Tucked away in the Middle River Industrial Estate in Douglas, Green Island Coffee is one of those hidden gems that once discovered, quickly becomes a very firm favourite. Operating out of a modest yet charming food van, Green Island delivers big on flavour, friendliness, and the kind of comforting eats that make any day better.
Owned and run by the ever-welcoming Shabba, whose warmth and hospitality are well known among locals, Green Island Coffee is more than just a place to grab a bite—it’s a place where regulars are greeted with a smile, newcomers are instantly made to feel at home, and everyone leaves well-fed and in good spirits. Shabba’s commitment to fresh, cooked-to-order food and his positive energy help set the tone for this cheerful little spot.
The menu, while compact, is packed with hearty and satisfying options. Early risers and those working in the area love the breakfast muffins, loaded baps, and burritos—each one made fresh in front of you, hot off the griddle. Whether you’re craving a classic sausage and egg combo, crispy bacon with melted cheese, or something a bit spicier, Green Island’s morning offerings are perfect for fuelling your day.
Come lunchtime, the food van continues to serve up tasty options like juicy burgers, hot wraps, and a rotation of daily specials. Everything is made on-site and to order, so it’s as fresh and flavourful as it gets. There's nothing pre-packed or microwaved here—just good, honest food done right.
Despite its low-key setting, Green Island Coffee has gained a loyal following thanks to its consistently tasty meals, fast service, and of course, the unbeatable friendliness from Shabba himself. It’s the kind of place where you can have a casual chat while your food is being grilled, and where your order might be remembered if you’re a regular.
Though seating is limited, many customers grab their food to go, enjoying it back at the office, in their vehicles, or even perched outside on a sunny day. The vibe is simple and welcoming—there’s no fuss, just great coffee, great food, and a genuine community feel.
Whether you work nearby or are just passing through, Green Island Coffee is well worth the stop. For breakfast, lunch, or a coffee break, it’s a refreshing change from the high-street bustle—a humble food van with a big heart, serving up fresh, satisfying food and a generous helping of friendly island spirit.
