All About Café Ubé

Discover our story and find our about our history, our food, and our name.

Our story

We’ve been serving great food to tourists and islanders since the 1960s.

Born at the former Jersey Pottery in Gorey, our cafés started life as a coffee bar offering refreshments to factory visitors. We quickly became known for our fresh and tasty food, and our Jersey Pottery Cafés expanded into St Helier offering snacks, sandwiches, drinks and our tasty homemade soups to hungry office workers and tourists in the town centre.

Times change, and Jersey Pottery eventually switched focus from making plates, to filling plates with food. The ceramics factory and the original Jersey Pottery Café aren’t around any more, but Jersey Pottery’s sister company – JPRestaurants – now has more than ten outlets around the island. This includes our cafés, as well as Banjo, Oyster Box and Jersey Crab Shack restaurants.

Our name

As the world went digital, we realised we needed a new name. Customers searching for our soup menu online would stumble across the latest pottery range – and so, it was decided that Jersey Pottery Cafés had to change.

We wanted a name that reflects our local heritage, and we chose the name Café Ubé as a tribute to Mont Ubé dolmen in St Clement. Pronounced “ooh-bay”, we think it has a nice ring to it.

Café Ubé Today

At the Café Ubé of today, we pride ourselves on our fresh, tasty and local food. All of our café products are handmade in Jersey by our friendly team, and we know the provenance of every ingredient. Whether it’s homemade soups, salads, sandwiches, hot food, or freshly-blended juices: all of our food is lovingly made by hand, using only the best and most sustainable products.

Catering for those with allergies and food intolerances is important to us, and we do our best to meet as many dietary requirements as we can. All of our prepared foods are labelled with dietary information and allergens, and we have a full allergen menu available online.

We also now offer Click & Collect at all our locations – just order and pay with a few clicks, then collect at your chosen time and branch.

We also offer a digital Loyalty Card, which entitles you to receive points on every purchase you make at our cafés.
