Cafe Livin’ goes a little upscale

A brand new pergola shades the seating area at the tiny, but popular Cafe Livin’, next to High Tide in Cruz Bay.

And there is more to come. New tables and chairs are on the way, and owners Bill and Olivia plan an evening wine bar and tapas menu, to start in a couple of weeks.

“We’ll have all sorts of tapas,” says Olivia, “everything from duck wings to octopus. Bill has wanted to do this for a long time.”

Bill is an accomplished chef and anxious to get back to more upscale cooking.

Don’t worry. Cafe Livin’ plans no changes to its fast, affordable and hearty breakfast and lunch menus. Nice people. Check it out next visit.

    Cafe Livin has created a super inviting outdoor dining space. The design is attractive and functional. An incredible visual improvement to the entrance of Wharfside Landing and Village!

    This is our favorite place for breakfast. The food is tasty and it’s a great place to people watch and relax.

    Looks like a great place to get a break from the afternoon sun or a light rain…. sure is a lot better than the quarter inch coating of ice we woke to this morning.

    I have passed by many a time, but will be sure to stop in when I am back on-island in August. Sounds delicious and looks like a break from the usual spots we frequent.

    Loved to grab breakfast here on our honeymoon before we started the day. Looking forward to coming back in August

    Their breakfast sandwich is the best I’ve ever had. It’s amazing what comes out of their little kitchen. I’ll be at that order counter in 98 days…

    This is great! One of my favorite little spots for breakfast and lunch. No more playing musical chairs, trying to stay in the shade from the umbrella :) (Less than 6 weeks till were back on island.)
