Southern Plenty Cafe - South Boston

Stayed at Staunton River State Park and headed into South Boston for breakfast at Southern Plenty. Food was pretty good, coffee was excellent though. Had pancakes with eggs and bacon and an iced mocha. The pancakes were alright, but nothing too amazing. My wife got a ham, brie and onion jam sandwich which was quite delicious… she offered me a bite.. I took two. The overall experience was quite nice and I would definitely check it out if you’re near by.

We thoroughly enjoyed our meal at Southern Plenty. The ambience is a Traditional lunch counter. You order your meal at the register. Desserts are there to tempt you in the glass case as you order. You can also just visit for ice cream or a shake. I had one of their specials the veggie quiche that was also gluten free. No crust. It was very good! It came with a side and corn bread muffin for $9. I got the pickled beets and got cheese. My only critique would be that the pickled beats and goat cheese salad was in too much liquid.. my husband had the bright leaf salad. Everything was very fresh and flavorful!! We really enjoyed our meal. Staff was also helpful and friendly, the place is located on the main downtown Street for South Boston. Street parking is available. There is also a public parking lot a couple blocks away.

Overall, it was an enjoyable experience. The food was delicious, and the latte was better than the well-known national chain. Service was a little slow, but we were not in a hurry. Once we were helped, the staff was very friendly. The prices are fair and what you'd expect for the quality of the product. The layout is a little confusing, though. It's parts of a bistro, coffee shop, bakery, and shop all rolled together. All in all, it was an enjoyable visit and a good value.

This is a very nice and quaint place to eat with coffee. I love having the lavender latte. The service is great, and the desserts are delicious. They also have awesome specials. I love the shrimp and grits.

Absolutely THE best place around to have breakfast!! I highly recommend Southern Plenty for some amazing food and service!
