"Definitely check it out!”

Amazing! Just walked into this place we are fine walking down the Esplanade and we found super friendly, smiling faces that made amazing food. Wednesdays they have jerk chicken and they always have homemade items on the menu and plenty full servings of ice cream. This is gonna be one of my new favourite neighbourhood spots. Definitely check it out!

This place is an honest gem. Super awesome people, and ever better food. Best BLT I have ever had. Will take my wife for a date in the future. Great respite from working outside all day. 2 million stars.

Delicious food and so reasonable!!! Love the community feel! We're all welcome every week even for a cup of tea....but do try their yummy sandwiches! Our neighbourhood hang out! Aren't they the cutest and coolest?!

This family-run restaurant has great service and fresh homemade meals! Mom and Pop were very friendly and cook delicious food! Prices are reasonable. The jerk chicken and homemade hot sauce were yummy! I'd definitely recommend it and look forward to eating there again soon!!

Saw all the 5 star reviews and came to check this place out. It's as described, casual, friendly staff, and great value for the location. Id highly recommend to others looking to grab a quick bite. Soup was heart and had a good amount of rice and beef. Sandwich was made well with a good variety of bread options for the picky.

Really nice place tucked away downtown. Great service and good food. Lovely place to visit in the summer to just hang out for brunch. Will definitely be coming back to visit next summer. If you are in the area be sure to come check this place out
