Cafe Lucaya

Tower building, on the corner of water street and the Strand, is the home too a new coffee shop. What was once an old banking area for the building is now Lucaya (say "look higher" without the h), a large, airy space with huge windows overlooking Water Street and which is accessed through the main entrance. Lucaya is the little sister of the well-loved Rococo Coffee House on Lord street, but the decor, ambiance and menu is all new. Eat downstairs, or take food upstairs to the mezzanine, where you can keep an eye on the people below! Anyone who has holidayed in the Bahamas may know that Lucaya is the name of an area of the largest town, Freeport, on the Grand Bahama Island. No tropical temperatures or golden beaches here though, the only echo of distant shores is the name and a proliferation of large palms. The famous Rococo friendliness, atmosphere and customer care are just as evident here, under the excellent direction of the dynamic duo, Barbqra and Silvia, and their staff.
