My husband and I had a great dinner here with our 3 year old. We also ate breakfast here twice during our stay. The setting and ambiance are lovely with a romantic garden vibe. Service and food were excellent. Breakfast is more much casual than dinner.
Great place, great coctails and wine selection.
Paid $10 for about 2 oz of chicken added to our salad (even though menu listed it as $8 and barista just shrugged when we mentioned it). Good was decent at least.
STAFFS STOLE MY PHONE, LESS THAN 5 MINUTES AFTER I LEFT THE STORE, SPENT A LOT OF MONEY ON DRINKS, AND THEY STOLE MY PHONE, AND DID NOT GIVE IT UP UNTIL OUR FAMILY OF 6 SHOWED UP, MADE A SCENE, THEN MAGICALLY SOMEONE CAME OUT AND SAID THEY FOUND IT ON THE STAFF TOILET, ABSOLUTE WORST EXPERIENCE. COMPLETELY DESTROYED THE IMAGE OF THE ISLANDS, BEWARE AND AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS.
Excellent little garden spot with tasty food and a lovely bar.
Beautiful cafe and bar on main street.. Under the trees with great atmosphere.
They also have a bar where they serve cocktails.
The problem is how expensive the place is; it’s a rip off. The cocktail is 15$ plus (Espresso Martini), the small brownie (tasty) is 5$… It’s just too much… We understand it’s on the island and that there is inflation, but those prices are not justified.
Americano 4.5$, it is tasteless. Shame.
Literally a pound of mushrooms on the mushroom tacos! Tea is fantastic! Croissants are unwieldy though I had to throw out half :/ I heard someone else mention their size being too much. Great lamination though! Very expert!
Terrible counter service— the staff especially the guy with a hat is super rude. If they run out of something they speak to you like you’re stupid to not know. Food and beverages are average. Not sure if this guy was the owner or an employee but terrible. But just because of him I wouldn’t return.

Nice spot for breakfast in town. My husband and I came on a Saturday morning around 8:30. There was only one person in line in front of us but it took a while because the gentleman taking orders was also the one making the coffees. They had an impressive selection of baked goods on display. Husband and I both ordered the Greek yogurt bowl with granola and fruit. He enjoyed it more than I did. Was fine but the yogurt didn’t have a lot of flavor and the granola wasn’t my favorite. Would for sure try an egg dish instead on a return visit.

Food was terrible. Asked well done burger, got rare, all raw and red with red juices coming out. Side of scrambled eggs had excess salt.
Side of shrimp was undercooked. There is a single occupancy “gender-neutral” restroom which was in horrible state (unflushed and messy). The service is bad, no one came to check how the food was. And cherry on top: they charge tip in advance.

After six weeks of travelling across STH Africa, Italy, Canada we have finally found the best coffee and savoury scones since leaving home. Excellent … thanks guys for great service, delightful coffee shop. Highly recommend,
Jane.

This is a very unique spot with a cool outdoor seating area that's perfect for relaxing. The counter ordering process was smooth, and the salads were fresh and delicious. While it’s a bit on the expensive side, the quality of the food and overall vibe make it worth the visit. Definitely a great place to check out!

First day in Edgartiwn. Cafe entrance pretty and inviting. Chalk board said ‘welcome, we’re open. Ordered coffees and cake. Young women was very unfriendly and not particularly helpful but she took our order and said to go cups would be used. As it was outside seating we thought this was the norm. Sat down took sip of coffee and a gentleman told us we needed to leave as they were closed?! We told him that the young women had took our order and said nothing. He apologised but was that bothered. Cake and coffee were nice but you’re looking for a local welcome and a friendly smile this is Not the coffee shop for you. Far better ones in town
