We came on a Wednesday to enjoy the weekly schnitzel dish, and it did not disappoint. The dessert was amazing - fluffy blueberry cake with crumble topping. The couple who run the restaurant are super friendly and welcoming. The homemade lemonade was also delicious. Prices were very reasonable. Support this awesome local business!

Egg and cheese crepe was amazingly delicious Make the trip one block off the main road and enjoy some of the best coffee in town Linda was great. I just put in an order for her infamous cheese cake which is derived for her dad’s recipe. If it takes three days to make from scratch, it must be good. I’ll report back. Reporting back… OH MY GOODNESS If you are spending more than a few days in Bocas or even live there, pay the $$ and put in an order for Linda’s homemade German cheesecake. It was fluffy (not dense like the American-style cheesecake) and not too sweet. It was a perfect blend of pastry delicacy and home-baked passion Thank you Linda for going the extra mile even when the entire island lost electricity the morning of baking time. You did amazing!

Great coffee fantastic vibe. Very nice owner. Coming back tomorrow for the best bagels in Bocas!...and I was 300% correct. The poppy bagel was amazing and the home-made orange/Earl Grey jelly was to die for. So, if you heading to/from the airport or just wondering around the neighborhood looking to grab a bite, look no further and make one of your culinary stops at here! PS Couldn't take a picture of the bagel because it disappeared too fast

Stopped by here one day for lunch when we were walking near by, and now has become our go to lunch/brunch spot!! The daily lunches are always different and tastes amazing. A little sweet treat after lunch, always grabs our attention as Linda makes incredible tarts, cakes, traditional pastries. Their crepes are also to die for !! Sweet or savoury which ever you prefer. This is truly the spot! Don’t miss out. They are truly attentive to your needs and wants. Oh and fresh baked rye bread … homemade jam? Who would want to miss out. (A picture of the Berliner attached oh so good)
