    Had a chance to experience The Water and the Elephant restaurant vibe🤩 Honestly speaking the food was stunning, aroma and the taste is literally mouthwatering. House breakfast was recommended by the manager Mr.Kiran, he even helped us to choose the best food from the whole menu. Thank you Mr.Kiran and team for all the support Will be back on next December for our next vacation

    Great little place with indoor and outdoor seating. Food and drinks were great! Shame that their breakfast items didn't go past 11am on weekdays. You have to try the donuts!!

    Something special! I got the chicken sandwich with a cappuccino and it was absolutely divine! I’ll be taking every opportunity to have lunch here again ASAP! Staff are super nice too

    Hands down my favourite place to go for good quality coffee & delicious lattes. The staff are friendly and always greet you with a smile. It can get really busy in there during peak times & you have to wait a bit longer but the staff handle it well. My only complaint is the lack of gluten-free options as I would love to try some more of their food options. I tend to go for eggs & bacon or their scallion omelette - all very tasty- but, even just having a gluten free bread would open up the menu so much for us gluten-intolerant people. That being said, I am willing to pop a couple of digestive enzymes and take the risk for their delicious donuts. My favorite are the cheesecake flavored ones, the best being the apple pie cheesecake donut. It is perfection!

    A must try even though this place won’t offer local cuisine but surely amazing food from all locally grown produce. The flavors were delicious. Surely recommend to visit once for breakfast if you’re on the island.

    Really nice spot with great food. Was actually pretty filling and their tomato jam has a unique taste. We also tried their donuts which other customers were fighting to get, they were good too. We sat outside and it wasn't too hot for the time of day.

    My wife & I went twice on our visit, that’s how great it was! Great coffee, food, and pastries! On weekends it was a little crowded inside but on the weekday it was great. The employees were delightful people. Would recommend! It’s also across the street from the Cayman Island Farmers Market, if you’re looking to get some local products before or after.

    We all get into habits of places to go in Cayman. Glad I was introduced to this place. Quiet, great coffee and good breakfast choices.

  • 5/5 Sara M. 1 year ago on Google
    We had their chai latte and their caramel latte and both were great! Their chai latte is unsweetened but even still super good - you can add sweetener if you don’t care for it that way. They were kind enough to serve us and allow us to sit a chat a minute when we accidentally arrived right as they closed and didn’t realize it. It’s an open atmosphere with sunshine streaming in. The bakery items looked incredible too!

    Great coffees and service; love sitting outside and watch the planes land.

  • 5/5 Joe H. 1 year ago on Google
    Fantastic coffee and really nice selection of cakes and other sweets, with a good few vegan options too.

  • 5/5 Marine De C. 3 years ago on Google
    Loved the coffee, the best almond croissant in George Town -KY so far! Great customer service. I d definitely recommend to try.

  • 5/5 Darcie DH K. 4 years ago on Google
    Best cold brew on island, so far. Cozy place. Bad straws. Higher priced cold brew.

  • 5/5 Joseph D. 4 years ago on Google
    The pour over is the main reason I come here. The cookies are the other! Great pastries and a nice out side patio with a convenient location. The service is slow but if you plan for that it’s not a bad thing. Parking is a little chaotic.

  • 1/5 Daria Z. 1 year ago on Google
    Very frustrating service. As a family of 3 we cannot order 7 donuts!! They allow to order only 6 donuts per person or family! So every single person can have six and family also can have only six🤯🤯🤯🤯

    This was the very first place I went to in Cayman... I remember until today how pleasant it felt - and I am not even a coffee drinker. Service - 10 Food - 10 Location - 7 Staff - 1000 (smily, kind and friendly) Pricy, very pricy, but super worth it! Annnnd it is the only place you'll find freshly roasted grinded coffee and latte art. The barista should earn a lot more! This is rare to find here! Thank you! Great place!

    It's nice and light inside. Staff friendly but found the service to be really slow. Not sure what size coffee my wife ordered but it seemed a small cup - chances are she wouldn't have ordered me a small! As far as seen no gluten free options available. Kids loves their freshly squeezed orange juice. The panda on my coffee was pretty cool!

👍 I enjoyed really great lattes at Cafe del Sol almost daily. I tried the Breve, and it was delish! Staff was friendly, and the pastries/sandwiches were fine. It's a popular place but there was also seating upstairs. I only went to the location on Seven Mile Beach.
