I've yet to have a bad meal at this place. Breakfast is amazing, and dinner was wonderful, too. The prices are outstanding. Breakfast for three people, including fresh juice and extra sides was less than 20 bucks. The staff is very attentive but not pushy or overbearing. Go here if you are starving and want a guaranteed delicious meal. This... More

Coffee is amazing, food is amazing, place is amazing! Must go to Barrio while in SJDS. You will see locals with laptops, vistors relaxing over a great meal and can sit in the comfy couches or on a bar stool and watch the world go by on the streets! To me, it's very American and makes me feel at home... More

this place could be so good if the owners actually taught their staff the hospitality business- the bills are always mixed up with extra stuff on it that you never ordered . The orders sometimes never come and the food is average to below average. Never had a coffee here yet but must be OK as some go back ,... More

Fast service, even when busy. We went twice for breakfast, and once for coffee. Best pancakes were in Grenada, but these definitely were a close second. Huge portions. Great atmosphere. Very clean, nice staff, fairly priced.

My wife and I tried this place out for a light late lunch after a hectic day of site seeing. They didn't mind that we just wanted to share a salad (which was very tasty) and have a couple of beers sitting outside in the shade. Service was good and they didn't worry about us using the free WiFi for... More

cold beer, ok drinks. went with a group of six, sat down ready to order and the place was empty. They tell us our table is reserved for ? Maybe we should just eat at the bar. Not that friendly and certainly not helpful, so we left.

Went here for dinner as it seemed like one of the few restaurants that had people in it. Their wireless was really patchy, but not that big of a deal. We both had wraps which were actually pretty tasty (though the "lettuce" in my wrap was a bunch of greens, which I don't like, I was expecting Romaine). The service... More

Frequented this establishment several times during a recent visit. The Mojitos are good but the Tropical Chicken Coconut Curry is a must try lunch item.

Good coffe and drinks. The cafe is located in the corner of the city, although there is a lot going on on the street outside. I liked sittingn here either with a drink or a coffe and just watch the people and happernings outside!
