"Sweet Temptations A stop for breakfast at Rock Island Coffee, in the heart of Hamilton, is the fastest way for any visitor to find out what is happening on the island—everyone has time to share tips on how you should spend your vacation. The inviting, laid back café is hung with works by local artists. It has been famous, since opening in 1995, for serving one of the island’s best cups of coffee (they have their own roasting room). Don’t miss the incredible baked goods as well, with brownies, scones, muffins, and more all baked by Kerry Petty in the downstairs kitchen. “All walks of life come here,” Joy says. “And the baristas know everything going on in Bermuda .” Sponsored by The Bermuda Tourism Authority"
Great little coffee shop! You can get a variety of lattes and coffee drinks and pastries and they gave my husband a cup of ice for his water. The coffee was excellent! They roast their own beans so we were able to get some to bring home. N.B., it is CASH ONLY, so come prepared!

Great coffee cafe that’s tucked away in a leafy street just a block away from bustling Front Street.
There’s a nice airy and spacious seating area with air conditioning and Wi-Fi.
Service is very friendly and the coffee is good. No latte art, but it was very good!
They also sell cookies & sweet treats .
Payment is cash only.

My experience with rock island was incredible. The staff was knowledgeable and provided one of the best iced Americanos on the island.

Enjoyed my quick stop in here before I left for the airport! Had an ice coffee and their Nutella pound cake. Both were good on a balmy Bermudian morning. WiFi was a bit slow but the charm of the space and the owner + people working there made up for it. Lots of different people coming through to read, catch up, and lots of folks seeing friendly faces.

Cute, eclectic place with solid coffee options. Prices are also reasonable considering the fact that it's Bermuda (everything carries a premium because it's all imported). Well worth the stop-in for caffeine recharge and it seemed popular with locals and tourists alike. As other reviewers have noted (and is also common on the island) it's CASH ONLY.

Cosy café with a vintage feel. Great selection of loose teas and a short but sweet coffee menu. Prices are very reasonable and staff is extremely friendly. Baked treats look good but they run out fast and aren't replaced, so be quick in the morning!
Inside you'll find a few wobbly tables and mix n match chairs. Clientele seem to be an odd bunch. Its also a hotspot for young mothers with babies so don't come here to work if you're looking for somewhere to focus.
There's WiFi but it's not stable enough for streaming anything. Overall, it's worth a visit, especially when you're in the mood for a comfy spot and a nice drink.
