I stopped in to Cafe De Novo on a whim for lunch on a Saturday afternoon. This is one of the few…read morerestaurants open in downtown Middletown for lunch on Saturdays, it seems. Cafe De Novo sells "Jamaican & American" food. You can get a burger anywhere, so I don't see why you would order that here. While I don't know much about Jamaican food, I have had jerk chicken before so that's what I ordered. A small portion cost $6.50 and came with 3 pieces of dark meat chicken, rice with beans and some fried plantains. At first bite, it was immediately obvious this was the best (and probably most authentic) jerk chicken I've ever had. The seasoning might be too spicy for some, but I think it was just right. You got a lot of heat without it being overwhelming. Rice and beans helped put out the fire. Service (at least during lunch) was similar to a pizza place. You order at the counter, and then your food is brought out to you. From the time we ordered, the food was in front of us about 5 minutes later. Unexpectedly, it was served on a normal ceramic plate with metal utensils. This makes me assume they offer more traditional table service later in the day. The lady behind the counter was very nice and smiley. She was clearly proud to be serving this food. I immediately felt like a valued customer. Cafe De Novo is a very welcomed addition to downtown Middletown.

I've been going here since they opened. Their jerk chicken is wonderful (but if you don't like…read morespicy food get something else) & I love the homemade ginger beer. Good patties too.

Customer service could be improved drastically, time waiting on food could be reduced, loss of…read morecustomers could be reduced.. all it takes is for one of the employees to come to the front to help package the food. Eddys in Newburgh would never watch several customers leave because of wait time and one customer service person serving food. They would have had 1 or 2 more people come help out. But that's my opinion and as of Saturday June 7, 2025 10:55am I probably won't visit Yaadstyle for another 365 days. The lack of urgency is beyond me.

In the past, our takeout orders came in larger round containers with plenty left over to enjoy the next day. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case this time. The portions have noticeably shrunk. As you can see in the photo, the container holding the leftover chicken wings is tiny--only two wings fit inside--and the drunken noodles were packed in an equally small container. The portion was significantly less than what we've always received. It's disappointing to see a restaurant we have enjoyed for years reduce portion sizes while charging the same prices. If costs have increased, we'd rather see a slight price increase than feel like portions are being cut to save money. We hope this was a one-time issue because we've always enjoyed your food, but this experience was very disappointing.

He found this restaurant and I was so excited to try it! We both ordered the same dinner plate which was yellow rice and beans, collard greens, sweet plantains, and fried whiting. It was delicious, the collard greens were a little spicy which we love (meatless), the rice and beans were fluffy and mildly seasoned, the fried fish was perfect not too salty or hard it was meaty and flavorful! Let's touch on the service. As soon as I entered I was greeted by the owner. She kept me up to date on the status of my order and was very polite. To add to this experience, the inside appearance is spotless and clean which is a plus for me. Give it a try and support local businesses, you won't be disappointed!
