“Really enjoyed the breakfast my wife and I had. Nice that there was a good vegetarian option. Service was fantastic and the atmosphere was very upbeat. The "ska" themed coffee got a few conversations started ;)”

“I have never tasted a poorer carribean restaurant in all of my life. The food was bland , I couldn’t taste anything authentic and I’m so so disappointed as my hopes were high. We did not enjoy our meal at all , the service was great unfortunately.”

- Kendra
“So glad we included going here when we went to the Coventry Music Museum. Price are good, food and drinks are great, the owners were so friendly, and the atmosphere was the best part. We are tourists so not sure if we'd go back to Coventry in general but cannot recommend this place enough!”
