“ I have been here several times and the presentation and taste doesn’t change. Although the time taken for your food to arrive can be a bit late but you will not regret the wait. The menu selections differs from most cafes. That’s what intrigued me to try out this place. It’s one of the many cafes that starts business at 7am!! Good spot for early risers.. And yes I will definitely recommend you all to try it out.. ”
“ We visited Teass and Toast and were served by a super friendly Cuban waiter mames Carlos who made us feel right at home . The coffee was amazing and the juices were even better. I especially recommend the turmeric and mango juice — absolutely delicious! Would definitely come back. ”
“ Coffee is excellent. Service is excellent. The place is very clean. We enjoyed being there. Thank you so much to the lady in the restaurant. She is beautiful ”
“ I tried toasts with guacamole and walnuts and Brie and blueberry. It was a very interesting combination of flavors. I wasn’t sure what it will look like so I asked the staff and they explained. So no problems with that. I also would like to mention what I witnessed. A couple wasn’t happy with their order due to their expectations and not asking staff questions whether certain things will be in the ingredients. While sitting at the table they made it their aim to write a bad review. As a business owner I see how it can impact the business. I don’t know the restaurant owner and don’t know the couple ether. As a person who’s indifferent I can tell that their experience should not impact other people’s desire to visit a place and make their own opinion. This is not a 5 star Michelin restaurant, it’s a simple breakfast place on the island. So don’t expect it to act like a Michelin place. Service is good food is good. My husband was happy with his breakfast too. ”
“ The Farmers Skillet Breakfast was a delicious, well-balanced meal featuring perfectly cooked sunny-side-up eggs, salted mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, and sausage served with sourdough bread. The Chicken Parmigiana sandwich, with its crispy chicken and gooey cheese, was indulgent and satisfying. It was complemented by a rich French hot chocolate with marshmallows, fresh sugar-free pineapple juice, and a smooth latte. Overall, a hearty, flavorful breakfast experience worth repeating. ”
