The OTHER Peach State
Did you know that South Carolina produces more peaches than Georgia? Route 23 through Aiken and Saluda Counties takes you alongside endless orchards where the sunshine-sweet fruit thrives and is harvested from May through August. In the midst of the bounty is Peaches N Such, a farm stand diner that not only sells them by the bag, peck, and bushel, but also serves peach-bread French toast for breakfast (with peach syrup) as well as memorable peach cobbler for dessert. In the city of Aiken, at the counter-culture coffee shop called New Moon Cafe, accompany cold brew or espresso by thick slices of crisp-toasted sourdough spread with ricotta cheese and topped with peach preserves. And in the official “Peach State,” just over the river in Augusta, Georgia, at Honey From the Rock Cafe, a truly divine church-made lunch concludes with house-made peach ice cream.
New Moon Cafe
Aiken's town coffee house roasts its own and offers hearty casual dishes, many vegetarian. New Moon Cafe is great for leisurely eating and web-surfing.
Peaches ‘n’ Such
A farm-stand cafe surrounded by South Carolina orchards, Peaches 'n' Such serves breakfast, lunch and, of course, peach ice cream and peach cobbler.
Honey From the Rock Cafe
Serving 4-star Dixie cafeteria fare with spiritual purpose, Augusta's Honey from the Rock is known for baked chicken, crisp corn fritters & homemade ice cream.
