3 Square Meals In Kingston

Where to Eat When Cooking Feels Too Hard

Whether it’s life getting in the way, or you just have a hankering for “road food”, sometimes cooking is the farthest thing from your mind. We can debate the feasibility of buying groceries vs eating out another time, but for now we’ve got you covered with ideas for what to grab next time your kitchen is giving you war flashbacks.


1. Starbucks Jamaica

A good cup of coffee can help you get through even the Monday-est Mondays.

The cinnamon dolce latte from Starbucks is subtly sweet and reminiscent of a holiday cookie. It’s even delicious with oatmilk if you’re looking for a non-dairy option. Pair with a toasty, gooey and deliciously simple bacon gouda breakfast sandwich.

With locations popping up all over the island, you’re sure to find one that can be your respite on a busy morning.


2. Cafe Dolce

It’s lunchtime and you can go with something reliable and quick like a patty and coco bread…or you can make lunchtime count while getting a change of scenery at Cafe Dolce. You can take a break at any of their sleek and cozy locations while you grab a Mexican salad – a fresh and filling option for midday pickings.

Not a two-cuppa-day kinda person? Their guava lemonade is super refreshing and made for people who like tart and sweet. Still, you may or may not want to ask for extra ice. 


3. The Haven @ Hillcrest

After sitting in bumper to bumper traffic for who knows how long, standing over a hot stove can feel extra difficult. Luckily, places like The Haven @ Hillcrest are perfectly situated to pull us away from the neverending lines and incessant honking.

For dinner, you can’t go wrong with a classic like crispy fried chicken, shelly rice and peas and some fresh raw veg.

Treat yourself with an amaretto sour, and if you’re adventurous, kick it up a notch with an added shot of Campari. 


The best thing about all these places is that you can find options for different dietary needs, meal times, and budgets. So, next time the hunger comes calling, don’t even stress!
