Curaçao and the Caribbean

The capital city of Curaçao, Willemstad, became a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1997. Its yellow, orange and blue Dutch colonial buildings welcome the approximately 200 cruise ships that glide directly through downtown and tie up at the city’s busy port. The island’s cosmopolitan residents are multicultural and multilingual. Most speak four languages – English, Spanish, Dutch and their native Papiamento.

But agriculture – coffee culture – is totally foreign to this island of dry desert scrub. Nature reveals itself only to divers and snorkelers, who travel to Curaçao for its coral reef and colorful sea life. So we are proud to introduce the experience of gourmet coffee to this great island. And we are thrilled to see tourists fall in love with our coffee, chocolates, nuts and gifts.

There has truly been a melding of different cultures in this spectacular Dutch Caribbean jewel, and Café Britt is now an islander!
