Coral Café – History in a Cup
Said to be the first café on the island, Coral Café is a nostalgic stop that blends caffeine with a bit of island history.

They serve Illy coffee—smooth, reliable, and just the right kind of comforting on a slow island morning. on the wall hangs a full-size movie poster of Le Grand Bleu. I am French and That thing has amazed me since the first day I stepped in. If you know, you know.

The coffee hits the spot, the desserts are legit, and the whole space feels like it was made for slow afternoons and spontaneous conversations.
