Description



This Jamaica eatery combines a full kitchen menu with an artisanal bakery counter. Beyond traditional breakfasts, the kitchen turns out a signature bandeja paisa featuring chicharron that travels well, keeping its crunch even on the way home. The bakery side keeps a stock of fresh breads, cheesy rolls, and ready-to-go birthday cakes. For a quick bite, the griddled arepas come stuffed with a mozzarella center, though opinions on the empanada fillings lean toward the drier side. Opting to dine in keeps the Latin American specialties hot off the plate.
