Tropical Island Coffee & Cafe 39 West Piccadilly Street, Winchester, VA 22601

"This is by far my favorite restaurant. I live an hour and a half away and anytime we are in Winchester I get the jerk chicken and a meal to go for my lunch the next day. The employees are very friendly and always cheerful. I recommend this place to everyone."

"Now, this was probably one of the best highlights of my visit to Winchester. Service was perfect...and I mean perfect. The food was on point, hot and spicy. I felt like a regular even on my visit. Better than that, I felt like family adjacent. I wish I had taken pictures. The jerk chicken and oxtail was super tender and juicy. The plantains were iron skillet fried. I can't say enough about this place. Go visit. You will not be disappointed."

"I ordered the jerk chicken and my boyfriend got the oxtails. Food was amazing and the owner was very friendly and welcoming. The jerk chicken was a lot spicier than I expected, but very full of flavor! We also ordered fried plantains, a mango smoothie, one of the Jamaican coffees, and a beef patty to go. We will definitely be returning!"

"First time here and was satisfied. The ox Tail wasn't ready during my visit, which was my main reason for visiting. the girl suggested the curry goat dish, which did not disappoint. Place is a bit outdated, but the food speaks for itself. Will have to return for the ox tail and for the 5th star."

"We chose this place because of the high ratings but maybe we chose a wrong day/time to visit. The best part of the encounter was the host. Very bright and bubbly personality. However the food was not good. To be honest the food seemed to be not very fresh. It reminds me of food that is thrown together real quick cause you u hungry and u need not put too much attention to taste and presentation. It was not restaurant quality. It is nothing compared to Jamaican food to which I am accustomed to. The rice and peas appeared to be cooked separately and just mixed together poorly. The cabbage lacked flavor and was mushy. Spinach had high amount of citrus flavor. The curry was over powering in the chicken…meaning it may have been added very late in the cooking process and didn’t have time to blend. Another thing, I do not believe the patties are freshly made. I think they are store bought and displayed as home made. Reason being is that they tastes awfully similar to the same patties from the local Costco. This is an overall fail for me."
