“This small grocery store has a surprisingly large and welcoming atmosphere, offering both takeout and dine-in options. It's my go-to place for hard-to-find Spanish and West Indian ingredients, including spices, vegetables, and canned goods that the larger supermarkets often lack. I also appreciate their buffet featuring a delicious blend of American and West Indian cuisine. I always make sure to grab a bag of their flavorful beef patties and coco bread before I leave.“

“Yo the food is really good, it really reminded me of eating at my grandmother’s spot. There are two restaurants beside this place, one of the has been accused of being racist against African Americans, while the other one sells basic tasting and not the best Chinese ( Yum Yums has far better Chinese in Colley) food. I highly recommend spending your dollars and showing your support by enjoying the great food they offer and make your soul smile. Peace and blessings.“

“Wanted something different. I heard they have good crab cakes. Well, I thought I made the best crab cakes but there's remind me of Blue Channel crabs. The sandwich was?????????. Best I had in the 757. Almost 1/2 pound of crab with no fillers. The place is a little hard to find and something you would see on Diners Drive in and Dives. Large delicious portions, friendly folks. DELICIOUSLY AMAZING.“

“🌟 An Unforgettable Culinary Experience at Canvas Social Cuisine 🌟

I cannot say enough about the food at Canvas Social Cuisine — it was absolutely breathtaking. Each bite was a masterclass in flavor, presentation, and passion. The chef isn’t just cooking — he’s creating an exquisite, memorable experience that stays with you long after the meal ends.

Every dish I tried was perfectly balanced, fresh, and full of soul. This is not just food — this is art on a plate. I’ve already told my friends and family, “You HAVE to try this place” — but I’ll add one condition: the chef MUST be there. His touch, his creativity, his presence — it makes all the difference. I need his food, and no one else’s will do.

If you’re lucky enough to catch him in the kitchen, prepare yourself. You’re about to taste something truly special.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ – I’d give more stars if I could.“
