Cafe Dolce (Ig: @cafedolce) now has another location in Progressive Plaza, Liguanea!
I will give them a chance to get up to speed with their usual service time, but I got my expected standard of high quality for my choices on the menu. They have lots of healthy choices too!
This time I chose the grilled Chicken Pesto Panini with a Matcha Green Tea Latte (+almond milk).
It’s a cool workspace too. Go visit the new Cafe Dolce soon and have a great day!

Just too much niceness on Danya’s Coffee Barrel’s (Ig: @danyascoffeebarrel) menu though! It was hard to choose. So I skipped breakfast and made room for brunch 3 Saturdays ago.
Saturday?! Yes. If you don’t work or go downtown during the week, Danya’s is usually open on the last Saturday of every month.
They are located across from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade by the Grace Kennedy building and you can use their parking.
I had the Smoked Marlin Bagel and Ackee Sandwich that had Plantain! Absolutely delicious + great Coffee. Yes, I love Cafes. Maybe I will feature more this week, but in the mean time, check out Danya’s Coffee Barrel! You can dine, pick up or get it delivered. Danya’s continues to be #SugaEndorsed.

We had their Soup of the Day, a tasty Caprese Salad, followed up by delish, flavourful, herby Shrimp Spaghetti Puttanesca and I swapped my Shrimp Alfredo to Tomato sauce. I still asked them to work on a Pesto or light White Wine sauce for the Pastas, but they were delectable nonetheless.

Fairly new from welcoming first guests last year and published earlier this year by The Jamaica Observer, we learnt that US civil rights attorney, Dana Kurtz opened Blue Skies Beach Resort (Ig: @blueskiesbeachresort) and realised her dream. This led to her also driving the dreams of aspiring Jamaican Chefs.
I can appreciate the old authenticity of shacks and huts on Negril beach, but appreciate modernizing it even more. Negril is one of the top tourist destinations in the world and we should move with the times and strive to keep it as such.
If strolling on Negril’s 7 mile beach, you cannot miss the Blue Skies Beach Resort. Bright blue and new furnishings on its wooden sea deck with not one, but 2 bars and blazing music. They also advertised having the best Coffee on the beach, but we were on a Rum run.
Fast forward to night time, we approached from Norman Manley Boulevard where they have a bit of construction happening for greater things to come. There was a Baby Shower happening on the top deck, but we were still able to get suitable parking.
With the event happening, more staff should have been on deck (literally) that night, but Chef Sanika Clarke picked up double duty and greeted us like guests to her own home. She took our order and still attended to us even when our server, Veronica introduced herself to us mid-service. Veronica was quite hospitable as well.
Blue Skies Beach Resort focuses on Jamaican cuisine, but had International and Italian options as well. We enjoyed the enhanced flavours of each dish by local herbs, spices and fresh farm veggies, topped off by freshly made, scrumptious dessert made by Chef Sanika herself.
ðŸ´Spicy Crayfish soup (spicy and tasty!)ðŸ´Chicken soup (tasty!)
ðŸ´Fried Farm Fresh Okra (delish!)
ðŸ´Roasted Conch (yum, nom nom!)ðŸ´Oxtail (a bit too heavy on the spices & herbs, but still tasty)ðŸ´Bread Pudding (the Rum Caramel sauce was 🔥)ðŸ´Key Lime Pie (Perfection👌ðŸ¾ðŸ‘ðŸ¾)
Blue Skies Beach Resort is definitely #SugaEndorsed.

Suga dining seaside by Indies 957 at White Sands Negril last Saturday, June 11, 2022.
It just took a walk on Negril beach to find some fairly new spots with good, Jamaican food.
Indies957 at White Sands Negril (Ig:@whitesandsnegril) is the spot for Oxtail!
Control yourself with portions and save space for dinner😀
Oxtail with rice and peas and raw veggies.
The right balance in seasoning, but also a good cut of Oxtail! Tender to the bone. Cut and slide 👌ðŸ¾
Indies 957 is a neat spot for Lunch with a view of the Caribbean sea from up top and courteous, down to earth staff.
You can check out Indies 957 at White Sands Negril for Breakfast, Lunch or Dinner. #SugaEndorsed

Gabrielle Burgess a.k.a Suga of Suga Lifestyle at South Avenue Grill last March 19, 2022.
It’s been a little while since we made this visit towards the end of March. Nonetheless, South Avenue Grill (Ig: @southavenuegrill) used to be an old favourite for us, especially for Steak and we spontaneously revisited it one Saturday night for dinner.
The restaurant was buzzing with a full house of diners, mostly families, in addition to persons waiting to be seated. We quickly realised this is a place you have to make reservations. The wait wasn’t long to be seated, but Apps took half hour to come out and our Mains, a bit over half hour after that. We appreciated our server, Carlene being attentive with giving us updates and checking on us though.
Check out what we had!
Fowl pon fire, that needed a bit more wood for the fire. More heat please!
WingsThai Coconut Curry ChickenSteak with black beans and mashed potatoes.
We also had Wings, Thai Coconut Curry Chicken, Steak with black beans and mashed potato. The Steak wasn’t as juicy as it used to be and though presentation may not be the best, it was still some decent food and we left feeling satisfied. We still saw their usual huge servings of Burgers and cheesy Shrimp Pastas pass us by!
Happy to see South Avenue Grill still buzzing. I would revisit in the day time during the week with reservations.

Great service continues.
