Bluejay Café: Caribbean Roots, Community Vibes & Celebrity Brekkie
Welcome to Bluejay Café, a vibrant family-run restaurant nestled in the heart of South Norwood, London UK.
Specialising in authentic Caribbean cuisine with a unique fusion twist, Bluejay blends the rich culinary traditions of West Indian, Amerindian, European, East Indian, and Chinese cultures. Founded by Joy and Dave, the café is known for its fresh, healthy, and affordable dishes—many of which are vegan—crafted with love and care.
More than just a place to eat, Bluejay has become a thriving community hub, attracting locals and celebrities alike, including Stormzy, Dave, and Will Zahar. A standout favourite is the Big Mike Brekkie, created in honour of Stormzy himself.
In today’s episode, we’re in conversation with co-founder Joy, who shares the heart and soul behind Bluejay Café, what inspires its bold flavours especially its breakfasts, and how this humble eatery continues to stand out from the crowd in one of London’s most diverse and dynamic neighbourhoods.
