“It’s easy to spend your entire day at Lips Cafe. You start your day with an Americano or Mango Latte and either your typical breakfast go-to or take a step on the island side of things and have a Bake & Saltfish.”

-Shenae Curry, Travel Noire

  • "Delicious coffee and tasty food with the chillest vibe. Usually I come here for an iced americano. Most places are hit or miss but they always make mine delicious. I tried the turkey panini and it was super good, hit the spot. Highly recommend!"

  • "DELICIOUS!! I am here visiting a friend and she told me if there's one place she is taking me to Lips Cafe and I was not disappointed!! The food was amazing and the atmosphere was refreshing from the busy streets. The ginger pineapple juice was sweet and refreshing but the iced chai latte is one of the best I've ever tasted. I will definitely be returning to try everything on the menu! I would have taken more pictures but the food was too good I couldn't wait!"
