Nice place to look at memorabilia
This place is super special. Run by the good people of Gingerbread Hill just down the road, here you will not only find great food, coffee, and strawberry guava juice, but an entire museum dedicated to the special time when Montserrat was a hotbed of musical production. The long destroyed AIR studios Montserrat must have been amazing creative center back in the day. Relive a piece of that here at Hilltop Coffee House.
Love this place. Waffle Saturday is a must. The owners are so friendly and knowledgeable about the island.😎
music history kept alive with love and care by an exquisite family
To start, the coffee house is like a museum of the island. It has records from Elton John, Jimmy Buffet, the Beatles, and of course, Arrow. The establishment also has tables from Air Studios, Interesting artifacts from Plymouth, and local artwork on display. A timeline of the volcano is also present. The proprietor of Hilltop, David Lea, was instrumental in photographing and recording the eruption in 1990's. The coffee was great, and the atmosphere is nice. A must stop for any visitor or tourist of this amazing island.
P.S. get the Belgian waffles!
Went for waffle day on Saturday. Food is good and the strawberry guava juice was excellent. It's decorated with historical pictures and items from the island, including old signs from businesses that existed before the volcanic eruptions and items from Air Studio Montserrat.
Kind of neat, great pics of the island during the erruption in the 90s. Pop in for a coffee but not much else to do as a tourist. I'm sure you could rustle up a conversation with the locals but we were with a tour group so the experience was short.
