Just because I noticed some of these reviewes are quite old, I would add that they do take credit cards here (they are NOT cash-only) and they certainly do have espresso. It was a little tricky to find due to signage, but we're glad we did!

Today my friend and I were out for breakfast when an individual in need approached me asking for money for food. Instead I offered to buy them a coffee and a sandwich from the cafe. Before I was even able to enter the cafe, an employee stepped out and blocked the entrance. When I asked what he was doing, he said that the individual was not allowed to enter the cafe. Even though I was puzzled by this, I said that if she is not allowed in then I would like to come in since I will be purchasing the meals. The employee looked at me and said no and stated "if you care so much about people, why don't you just drive them home" this is absolutely the most DISGUSTING behaviour I have ever witnessed from an employee, AND who even says that...like how heartless and selfish can you be. I reiterated to the man that I'm not sure what his problem is with this individual, however I am a paying customer and I would like to buy the food. Once again he refused to let me in, and said that if we didn't leave he would be calling the cops. Additionally stating, "I can't let you buy food, because I'm scared you'll give it to her". Once again the service here is absolutely disgusting, and for an employee to speak to a paying customer that way, just because I was trying to buy an individual in need a meal, is truly horrific.

It is located inside an old old with plenty of parking in the back. Use the front entrance for the restaurant and the back entrance for the bakery. Being inside a house, there are home-type decorations, including a coach, living room table, paintings, etc. There is indoor seating in 3 areas and outdoor seating on the front porch. Outside the house is a dog-friendly fenced area, with artificial turf and water bowls. The owner and operator has owned several locations in the past. This location had its grand opening on 2024-09-07. The customer service is good. All food and bakery items are made in-house, literally!! I ordered a box of 6 bakery items. They cost $5.99 each or 6 for $30. I chose the following: Canolli, Carmalita, Vegan Millionaire, Keto Krack x 2, Pecan Pie Bar. So far I've tried the Canolli and Keto Krack. They were both good. Can't wait to try the others. There is free WiFi. The restaurant is not wheelchair accessible. There is free parking in the private parking lot. Review 2024-238

Gonna have to come back for lunch sometime. Sandwiches look great! It looks like when weather is nice they will have some outside seating, as well. Parking can be challenging and there is a small lot behind the building, but I couldn't tell if it was only for the apartments that are there or also for customers of the cafe? I will have to ask next time I go. If the parking lot is available that makes it so much easier.

As you open the door, you head down a series of stairs and are pleasantly surprised by the cool, open-space vibe. It felt so comfortable, and we were warmly greeted right away. It only took us a few minutes to choose something from the menu. I can honestly say the breakfast sandwich may have been the best I've ever had--clean simplicity that brought out all the right flavors. The roasted veggies with the house focaccia were also very good. They have a cool little outdoor patio that overlooks a basin. Parking is metered with the Honk app, and prices are reasonable. Here's what I say: if you find yourself in downtown St. Kitts, stop in--you'll enjoy it. Saluti!

The lady behind counter was so helpful with recommending what to get. The strawberry cheesecake mount Olympus was insane. Would recommend swapping out the strawberry syrup on the ice cream, for dark chocolate. We also got the Hazelnut puffs. The cookies and cream ice cream topping sauce was too sweet ( would have preferred dark chocolate). So Mr Puffs is basically fried dough balls with sauce on it. The Puffs are warm and paired with the ice cream, the combination is just insane. The only thing id say is, although we were 4-5 people sharing, we got 2 mount olympus 8 piece and it was an insane amount of ice cream . Id recommend even as a group , get 1 with ice cream and then just some puffs on the side :).
