When we first heard that Odd Duck Market was opening a location in Summerville, we were so excited. We’ve been fans of their Park Circle spot, and the idea of having that same delicious, thoughtfully curated experience just minutes from home felt like a dream. Even better? The timeline from announcement to opening was lightning fast—and we’re not mad about it.
Odd Duck Market officially opened its doors on January 2nd, right in downtown Summerville across from the YMCA. They skipped the soft opening and just went for it. Even without the slow opening, the space is warm, welcoming, and already feels like it’s been part of the community for years.
They’re open 7 days a week from 7am-2pm, making it a perfect stop for morning coffee, brunch with friends, or a midday treat. We’ve already been twice—once on a busy Saturday (expect a short wait to order), and once during the week when it was much quieter. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful both times, and even when things were bustling, our food and drinks came out quickly.
The vibe? Absolutely ideal. It’s the kind of place where you can work quietly solo, catch up with a friend, or bring the whole family. Inside, the market is housed in a beautifully restored historic home, complete with cozy fireplaces, local art, and charming, well-decorated rooms that invite you to linger. Outside, there’s a spacious patio with tables and a play area for kids—a total game-changer for families looking to relax while their littles stay entertained.
And while it’s definitely a coffee shop, Odd Duck Market is so much more. It’s a market, too—filled with local products like sauces, cookbooks, snacks, and specialty groceries. We even picked up our favorite barista oat milk to take home from their fridge section.
As for the food? Incredible. We’ve tried muffins, homemade toaster pastries (yes, like gourmet Pop-Tarts), and their breakfast sandwiches—all flavorful, filling, and clearly made with care. I (Courtney) eat gluten-free and was thrilled to find a gluten-free wrap and a GF bialy (like a bagel)—both were actually good, which says a lot.
You can tell this space was created with love, intention, and a clear understanding of what makes a community hub truly special. Whether you’re popping in for coffee, picking up local goods, or gathering with friends, Odd Duck Market is a must-visit—and already a new favorite.
