Cook It Mama Cafe

We visited this great new addition to the neighborhood yesterday. Sidney was so nice and the food was fantastic. We shared nachos with jerk chicken and they were just the right comfort food with a kick that we needed. The pineapple lemonade drink was also very refreshing. Stop by to enjoy the bright murals as well as the food!

The tacos were absolutely delicious and the ambiance was cool, and the owner is a great person.

A cozy and inviting space! It was a little busy when we ordered, but everything smelled delicious while cooking so we didn't mind the wait. I ordered the jerk chicken salad and the salmon panini. It was so good, the salmon was juicy and the bread absorbed all that flavor. And the salad -oh man- was amazing. I've never had a salad with jerk chicken on top, but the combo was great; the salad greens and the veggies picked up the jerk seasoning from the chicken. It was so refreshing, spicy, and filling at the same time. When the spice built up, I dabbed a little ranch on my fork and kept eating. I will definitely come back to try the rest of the menu!

I’ve been wanting to try it for so long and I’m glad I was finally able to. I ordered a custom sandwich with jerk chicken, pepper Jack, spinach, and cucumbers. Super flavorful! Next time I think I’ll try the salmon panini. It’s nice to have a jerk spot in the neighborhood.

The food is delicious! I've had them in store as well as catering orders! Please support this small business! The owner is adorable!

The food is flavorful, spicy, and delicious!!!! The owner is very nice, her food is a great addition to the neighborhood. I work nearby and myself and 2 co-workers eat here at least 3 times a week!! Our favorite item is the nachos; however, we have tried the salad and panini-ALL THE FOOD IS SO GOOD. The prices are very reasonable, so you are getting great food at a very good price!! Please go try the food, you won’t be disappointed.

Her chicken is great: excellent flavor and some nice heat. Location is super cute and the painting she did on the outside matches the fun personality you deal with at the counter. Absolutely worth checking out, don’t sleep on her lemonade.

Literally just left here I love the service , the owner was so nice & patient with me . I love the atmosphere & the vibes over all the jerk chicken nacho was a 10/10 I’ll be back soon definitely

This was my first time visited this establishment. The young lady working there was very polite and well mannered.

I have a new favorite place to enjoy lunch! The jerk salad was sooooo good and fresh! The owner is so nice and made me feel welcome. Make sure you try the lemonade too! Yummy 😋

My old neighborhood now has some killer jerk chicken to add to Bridgeports claim to fame as one of the cities most diverse hoods- if you like Jerk style meats and this type of cuisine I’d categorize this spot as a “Can’t miss” . Very tasty but doesn’t melt your brain
