    Lunch menu

    Stopped by Northside Grind before heading to Magens Bay. It's a convenient little coffee spot if you're on your way to the beach. I ordered a 16 oz iced latte ($6.75) with coconut flavor (+$1) and whole milk. I also tried a 20 oz iced cold brew ($6.00) with coconut flavor (+$1) and sweet cold foam (+$2). Our total for both drinks came to $16.75. The iced latte had a light roast feel but leaned pretty milky for my taste. The beans didn't really stand out as much as I would have liked. If you prefer a stronger, more pronounced espresso profile, you might want to ask for an extra shot. They do offer both indoor and outdoor seating, and they have their own parking lot. What I really liked is that they serve both breakfast and lunch, so it's more than just coffee. They also sell local merchandise like candles, soaps, magnets, and even have board games available. Service was okay. They were quite busy but our coffees eventually came out although the cold foam had deflated by then.

    Small and cozy coffee shop! Stopped in for coffee, but they also have an assortment of muffins and cookies along with BF items. Quick service for a busy Sunday morning!

    Located at Flamboyan Resort, Northside Grind was a solid spot for a morning smoothie. We parked up front and were greeted upon entrance, regardless of being busy. They have quite little space but it seemed like most folks got their orders to go anyway. We did not try the food, we only had some smoothies, but they were prepared quickly and tasted good. I would go back to try the food.

    Super cute local shop. Have breakfast, lunch, coffee, smoothie, fruit, bowls you name it they've got it. The drinks are amazing. Thanks you so much for starting our day out perfectly! See you tomorrow! The ladies working there are absolutely so nice too, thank you so much!

    Best coffee we found on our week long trip to the USVI! We got 2 americanos and 2 vanilla lattes, one cold and one hot. All were great! My hot vanilla latte was only a little sweeter than I normally take it but the espresso was great and the streamed milk was perfectly silky. The vibes were there even if we did have to wait a little bit as the locals, whom I assume we about to go on shifts near by, were served before us-- maybe they ordered ahead or come at a regular time often to be expected. The directions make it super easy to find with a convenient parking lot near by. This is a perfect island coffee place that I would recommend anyone that visits to stop in for, even if you have a 10 minute drive to get to it like we did.

    Very berry smoothie

    Surprised this gem doesn't have as many reviews because everything my family & I had was very good! We got 2 stinky pigs, 1 carnival, 1 chicken quesadilla, 1 very berry smoothie, & 1 guava freeze latte. The wait was reasonable (10-15 min.) considering how many customers were in line & we got quite a lot. Finished almost everything before we could snap pics oops! So yummy!

    Ham & Fig Sandwich and a coconut cold brew

    Figgy Piggy is my favorite sandwich on this island! It's a warm baguette with ham, melted Brie and fig spread. I stop here before heading to Magens bay beach every time! They have a variety of coffee drinks and souvenir items also. Today I had the coconut cold brew and it was divine. You can sit inside or outside in the shady area.

    Inside is super cute

    Best coffee shop on island! The ambiance is very chic. The cashier was super sweet, relaxed for early Monday morning rush, food was delicious, ordered some bagels sandwiches to take on our boat excursion. Goda snag the energy bites!

    Calypso is literally a "hidden gem" (it is tucked away inside the huge Diamond Direct) well worth…read moresearching out! Three of us were shopping mid-morning and asked each vendor for a good place for breakfast. All recommended a well-known place. Unfortunately, we'd eaten there previously on this trip and wanted something different and better. The nice lady at Xxxxx recommended Calypso. She was sooo excited describing their delicious crepes. Well we found our way to Diamond Dire t and run to Calypso. I had a veggie omelette with whole wheat toast. The veggies were fresh and the omelette quite tasty. My brother (a carnivore) had some scrambled eggs with bacon on the side. When the plate arrived, the aroma of the perfectly cooked bacon brought an approving smile to everyone's face. My nephew had an "Indian" omelette (with ham and veggies). Quite delicious. He also had a freshly made fruit smoothy. I sampled 2 of the coffees, and liked them both. I settled for the strong one with a shot of Bailey's Irish Cream. Scrumptious!! The hostess and the chef were so sweet, attentive and friendly. Made us feel like "regulars". I will definitely be returning to Calypso on my next trip to St. Thomas! "D & M" at Calypso: Thank you for a "delicious and nutritious" breakfast. But more so for a real, personal, warm experience.

    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.
