    Breakfast menu

    Vegan breakfast that was just vegan to begin with! This was a gem of a place to find. I ate here twice and it was better the second time. I must also say that they remembered my order. It has a zen vibe to it and the service is relaxed. It is not for the hurried. Look at the menu. As good as it was I can't recall the names of the sandwiches.

    Good food and drinks! Amazing service! Big thank you to Ken for being the sweetest person ever! She's Really kind and beautiful! Great place for brunch or to drink coffee with friends or just chill on your computer.

    Cilantro sauce - must have!!

    This cute little Bohemian cafe within walking distance of the cruise ship pier is serving up some delicious healthy foods. We really enjoyed their handcrafted coffee drinks and specialty hibiscus teas. There is both inside and outside dining areas and a nice menu to choose from. We were there at breakfast time and ordered some bagel and muffin sammie's that were unbelievably fresh and filled with yumminess. Even a plain toasted bagel with cheddar and freshly roasted turkey was knock your socks off delicious. I am still craving that simple sandwich, it was that good. The Merv muffin with bacon, egg, swiss cheese, tomato, avocado, spinach, and sprouts was absolutely delicious and the perfect size. The Buddha Club sandwich was fabulous too! You cannot go wrong with this place. You can carry it out or eat it there.

    Great food and chai in a laid back environment with really nice people. Just what we needed on our entry into St Thomas. The Danny was fresh and tasty. Win!

    One of the worst salad bowls I've ever had, for $17 ! Ordered the Veg Out bowl with sweet potatoes added. And when I opened it later, the bowl didnt have half the ingredients mentioned in the menu. No hummus, no tomatoes, no sprouts and the "mixed greens" was just lettuce. She had told me they were out of roasted beets, so I expected that but she didnt mention that it would just be a bowl full of lettuce and sweet potatoes with some dressing (the dressing was good though). I expected better from the reviews of the place, extremely disappointed.

    First stop in St Thomas from the airport. We were those people that got in just prior to closing at 3:00. They were super nice and said no problem. We were definitely happy. The tree of life smoothie was good with a hint of sweetness to balance the spinach. The farmers market panini was outstanding. I did not miss the meat as the flavors melded perfectly together. Nice chill vibe. Considering the food, service and nice folks definitely rates a 5. Thank you

    This place is a boutique / coffee shop/ food spot/ smoothie spot. Such a genius idea. Drinks and food is soooo good and the boutique has so many cute clothes and trinkets. Plenty of seating inside and out. Love it! Vegetarian friendly

    The Ambiance is chill. My favorite place for breakfast on the island. Truly enjoyed this spot!

    Turkey quiche, sweet potato mushroom wrap, and three of their incredible smoothies!

    My friends and I were lucky enough to be on a flight with the owner of this amazing little cafe, so naturally we had to stop in and see what it was all about! When you first enter, you walk through an adorable little boutique with various souvenirs and clothes to buy, all at a reasonable price. Then you walk into the main cafe, and the vibes are amazing! There are comfy booths lining all of the windows with throw pillows that just tie the whole place together. The people are kind and even remembered our names when we came in the next day! Now, onto the main event: the food. All of it was wonderful. One of my friends got the turkey quiche and loved it; I got a sweet potato mushroom wrap that was one of their specials of the day and let me tell you: It. Was. Incredible. All of the flavors complimented each other beautifully, and I felt great after eating it! We each got different smoothies, and all of those were great too. Overall, I cannot recommend this place enough!

    My boyfriend and I had breakfast here one day during our trip, and we spent the whole time talking about how we want to open a coffee shop just like it! He got the standard drip coffee (which was good) and I got a dirty chai tea latte, which was herbal and unique, but SO good. He had a Turkey wrap and I had the quiche with a salad - seriously their salad is even the bomb. It felt so refreshing and good after a week of eating out on the island. Great food, great drinks, great service. They even had a cute little shop with a bunch of zero waste items. Very laid back, boho atmosphere. I'm a huge fan and recommend it to anyone staying in the area.

    Traveled from San Francisco, as we walked up to the door a man locked the door, turned around and walked away. Very rude service.

They are constantly coming out with hot and fresh baked pastries to restock the pastry case with, so whenever you come it you will always get a fresh and warm baked good with top notch flavor. I went with the Chai and it was one of the best I have had! I added lavender syrup to it and the flavor was there in the beginning and was really yummy. As for the spinach and feta croissant, it was amazingly buttery and flaky and overall the perfect pastry! The cashier that helped us was very welcoming and kind. The line moved quick and was filled with locals so you know it's a good place to get your start for the day. There is plenty of seating inside to enjoy your food, but also really easy to take in the go. Love me it here and will 100% be coming back

The coffee (and other beverages) were great, but what really stood out were the pastries. Excellent pain au chocolate, bread pudding, and other assorted savory breakfast pastries.

Highly recommend if you are staying in the area or just visiting on a cruise ship and you need a snack or pick-me-up!

    Love love love! Have so many positives things to say. Service is amazing - quick and very kind…read more Portions are very generous and worth the price. The crepe was filled to the brim with fruit (banana and strawberries) and Nutella. We did also opt for whipped cream, but you can ask for without. Latte was STRONG. The omelette was also packed full, this time with various veggies and even ginger! The toast that comes with is plain white toast topped with butter. The space itself is cozy and cute, although hidden. You will have to walk through a jewelry store to find it. Front of the shop is dedicated to coffee and sweets while the back is for main breakfast and lunch dishes. Highly recommend!

    We didn't get the same positive vibes as other fellow Yelpers. Sorry to say…read more To start, it's a confusing layout in a historical building. You walk through a jewelry store to get to a small restaurant that combines Virgin Islands Ice Cream shop with Calypso Cafe. Most of the seats were taken, and all we saw was a line to place your order at the front. My husband waited in line while I found a table that hadn't been cleaned yet. It was very busy there. He ordered us 2 brownies and 2 bottles of water for $16. The lady at the counter gave herself a tip by taking $3 of the change and giving him back $1. He was going to give her all the change ($4) back, but after that incident he was floored. To add insult to injury, she didn't give us what we paid for. She proceeded to help the next person in line for an ice cream shake order. We waited and waited and no one acknowledged us after trying to flag someone down. We finally got the attention of a different lady who was helping people who were seated in the back. I think her name is Cameron. She didn't fully understand our frustration, and we had to explain that we didn't get the items that we had already paid for. She made it all right, and even offered to warm up the brownies. We just didn't feel like waiting longer for it. I'm giving benefit of the doubt here since maybe we just didn't understand the ordering system. Maybe there's a service charge that we didn't know about. How could we? We didn't even get a receipt. Perhaps there's another line for Calypso Cafe? I don't know. Honestly, the lady at the counter should have informed Cameron before proceeding on to the next customer. It only takes 2 seconds. I mean, really! Will we go back? Absolutely not! We'll go somewhere else the next time we're in Charlotte Amalie. It wasn't worth the long wait for 2 bakery items and water.
