This is far and away the best coffee shop and cafe in Holetown. Great coffee (not in vast mugs), terrific home bakes, great gluten free options, excellent lunches home cooked. Host Moya is charming. Come every day!

Sweet little café with such a welcoming atmosphere! I spent a whole day getting my caffeine fix and studying here once. I especially love that they have a gratitude jar where you write something you’re grateful for, so adorable! Delicious food and treats as well!

The pricing is reasonable. The atmosphere is quaint. The pancakes weren’t amazing, but the “British” platter and the “rush hour” sandwich were delicious. As a tourist, it was nice to find a place with free WiFi.

This is the best sandwich I've had in Barbados, in my humble, European opinion: delicious turkey, brie and cranberry on walnut and flax seed bread. Good pizza and pasta! Great customer service and free wi-fi. Returned the next day for the same sandwich :D

Really enjoyed my breakfast here this morning. I did find the portions a bit small for the price, but can’t dispute the quality. The hot chocolate was delicious! A hug in a mug. I would return even for that alone :) I tried their desserts about a year ago and remember enjoying them, but maybe I’ll have to return later in the day for more variety.
