Footprints Cafe

Welcome to Footprints Café, Inc! Brooklyn’s Kitchen and Home of the Rasta Pasta!

In 2001, Robert “Bobby” Gordon opened Footprints Café, Inc.’s the first flagship restaurant presently located at 5814 Clarendon Road in the Canarsie section of Brooklyn. Robert, an immigrant pioneering businessman and entrepreneurial genius, who was born in the Caribbean Island of Jamaica, set out to serve the Brooklyn community and the New York City Metro Area with great-tasting, authentic, and popular Jamaican/Caribbean dishes like jerk chicken, curry goat, and oxtail, alongside the restaurant’s world-famous signature dish – Rasta Pasta.

Footprints Café Inc. is the official home of Rasta Pasta and proud owners of the Rasta Pasta Trademark and brand. Any unauthorized and unlicensed use is prohibited.

Over its twenty two (22) years history, FOOTPRINTS CAFÉ, Inc. has been featured in local newspapers like New York Carib News, Caribbean Life News and Caribbean Times News. The restaurant has also been featured on local Cable News stations like Brooklyn News 12 and recently America’s Best Restaurants.

The success of Footprints Cafe Clarendon led Robert to open a sister restaurant in the Coney Island neighborhood of Brooklyn in 2006, which is located at 1521 Surf Avenue – just a stone’s throw away from the world-famous Coney Island Amusement Park, Boardwalk and the MCU Park. With a delectable mix of international and Caribbean cuisine, exotic drinks, and great entertainment. This restaurant brings a taste of the Caribbean to Coney Island’s diverse and fast-growing community. Footprints Café Coney Island brings the CARIBBEAN RIGHT ON YOUR PLATE!

Footprints Café’s take-out facility, Footprints Cafe Express, opened right in the heart of the Caribbean immigrant community in the Flatbush/East Flatbush area of Brooklyn in 2013. It now rivals all local restaurants in the neighborhood with its very diverse and comprehensive menu, as well as its 5-star quality take-out food. It is also the off-site (and on-site) catering hub for the restaurant.

Footprints Nostrand was later opened in 2021, right in the heart of Bed-Stuy, an iconic area in Brooklyn and known for its Caribbean flare over the years. Footprints Nostrand boasts a delectable menu of its own, with “Caribbean comfort foods” such as Flatbreads, gourmet sandwiches, burgers and hand-crafted fries.
