The Best Places to Sample Jamaican Coffee

Jamaica is a must-visit destination for everyone from beach addicts looking for a relaxing escape to hedonistic thrill-seekers flying out to experience one of the Caribbean’s top party destinations. Whatever your reasons for visiting, chances are at some point during your stay you’ll be in need of a good cup of coffee – and fortunately, Jamaica happens to brew its own locally sourced blends perfectly. If you’d like to taste coffee from different countries then you should definitely try out something delicious like 11 oz colombian whole bean coffee.

Café Blue, Kingston

The self-titled “home of Jamaica’s finest gourmet coffee drinks” serves up the aromatic Blue Mountain cherry coffee as cappuccinos, espressos and lattes. Their gourmet tea is also a treat for those hankering after a good old-fashioned brew.

The Coffee and Crème Café, Montego Bay

This friendly and pleasant eatery in the Whitter Village Centre in Ironshore serves the signature Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee with a splash of local rum. With a wide selection of pastries, sandwiches and salads, it’s ideal for chatting over a spot of breakfast or brunch. Afterwards, our villas in Jamaica offer the perfect place to relax and escape the midday heat, with the nearby Bambu offering VIP concierge as well as a glorious view of the coast.

The Gap Café, The Blue Mountains

Built in the 1930s, The Gap Café is a hub for those looking to enjoy Jamaican coffee brewed with beans from the surrounding area. Legend has it that author Ian Fleming wrote James Bond adventure Dr No in this rustic café, but even without the literary credentials the delicious homemade pastries and regional delicacies like curried goat make this an unmissable stop on your Jamaican tour. Holidaymakers have been known to make a 21-mile pilgrimage to enjoy the Blue Mountain coffee here, with the panoramic view of the Mountains themselves in the background.

Ev’rytime Café, Negril

Relative newcomer Ev’rytime Café is Jamaica’s answer to a hipster coffee bar, with stylish furniture, an air of sophistication and the day’s menu chalked onto the walls. Alongside cocktails, rum and beers, Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee can be enjoyed on the roof terrace overlooking the Caribbean Sea. If that’s not quite enough to satisfy your caffeine cravings, a stay at the Drambuie Estate can include al fresco candlelit dinners finished off with expertly blended coffees that more than live up to the high standards set by the rest of the island’s offerings.
