    Lots of yumminess going on here!
    Berneta A.

    Woah, walking into Daylight Bakery and Diamond Barrel for breakfast, is kind of like being back in Hawaii. You can order spam, rice, and scrambled eggs for breakfast! I'm still trying to figure out the prices here, nothing is posted and the counter ladies, add it all up in their heads, but I've concluded a little goes a long way. We once ordered 2 dumb bread loaves, 2 coconut drop scones, 2 oatmeal raisin cookies, a guava tart pastry, pineapple tart pastry, large coffee, large tea, fried fish rice, sausages, and eggs, and it came out to $22. That's a lot of food! This place only lost a star for the coffee. Coffee makes my brain turn on. Unfortunately (the sweet ladies at the counter admitted that they just pour water into the coffee dispensors to make more), the coffee isn't strong enough to make me into a decent morning human being. Something to keep in mind if you are going to have breakfast here. No the hot tea isn't caffenated I think it's a local "bush tea" with lemongrass. If you're feeling under the weather definitely have some. If stopping in USVI once try the dumb bread. What is dumb bread you ask and why is it dumb? Well its flour sweetened with coconut shreds or sugar. Back in the day it was cooked via Dutch oven which was called a "dum". I'm a savory person and I don't like my pastries too sweet. Daylights tarts, cookies, and scones are subtlety sweet which tricks my savory brain into wanting more! Writing this review makes me want to get a guava tart right now, they are drool worthy! The hot breakfast and lunch items while they are delicious are calorie packed fatty. Sausages, bacon, fried corned beef and salt fish are all good. The only dish I didn't care for was the fried fish rice, its just me though, the hubby and fur baby thought it was tasty. This is a pay at the counter, then dine in or take out kind of place, although most patrons prefer take out. Parking is a cinch, you have to park on the street out front, and there are always spots, but so long as half of your car is within the white line you're golden. Overall a great place to get your daily carb fix!

    Visited this place late in the evening. The food was ok but I gave it 5 stars because this was the nicest owner and local on the island.

    Thanks to Yelp found this little gem in Paradise for the BEST coffee & bakery in town…read more Been here for over 12 years with expansions coming. Met the owner & his staff who were extremely knowledgeable, friendly & inviting. We were a big group ordered pretty much one of everything as far as bakery goods. The coconut drops are similar to a scone, but far better. Hope future flavors to come, but these coconut ones are a local favorite. Little muffins are full of flavor and the sandwiches are fresh and delicious. Get the potato salad it's delicious! Beverages: Piña Colada is outstanding. Latte is nice and many local brews to experience. We will be coming back before we head home for more of those coconut drops. A bag full for sure! This is a must stop shop while visiting the island. And they are a non- profit, so make sure to leave a donation and support local business.

We had the pleasure of stopping in during a food tour and trying a rum cake slice. We also learned that MBW stands for My Brother's Workshop which teaches skills in the culinary field and beyond to at-risk youth living on the island. After trying the delicious rum cake slice we made it a point to come back to try some of their other goodies. We ended up with the following and everything was yummy: Brownie Chocolate Chip Cookie Rum Cake Bites

We have received endless compliments from our guests. I was blown away by the look of our "naked" coconut cake with pineapple filling and buttercream frosting. It was a mirror image of a "Pinterest" inspiration I had found months before but never thought I would be able to afford. When we ordered and made our selections, I was too busy with other details to check into what it would look like, and assumed it would be a basic round cake. It was stunning, tasted amazing, and we could not be happier. Even better was the shockingly reasonable pricing and excellent customer service. We only decided on ordering the dessert tray for our casual welcome BBQ a few days beforehand. Holly replied immediately, made an amazing spread, and delivered it to our villa. Highly recommend to all brides, hosts, sweet tooths!

We were immediately and graciously greeted by our hostess/server/bartender all-in-one Tiffany. She had the most charismatic personality and smile. I loved her energy! She explained the menu to us first timers and she even brought us complimentary drinks to try! The menu basically featured an array of proteins (chicken, shrimp, wings, salmon, etc) and sauces (jerk, creole, teriyaki, and the special shama sauce) you can pair it with. Sadly they no longer serve curry goat and they were out of oxtail the day we went. Each order also comes with choice of 2 sides. I ordered the jerk salmon with side of rice and peas and plantains. My salmon was perfectly cooked and seasoned. I loved the slightly peppery spice from the jerk seasoning. The plantains were delicious. The rice was a little dry for my taste but went well with my salmon. My fiancé got the wings in shama sauce and this was SO GOOD. Would recommend. He also got a massive portion order of macaroni and cheese. They definitely make sure you don't leave hungry here. My friend got the shrimp and it was nicely seasoned as well. Prices were very reasonable for the portion. Everything was so plentiful! I had enough leftovers for a second meal. The only reason I can't give this 5 stars is the ambiance. The decor is very bare bone and feels like much more of a take out place than somewhere you would go for a nice lunch. There's also two TVs and they blast the sound here which can be very distracting when your group is trying to have a conversation. The bathroom could also use some TLC. Otherwise, the service and food was definitely a 5 stars experience for me. Would gladly return next time I'm in Saint Thomas!

We had the Rasta pasta, rice with pigeon peas, mixed veg and plantains on our first stop here. Jerk chicken was extremely tender and the sauce was the perfect amount of spice. The food did feel a little oily/fatty but we still mopped up our plates! They were out of baked Mac but certainly hope we can try it on the future, yum. Decent sized portions but everything was delicious and we wanted more! Prices are reasonable and match the portion sizes.
