Bad Ass Java - West End

 This is a great place for all you coffee lovers.  They have a bunch of different coffee drinks and they sell their own roasted coffee for $16 a lb.    I don't drink coffee so the only reason we tried this place is Greg won a free lunch there.  He received a drink, sandwich and dessert from a radio contest.  Funny thing about the sandwich  - they only have 1 Yes that's right - 1 (ONE) sandwich.  It's a Panini and you have your choice of 1 meat and one cheese for $8.  You can add on extra meat for another $2 - I would recommend this.  The sandwich comes with meat, cheese and a mayo/pesto sauce.  That's it.  No lettuce, tomatoes or anything else. Greg said his iced coffee was good. Here is our Panini Sandwiches - we both ordered bacon: They have several different desserts from Carrot Cake, brownies and their homemade icecream.  They have 7 different flavors.  I forgot to take a picture of the menu, but they have a ...

Eldon's Grocery Store in Roatan

Image
 Before I moved here, I kept trying to find out information on grocery stores and the price of gas ($2.50 a gallon).  What I found out is:  There are 2 Eldon's grocery store and another grocery store I haven't been to and can't remember the name. Eldon's is a typical old fashioned grocery store.  They carry almost everything you need.  They have their generic brand called Essence - which is reasonably priced.  They carry small household appliances - but they are more expensive than Walmart.  We had to buy a coffee pot today for our little rental room and the least expensive one was $24.  They have your regular drugstore products - soaps, shampoos, bandaids that type of stuff, plus hair dye and straighteners. I'll describe the pictures: Donuts and pastries - the donuts are a little over $1 each. Meats and cheese at good prices, the ham we had was $4.40 a lb.  They have a wide variety of meats and cheeses that they will cut in chunks or slice f...

Roatan Famous Conch Fritters - Dixon Cove/Brick Bay

Image
 The sign is on the main road, but I could never figure out where the restaurant was located until I drove behind the building in front and there it was!  Cute little restaurant.  It's an outdoor location right on the water.  You have a side view of the harbor and a great view of the bay.   Of course we had to try the fitters, so Greg ordered the Fritter plate ($10) and I ordered the fish finger plate ($9).  The fritter plate came with 6 fritters, plantains and pico de gallo.  We substituted french fries with plantains.  The fish plate came with 5 pieces of fish, coleslaw and french fries.  That was the best battered fish I have had on the island.  The batter was very flakey and fish was cooked perfectly.  The food was soooo good that I was surprised when we arrived at 11:45 and were the only people eating.  No one else showed up at lunch time.  It might have something to do with $3 for a soda.  We will definitel...
