Our Story

Andrew Bland, a trained Executive Chef from England, runs the kitchen while Terry instills her southern hospitality into the business side. Together, they make the perfect team for this growing business and have become well-known throughout the area for their beloved café, delicious catering and their generosity to the community. 

Andrew & Terry started their catering business in Florence, SC over 20 years ago and then decided to move their business to Coastal Carolina in Shallotte in 2004. This is when they opened their ever so popular, Purple Onion Café on Main Street. Since then they have been busy catering events and serving the public daily breakfast, lunch & desserts!
