Our Story
Like many before us we migrated to the US from Puerto Rico in 2015. Left everything we knew for a new beginning and to pursue a better future for our growing family. Although this journey has been one of growth and blessings it has also been one of difficult times and struggles. We miss our families and friends but also the little things of Puerto Rico that makes that place so special. Puerto Rico is a place of community and unity and everywhere you go you are surrounded by the beach but also surrounded by the best food. “Frituras” “pinchos”, hot dogs, burgers and more! Although there is great culinary diversity in the Triad we couldn’t find Puerto Rican Style food near us. A dream was born soon after, we can’t bring the beach to the Triad but we can bring the food! Lamb Island Cafe is that dream coming through for us. It is us sharing a piece of home with our new family and community here in NC! Our mission is to bring the cuisine commonly found on the island to North Carolina, serving not only the many Puerto Ricans living in the Triad and NC in general but also the wonderfully diverse communities that call this state home. The name Lamb Island goes back to the main element of the Coat of Arms of Puerto Rico that features the Lamb of God, a representation of our culture and our faith that we are proud to share with you.
