Taste of The Caribbean | Our Story
Where Caribbean tradition feeds a community
Taste of the Caribbean started with four friends, a shared love of island cooking, and a belief that food is best when it brings people together. Nearly twenty years later, that belief still drives everything we do.
How we started
Four friends came together in 2004 over a love of Caribbean cooking and planted the seed for something special. Lorraine Newton took ownership in 2006 and has guided Taste of the Caribbean ever since, building it into a cornerstone of Capitol Heights.
The food
Oxtails, curry chicken with roti, jerk, doubles — every dish made from scratch, generous portions, built on island tradition.
A gathering place
We've catered the milestones that matter — birthdays, baby showers, weddings. The Taste Lounge keeps that same spirit alive with live music and weekly events.
Two locations, one mission
From Capitol Heights to Patapsco Flea Market in Baltimore — same recipes, same care, same warm welcome at both spots.
