    Small panadería (bakery) right by the ferry terminal I'm Vieques. I saw this on my early walk the day before and saw a huge line of people standing in line waiting to order food so I figured I had to try it before leaving. I went this morning at 7:20- and there were 5 people ahead of me in line! I ordered a cafe con leche (coffee with milk) and doughnut and they were both good.

    Not a bad start to my last day in paradise (for now). All fresh

    *They do not serve breakfast (no eggs, no bacon)! But they have really good pork sandwiches (and others), delicious fresh baked bread, strong coffee and pretty good donuts. I bring up breakfast because they open really early and are right by the ferry terminal. I tried to order a breakfast sandwich when I arrived with no suerte. Then when I went back, I saw the sign (en Espanol) that said "no servi huevos". Good first stop to kickstart your day!!!

    Fantastic hole in the wall spot for breakfast sandwiches, pastries, and coffee needs. Hot spot for locals (for a tiny port town, there was a very consistent line outside the window!). A very short walk from the ferry terminal. Excellent quesito! Strongly recommend.

    Nice local bakery with delicious breads and pastries

    Delicious morning pastries (5 stars) Our inn keeper suggested this place since it's within walking distance and because of their delicious pastries. While in Vieques we came to Lydia's three times, and all the pastries were delicious. Depending on what time you get there, either early in the morning for the best pickings and get in line with the locals, or later in the morning with no line but fewer options. Regardless the time, go visit this Panaderia and eat some delicious pastries. The bread is really good too. We bought some to go and ate them along the pool of our resident.

    It's worth standing in line. Great sandwichs. Get there early for pastries and donuts.

    I come to this bakery every time I visit the island. They have the best coconut and guava tarts…read more Other places make the tarts, but none are as good as this one. This last trip, I tried the chicken pate - WOW, the best pate I have tried on the island. I regret not trying it earlier. It was a different take on the traditional pate, it had flaky buttery crust and curry chicken inside Parking is free and their prices are also more economical than other bakeries. In addition, their customer service is amazing...all friendly people! And Christian!! I love seeing businesses who stand for the kingdom of God. Delicious food, friendly service, free parking and good prices - hard to find all of that in 1 place in St.Croix. May God bless and prosper this business in Jesus name! I will be back soon, and you should go too!

    It's all business at Thomas Bakery. The parking out…read morefront is classic St Croix road conditions I.e., uneven and full of potholes, and the shop isn't much to look at, inside or out. One doesn't visit Thomas Bakery for the atmosphere: one goes to purchase baked goods!! On that score, the products on display looked tasty. The guava tartlet I had was nice: good sticky filling in a well-made crust. The raisin bun, however, didn't offer much flavor. I suspect it would benefit from being split open and toasted / grilled with butter. And while I've come to expect uneven customer service here on St Croix, the person who interacted with me seems so stern, so serious. BTW, the prices were great! Very affordable. I will consider going back for more tartlets and to try a few other goodies. It all about the product.

    If you're visiting Puerto Rico, do yourself a favor and stop by Kasalta. I came in with my heart…read moreset on a raspberry pastry, but thanks to a little lost-in-translation moment, I ended up with guava instead. And honestly? I have absolutely no regrets. The guava pastry was incredible. The crust was light, buttery, and had this soft, slightly sweet texture that reminded me of a fresh donut. The guava filling was warm, rich, and perfectly sweet without being overwhelming. One bite in, I completely forgot I had wanted raspberries. The display case was packed with beautiful pastries and cheesecakes, making it hard to choose just one. The café had a lively neighborhood feel, and despite the language mix-up, the experience was warm and welcoming. Sometimes the best travel experiences happen by accident, and this dessert was one of them. Kasalta turned a simple misunderstanding into one of my favorite sweet treats of my Puerto Rico trip. I'll definitely be back--and this time, I might order the guava on purpose.

    I don't normally leave reviews, but it was so so bad I need people to heed my warning and not let…read morethis place rob you of what a good breakfast bakery in Puerto Rico can be. The good thing first- the line goes through fairly quickly considering how busy they were the day I was there, Sunday July 19, 2026, and parking was plentiful. Service was fine, cleanliness was good. The bad. Way overpriced for this region. There are plenty of bakeries in Puerto Rico offering the same things at half the price. The worst. The food quality sucked. Jugo de China Natural usually means squeezed to order. It was squeezed ahead of time and served with ice without being asked. Fresh squeezed orange juice is best served room temp. A good one will still be a little foamy on the top with very low acidity Ham and Cheese on Mayorca Bread- a staple of PR breakfast. Traditionally served pressed with a little powdered sugar on top that caramelizes a little because of the pressing. This one had a ton of floury tasting powdered sugar on the top and bottom of the top and inside the top and bottom of the bread, not normal at all. And for whatever reason, mine was served with the insides of the bread out side but I saw others that weren't served that way. So strange. And the ham was oddly pale. Also, no knives or forks to be found, so the extra sugar was extra confusing Quesitos- I ordered 4 to take out. I should not have. They went straight to the trash. The dough was severely under baked and soggy yet the filling was dry and crumbly without barely any sugar on top to offset the cream cheese. Arroz con Dulce- overly sweet and watery. Also went straight to the trash. Should be a little thicker from the starch of the rice combining with the sweet milk as it cooks. It tasted like they cooked the rice separately and then added cinnamon, evaporated milk and a ton of sugar without heating it. Not even a hint of vanilla to be found. For $44 dollars before tip. It was straight disrespectful to tourists and locals alike. I hope they improve because there is nothing worst than a popular spot resting on the laurels of a good location PS- The Habichuelas Escabeche were good.
