Simply Yummy Suriname

A Foodie Adventure in Paramaribo!

Hey Story Time Foodies!

Get ready for a delicious adventure because today we're jet-setting (virtually, for now!) to Paramaribo, Suriname, and diving headfirst into a cafe that's a true hidden gem: Simply Yummy Suriname! If you're looking for unique eats, a cozy atmosphere, and an all-around delightful experience, then you absolutely have to add this spot to your travel foodie bucket list.😋😍

Imagine stepping into a cafe that feels less like a bustling eatery and more like a serene, sun-drenched library. From the moment I walked in, I was captivated by the elegant white interior, the gentle murmur of a charming fountain, and shelves upon shelves of books creating an atmosphere that just screams cozy and inviting. There's even a special dining area with a large table, perfect for groups and intimate gatherings. And for an extra touch of cuteness, a fluffy teddy bear sits on a couch, with a clever "window" in the wall behind it that gives you a peek into the private dining area and another bookshelf. It's truly a feast for the eyes before you even get to the food!

Now, let's talk about the stars of the show: the food and drinks! Simply Yummy Suriname isn't your average cafe. They've perfectly blended Asian influences with innovative twists, offering everything from refreshing boba tea and creamy milk tea to intriguing cheesy drinks, mochi, and sushi. But what truly caught my eye (and taste buds!) were their tacos. Yes, tacos! You might be surprised to find them alongside sushi, but trust me, it works.🍣

I'm always up for trying new things, and their menu boasts unique options like eel tacos and shrimp tacos. I decided to go for the shrimp taco, and folks, let me tell you, it was a revelation! It wasn't a traditional taco at all. It was like a giant piece of sushi, with a fresh seaweed shell instead of a tortilla. Inside, it was packed with rice, perfectly cooked shrimp, and delicious sauces. The combination of textures and flavors was incredible! It was my first time trying a shrimp taco like this, and it certainly won't be my last! I've been back a few times since that first visit, trying different drinks on their menu, but nothing has won my heart quite like their taro mochi milk tea. It has real mochi pieces right in the drink, giving you the perfect chewy surprise in every sip.

But the charm of Simply Yummy Suriname doesn't stop at the delicious food and beautiful decor. Oh no. They have two of the most adorable cafe mascots you could ever hope to meet! I immediately made friends with their fluffy, fat white dog.🐶 He was so social and sweet, just soaking up all the attention. They also have a cute hairless dog, who, while a little more reserved, still pranced around the cafe like he owned the place.🐕 These furry friends just add to the welcoming, warm vibe of the place.

Located in Paramaribo Noord, Simply Yummy Suriname is a must-visit for anyone looking to explore the incredible culinary diversity of Suriname. It’s more than just a cafe; it’s an experience that tantalizes your taste buds, soothes your soul, and offers a glimpse into the vibrant, multicultural tapestry of this amazing country.
