Welcome to your ultimate summer “Rum-cation”—no passport required.
Summer is officially here, and the heat is calling for one thing: a serious tropical escape. But if you can’t jump on a plane to the Caribbean right now, don’t worry. You can always afford a journey to Island Flavors and Tings! We are bringing the vibrant warmth, the sway of the music, and the authentic taste of the islands straight to you.
Escape the Ordinary with Authentic Island Flavors
At Island Flavors and Tings, we believe that food is more than just sustenance; it’s a destination. From our home base in Gulfport to our bustling spot at the St. Pete Pier, we serve up a tropical sanctuary built on Authentic Homestyle Meals and a deep love for true Jamaican culture. Our kitchen is alive with the savory aroma of slow-simmered spices, perfectly seasoned proteins, and traditional ingredients that map out a true flavor trip.
Whether you are stepping into our 3,000-square-foot Gulfport restaurant to dine and shop our Island Market, or grabbing a bite to enjoy while strolling down the St. Pete Pier, your tastebuds are in for a sun-soaked holiday.
The Stars of Your Summer “Rum-cation”
What is a proper summer getaway without the iconic tastes of the Caribbean? To fully immerse yourself in the “Rum-cation” spirit, here are the must-try stops on your culinary itinerary:
-
Our Legendary Rum Cakes: Golden, incredibly moist, and infused with rich, authentic flavor, our rum cakes are the undisputed crown jewel of the summer. Perfect for picking up at the St. Pete Pier or ordering online to bring the sunshine directly to your doorstep.
-
Fresh Made Juices: Cool down from the Florida sun with our vibrant, house-squeezed fresh juices. Looking for something a little extra “Instagrammable”? Try freezing our juices for colorful, ice spectacle that looks just as bright and tropical as it tastes!
-
Golden Jamaican Patties: Flaky, savory, and packed with traditional spices, our patties are the ultimate grab-and-go fuel for your summer beach days or midday office slumps.

Bold Multi-Ethnic Entrées: From classic jerk traditions to our signature multi-ethnic international fusion plates, we offer a variety of portion options to satisfy any appetite.
We Cooked So You Can Chill
Summer is meant for relaxation, spending time with family, and treating your friends like family. Stop spending your hot summer evenings hovering over a stove. Our guiding philosophy is simple: We Cooked So You Can Chill.
Let us handle the heavy lifting, the chopping, and the slow-cooking. Your only job is to sit back, unwind, enjoy the comforting ambiance, and let the flavors carry you away to a beachside paradise.
