    I finally made it to brunch and I was definitely satisfied. One of the best chicken and waffles (belly-filling) and of course my fave frozen mint lemonade ( the best lemonade ever). A must visit to anyone thinking of having brunch on Saturday or Sunday. And the staff and service =excellence and wait time is on point 😊.

    Lovely food, but exceptionally slow service. The setting is really welcoming. A calm little oasis in the middle of Bridgetown. The decor and landscaping all make for a comfy venue. However, we waited about fifteen minutes to be seated in a more or less empty restaurant. When we were seated it took another ten minutes or so for tap water to be brought to the table and we had to repeatedly ask if we could order drinks. Food menus were only brought, again on repeated request, after we had been sat for almost 20 minutes. I lost count on how long it took for our order to arrive. Far too long! The restaurant was not even remotely busy but it seems the kitchen struggled to fill orders nonetheless. Some dishes were brought well before others, so some of our party had finished eating before other's food had arrived. All of that said, both the food and drink served was absolutely delicious. I only hope that they can bring the service up to meet the standard of atmosphere and cuisine.

    Rustic but elegant court yard with amazing brunch, proper cappuccino and very nice staff, maybe not the easiest location to reach but parking is super close and included, definitely worthy.

  • 4/5 Toni E. 5 years ago on Google
    Nice atmosphere and comfortable the waiter was very polite and patient. Been looking for this type of restaurant to be based in town where u can just sit with friends and have a peaceful meal. I will recommend to my friends and of course the food was great, thank youuuuuu 😑😙😊😚

    It was a wonderful experience and the food was good. I would definitely recommend that management extend the menu to offer sandwiches, wraps, fruit bowls, pastries and Fruit smoothies.

  • 5/5 Mona B. 4 years ago on Google
    What a beautiful spot for lunch! The food was delicious, the mint lemonade was SO refreshing and highly recommended! We all chose different things from the menu and all of it was delicious and the presentation was lovely. I highly recommend Josephine's Cafe for lunch or even just for a beverage and a snack. The ambiance is lovely. Plenty of shade and the flowers and plants were lovely.

  • 3/5 Aisha O. 4 years ago on Google
    Scenery was nice however food was pricey compared to other locations on the island providing the same menu. Also staff need to reduce the wait time between placing the order and when the food actually arrived.
