As a vegetarian and as someone who avoids gluten, this is my go to restaurant when I visit St. Thomas. I love their soups, salads and desserts. This time I had black bean chili, the Juliet salad and a gluten free banana walnut muffin. My only complaint was that the salad had way too many cranberries. It can be a little difficult to find if you do not know where you are going. read more

I don't usually like iced lattes but they are delicious here. We visited several times on our vacation (even though it's a hike down from our hotel) and it's totally worth it! The coffee has always been great. Nice friendly faces behind the counter, lots of vegan pastries & the sandwiches are good. I had the toasted turkey artichoke panini. Yum! Plenty of seating inside & out on the balcony with plush couches & cushions. They also have pay ($5) wi-fi and a modest selection of items for purchase like crafty cards and small arty things. 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

Im generally a fan but I have a few exceptions - the last time I was in, I got the wrong food - but didn't realize it right away so I didn't go exchange it. Also, I ordered a flavored soda (Italian style) and first they didn't have the flavor I asked for then they came back a few min later and said they had no soda - It would've been fine if I hadn't already paid for it and had to find something else. It's the little things I guess, they just aren't spot-on for the customer service but, the food is good even when it's the wrong food :-) read more

Ordered a Bodhi Breakfast bowl for $12. There was barely any content !!. Come on, for $12, it was less than bird food.. Ofcourse, they have it set up where the Monitor on the register asks for Tip before you taste or see anything. Giving a 2 star instead of 1 because food tasted good. read more

For food...closed forever. The boutique is open. But the delicious food is now just a happy memory. Sad day coming today and seeing that it's not serving food. I'll miss those bagel sandwiches!!! read more

Love the made to order healthy delicious menu offerings. The atmosphere is relaxing and and a very cool vibe .

I absolutely loved this place! Order a regular latte, and Cubano latte then HAD to order the mocha orange latte with whipped cream soooo yummy ! Food was also really good ! We tried the breakfast bagel and yum yum yum and I order the mozzarella panini . Too bad I could not eat more ! Oh! The mango - coconut tea to go was the best thing I did on a hot day :) We will definitely be back !!! Gracias read more

A GREAT place on St. Thomas for tea, coffee, something wholesome & healthy to eat!!! They also have wifi if you need to work on a project and need a break from the beach. Nice warm vibe, great service, food & atmosphere. #Foodie #FOJ read more

Barefoot Buddha - Barefoot Buddha!!! #FOJ - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Saint Thomas, Virgin Islands

on a cruise vacation with friends, stopped here to eat and use wifi (which costs a minimal fee understandably) wonderfully unique, laid back cafe type of place with very honest foods and drinks. i shamefully admit that i was wondering if there was a starbucks on the island, but if i had this place anywhere near my hometown then i'd never go back to any chain coffee shop! I consider myself more of a healthy eater, which makes it difficult to find places to eat here, but this cafe made it simple with many healthy options! and a delicious monkey peanut butter chocolate smoothie to top it off :D and the prices were just right. i'd come back to the island just to hang out at this cafe for a day! awesome trinkets/gifts/souvenirs to take home and an adorable staff too! read more

Barefoot Buddha - veg out wrap (without the wrap) - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Saint Thomas, Virgin Islands

Delicious coffee and breakfast sandwich! Took a little while to get, but that's probably best explained by an east coaster not yet on island time. read more

Fresh food, relaxing atmosphere, juvenile service. While reading the menu, I was interupted several times by the same cashier asking what I would like to order. Ordered an iced green tea to go, was given a hot green tea in a ceramic mug. Asked for dressing on the side, but it was instead smoothered over every inch of my soggy, wet salad (which was still delicious). Food is made fresh, adventurously tasty and worth the inexperienced, poor attention to detail by the staff. read more

Phenomenal food preparation combined with a cool grounded vibe results in a wonderful experience.....every time Leave room for homemade baked goods cuz they r special BAREFOOT BUDDHA IS A PARADISE LOCATED IN PARADISE tricky to find...between hooters and Harley Davidson store by havensight Parking in back read more

What a treasure. So glad we stumbled upon this. Such a fun place. Great healthy food (yummy salads) with vegan options. Lots of tea to choose from. Will definitely go back . . . and soon. They do close 6pm. They greeted us with smiles at 5:30. Such a fun place. read more

This place is a hidden gem in Havensight. It's the perfect place to go if you're craving that divey, hipstery coffee shop ambience. The interior is very pretty, and the coffee & tea selection is solidly good. The food was also pretty decent. I got some sort of sandwich that was tasty, but it didn't come with a side of any sort. My boyfriend is gluten allergic, and the waitress had some trouble figuring out which foods were gluten-free... she seemed to just "assume" they were, which is not really acceptable for an allergy. His sandwich, which he got without bread, was underwhelming with just the contents spread on a plate, but it was tasty. Note that they do NOT allow you to bring in your own laptop, but they do have one laptop for public use. They also have a nifty little store with some unique items. Overall, it was a pleasant experience. I would go back just for the drinks and atmosphere. read more

Delicious is the only word to describe the coffee and the quiches. I HIGHLY recommend the Cubano i have had it hot it was excellent then i went back the next day and had it blended and it was seriously delicious! Ok its strong it has 4 shots in it and it frothy because it a cappuccino. But its all Cubano good and strong! So if u are a light weight do not attempt. If you have a strong love for strong coffee this is ur cup of java!.did i mention that this master piece is only $4.00 bucks. The habiscus tea is absolutely yum too. Ok the boutique next door SERIOUSLY cute clothes and accessories and great prices. Everything is quality and the young lady working their is super helpful. read more

Wow! I visited on a recent trip to St. Thomas, the food was amazing. I am a vegetarian so I was in heaven and had a hard time choosing as there were so many options on the menu. After asking the staff for recommendations I decided on the sweet potato wrap. Honestly, I was very nervous about this choice. Sweet potato and spinach I'm a wrap with hummus? Huh? Who does that? It was DELICIOUS! I am so glad I went out of my comfort zone and tried this as I was leaning towards a tomato - mozzarella wrap, which I can get anywhere state side. While I love coffee, I didn't have any during this visit so I can't review that. I did indulge in a chocolate brownie and it was also terrific. Definitely check Rhys place out. read more

Barefoot Buddha - Yum yum yum! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Saint Thomas, Virgin Islands

YES this place is amazing, so many great options, super fresh, and good prices! I might stay longer just to go again before I leave

This place is amazing! My hubby and I were in St. Thomas and each day possible we would walk to Barefoot Buddha. During the week I had a Mocha freeze iced coffee, coffee, hibiscus hot tea, bagel sandwich with cream cheese, sun dried tomato aoli, turkey, turkey bacon and cheddar cheese. That was AMAZING! I also had a blueberry lemon tart and coconut pumpkin donut. I would seriously just go back to St. Thomas to go to Barefoot Buddha! read more

Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled - VEGAN - masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming - WITH FRIED EVERYTHING -shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, THE BAREFOOT BUDDHA I - WILL- lift my lamp beside the golden door!" Our 4th visit to VI and we always take time to visit before heading out to the St. John's ferry and right before flight back home. It's an oasis. Look no further, you will be nourished without fear of accidental food transfer from a carnivore's plate. You will enjoy the best java around. Cold press juices. Everything organic. Friendliest staff. I want to take you guys with me home. read more

highly recommend! I got the weekly special falafel wrap without cheese it was soooo good! best vegan sandwich I had. I would totoally go back again and try everything on their menu, accept credit card read more

A bit pricey, but great selection, nice staff, tasty food. Not used to having to pay for internet, but at least they don't lock all the power outlets like some places on island. read more

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

The Barefoot Buddha was the best breakfast/lunch spot on the Island. I give it this credit number one because the food was fresh and delicious. My wife asked to go here several times during our stay in Red Hook. I would drive to the middle of the island for coffee and bagel sandwiches for breakfast. They have a couple of computers you can rent, They have wifi but there is a charge for it. On the 3rd visit or so I opted to eliminate the schmear from my sandwich as it made it a sloppy time eating. If you're cruising and looking for a good cup of joe and fresh pastries, just walk across the street. read more

I was a frequent customer until they started charging $5 per device for wifi! So, I pay premium prices for the food and drink, and I'm still charged a wifi fee? I think not. Especially when they command that you can't download anything! If is was super fast wifi, maybe. If you paid the $5 only if your purchase fell below a predetermined rate, perhaps. But, this just seems excessive. Buh bye. read more

This place is THE JAM. I eat here sometimes 2 or 3 times a week! Prices are great, the food is healthy and organic (whenever possible) and it's fresh and GOOD. Look into the Sweet Potato Wrap and there's always something good on the "specials sheet". Fresh baked goods, smoothies, teas, desserts....yeah mon, good stuff! The only bummer is, breakfast and lunch and no dinner! So go before 2:30pm! read more

Super friendly staff, delicious and creative food, to die for hand crafted coffees. Local flavor, not a tourist trap yet just across from West Indies docks, and frequented by locals. Adjoining boutique shop features beautiful and unusual clothing and jewelry. The only location in St Thomas we returned to a second time! read more

Wow, surprisingly some of the best food I've had on the island. It doesn't pretend to be anything but a sandwich/coffee joint and boy do they do it well. The coffee selection is wonderful, as are the teas. The sandwiches are to die for from the club to the tuna they are fresh, vibrant, and delicious. The food here easily beats some of the more upscale restaurants on the island and it's a fraction of the price. They also have paid internet which is good to know, although Badass coffee offers free internet in Havensight but not the delicious food. If you're in the mood for a sandwich or just something fresh make sure you stop in Buddha. read more

Cute little store, and café. I love the technology free zone, even if some guests did not obey. All the menu options are super healthy, and my breakfast burrito was delicious. They have a community board in their garden listing all the local activities. The atmosphere, and mission seems very community/earth/balanced which is refreshing. read more

If you're in the area you've gotta try it out! Great vibes and they serve everything on the menu all day. Makes great for a late breakfast sandwich and coffee. Ooh yeah very fresh and made daily muffins and banana bread. Thank me later!! read more

Chill independent restaurant and coffee shop. Will return for sure! Friendly staff and good food and drink. You can also get a mailbox here if you're a local. read more

My favorite place to eat when I am in town! Great for vegans and vegetarians, they do have turkey on the menu as well. Such a great gem! Great coffee, breakfast, brunch and lunch! Love the crew they are always so warm and welcoming. There can be a bit of a wait somedays when it is busy, but totally worth it!! If your in a rush call ahead! There is also a small boutique attached to the restaurant which has some of the best finds on island. read more

Fast Wifi ($5 for a whole day) and a full service coffee place with sandwiches. The atmosphere here is more like something I'd find in Madison, WI, rather than in the Virgin Islands. The owner was quite helpful and friendly, too. If I lived in Saint Thomas, I could see myself coming here daily. Alas, I do not. :'( read more

We stayed in USVI for a week and had four different meals at this place. Amazing daily specials. Great for vegetarian and healthy food eaters. The service was casual and super friendly. It is right across the street from the havensight mall where all the cruise ship docks. Must visit delicious food and friendly staff. The zucchini cake and the chickpeas receives a 5 star along with the veg out and multiple paninni read more

After 3 days of traveling my husband and I were starting to have early signs of "good coffee" withdrawals. This place put us back on track. We both had 2 cups of coffee and a breakfast bagel. A welcome break from high priced, over processed resort food. The atmosphere was great and the service was friendly. Would certainly recommend. read more

Don't come here expecting to get wifi if you buy something. high priced mediocre coffee and then they hit you with $5 if you want to use their wifi. I sat outside and got badly bitten by bugs. I won't be back read more

Never order take out they charge a 10% take out fee!!!!! Food is ok at best though their miso soup is great and sushi good. Try the sweet potato roll. Also their salmon dinner read more

The food is good and expensive. Don't pay for the slowww Internet unless you really need it.

I live here and took my friend who was visiting. Wanted to come for awhile and grab some coffee. Got here a little before 3 and they had started to close but said they could make us coffee. I work in the service industry so I get it but they treated us poorly and were very rude. Very disappointed. read more
