Reviews for Water Tree Treats in Myrtle Beach, SC

Pay very, very close attention to all of the reviews (including mine) that discuss the incredibly long wait times at The Water... Tree Cafe. Apparently this is how this business operates all the time, and isn't seasonal, etc. The cafe is small, butwelcoming. There is only one employee, the owner. I learned after we arrived and had been there awhile that she clears thetables, takes the orders, and cooks all food to order. They do have a dine-in business as well as a takeout business. As aresult, some of the tables may be messy when you arrive and you may have a long wait to have her take your order and/or refilldrinks. We ended up being at the cafe for over two hours by the time everything was said and done. It took more than 90minutes for any food to come out, and none of our drinks were refilled during that 90 minutes. Had I known that this wait timeswould be so long, I wouldn't have ordered an appetizer. The owner did not communicate how long things would take, and didn'tcheck in with us often. I think that our expectations could have been much better managed with upfront communication fromher. I perceived that our wait times were even longer because some takeout orders came in after we arrived and while we werethere. The people who came in to order takeout in-person were served their food before we were. We arrived at 2:00 p.m. andwere told that none of the quiches were available, which I thought was odd since the cafe opens at 12 Noon. I am vegan, so Iwas happy to see that there were so many options for me. I was visiting the cafe with two people who are omnivores, so it wasnice that there were options that they were happy with, too. All three of us commented that the food was delicious. The ownerclearly is an excellent chef and uses good, fresh ingredients in her dishes. The food gets five stars. The slow service andlack of communication is significant enough to bring my review down to three stars. My main constructive feedback wo Read more

I've been vegan for 6 years and have had vegan food all over the country and world, this is THE WORST vegan food I have ever... had. by far. like, barely edible. Boba "tea" was just almond milk w syrup, the Boba was too soft and disgustingly chewy. the"chalupa" didn't even have cheese to hold the taco shells together and the meat is just a burger patty crumbled up. the onionrings were flavorless, cheese fries gave me a stomach ache and the mac and cheese was sooo greedy and all the cheese stucktogether in one big pile. if you're vegan PLEASE go somewhere else cus this ain't it.

Absolutely LOVE this place!! There is something for everyone but if you're vegan, this is the place to go! They have TONS of... plant based options! Excellent selections for carnivores as well. The kids menu also has vegan and non vegan "kid" favorites.Portions are very generous and you'll want to order everything so plan to get "to-go" (styrofoam) boxes LOL A large variety ofbeverages (more than one diet choice), as well as smoothies, bubble tea, milkshakes, and more. The atmosphere was welcoming,clean, and relaxing. Staff was very friendly, remembered our prefer without writing it down, and cooked it perfectly! We willdefinitely be back!! Read more

We stopped in right as it opened, as we read that dishes are made to order and there is only one chef. She wasn't quite ready... for us even though we came a few minutes after opening. There was one server and one chef only. Chef seemed a bit frazzled andshe was a bit gruff in her handling our questions. We were there because of her "vegan" options, but be forewarned...if you aretruly vegan, you may not want to have any of the fried dishes, such as the nuggets, as she puts everything in the same oil. Thedishes we had were pretty tasty, so I hope the service can improve. Our waitress was lovely and did a wonderful job trying tokeep up with everyone, but she was only one person. Some customers left or changed their orders because food prep took so long.She did offer vegetarian/vegan options that we were comfortable eating...veggie burger, cheesy mac and cashew cheese, but weprobably wouldn't go back. The tiny place did get crowded quickly, if you go, just expect to be there a long time. It tookabout an hour until we got our meals. Read more

A hidden gem! A must go to. Superb food, drinks and staff. There are vegan plates, platters, drinks and desserts. I endulged in... the Hipster Burger and the Hawaiian Latte. My plus 2 had the unicorn waffle; macncheese. Honey dew Boba tea; chicken fish tacos.The portions are huge! Prices are reasonable. Cafe is clean. Love the relaxing turquoise walls and the music choice. Was awonderful experience as we are traveling through. Read more

So I tried this place for the first time today and it was pretty good. The spicy aioli was delicious. Everything was pretty... tasty and I look forward to trying some other items on the menu. If I could’ve changed anything, I would ask that they cutlarger pieces of onion for the onion rings. It is a very thin sliver of onion with a lot of breading. This makes them a bitgreasy and hard to eat. However I think if they cut the onion a bit fatter they would be Perfect. I would also recommend using adifferent kind of lettuce for the pork belly Sandwich. Something that is a little more crispy and green to balance out thefluffiness from the bun and look a little more appealing. The pork belly itself was alittle overcooked but seasoned well. Thebubble tea is the best I’ve found in Myrtle beach so far. The tapioca pearls tasted fresh. I look forward to trying some oftheir vegan options in the future. Read more

This place always leaves me feeling satisfied after I have a meal, whether or not I am by myself or with family and... friends. Staff are welcoming and relatively quick (especially since it is a VERY small staff) even when there are severalcustomers. But don't expect to be in and out super quick. This is a place you go to when you have time to sit and chat with yourdining companion. Menu has a great variety and at reasonable prices given how much food you get. If you leave here hungry, youdid something wrong. Recommended food items: Chicken n Waffle grilled cheese, Loaded Mac n Cheese, and their fried pickles. Read more

This is one of the rare places that my wife and I can go to that offers vegan food for my wife and regular options for me that... are both really good. My wife was impressed with the beyond meat gorditas and the vegan milkshake. I was a little disappointedin the perogies, they just didn't have much taste. However, I'm still leaving the rating at 5 stars because of the options andthe other food quality. I had the Black and Bleu burger, and it may have been the best Black and Bleu burger that I've ever had.The meat was good quality, and the Bleu Cheese was good quality. (I think it may have actually been Clemson Bleu Cheese) It wason a pretzel bun. Usually I don't like pretzel buns, because they are so dense that they overpower the burger, but this wasperfect. The bun was grilled and just a little doughy, and it balanced out the sandwich and the richness of the Bleu Cheese. Wewill definitely be back when we are in Myrtle Beach. Read more
