Jessie’s Juice Bar

Jessie’s Juice Bar is a favorite among locals and tourists alike. Located in Camana Bay, it’s proximity to one of the main parking lots makes it super easy to access. As the name suggests Jessie’s serves healthy smoothie options. They also have savory dishes available and a full coffee bar. Happiness radiates from the bubbly atmosphere.

George Town Yacht Club

Breakfast Service: Sat & Sun, 8:30 am - 11:30 am
Location: George Town (Airport Area) | Map It

George Town Yacht Club only serves breakfast on Saturday & Sundays, but they have quite the spread of options. The menu boasts many savory items, pancakes and more. We love that they feature the local favorite Ackee & Salt Cod. If you haven’t had ackee before, it's from a fruit grown on island and when cooked has a consistency similar to scrambled eggs. Mixed with the salt fish it’s very tasty.
