. Let me tell you, the place is packed and line nearly to the door and the folks behind the counter are on their A game the whole time. The young lady who was cooking every order (by herself) was unflappable. She grinded through multiple orders at a time making each item as the tickets flew in. The young woman on the coffee station would give any busy Starbucks a run for their money. Each order made to order and delivered with smiles and pleasantries. Can't say enough about the staff here. The food was great too! The breakfast sandwich comes loaded with the only way bacon should be served and that is crispy!. The breakfast burrito is stuffed and packed full and will easily satisfy your morning hunger! They have plenty of other options as well. Highly recommend The Pantry during your stay here!
