“ One of the best beef burger in town (in addition to Garden Grille near La Busola). They cook their own beef patties! Surprisingly no french fries. But that's okay. Their hash brown is even better. No Starbucks or Coffee Bean on the island??! No problem. Cafe Bella is the second best thing. I've tried their iced coffee and cappuccino. Both were absolutely delicious. Chocolate cake was not so good, though, as it lacked the chocolate essence to it. It tasted more like a diet chocolate cake. Might as well enjoy a tiny one from Epicurean (grocery store). Chicken soup flavor was decent, but a tad salty. Don't expect too much from their customer service. There are good days and bad days. Regardless, this is the closest Starbucks-like joint you'll get on the island with surprisingly great meals. The only downside, they close 4 PM daily and all day Sundays. Cafe Bella is near Epicurean (grocery store), movie theater, Harpers (office supplies), Home Depot -like store (next door) and more. Menu images taken June 3rd, 2017 (breakfast image a little blurry). They have daily specials, i.e. shrimp plate. My friend who loves shrimp enjoyed hers. You can call to order ahead only. No deliveries, even through QuickServe (you can check them out on Facebook or download the app (less restaurant options through the app). Cash and credit card accepted. ”
