Le Jardin Caraïbe was founded by Alicia Charles with one heartfelt mission: to bring the warmth, flavour, and creativity of French Creole Caribbean cuisine to the London food scene. Inspired by her roots and years of family tradition, Alicia set out to create a space where food becomes a bridge—connecting cultures, memories, and people. Based in Abbey Wood, Southeast London, our business specialises in high-quality, handcrafted dishes made from scratch. Each recipe reflects a blend of island soul and French culinary elegance, honouring Alicia’s heritage while embracing modern taste.

Exotic Honey-Glazed Coconut & Fruit Bread
A soft slice of the Caribbean—moist, fragrant, and unforgettable.
Indulge in a truly unique Creole-inspired delight that brings the warmth of the islands to your plate. This handcrafted bread is made with generous amounts of dried coconut, gently folded into a moist, tender crumb infused with a medley of sun-ripened tropical fruits— think pineapple, mango, and golden raisins. Each bite is elevated with a harmonious blend of traditional Caribbean spices such as nutmeg, cinnamon, and a hint of clove.
Finished with a luscious honey glaze that locks in moisture and adds a subtle caramelised shine, this exotic loaf is as beautiful as it is flavourful.
Whether served warm or cold, this treat is wonderfully versatile—pair it with a scoop of creamy vanilla ice cream, drizzle it with warm icing sugar syrup, or pour over velvety custard for a truly blissful experience that satisfies both the sweet tooth and the soul.

Exotic Coconut Bread
A smooth, mellow loaf with a Caribbean soul.
Our Exotic Coconut Bread is a comforting twist on a classic loaf—soft, creamy, and infused with the gentle richness of real dried coconut. Each slice offers a subtly sweet flavour, evoking the warmth of tropical mornings and the aroma of slow, homestyle baking.
This isn’t your everyday bread. It’s moist, mellow, and slightly decadent—perfectly balancing simplicity with the lush texture of shredded coconut. Whether toasted with a pat of butter, enjoyed plain with tea, or served as a soft base for tropical fruit spreads, this loaf brings sunshine to every bite.
1 lb Loaf £10
2 lb Loaf £12
Warm, wholesome, and undeniably satisfying, it’s a versatile favourite that pairs beautifully with both sweet and savoury moments.
