A very nice and relaxing place to have a chill time while doing work as internet and power outlets are provided with adequate seating. The menu had a decent amount of things to choose from. The environment is nice and the food tastes very nice. The cafe can be a bit hard to locate though as you have to enter Kingston Bookshop Portmore before you gain access to the stairs that leads to this place.

This is my favorite cafe in portmore, it’s super affordable and very delicious and the food is always made on spot so it’s fresh and hot. This time around I got the bbq chicken quesadilla which was really good, tender grilled chicken drizzled in bbq sauce the smothered in melted cheddar inside a warm, fluffy but crispy on the edges tortilla. It was nothing short of amazing. The Oreo cheesecake? THE BEST IVE EVER HAD! I need not to say anymore. I also got the fruit smoothie which was was very refreshing, but I’ll give that an 7/10.

Script Café is Number One on my list of favorite place. Perfect for some alone time or time with friends or love ones while having awesome food.the Ambiance is so peaceful and gives you a different feeling, you have the option to dine on the balcony taking in the view aswell as the fresh air or dining inside watching the Tv or just getting some work done. Perfect place for a breakfast or lunch date.
