MOD Coffee & Tea is where locals post up with a laptop or grab cold brew before exploring the Strand. It’s the island’s living room: mismatched chairs, a shaded garden patio out back, and baristas who pull real espresso instead of dessert-in-a-cup.
What it costs: Coffee $3–7, breakfast tacos and pastries under $10. Cheapest quality caffeine downtown.
When to go: Mornings before the Strand wakes up — you’ll beat the day-trippers and the pastry case is full. Wifi is solid if you need to pretend to work on vacation.
Who it’s for: Remote workers, cruise passengers killing pre-boarding hours (the terminal is a short walk), anyone whose hotel coffee committed crimes.
When to skip: If you need a big hot breakfast — this is coffee-and-a-bite territory. Walk to Sunflower for the full plate.
