So while I was on the island I heard multiple people telling me about Gary's bakery. But my…read moreschedule was really packed and I didn't think I could fit it into the list. Lucky for me. The guys who were driving me around said we're stopping at Gary's bakery. Honestly, if you didn't know it was there, you wouldn't know what it was. It did not look like any bakery I had ever been to before, but was super excited to walk in and see what they had. The place is not flashy, nor does it look like one of those over the top French bakeries. Bakeries. It is neat and clean, and well organized. Everything is laid out for you to see and everything looked amazing. In St. Croix, if you know this place, you know the Hot ticket are the tarts. Pineapple, coconut, guava, mango, the list goes on and on. Let me put it to you. Way, you would be hard-pressed to not like anything behind the glass case. Bottom line? If you are in the island and you don't go to Gary's bakery, You are truly missing out on a national treasure. Do yourself a favor and go there today!

They did not have any breakfast sandwiches! I thought on Google it said they did, but alas, it is…read moreonly pastries. Their sticky raisin buns (almost no raisins, just sweet, which was perfect) were amazing! Their homemade bear claws were great! Everything was about $2 a piece. I was recommended this place for their bush tea and coconut pastry, but ended up with a bunch of other stuff instead. Parking is a bit tricky, but just pull right in front and it will only take a few minutes to order and pay. They were pretty nice.

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!

Stopped by this new addition to the Northshore food scene and was pleased with what Sandy Sweetz…read moreLLC had to offer. Sandy Sweetz LLC is located on Northshore Road, across the street from The Avis building in Princess. There's a small shopping strip with parking available in front. Upon entering this small pastry haven, I understood why they call it a Donut Boutique. It's very cute & modern inside and they have donuts . But their pastry selection surpass donuts and they also carry croissants, turnovers, house-made pies and cakes, muffins, along with many other sweet-treats. I also noticed that they have bottled wines and house-made coquito for sale as well. Service was attentive, friendly and patient with my inquiries. This pastry heaven is not made for dining-in and has no seating available inside. I will admit that I was taken aback by the prices, as my 1 pastry cost me $9.50, but I did appreciate that they take ApplePay as a form of payment. Overall, I have high hopes for this small business, because Sandy Sweetz LLC is a great option for sweet treats on Northshore Road Princess.

I found this bakery on yelp and the reviews let me know this was the authentic experience I was looking for. I ordered salt fish ($6 for a big bowl), dumbread with cheese ($2), and a Guava Tart ($2). The salt fish was so flavorful. The dumbread was fresh and the bread was sweet. They also use the thick cheddar cheese and warm it up upon request. The Guava tart was a great treat as well. It had a cinnamon flavor and filled with big chunks of guava fruit and guava jelly. I was completely satisfied and I cannot wait to go back next month to try other things on the menu. They are open nice and early and it's a little red door that can be easy to miss. If you're visiting St. Thomas and looking for a real authentic food experience do not miss out on this place!!! The lady who served me was also very nice and welcoming.

Plenty of outdoor seating and a great coffee/smoothie menu to start your day off right! Loved the iced lavender chai. The food menu looks great but fell short in execution just a bit. The corned beef was seemingly the thin sliced package gray chipped beef one gets at the grocery store, but the peppers were fresh and the hashbrown bowl was otherwise good fuel for the day. My son's sub had a few tiny ants crawling in the bread which was annoying and makes you wonder how careful they are in the kitchen. Very friendly girl behind the counter but she's on her own so if there's a line you might expect a bit of a wait on the drinks. I'd skip it next time except for drinks and make breakfast at home.

Was heading out around the Virgin Islands, when I realized I was in dire need of some caffeine…read more Thankfully I stumbled across Virgin Island coffee roasters. Upon walking into this establishment, it really looked more like a hotel lobby than a coffee shop. Neat, clean, well appointed, very warm and friendly atmosphere. Plenty of seating options, honestly, this is the type of place I could hang out all day. I ordered a latte with an extra shot... Be mindful, they already put three shots in a latte, so mine turned out to be a quad. I also ordered the ham and cheese croissant. The croissant was super flaky and buttery, and the cheese was melted perfectly. Major score to fill my belly before walking around the island. I really can't say enough nice things about this place. If I lived here on a permanent basis, this would be my go-to mooring spot. Bottom line? If you are in need of coffee.. and who isn't.. Virgin Island coffee roasters would be your best bet.

The staff was also very helpful and kind, no notes from a service standpoint either. Unfortunately for the price point ($40 USD total for two 24 oz coffees and a hazelnut croissant), the quality of the coffee specifically is not great. This was the second time we visited this location and the first time I got a hazelnut latte that was 20oz and it was almost too sweet to drink. This time I got a lavender latte and specifically asked for less syrup, and while it was better it still wasn't worth the money spent when you could go to other coffee shops around for a cheaper and in my opinion a better coffee. The hazelnut croissant was quite tasty, cannot speak for their other pastries which they did have a large assortment.
