Sometimes Travel Should Start Slowly

Not every memorable food experience needs to happen at night.
Some of the best travel moments happen over coffee, breakfast, and deciding where the day goes next.

James has built a reputation in Curaçao as one of those places travelers discover and wish they had visited earlier in their trip.

Known for brunch, coffee, juices, and an atmosphere that feels easy to settle into, James offers a different side of Curaçao than the beach clubs and nightlife.

The experience feels less rushed and more intentional—whether you’re starting a beach day, recovering after a late night, or simply enjoying conversation over breakfast.

Traveler notes highlighted:

• Excellent brunch experience
• Strong coffee program
• Fresh juices
• Pancakes worth ordering

What makes James fit The Modern Green is that it reminds travelers that discovery doesn’t only happen at night.
Sometimes local rhythm starts in the morning.

Travel Tip:
Go earlier in the day and give yourself time to stay. This feels more like a slow morning than a quick breakfast stop.
