No, don't worry. Quaint, cozy Harbour Island remains quaint and cozy, with no signs of American franchises. Well, except one. Locals Ryan and Gem Austin recently opened Cocoa, a Starbucks-infused coffeehouse. Located across the street from the iconic Valentines Resort, Cocoa opened one month ago, shortly after Starbucks coffee and espresso machines arrived from Italy. Yep, they're serving the real deal, along with free WiFi. So if you need a nudge to get beyond Nassau, know that Harbour Island has your morning fix. Follow Cocoa on Twitter @cocoainbriland.
