Reviews
"Didn’t taste like authentic Haitian food, and they forgot my pikliz. However, portion was good, and I liked that they had some DJ’s out front on their Independence Day- I’ll be back to give them another chance."
"Great spot for a Haitian Patty that’s on the lighter side. Codfish patty was a tad dry but the chicken was well seasoned and flaky. Got a latte with almond milk and it was one of the best lattes I’ve had especially at this price point. Such a great neighborhood staple and the music is phenomenal (Kompa, neo-soul, Afrobeats and more)."
"I loved the vibe and decor of this restaurant. My cafe au lait was perfectly made. I was excited to try the fried mushroom sandwich, it was good but just too salty for my liking. Would like to go back and try a different option."
"Small but nice place. They also have good wifi connection so it's great to work here. Service was really good too, the lady even gave me a cookie on the house cos my food took a bit long! (Fyi, that cookie was sooo good!)"
"I was super disappointed with this place. I ordered the half roasted épis chicken with plantain on the side. The chicken was super DRY! The plantain were not fresh. I tried to eat the food. Nothing was going down my throat. I told the girl in the front that the chicken was dry. I asked her if this was fry chicken or roasted chicken. She said that it was roasted then FRIED! I try to get something else the lady gave me some salted shredded chicken almost soupy consistency. I asked her for some bread to eat with it. She said no.. I had a spiked margarita it was watered down."
