Salad Island Cafe

I almost let grief win, but God brought justice in my baby case 7 days before Christmas! 1st Degree Murder! Detained and Zero Bond! I appreciate everyone who has supported me and prayed for me…Yes, it’s tough after you have invested so much into your son and he grew up to be a optimistic, purposeful and powerful young man! Only for his life was senselessly taken over nothing by a person who has absolutely nothing! It stings, but I must keep going as he would want me to do! I have so many memories and pictures to cherish for a lifetime!
Spring 2026 I’m coming back stronger!

Please feel free to inbox me in the meantime for any questions, future orders or just to drop an encouraging message

For the vision is yet for an appointed time;
But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie.Though it tarries, wait for it;
Because it will surely come,
It will not tarry. Habbakuk 2:3

IT SHALL COME TO PASS 🙌🏾💙🦾

3 weeks without my baby 💔 He was a big asset to my business…I loved when he popped up to check on me or just stopped by to help me out…He loved my Peach Mango Smoothie and always made himself one when he walked in 😂
I won’t ever forget you KJ 😢

I’m sorry to announce that Salad Island Cafe will be permanently closed until further notice. My oldest son was murdered on Wednesday night. It’s funny that I sent him these pictures shortly before he was murdered and wrote “generational wealth” One day I will be able to carry on, but right now I need time. He was my son, my protector, my right hand man, my smoothie maker and drinker (lol), one of my favorite and best employees etc. Please keep me, his children, my family and everyone who loved him in your prayers 💔💔💔 Such a good kid gone too soon 🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺😢😢😢😢
