Reportedly the home of the best cup of coffee on the island (if not the world), this modest spot is a 14-year-old favorite among locals. The fireplace is in use often during the winter (it’s considerably colder at 4,200 feet), making the tiny place feel even homier. Have a homemade pastry or try the crab cakes with mango salsa and a Red Stripe, then sit back at one of the little wooden tables and enjoy the brisk highland air and awesome views.

Tip: Pop into Alex Twyman’s Old Tavern Coffee Estate nearby, where you can wander the grounds and buy a bag of genuine Blue Mountain beans to take home.
