MAPLEWOOD, NJ - iLand Breeze Café opened its doors on Saturday, March 20 to a flow of about 150 to 200 customers for their grand opening tasting event. And what a tasty event it was, with unique Caribbean dishes such as Calalloo stuffed chicken breast, jerk chicken pasta, pineapple chicken and so much more. The names of the dishes alone will make your palate water and wanting a taste of these exotic dishes.
Alton Henry and Avalia Moore have been partners for eight years and have more than 20 years of culinary experience between them. The duo has brought a taste of the Caribbean with a twist to Maplewood. Their passion for fresh food with unique taste was the driving force behind their idea to open the café. Henry and Moore pride themselves on being chefs who prepare fresh food to order and note that all their produce is organic.Moore specializes in pastries while Henry's forte is and Southern and Caribbean cuisine.
The two of them combined make a strong culinary force.The café offers dining in, take-out and catering. Henry and Moore also highlighted their "Trays to go" package. A full family meal starts from $19.99 that can feed a family of four to six. "Trays on the go" offer patrons a natural fresh food option instead of choosing fast food. As I visited the café, coconut and cranberry cookies were passed out to patrons as they waited for their orders.
The vibe of the café is light, laid back and comfortable, almost like a little café nestled in the Caribbean.
