We certainly appreciate all your incredible support since we opened in March 2014.  As the rate of Covid-19  continues to increase in the Lowcountry, we need to make a change to help us provide a safe environment for our Team Members and our Guests at The O/D and BeardCat’s.  We have decided to close BeardCat’s until further notice so that we can reduce the number of Guests on our Sullivan’s Island property.  This will help ensure that we are able to maintain a safe environment with proper social distancing for our Obstinate Daughter Guests and Team Members.  You will continue to be able to enjoy BeardCat’s Gelato while dining at The Obstinate Daughter as well as at The O/D’s Curbside Service.

We sincerely thank everyone for all your loyal support and we wish you and your families all the best.    

Beardcat’s Sweet Shop is a gelateria, coffee shop and retail space that sits below The Obstinate Daughter on Sullivan’s Island, SC. Our Captain BeardCat figurehead (and Feline sidekick) are speculated to share quite an interesting history with Miss Carolina Sullivan. All we truly know today is that with our Sweet Shop, we strive to bring the good people of Sullivan’s Island the best possible sweet and savory flavor profiles imaginable.

During the conceptual phase of The Obstinate Daughter, our think-tank team considered uses for the original retail space under the restaurant. Having served as a small produce stand years ago, the Island Boy Produce space seemed to be a perfect place to serve Sullivan’s Island house-made, artisanal gelato made from locally sourced ingredients.

BeardCat's Sweet Shop offers a whimsical dining experience. Pick your choice of gelato from our myriad of flavors offered behind the looking glass. Accompany your sweet bite with a delicious cappuccino and stay awhile in our colorful dining room or better yet, utilize our patio seating outside! 

 In addition to offering cups of gelato, Beardcat’s also specializes in gelato sandwiches, gelato cakes, pastries and cookies for any occasion. These goodies pair well with a variety of artisanal drinks and house-made grab and go sandwiches. The Sweet Shop is partnered with Counter Culture Coffee in Durham, North Carolina to provide full coffee shop service.
