By far, the best choice for groceries out on the east end. Prices are about 25% higher than Plaza…read moreExtra or others, but you're paying for convenience. This place has everything you'll need to make tacos, kick off your bar for the week (beer and rum prices are good), make spaghetti, salad, whatever. Produce prices are pretty steep, but they have most everything and I was happy with the freshness. They even had some endive(!). If you ignore the price premium for location, then this is a pretty dang good market. I'm sorely tempted to remove a star for price, but the staff friendliness makes up for it. If you have a detailed bulk list to accomplish, then it's worth heading west of Christensted to a bigger market (we were really happy with Plaza Extra). But if you just need a dinner or two, or some quick stuff, then you'd be hard pressed to do better.

The grocery stores are lacking in the produce dept so make sure to stop by to grab some fresh fruit and veggies. I also saw a few Amish goods... odd...

I was lucky enough to attend a "slow down" rehearsal dinner at Ridge to Reef and it was truly an…read moreunforgettable experience. The owners, Nate and Shelly, were so welcoming. Shelly gave everyone a tour of the farm and was so knowledgeable about the local plants and history. Nate introduced each of the six courses, all made with locally grown and raised ingredients. The food was fresh and flavorful, shout-out to Chef Mike. We ate and drank on the outdoor deck under the stars and ended with a bonfire in a repurposed buoy. Definitely an island treasure that is worth the trip into the rainforest.

The "slow down" farm to table dinner was the worst meal, worst wine, and maddeningly slow. Food…read morewas awful. Wine was worse -- home made nonsense and very very expensive. The owners while sincere were only interested in positive reinforcement from their friends while oblivious to many who were actually uncomfortable. Nearly impossible to get there unless you have a four-wheeler, the trip (on a small island) took forever. Arrived at 5:30 excited about the rain forest experience, only to realize that everyone had byob'd, and we didn't know. An hour later, a man showed up with a cooler selling bottles of wine (6oz) for $10, for his homemade wine. It was terrible. By 10pm, we finally received our entree, and it was inedible. Do yourself a favor, don't be lured by the romance -- not worth it.

Wasn't planning to visit a café on Culebra, but this one ended up being a highlight of my trip. We…read morewere looking for a quick breakfast stop, but the moment I stepped inside, I knew this place was special. D's Garden isn't just a café--it's a little oasis, blending a plant shop, fresh produce market, and the coziest smoothie/coffee bar all in one. Wandering through the different rooms, I found everything from tropical plants to locally grown fruit. It's clear this place is lovingly cared for--the staff is warm, the space is tidy, and every corner is thoughtfully laid out. It was the kind of place that makes you want to slow down, stay awhile, and soak it all in. If you ever find yourself in Culebra, this is one spot you don't want to miss!

We ended up at D's and had sandwich wraps and smoothies, very fresh and in a lovely setting. You can also pick up some groceries (better quality than the other grocery stores) like veggies, guacamole, condiments etc.

Last evening, I was sold a moldy bag by Vendors Plaza!…read more It wasn't until later when I opened it that I noticed there was a pungent "petting zoo" smell. I eventually figured out it was mold and it had gotten on most of what I had with me on my trip by then. So I will be tossing and replacing everything including my luggage when I get home I guess. Hundreds of dollars worth of stuff I'll need to have replaced, including some sentimental things. My flight left St. Thomas this morning, so there's nothing I can do about it. Otherwise, I would go and ask for my money back. I am now traveling back home with all kinds of stuff that has mold and I don't know what to do about it. I considered tossing my things in SJU, but I was advised not to do something that can't be undone like that. I did email the St. Thomas health department and mention that I was sold a moldy bag in Vendors Plaza and that that's not only unethical business practice, but a health concern. While traveling all day, I have felt sick -- most certainly from exposure to the mold. Vendors Plaza cannot be selling people merchandise that has mold in it. That cannot be acceptable. If I return to St. Thomas, I will not be spending any more of my money at Vendors Plaza!
