Blue’s Bites & Lounge: A Seaside Escape with Coffee, Music, and Vibes
Driving down First Avenue in Corozal, a conspicuous sign catches my eye high in the sky. The promise of coffee on the seaside led Google Maps to guide me to a cozy little place; the last stop before the end of the day.
The Ambience
The place is a little triangle on the seaside tucked between the main street and a larger building. The bottom part houses a coffee and food shop with inviting outdoor seating beneath some trees and directly facing the sea and the breeze that comes with it.
If you want an island vibe on the mainland, this is the place.
An upstairs lounge promises a late evening vibe with the same perspective of the sea. The coffee shop opens its doors in the afternoon, while the lounge welcomes guests a little later in the evening.
The Experience
As I find myself a table, the sound of salsa music fills the air, creating a lively and vibrant atmosphere. The friendly staff adds to the positive vibe of the place. The owner, hailing from Turkey, brings a unique touch with a warm accent and genuine friendliness.
Chill vibe, friendly staff, quite relaxed music, and good ambient.
The seaside location provides a refreshing experience, with a gentle breeze and the rhythmic sound of waves that added good energy to already nice music.
The Coffee
Opting for an affogato instead of the usual hot caramel latte, I am treated to a delightful combination of rich espresso over velvety vanilla ice cream.
No waiters, no problem!
The absence of waiters for self-service doesn't hinder the experience; in fact, it adds a sense of casual charm. To complement the coffee, I decided to try the shrimp ceviche, and I am not disappointed.
The Roundup
As the sun drops out of the sky, the cool Caribbean breeze swirls around the trees as I sit sipping my affogato and enjoying my ceviche. I can’t help but think that returning later in the night would be a fantastic idea.
The ideal place to kickstart an evening, with good coffee and the potential for some nighttime relaxation.
With the promise of good vibes and friendly staff, Blue’s Bites & Lounge is a must-visit destination for coffee enthusiasts looking for a memorable seaside experience.
