Very tasty jerk chicken with rice n beans, I loved their homemade peanut dressing and their sorrel was perfectly tart! Lots of folks came in asking for their half curry half jerk plate- I'll have to try that next! check out this spot for yourself next time your at the Capitol!

Came by here with family as a pit stop after visiting the State Capitol for lunch. We made it just in time, 45 min before closing which would have been 2:30pm.Ordered jerk chicken plates. The food was simple, and honest. It was great! The jerk chicken was flavored just right and cooked well. It was served on rice and beans with salad. Picked the peanut sauce for the dressing and did not regret! If you like sauces and are stopping by, ask for extra!The owners are very friendly and personable. There is Caribbean music playing. The seating and env is simple and friendly. Next time I'm in town, I would come back!

I heard about this place from my wife. I came here for lunch. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. I ordered the chicken sandwich with bacon and avocado on rye bread. The sandwich had a great flavor and very filling. The ambiance was very customer friendly. A great place to go for lunch.

I've been meaning to stop by Cafe Connection for a long time, but I kept missing them as they're open M-F 11am-3:30pm. It's perfect for the Downtown crowd, but I tend to do more exploring on the weekends. I was walking back to my car after some meetings and saw they were open and took my chance! As I entered, I was greeted with the delicious smell of Caribbean food. When I made it to the counter I asked for their recommendation and ended up getting the chicken curry plate. I also ordered a chicken and a beef patty to take home and got a half sorrel half mint lemonade for my drink. The staff was so friendly and was telling me about all their favorite dishes. I need to come back to try more soon. As I left, I took a sip of my drink and that completely won me over. The Sorrel (hibiscus) and mint lemonade mixed is so flavorful and refreshing. The portion sizes were generous and everything came out to $35.84 after tip and will easily be at least two meals, maybe three. I'm excited for my next visit already!

Meh. Was super excited to try this place after hearing great things but I don't think I'll be back. Overall just lacked flavor. I got the jerk chicken plate and a beef patty. The jerk chicken and rice and peas were moist but sadly lacked flavor, I really only tasted pepper. The beef patty was warmed up in the microwave and just really dense and dry. I was hoping I had found a local spot but it's a pass for me. I'm sure it fits in other individuals flavor profiles but I didn't really care for it. The owners were really nice though!

Real authentic foods.

What a gem of a restaurant! The owners are so nice and the food is delicious. I came in for the jerk chicken but the owner told me to try 1/2 curry and 1/2 jerk. It came with a salad and she recommended the peanut dressing and it did not disappoint! It also came with red beans and rice. It was enough food for two lunches. I have been back again and will continue to go! And the homemade hot sauce is amazing!

Excellent food!!! So tasty, so fresh and delicious! Our friends brought us to try it, we were so impressed by the quality and the owners are so kind and generous. You gotta try this yummy place!

The food is good, the place is clean and the owners are very kind and polite, I enjoy the small talk I sometimes have with the woman working. I always get the Phulorie with my food, she recommended it during my first visit and it's become one of my favorite foods to eat.

I'm very glad they have reopened. It used to be a favorite lunch spot when I worked downtown and now that I'm back I'm happy to make this a regular lunch stop. Owners/workers are incredibly friendly and really add to a nice local restaurant experience. It also helps that while the menu is a bit limited, the food prepared that I've tried so far has been delicious!
