AMAZING. This place was sooo good. Great coffee & tea, amazing food, cute cafe and patio. I had their bodi Buddha breakfast bowl, which I wish I could eat multiple servings of! My husband had the breakfast burrito, which was also really good. Their banana bread was excellent; it was less sweet than typical ones, and more hearty (did they use some wheat flour?). Fresh, tasty ingredients. Clean bathroom. read more

Great cofffee and vibes at Barefoot Buddha. Lovely indoor/outdoor seating, beautiful decor and a good playlist. The hot menu items were just OK for us and definitely very pricey but we frequently tried whatever "day old" baked goods were available and they were all very delicious! We also tried tree of life smoothie and a smoothie of the day which both were good, not great. We also found a bunch of amazing eco friendly gifts at the front of shop! Worth a stop but be ready to spend a little more than other coffee/lunch spots. read more

The sweet potato wrap with rosemary goat cheese and chipotle aioli is AWESOME!!! Five stars. When I returned to the island this year and drove by Barefoot Buddha I saw the new sign and my heart lept for joy. This place has been such an iconic business and a place where many of us gather and get good wholesome food and a very chillaxed zen atmosphere to socialize. The previous owner created such a jewel, we all grieved when it closed. Corey, the Chef was always top-notch. To hear that she has bought the place and updated the decor and menu is very exciting. I couldn't wait to go in and see if the sweet potato wrap was still on the menu. It was! I look forward to trying new things but it may be a while because once you've had that wrap it is hard to consider anything else. Goes perfect with a vanilla lavender lemonade or a chai - both delicious! Congratulations to Cory and her partners. Thank you for investing in a place that serves the heart, stomach, and soul! read more

They don't allow you to quietly work on your iPad inside (while waiting for food and eating) but they do allow multiple people to talk loudly on their phones inside, or at least did not ask them to refrain while I was there. read more

Walking into Barefoot Buddha is a breath of fresh air. Located across the street from Havensight mall, you can get a tea or coffee, grab a healthy bite or smoothie, shop around in the boutique, AND pick up your mail if you register for a P.O. box there!!! My one and only fuss is that they don't offer free wifi. Can't have it all I guess! Other than that, an iced coconut mango tea is my favorite and I have heard nothing but rave reviews on their wraps and smoothies especially for those vegans out there! Whenever I'm done hemorrhaging money from moving down here, I have my eye on some maxis and necklaces I want to buy. read more

So excited that Barefoot Buddha is BACK OPEN on St. Thomas! New management, new decor, amazing food. Had my first falafel ever for lunch - the wrap was bursting with color and flavor - and loved grabbing some goodies at the local artisan booths on the to-go side. Perfect indoor and outdoor areas for enjoying a bite! Welcome back, Buddha! read more

Let me preface this with saying that I usually never take the time to write a review unless the place is exceptional. It was my first time here. They re-opened recently. I got the falafel wrap. Excellent! So tasty, and well made. And it was baked, which was an added bonus. Efficient service. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. HUGE plus is they have lots of outdoor seating and disinfect the tables frequently!! read more

Barefoot Buddha - Falafel wrap - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Saint Thomas, Virgin Islands

Great breakfast and lunch sandwiches. Coffee is fresh and hot and the staff is friendly and no problems accommodating special requests. The fruit smoothies are fresh and very flavorful. They have a few outdoor tables which are well shaded. This is a good value and a great stop for something quick also. read more

we have been coming here for years! We love the food, and the new renovation looks great! Its such a shame that one staff member can ruin the years of good experiences in one day, Martha was very rude and unprofessional, ignoring me in the line and refusing to give any recommendations. food was still amazing tho! read more

A perfect crew restaurant right near the pier where the cruise ships dock! Healthy, organic food served in a hipster little cafe... everything is made fresh. I visted St Thomas a few different times and always came here for lunch. Every sandwich or dessert I had was delicious. Love that they have an array of gluten free desserts- also their quiches are all made gluten free. Feel like a coffee or a smoothie? They make these fresh as well. Note that there is a $5 charge for wifi- but you can use it all day as long as you want and it's fast! read more

Barefoot Buddha - Sweet potato wrap and mango smoothie!! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Saint Thomas, Virgin Islands

Barefoot Buddha already looks like the inside of my neighborhood yoga studio, but it's the sandwiches that really make me feel like I'm back on the mat. The Veg Out Wrap was perfectly balanced, and I'll never forget one of my best bites of falafel from one of their daily specials. The Sweet Potato Wrap is a little more laid back, with sweet mashed sweet potato and refreshing stacks of spinach. A taste of the layer of hummus and some creamy chevre can sometimes shake things up. Grainy hummus balances creamy goat cheese, and a soft tomato holds off the crisp, fresh spinach in this Hummus & Rosemary Goat Cheese Panini, a perfectly balanced midday meal. At Barefoot Buddha, the sandwiches are superb and the wraps will wow you. So when you grow tired of the chicken and hot sauce routine of the island, ensconce yourself here, in a form of nirvana made possible only by food. read more

Barefoot Buddha is a very delightful place. Good food, friendly staff, and lots of vegetarian and vegan options. Really cute place with beautiful artwork. Their smoothies are delicious. Give Barefoot Buddha a try! read more

This is my absolute favorite coffee shop on island! They have been in business for 13. years and they have the best Organic Coffee! Barefoot Buddha also has a vibrant menu full of healthy and delicious options for the whole family. If you stop by be sure to ask what the daily specials are because they are to die for. From the moment you walk into Barefoot Buddha, you are greeted with radiant smiles from the staff, they are friendly and very helpful. The atmosphere is relaxing and has a beautiful island oasis kind of feeling. While you wait for your order be sure to check out the boutique, it is full of beautiful clothing, jewelry crystals and more that are sure to enhance your wardrobe. Once you get your order there are 2 seating areas inside and outside. Inside they have AC that is cool and refreshing and outside they have a beautiful garden area where you can sit and enjoy their delicious creations. I hope you enjoy your visit to this slice of heaven. Love and Light Cassandra P.s you have to try the Cubano and the Buddha Blessing! read more

Took a bus to get to this restaurant in hopes of getting something vegetarian from a place with such positive reviews. When my date and I attempted to place an order we were prompted to wait a "couple minutes." A few minutes later we were prompted by the staff to have a seat at the table and someone would be over to help us in just a moment. Some 30 minutes later and still no food or order even taken. We ended up leaving as the staff seemed preoccupied with ensuring the food counter didn't grow legs and walk away or something. Luckily, it seemed secure and stayed motionless much like the staff of this restaurant. Next time my date and I travel to the islands, we will be sure to avoid this pitfall. Although this might be a good place to use WiFi if you like spending $5 to "add wifi to your order." STAY CLEAR. read more

I would have to say, this is as 'hippy-organic- panera(?!) like restaurant' you can get. I love their daily specials and all of their menu is very healthy and light. From the cruise ship docking area, just walk on over.. there is a construction going on currently outside.. and it probably wont stop any time soon. If you want fresh soup, salad, or sandwich, this is a place- typically open till 6 PM read more

The best spot for healthy breakfast and smoothies!! The girls behind the counter rock. I had the big Buddha wrap and five berries smoothie. Delicious taste of organic food. My next trip to St. Thomas, this place will be on the top priority list of restaurants. Thank you!! read more

My absolute favorite place on the island! Everything is made with such love and intention! I have thoroughly enjoyed all menu items I have ordered from this place; it is true magic! read more

This place is awesome... small and zen... please pay attention to the present while ordering... the establishment appreciate this! Coffee is great, I got a vanilla latte and it was made perfect! Not to sweet! Just perfectly delicious. Also ordered a croissant sandwich and a bagel sandwich... the best part of these were the fresh spinach and tomato!!! The people here are super friendly and welcoming! read more

I've been to Barefoot Buddha a few times over the years and I love their zen vibe, good food, and boutique next door. I wanted to try the vegetarian roti but they were out. I got a refreshing hibiscus unsweetened iced tea and the sweet potato wrap with hummus, spinach and goat cheese (minus aioli and tomato). I liked that the wrap was grilled, but I'm not sure I was crazy about the flavor combo. My husband enjoyed his tuna salad sandwich with mango chutney. We also had a vegan coconut cake with was yummy. read more

The coffee was fine. Not great, but fine. A lot of people who work on the cruise ships go here because they have mailboxes... I'm upset at this place right now. I have been here a few times over the past few years, and the people at the counter are always nice. I asked the girl at the counter where I could go for some authentic Caribbean food and as she's answering, the guy behind the counter interjects and sends me to the fat turtle. The fat turtle is a place on the dock, complete tourist trap, NO Caribbean food available at all. Prob perfect for spoiled frat kids and families with parents who are alcoholics or just don't know any better rhan to eat bar food... I'm pretty mad about this. I just got off of crutches a few weeks ago (three broken bones in foot) and my arrival on foot to these two destinations was hard won. read more

Barefoot Buddha has REOPENED and is better than ever!! Specials everyday and amazing menu items that are healthy and SUPER TASTY!!! I've been here too many times but I cannot stop getting food and drinks from here, it's addicting. From coffee to smoothies and tea to a Bigfoot Buddha Bagel Sandwich it's all amazing!!! So happy to add this place back in my weekly schedule. Thanks to the new owners for doing an amazing job updating but keeping the classics, love it!!! read more

Wow what a find. This place is by the cruise line docks. Its a great place if you want healthy vegan and/or vegetarian food. We ordered the Mediterranean bagel sandwich and the smoked mozzarella panini. Both were excellent. My favorite was the bagel sandwich. Also got the juliet salad. That was excellent too. You will not be disappointed if you eat here. Can't wait to go back! read more

Yum! What a great spot. Barefoot Buddha is delicious and you don't feel awful after eating the food. I love that they serve breakfast all day. Very vegetarian friendly. My boyfriend and I ordered two of the bagel sandwiches and the banana yogurt parfait to split. The sandwiches came with turkey and bacon, but they were very accommodating and allowed us to substitute avocado instead. We were so satisfied and felt great afterward! Loved the cute clothing store that is attached too - I had to pull myself away before I bought everything in the store! read more

It's beyond me how this place has the rating it does. We picked this place solely on the Yelp rating and were very underwhelmed. Here's the rundown. Food: Two Panini's (sandwich only), two beers from the six they had to choose from, and a cup of soup was $45. The sandwiches were good but nothing to write home about and certainly not worth the money paid. The organic beer was good but overpriced. The soup was bland and uneaten. Service: nonexistent. You order at the counter. They call your name. You bus your own table. Atmosphere: Signs all over the place say no cell phone use allowed yet the music is a "Zen Wrecking" 85db. I get it. It's a tea and sandwich shop dedicated to locals and offers yoga and every hemp threaded outfit made in the VI's but to garner top billing in a resort town? WAY OFF THE MARK. We left and went two doors down for drinks and dice games with the locals and had the best time in years. read more

I really wanted to like this place. It has such a cozy, eccentric ambiance, unique to the island. Beware of the quiche: I ordered the quiche special of the day with spinach and sun-dried tomatoes. It looked and tasted as if it was made two days prior. It was dried out and barely tasted like anything. I tried talking to the cashier but he just said it was baked that morning and quickly turned to do something other than talk to me. The small side salad was the best part of my meal. On a positive note, the cappuccino I ordered was very well made. read more

I'm a fan it says when I hit the 4 star button. This crew would get 5 stars if they weren't such commie freaks. Thank God they took down the Marx and Lenin posters. I just couldn't anymore and I told them one day "if I have to look at Che Guevara looking at me while I pay you to pour my own fucking coffee I am going to take a shit right here on your floor!" so they took it down and I feel better. Ok yes the food is very creative, my fav is the barefoot. Addicting actually. Coffee is served my unaffected hippie butt nuts but it's really really good. So if you were around to see Regan tango with Hinkley you may want to peek in the door before you get your panties in a bunch. But other than that it's all fab. read more

Running errors this morning and decided to get breakfast, the quiche was good, and so was the salad that was served with it. On the other hand the blueberry muffin was dry, and very hard. Once I placed my order I asked the lady "do i just grab these... "Muffins" And she said "no" and plopped the plate on the counter and said "use this".... I was kind of turned off by that... The atmosphere was really quite and relaxing... I did ask the lady behind the counter to try and heat it up in the microwave, it didn't help! This is why I have this place 3 stars. I'm sure the pigeons will love the muffin!! read more

Great food, and great service. Got a salad and a wrap and a great quiche. Highly recommend this place. We were on our way to the airport I needed a place to eat in the service was excellent. Food came out quick. read more

Barefoot Buddha was seriously a lighthouse in the storm after a hot day of cruise activities on the island. My brother and I didn't really know what to expect, but we'd heard they had vegan and veggie food there, so we made our way across the crazy construction and went inside. The vibe there is about as far from local as you can get, but if you don't hold that against them, it's awesome. All the staff were super helpful and accommodating in figuring out what my brother could eat, and we were lucky to get there right before the lunch rush. I got the sweet potato wrap, and it was a fracking revelation. I think I told my brother that it was the first time in my life I'd ever enjoyed food so much that I didn't want to swallow. I just wanted to keep that flavor in my mouth forever. And in case you don't understand what I mean, just read this description: Roasted sweet potato, hummus, rosemary goat cheese, Roma tomato, Chipotle aioli & fresh seasoned spinach. AMAZING. We also both got lattes, and I was thrilled to find out that I could get my Almond Joy latte with almond milk! First time I've ever had that option in a coffee shop. My bro got the same with soy. I was way too full from my wrap to get one of the amazing looking dessert items, but man, if I had it all to do again, I would've brought one along with me back to the boat. Also: their little shop that adjoins the restaurant area is fantastic. I bought a gorgeous leather bracelet there and had to stop myself from getting more. The website says, Barefoot Buddha: Your Happy Place. It's no overstatement. read more

Edit: I contacted Yelp, the map is now correct! The map for this place is completely wrong! We were visiting the area and were excited to go here and followed the map through some seedy parts of Charlotte Amalie until we called and realized we were very far away and had to walk about 25 minutes more because unlike the map, this is not in the downtown historic area but near the cruise ship dock. It's a given that the food here was healthy and delicious, the people who worked there were nice, the atmosphere was adorable, the boutique was cute too. I only wish we didn't have issues with the location and that the prices weren't inflated, almost $4 seems quite high for a bagel with cream cheese. read more

1/2 and 1/2 was curdled. Spent the entire day on the can because of one sip of coffee. The bagels were good. Weird decorations. read more

We drove to the other side of the island for Barefoot Budda and I gotta say- it was worth it. I'm not sure if the islanders are always this pleasant or if it's the culture of this coffee shop, but I really appreciated every person we interacted with. The baristas were generally friendly, no one was in a rush. I asked a woman about local yoga and after a 5 minute conversation, I could tell she still felt I didn't have a sufficient enough answer. There's a sense of calm and community-oriented psyche on the island that I'm still observing and trying to compare to my own disposition and experiences from back home. The coffee was good. It didn't have the coffee art I'm used to in Austin, but definitely hit the spot for a latte. The sandwiches were exactly what I needed. You can tell they're slowly adding gluten free items to the menu- so far just a coconut brownie (pretty good) and salads. I'd like to see a GF option for wraps and sandwich bread. All in all an enjoyable spot for a rainy day (or any day). Full of good people and good vibes. read more

Such an awesome part of the STT experience! Whether you need a yummy breakfast, a delicious coffee or a space to work, I love to come to Buddha while visiting to start my day! read more

Good coffee, healthy entrees, great smoothies, and very reasonable prices for breakfast. Came here twice during a week stay in St. Thomas, quick drive from the Marriott if you have a car. If I remember correctly, you had to pay for the Wi-Fi. Nice to disconnect once in a while, just a heads up! read more

A nice coffee shop amid the hustle and bustle of St. Thomas -- I still laugh when I say there is hustle and bustle on STT after living in NYC, but its true and sometimes you need to get away. This is a good place to do it. They have a great selection of teas and the coffee is quite good. Rumor has it they will be roasting their own beans soon. There is a collection of magazines like the Economist and New Yorker plus a nice book shelf from which you can borrow books (but only in the cafe). They have day old pastries which are half off and usually pretty good. I haven't had lunch there, but it looks quite tasty if a bit expensive. Reason for four stars is Wifi is $5 and it is spotty most times that I have been there. Worth checking out on a Saturday or Sunday morning. I'm disappointed I won't be near it since I moved out east. read more
