The 17 best breakfast and brunch in St. Croix

This place is absolutely amazing. Across from the beach, it's the perfect location for starting your day, or for taking a break in the middle of your day. The service was super friendly, and the food is wonderful. They have GF bread & bagels, as well as tofu for an egg substitute, if you're looking for one. The coffee is the best on the island! You can grab a coffee or some ice cream (or why not both??), then cross the street to enjoy it in front of the beautiful blue Caribbean waters. Polly's is perfect!

Great little spot by the pier. Large selection of food; breakfast is served all day. Ice cream, smoothies, drinks. Large indoor space and an interior open air patio. Right on the water. We got the Caribbean Jerk Wrap, Biscuits & Gravy, and Grilled Chicken Quesadilla. All were excellent. Service was great. Good spot for lunch.

I went to Polly's at the Pier when Iwo Jima was docked in Fredricksted. This was not my first time here, but it will probably be the last. I went in around 2:00pm on a Friday and ordered a cheese quesadilla. It was busy, but not packed. I was told it may be a bit since orders were ahead. I get it 100% I've worked in the industry. After about 20ish minutes I asked how it was going with my order as the place was emptying out. The owner, I'm assuming, went to check and then told me they were working on it now. After another 15 minutes I asked her again. She went back and told me the same thing. One of the workers came up to me and asked what I was waiting on. I told her a cheese quesadilla and it has now been 45 minutes. She came back and told me the exact same thing. I immediately asked for a refund and the owner then brought it out. She asked if I still wanted the refund or the quesadilla. I took the quesadilla and left. Now, I am not one to normally complain; however, this was worse than a quesadilla I could've made at home. The cheese didn't even cover the quesadilla and so flat. I'm disgusted I paid $13 for this PLUS waited for 45 minutes. **The last picture was from November of last year, 2024.

Food was AMAZING! Service was even better! Always friendly, helpful and outright fun. Gotta try the specials and don't skip out on their fresh juices and lemonades. I'll be back soon for a cocktail!

The food is excellent. We went twice during our stay at Cane Bay. My husband recommends the hibiscus iced tea and I love the black tea. Our first meal was so yummy and just as we had remembered . Our second meal was a train wreck. We had to wait for an extended period of time while the manager and the chef were having loud arguments in the kitchen. She came and yelled for minutes on end. I felt uncomfortable and felt sorry for the chef. The manager needs to learn how to manage. Just saying.. in the end after the dust settled our food was good but didn’t go down as easy under normal circumstances .

We got new owners @ Polly’s and they are REALLY ramping things up w fresh homemade local foods and juices. The salsa’s fresh, the pico’s fresh, the guac is fresh, the berry lemonades, hot sauce! (Don’t get me started on the hot sauce.) … the list goes on and on. ¡I mean, come on, look @ this tofu sandwich! It’s the little things … I think … NO, I know Polly’s is going to be a fabulous eatery icon of Frederiksted in no time …. just like ITAL In Paradise is to Christiansted. We know you’ll do great and F’sted will LOVE you. ¡Good luck Chris and Ariela … We’re proud of you and your new staff!

My assumption is their profit is mainly gained through tourism. Ordering breakfast over the phone for pickup at 7:08 went for pickup at 7:15 ( as a government employee I started 8:00 a.m.) and then being late to work because no one's paying attention behind the counter when my order came out. 20+ mins I was late to work when I had plenty of time. It's a shame to have a great menu great breakfast menu friendly atmosphere great attitude but the overall service is bonk! Just like most of the businesses here for the locals but for the Tourists. And for clarity: there was two other people in the restaurant only. It was not busy, cruise ship they had not started. Literally no excuse for that wait time especially my food was sitting right there 🙄

The buffet was horrible, and our tablecloth was mold while their google picture of the restaurant looked clean and inviting. The buffet had plain salad, four different types of pasta that were terrible, plain white rice, fried potato slices, terrible fried catfish, dried out chicken curry on a stick that was like jerky and wouldn’t come off, mussels I didn’t have the courage to eat, and dried out turkey on a Buscetta toast. One of the pastas may have had a few tiny bits of beef in it. The buffet was guarded by about 4 workers who dished out the slop painfully slow while acting like they were serving lobster and filet steak. It must have taken 30 minutes to get through the line while using the one paper plate they gave me at the table. The show turned out to be good, but definitely no worth the hideous buffet experience and $40 per person bill with 20 percent added gratuity.

We ate breakfast here group of 4. Food was "not impressive". It Had that Dennys feel. Bloody Mary wasn't a must have either.

The service was great! And the food was to die for. By far the best food on the island. Marissa was a great waitress! ❤️

One of the the better restaurant / bar that I have been to in some time. The drinks were very tasty & have plenty of alcohol especially the pain killer plus they have some really fancy drinks I never got around to trying. The restaurant is aways from town & is the only place you can eat at if you’re staying at the Tamerind Reef Hotel unless you drive into Christiansted & it was surprisingly very good. The service was also really good though I saw some off islanders that didn’t think it was fast enough for them, they must have been from a big city. Every server & bartender gave great service & everyone was very nice & easy to talk with. I have to point out Maggie & Nesha, two of the Waitresses who were tremendous & the bartender Richard though everyone was great. I was actually surprised how really good the food was & I was there for ten days & had everything on the menu for all three meals plus all the great specials. I have been to many restaurant/bars on the beach yet not with the good food this place has. It is extremely popular & the locals come from all over the island to eat, drink & enjoy the great live music & really fun events they have every night like Disco Bingo & dance lessons among other fun stuff. You also can’t beat the huge pool which is center stage plus the sunsets are incredible & the beach is on the other side of the pool. If you’re ever in St. Croix stop by this place & enjoy the great food, drink, socializing & staff. I am looking forward to going back. Remember to always tip generously, servers have a very hard job & the pay is not great, they depend on your generosity for the job they do.

This place was a joy to discover. The cocktails were pretty good, and the atmosphere was beach bar casual. But what set it apart, was the friendly staff (Jillian) that went the extra mile.

Weathered a bit, laid back casual atmosphere. What matters is the food and service were excellent... Fish tacos were the BEST! There's a marina behind the restaurant and we enjoyed sitting in some loungers under trees on the shoreline afterwards... very pretty!

Called ahead to ask if they had live music and were very happy to discover they had an amazing duet playing that night. Both our Hostess and our waitress were amazing! We didn't eat but enjoyed drinks and live music. Great place!

I would recommend this restaurant for dining. The food was good and the service was also good. The staff is friendly. Breakfast ends pretty early (10:00) so get there early. The pancakes are delicious and I also enjoyed the seafood pasta special for dinner. My husband and I visited a few times during our stay. They also have very good chocolate cake if you’re in the mood for a desert. The view and overall atmosphere is amazing.

Busy restaurant on the boardwalk in downtown Christiansted. For was good. Wasn't expecting fish tacos on a hard shell, but they were still good.

Food and service were amazing and friendly. The view is beautiful. We had the Buffalo Chicken Salad special and the fish tacos. Can't not recommend the Rum Cake enough. It's as thick as a brick and tast amazing!

This place has a great location and was gorgeous at sunset. They have a kids menu which was a plus. We wanted the dinner rolls but they were waiting on bread to rise still so we couldn’t get those. The chicken wings were good. Calamari was average. We ordered a variety of food off the menu and everyone was satisfied but not blown away. Portions were pretty good. Price is expensive for what it is. They were busy while we were there and best we could tell they only have two servers. Nice thing was bartender and another member of the staff were helping so the waits weren’t bad at all for ordering, drinks, or food. When we were leaving the server spilled a drink on me. I probably should’ve been offered some form of compensation for that but wasn’t.

my husband and i came here on our honeymoon and had a lovely dinner! eric, our server, provided us with excellent service. he was knowledgeable about the menu and specials, and created a warm and friendly atmosphere for us. we sat and chatted with him for a while and got some great recommendations for island activities as well. the food and drinks were delicious and we will definitely return here on our next visit to the island!

The atmosphere is amazing right on the boardwalk/pier. The Food was at best Average but definitely nothing to write home about. Our server Ben was super fast and extremely knowledgeable on everything. Wouldn’t go out of my way but for a night or drink at a present location this is a great spot.one big down side is they don’t start serving dinner until 5:30.

A dive bar find. Extremely low expectations that were blown away. The WVA server was really prompt and made great recommendations. An Indian type onion app was delicious!! The fresh tuna with cream sauce was amazing. The tuna was incredibly fresh and cooked perfectly. The vegan gnocchi was chock full of vegetables really well prepared. The crème brûlée cheesecake was a nice touch. Definitely worth going.

Stop here on a tour to grab a snack and a quick drink the landing has a walk up take out staircase where you can get a great pain killer drinks. They had some amazing beef patties paired with a delicious sauce that has some kick to it. If you get to stop I recommend grab a drink and take a patty!

My favorite spot on STX with a great beach view of Cane Bay. Lots of great choices on the menu and daily specials. We were there the day they had lobster with two sides. We got the large for $75 and shared it. Great bar with mixed drinks-pain killer is my fav. Also they carry Local Leatherback beer. You can also order from a take out window to take drinks to the beach. We enjoyed live music n the grass on Wednesday night. Highly recommend Win’s home made rum cakes. Almond Amaretto was one of my favorites. We tried the triple crown -sampler of 3 rum cakes.

The Landing is a must when at Cane Bay. We did The Landing for lunch on a Monday and dinner on a Friday. Leatherback on draft and a wonderful selection of drinks. The food is amazing. The Lobster and Tuna are fresh and have good portions. Check out their Facebook page for the daily specials. The staff was helpful in making selections and the food came out quickly. The sunset was amazing while enjoying dinner. Such a great vibe.

We went several times to The Landing during our week long stay. The food is yummy and the service is excellent. You can eat and enjoy the view of Cane Bay.

Perfect beach restaurant! The food was authentic and amazing, drinks were great, friendly staff and of course the atmosphere was incredible. I can't wait to go back someday.

Moderately priced food that was worth the trip. Service is spot on and the view is amazing. Walk right across to the beach and come back for more.

Fantastic Sunset Vibes and Great Bites at The Landing Visited The Landing at Cane Bay with a group of four and had a fantastic evening. We grabbed seats at the bar just in time to catch a stunning sunset over the water—definitely one of the best views on the island. The fish and chips were excellent—crispy, fresh, and perfectly seasoned. Unfortunately, they were out of lobster that night, which was a bit of a letdown, but the rest of the food more than made up for it. We ended on a high note with their delicious rum cake—moist, rich, and just the right amount of sweet. As always, I ordered my go-to drink, the Win Zinger. If you know, you know—it never disappoints. Friendly staff, chill atmosphere, and unbeatable location. Highly recommend for a laid-back evening by the sea.

The perfect big breakfast spot before a big dive. Amazing everything!!! Coffee drinks are the best on the island offering everything from Vietnamese iced coffee to coffee coladas

We had a delicious breakfast here! The iced Vietnamese coffee was so so good. Nice staff too:) The pancakes were just one large pancake. Pic is of the most delicious French toast ever!

Impressive breakfast on island time. Lots of locals seem to start their day here, which is a good sign. Had rum cake french toast grilled to a crispy outside with a soft center, along with a side of two eggs, scrambled soft perfectly. A solid breakfast treat worth repeating.

My favorite breakfast spot in St.Croix! Tasty arepas and guava juice! Must try if visiting Christiansted

My husband and I both had the American breakfast with scrambled eggs, sausage, and the hash brown casserole — everything was really tasty! We enjoyed our coffee with half & half, and the service was very friendly and attentive. Prices were moderate — we paid $55 together for a very satisfying breakfast. Overall, Toast Diner is a great spot to start your morning — cozy, delicious, and welcoming! ☕🍳🥓

Toast, pancakes, etc are highly toasted. Too much for my taste. See pictures. Order yours lightly toasted unless you like it borderline burnt.

Best breakfast I've found down on the boardwalk. All different kinds of breakfast and cooked very well. Highly recommended!

Nice cozy ambience near the boardwalk. Went for breakfast and tried quiche, avocado toast and crepe. We loved the beignet. The next day we went again but the service was very slow, so they apologized and did not charge for the food.

We had an amazing and flavorful meal. We highly recommend the Caroline's Omelet and the Snapper sandwich with salad; both were fresh and perfectly prepared. We also thoroughly enjoyed the delicious Pumpkin bread. Abby our waitress was great and attentive. ​The atmosphere was nice, quiet, and very relaxing. We had an amazing time and will certainly be back!

Just ok. It’s one of the only places open early enough for breakfast in Christiansted. The environment is cute, but all of the decor needs dusting. We ordered the bananas fosters French toast was ok—wasn’t as indulgent as I had hoped for. The bacon was cooked perfectly. Took way too long to get our order, our food, and our check. They definitely run on “island time” here. Staff wasn’t exactly cheery, but also not rude either.

Had breakfast here and it was delicious. The classic American breakfast and veggie Benedict were very very good. My son ordered Belgian waffles and didn’t like them. They were a little too soft. The coffee was watery so had an americano instead and it was perfect! Highly recommend! Staff was really friendly.

The service and the breakfast is always amazing! We come here every time we visit. The Italian sausage is our absolute favorite.

We love Caroline's! Everything we ate was delicious.

Excellent service accompanied by genuine island smiles 😁 (Thanks, Clara!) My friend came here for breakfast every day during her vacation, and told me I HAD to check it out .... so glad I did! They have both indoor and outdoor seating. The vibe inside is really nice and cozy. Outdoor seating allows you to hear the waves with a view of Hotel on the Cay. Easy access to the boardwalk. Food prices are decent and food equality is really wonderful. Wifi is available as well 😊

I have been here a few times but mostly for a drink or quick app while hanging out on the water, never been for a full meal. I was seated by Yvette the hostess. She was polite and led me straight to my table even though I didn’t have a reservation she even told me who my server would be. As soon as he was able Tim took my order and helped me choose and main. I ordered the bang bang shrimp so good not too spicy and a hint of sweet. The steak … 14oz boneless ribeye … juicy and flavorful with grill marks was delicious and just what Imagined it would be. The mashed potatoes seasoned just right without lumps. The green beans … definitely seasoned. All on point ! A little shocked to see the sides a la carte priced at $10 each when I have a strong feel the green beans are from a can. I ordered a Capashio it was ok, couldn’t taste or feel the alcohol just the pistachio flavor. I will still come back tho !

We stayed next door at the Cottages and this was such a convenient location. We had brunch,lunch and dinner throughout the week and it was always served hot and was good. Props to Tina the bartender. Her drinks were amazing and got to enjoy the sunsets having a few. Will definitely be back next time we visit the island

The food was not what I expected at all, the salmon burger was a bit dry, the fries tasted like something frozen, you would bake at home. The drinks were okay, they were a good size for the price. There was no bangbang shrimp, no carrot cake they both were frozen. The service was amazing, the view was fantastic and the atmosphere was truly beautiful and relaxing.

We ate here twice. Food was good, not knock your socks off good, but good and consistent. Bang bang shrimp was the best thing we had. The Sand Castle salad is also very good. The wait times can be pretty incredibly long. The wait staff and bartenders are wonderful. The view can’t be beat.

We ate here every day we stayed at Sandcastle on the beach and we were not disappointed with a single meal! They have daily food specials and a set menu as well. I would highly suggest the garlic steak skewers, the lemon garlic wings, the grilled pork chops, and the coconut jasmine rice. The white chocolate bread pudding was everything! All of their mixed drinks were delicious and refreshing and none of the bartenders ever skimped us on liquor! We had exceptional service every time we dined. The view of the water is so relaxing! They do ask if you have reservations but we didn’t need them any of the times we dined, even the busier brunch hours we still got seated immediately. Also, Anyone can come here. You do not have to be staying at the resort. They do brunch Saturday and Sunday from 10:30-3pm. Every other day they serve lunch and dinner from 11am-8:30pm (if I’m not mistaken). Feel free to swing by even if you aren’t staying at Sand Castle for a yummy meal on the water.

Beach Side Cafe at Sand Castle on the Beach is a pleasant place for a meal. The water view is great, with nice views looking north to Frederiksted. Waitstaff cheerful and attentive. Food was nice and brought promptly. Definitely worth considering if you’re on the west end and looking for a nice meal and even better view.

Great view! Nice staff. We had a nice lunch here. The chicken salad sandwich was very good. The white Chocolate bread pudding was awesome! We went on a Sunday at 245pm with no reservations and they were serving “brunch” it was a popular place.

Absolutely Amazing Beachside Dining Experience! Louie & Nachos Beach Bar in Frederiksted, St. Croix, is hands down one of the best beach bars I’ve ever visited! If you’re looking for a laid-back, authentic island vibe with stunning oceanfront views, this is the place to be. Situated right on the beach, you get a front-row seat to all the action—snorkeling, jet skis, and even the pier in the distance. It’s the perfect spot to soak in the beauty of St. Croix while enjoying fantastic food and drinks. If you’re expecting air conditioning, you won’t find it here—but trust me, you won’t need it! The refreshing sea breeze and the relaxed atmosphere make for an unforgettable dining experience. We ordered the Hangover Nachos with shrimp, and they were absolutely delicious! Instead of traditional tortilla chips, they use house-made potato chips, which added an incredible crunch and flavor. Honestly, this dish alone is worth the visit—it’s the ultimate hangover cure! One of the standout features of this spot is the a la carte tacos menu, allowing you to mix and match different flavors for just $7–$8 each. We took full advantage of this and tried a variety! My husband went for the Jambalaya and Blackened Mahi Mahi tacos, while I opted for the Vegan, Blackened Shrimp, and Fajita tacos. Every single one was bursting with flavor—except for the Vegan taco, which wasn’t my favorite, but hey, you can’t win them all! Beyond the incredible food, the service was top-notch. The staff was friendly, attentive, and genuinely made us feel welcome. The location is also super convenient—just a 10-minute walk from the pier, making it an easy stop for cruise passengers or anyone exploring Frederiksted. If you’re in St. Croix, Louie & Nachos Beach Bar is an absolute must-visit. Great food, amazing views, and the perfect beach bar experience—I will definitely be back next time I’m on the island!

The service was absolutely terrible. Slow, the servers were on their phones the entire time and seriously acted like we were bothering them. They also had pajamas and house shoes on, rude and short as well - upset I didn’t want to order alcohol. Food was decent, but honestly I expected to get sick from it as all of the cold ingredients were lukewarm & not cold. (Salad, ranch, lettuce). The MAHI BLT had no bacon in it - zero- that’s the whole point of a BLT? Views were great but I wouldn’t come back.

Louis & Naco’s is hands-down one of the best spots on the island. Great vibes, great food—just awesome all around. Every visit feels like a treat, and it’s definitely one of my personal favorites. If you haven’t been yet, you’re missing out!

Perfect place for a quick bite after a dive or day on the beach. The view can't be beat and the food is amazing. One of our must whenever we are on the island.

Best bar on the island. Best view of the water. 10 steps to the ocean. Great atmosphere, great drinks. Super friendly staff. Food was fun and affordable. We ate here at least once a day on our week long trip. They also make the best painkiller on the island.

This place serves some of the best tacos ever! They may not be the world's best, but I'd go back every single day if I could. The flavour on the taco was well seasoned and fresh and the pineapple juice was quite refreshing. The fries were also well seasoned and had a good crunch to them. The view is also wonderful for sunsets with Sandy Point visible.

Nice place to grab a bit to eat and drink right next to the water. Good breeze to cool off and beautiful views. Service was on point with no issues. Food was fantastic...I got the nachos and my colleague got the Taco Salad both delicious. Drinks came out quick and server always checked on us. Definitely a spot to chill after a long day of swimming and boating.

My son has a ceasar salad and a smoothie. I had an almond caramel late. All amazing.. The smoothies were Great! We Will come back before we head out!

Trey and his private chef services were a highlight of our girls trip to St Croix. Trey was laid back, reliable, easy to work with and had a large menu selection to choose from. Everything was so fresh and yummy! Crab cakes, roasted veggies and the lobster pasta were some favorites. He was very affordable for the quality and amount of food provided, we had so many leftovers!! I wish we would have done it earlier in the week to enjoy them. Book Trey, you won’t regret it!

Today is 4/16/25 and the lady that took my order over the phone was not pleasant even worse in person to pick up my order. She got my order wrong by giving me a wrong size drink. I paid for a large matcha and was given a medium and all she did was add extra milk to fill up the large. My Frappe was loose n watery. And it tasted bad. This is the first time coming here for years and I have never had such a bad experience. I don’t know if this place is under new management now but some training on customer service and professionalism needs to be had immediately or they will lose more long time regular customers such as myself. My fries was like they were dipped in oil with zero crunch or freshness like they usually are. The whole experience and atmosphere was horrible. Even the other two workers on the floor didn’t look at or greet no one walking in.

Four or us ate here for lunch. We each had a meal with chicken and all the meat was extremely overcooked and dry. Either that or the meat was from super old chickens. Very tough. The fries were good but the coffee was not good either. Very little flavor. Go to Caroline’s. Way better food.

They have an actual kiosk screen where you can place your order and pay without even talking to anyone! I have been saying for years this is what every place on the island should be doing, and here is probably the first! Amazing!!!

Very rude server,the lady with tattoo was very condescending, and robotic, insisted to order from the window, while looking to order some pastries. My order was not in, and wanted to give me the wrong order. Bad customer service!

Best specialty coffee on island!! The Extreme Toffee Coffee is the best. Always a perfect choice for breakfast in the mornings. Specialty wraps, specialty sandwiches and bagels, great fruit smoothies, soups and lunch specials and finally amazing pastries like the Guava Cheese Quesito. Service always warm and friendly. Love this place!

Food here was delicious. A little pricier than other cafes nearby. Street chickens come at you with a vengeance 🤣. Nice outdoor seating. Very strict policy of only 2 people inside cafe, at a time. Coffee was very good.

Twin City Coffee House and Gallery is one of the best cafés you can experience in the Christiansted downtown area. This locally-owned & operated gem of a coffeehouse has so much going for it! Their menu is always filled with delicious breakfast options and even seasonal favorites! Located on Company St , next to the corner with Sonya’s Jewelry, this café is right off the road and you can easily drive by it. You can see their sign from the street. Twin City Coffeehouse has a quaint patio area in front with group seating and only a limited amount of space inside. To order, walk-in, see their menu board and place your order with the kind & attentive local staff. Make sure to say “G’mawnin” or “G’afternoon” when you enter! 😊 Truly great service that is knowledgeable (so pick their brains about anything on island). Their menu has a plethora of goodies from: bagels, sandwiches, fruit bowls, oatmeal, salads, pancakes, wraps, burritos, omelettes and French toast. There’s also seasonal renditions of cultural flavors integrated into the menu like their coquito french toast! Not to mention your favorite coffee blends, one of which a scrumptious coquito latté! I REALLY love this café and its only downside is the limited seating space. In the past, there was a lovely quaint patio in the rear which was perfect for coffee dates away from others. But as I understand it, they had to place an alternative power generator back there due to the frequent power outages. Good for them! Businesses need to adapt to the islands faults. Overall, I HIGHLY recommend the Twin City Coffee House & Gallery when in Christiansted town.

Small store with a good staff. We went because it was open at 630am. Coffee and tea were good. Nice outdoor sitting area where you can be harassed by street chickens.

Twin City was great! It was right down the street from where we were staying and the women were very kind, they had a good selection and it really reminded us of CRAVE coffee where we live which is a nice family owned business. Definitely check this place out!

Great little coffee shop for a morning stop! Really friendly owner.. she even gave us some good island recommendations since we were visiting. Recommend Tom-Tom to drink and BELT or egg sandwich. She even has gluten free bread options.

Unfortunately we were too late for breakfast but the Pastries well made up for it! Delicious! Also the owners were very nice and the rum cake was amazing!

Enjoyed the atmosphere of this coffee shop. The fresh juice and coffee is perfect for the mornings but the breakfast sandwich could use some improvement.

Take Kate S.’s sound cradle class. TRANSFORMATIVE and simply perfection. I was visiting the island for a few weeks, if I lived in St. Croix I would be in attendance every week. She genuinely has the gift.

So wonderful! We went three days in a row. The staff couldn’t be nicer. Smoothie bowls are made with TLC. Gorgeous location, very relaxing! Cute cat to keep you company.

I was vacationing on the island for a week and decided to take two yoga classes while I was there. The Hatha class with Kelly and the Vinyasa class with Brin were great. The studio cat, Duke, was very welcoming and made sure my props were ready to go before class began. The acai bowels and smoothies were so yummy. I really enjoyed the open air studio since the weather was beautiful both mornings I attended classes.

Great little hang out while waiting to fly back stateside. Leah was a doll! Very sweet and engaging. The fresh watermelon mint juice was amazing! Will definitely be back when we visit St Croix again!

I’ve never had an Açai bowl before. I got the raspberry frozen base, fresh fruit strawberry and banana, toppings granola flax seed and peanut butter, with a squirt of honey. I thought the peanut butter was a risky topping but it turned out fantastic. How can you go wrong with dessert for breakfast?!

We went to The Courtyard for breakfast one morning during our visit to St. Croix. The courtyard itself is absolutely stunning and the ambiance was amazing! We walked up to the counter to order and found out that because the owner was going on vacation soon, they were out of many of the items that had attracted us to the restaurant in the first place - no empanadas and out of some of the fruits. While we were in the middle of ordering, a regular came in and the owner literally left in the middle of taking our order to make the regular's usual order. When we finally had the opportunity to finish ordering, it took almost a half hour to get our meal... and we ordered a smoothie and a few acai bowls. They were good but nothing spectacular. We would maybe go back because of the ambiance but only if we have the time to wait during neglect as higher importance customers come in.

The staff is very friendly and the smoothie was fresh and delicious. I requested to customize the smoothie and he was very kind. The atmosphere is relaxing and artsy. I highly recommend this place.

Alba’s is truly a local gem. Exactly what my husband & I were looking for. Flavorful, FRESH. We caught them as they got a fresh lobster delivery. The lobster was PERFECTION. Truly food made with love.

I was recommend this spot by a local and it didn't disappoint. After having a few cocktails, we ordered the salmon rice and sides. Well season, great portions (enough to bring home) and reasonably priced. It was so tasteful we decided to return the next day for breakfast and a birthday celebration. The choices was plentiful so we tried a bit of ackee fish, salmon cakes, and oka with greens and pot fish Definitely cooked with grandma's love (or recipe). Very clean local establishment, ask to try the popular drink mamajuana for $5. Tell them Iee sent you. Enjoy

Great meal at Alba's today- I had stew conch, plantains, and veggies and I've truly never ordered a conch dish with such a generous amount included! Very flavorful stew, the employees are friendly- only problem is that Google Maps has the location wrong.... Alba's is across the street from the single story blue building with white shutters that says "U.S. House of Representatives" on it. Best meal of the trip by far :)

5 Stars – Authentic Flavors and Amazing Service! My wife and I had an incredible dining experience at Alba’s Restaurant in St. Croix. I ordered the stew conch and she had the stew beef—both were packed with rich, homemade flavor that reminded us of true island cooking. The seasoned rice, rice and beans, tostones, and homemade potato salad were the perfect sides—fresh, well-seasoned, and satisfying. On top of the great food, Ray took excellent care of us. His service was friendly, attentive, and welcoming, which made the experience even more enjoyable. If you’re in St. Croix and looking for authentic local cuisine and warm hospitality, Alba’s is a must-visit!

Ordered here while on vacation, food was very good , lots of options to choose from . I love that they had a “buffet style selection - where you could see what is on the menu for today “ .

We wanted lobster and a local directed us to this mom and pop restaurant! We were NOT disappointed! They dont serve it in a tail, but in a bowl of garlic butter broth with onions, green, red and yellow bell peppers. You also get a plate of yellow rice and beans, and an additional side. I had the same dish but with shrimp. I wasn't hungry enough for the rice and beans but instead poured the broth onto my rice, and ended up finishing the rice. Absolute heaven! We recommend parking right in front of the restaurant as we felt the neighborhood was a little sketchy at night, close to the Fredriksted pier. Super friendly owners we thanked them repeatedly for the delicious food, their nephew was our waiter/bartender, they even gave us the recipe for the broth! We ate the food too quickly for pictures! Lots of flavor, clean floors and tables. Not crowded.

Drove to the west side of the island looking for local cuisine. Can’t get better than Alba’s! Got there right when lunch was being served so had roast pork with cassava dressing and rice and beans. Also tried king fish which was a delicacy. Finished off with some tamarind juice for a lovely dinner with some of the best food on the island. For those who cruise just walk past the first street and explore St, Croix .

The food served by Martha's Deli was simply delicious and we came here twice during our weeklong stay at St Croux. Our favourites were the conch soup, fish creole breakfast, and banana fritters. The soup was flavourful and nourishing and I wish we got a large. The creole breakfast had super yummy and fresh vegetables along with fish. Would definitely recommend!

Our last meal in st.croix was worth It! Let me start off by saying we were welcomed as soon as we entered the restaurant with great morning energy. Worship music was on and the workers seemed very pleasant. Now I ordered the creole breakfast and It was delicious. My partner ordered the curry chicken roti and I that was absolutely amazing . It was full with flavor and spice just how It should be . The passion fruit and cherry drink was also great. I will highly recommending you stopping by here for some breakfast .

The service was amazing. The guy at the counter was so nice. The food was AMAZING. We got the Saltfish creole breakfast. The fish was so good and not too fishy at all. For the amount of food you get the price is good!

Hands down one of our favorite places on the island. Fantastic salt fish and Martha cakes!!! We ordered the Creole Breakfast.

*Ive gone back several times since my last review and its definitely a HUGE change in customer service. Always met with a friendly face and good vibes. The food is still the same deliciousness I remembered. I really like the crucian breakfast but if you don't order ahead of time expect to be standing there until next year. The customer service is lacking. Staff takes orders for other people (who didn't call in) who just stroll in before others waiting to order.

The place itself is pretty chill, overall the food was very good and definitely worth the money. Would recommend!

Service was excellent. Food was great also.

My wife and I stopped in for lunch before going to the grocery store. I am so glad we did. We just moved to St. Croix a month ago and are looking for local food places to enjoy when we can. We passed it several times before going to Home Depot and decided to try it out. The moment we got out of the car we could smell the wonderful aroma of good food. There were several choices of rice, meats and fish, plantains and other Dominica dishes. I had the spare ribs with rice and beans along with a scalloped style plantain dish. My wife had the baked chicken, lomein and the same plantain dish. We thouroghly enjoyed the many flavors before us on the table. Very large portions with enough to take home to enjoy again and again. Thank you to the pleasant ladies for explaining the variety of food to us to make a well informed decision on what to order. Will definately go back again to try different choices to enjoy.

Overly priced for a lunch plate salmon rice veggies and a drink $30. My colleagues stop going there too. Food isn’t worth the price and they don’t provide a menu price for the buffet style of serving. Food was good but not for the amount or quality.

Excellent authentic food here. Just some tables to eat at hence the atmosphere. A hidden gem.

I loved the food! They have a variety of cooked food to choose from! I really enjoyed my food. I had season rice, stuffing, beef, and fried pork! It was delicious 😋 😍

Don’t miss out because it’s not in a pretty touristy area, a typical case of when being a little more adventurous pays out.

Best flan I have ever had in my life. Chicken relleno was 🔥🔥🔥. Awesome service.

If not the, one of the best Latin food on island!!!

Coming on island since 1986, we have discovered several excellent dining establishments. On the East End of St Croix, the Grapetree Bay Hotel provides one such location: the Far East Steak House. My wife and I returned again for supper this past Saturday evening. Few restaurants on island offer the panoramic views the downstairs patio of the Grapetree Bay. Sunsets can be spectacular and tables are feet from the surf. Wear a hat - it can be windy. On Saturdays, Steve Katz provides the sophisticated guitar music that we have come to enjoy over the years. The retro-60s center round bar captained by Morgan (pardon the pun) offers the usual island drinks and cocktails; the Planter's Punch adds just enough dark rum molasses to offset the sweet tropical fruit. The wine list is modest - ask for the Captain's list if needing something a bit more celebratory. I know little of sake but hear they are popular.The staff is attentive - Jeremy oversees the dining room. His wife Dana, a server, is a fourth grade teacher on island and can handle any situation with grace. Olivia, Brett and others work efficiently and unobtrusively. The best news for 2025? Josh and Amy Sayres, our hosts, have found a winner in Chef Eric Marshall. On island, as the chef goes so goes the restaurant. His menu is Asian themed: the sushi rolls are large and fresh; edamame and poke salad are favorites. The choice of egg roll changes and will sometimes feature Caribbean lobster. Entree items provide choices for carnivores, fish aficionados, and vegans. My family has sampled most of the choices. My recent choice - almond-encrusted Chilean sea bass with sticky rice and a crisp vegetable medley - is my hands down favorite. My wife continues to order the sesame-seared tuna. Some of the adult kids are meat-lovers and favor the filet and strip steak. When in need of meat, I look for the ginger-tinged short ribs. Desserts consist of tropical fruit flavored cheesecakes, key lime pie and island after dinner drinks like a Lime in the Coconut or Bushwhacker. I've heard it somewhere before: come for the views, stay for the food. And don't forget to tip Steve Katz. Like my family, you will make memories.

Great stop for lunch while exploring the east end of the island.

Pretty mediocre over all. Service was fine and staff were all friendly. We made reservations for the Thanksgiving buffet for lunch. It was decent. Definitely nothing to get excited about. But I guess it's what to expect being on a US island in the Caribbean. They gave it there best shot, maybe. Mac and cheese was dry as a bone. Burnt to the pan. Turkey was OK with the gravy. Stuffing was from a box and was pretty bad. Ham glaze was pretty extra and unnecessary. Mashed potatoes and gravy were the best part. Not quite sure what's really going on at this hotel. There's also no beach. Pool was nice. Just realized - Judging from the reviews (11 as of my post) they are mostly first time reviewers which is sketch and all 5 stars.

First time here and Chef Fire did an outstanding job! We shared the Korean Beef Bowl, Pork Ribs and the Shrimp Dumpling - Best Asian food I have had on island! Kelli was an efficient and friendly bartender! All with a spectacular view!

This is the place, the right food and the right atmosphere. If you can’t find happy here it’s not to be found because this is the greatest place with the best people. The food is made delicious and exquisite. The staff was friendly and always willing to take the time to smile and help you.

My wife and I stopped by after a trip to Point Udall for lunch. Not a whole lot of places on that end of the island to eat. We gave it a shot. First off the view from that bar is one of the more scenic spots on the island and thats saying something. The bar tender had just started a few days ago and what a great guy. I ordered a hamburger and he asked me if I like cheese. "Do you REALLY LIKE CHEESE"... I do. Try the Graptree Burger. I did. It was served with what seemed like a pound of cheese that had been melted and crusted over on top of the patty. Its a good spot and those folks are working hard to get that place on the food map.

Food is disgusting. I ordered a medium well burger and got rare meat. So I ate my fries. The virgine margaritas, which is technically a lemonade was made with stale lemons/limes and charged at $12. And regardless of service, 18% gratuity is added to your bill. The waitress was very nice though.

Stopped for an early AM drink. Dirty banana was great. Stay away if you are afraid of real dive bars. If not, it's great for drinks anyway. Grab a drink, and enjoy the island!

DO NOT go to this place! They had a bulletin board displaying their very limited and expensive menu. We ordered coconut shrimp (appetizer) and what came out was NOT shrimp. It looked like General Tso's chicken from a Chinese buffet that had probably been sitting out for days. It had some kind of glaze that resembled teriyaki or similar. No batter, did not taste like shrimp, and didn't resemble anything like coconut. Then the so called "chef" came out and insulted us and said if we could not afford to pay, then not to order. He indicated he was an "executive chef" at such and such, and what came out was downright horrible in addition to the insults from the "chef". The only pleasant part of the experience was the server. She was very attentive and expressed regret at the horrible experience we had at this place. We turned around and went to the Flyers Bar and Grill and that place was very good!

Considering requesting a menu with pricing. We ordered cheeseburgers. They were tiny burgers with a side of fries for $25 each. The tables were covered in Christmas cloth in March. Thank goodness the service was friendly.

There are many options around, but we thought we would give this a shot! We were greeted kindly and asked if they were serving breakfast. The server went and asked the “chef” and came back and told us they had “eggs, sausage, bacon, and toast.” I ordered that without the bacon and my boyfriend had just the eggs (scrambled- maybe 2 of them). We should have known when there were no prices listed that it might be a bad sign! The food took forever because the “chef” was also the only person who could make their signature drink, “the dirty banana.” Bland eggs, an inch and a half piece of sausage, and barely buttered wheat bread later (again only for me), we were told the total was $50!!! We were FLOORED!!! We got 6 tastier pastries WITH jam around the corner for $12! Skip LA Cafe and go anywhere else for better food with upfront pricing! Lesson learned!

Stopped off here due to reviews. Wish I hadn’t. Wasn’t busy at all maybe 4/5 tables outside. Ordered fried chicken and Johnny cakes. Waited and waited took nearly one hour and was the driest chicken I’ve ever had. There’s a kfc next door which I only noticed after we ordered so wish I’d gone there. Also cost 22 dollars for this dry chicken.

Awesome spot for fresh cooked meals. Just about everything on the menu is great. The pastas, wraps, roti down the the chicken and fries do not disappoint. It is a fairly busy spot so if you can I suggest calling ahead to place your order.

Loved this place. We planned to stop in for a quick drink but ended up spending a couple hours. Definitely heading back my next time on the island.

Really beautifully set/decorated cafe! Very boujee western style with fancy lattes and food. A bit pricey as I spent $19 for avocado toast and a latte with soy milk but I guess that’s normal here. Very sweet staff and it was really nice to sit and work here for a bit. Air conditioned seating inside but also seating outside.

Coffee and pastries are excellent. Went multiple mornings while here for vacation. Husband said one of the best lattes he’s ever had. Atmosphere and decor is great and outdoor courtyard is lovely.

Located directly behind of the fragrance store, it’s has such a peaceful feel. Iced latte was good and the barista was very courteous with a very welcoming smile!

Best in Christiansted. Millennial white and tan decor, real espresso machine (Rocket), appropriately hip employees. :) Took a nice long A/C break with an iced latte and my book.

Amazing place, perfect atmosphere. Delicious coffee, fresh pastries. Recommended for visiting!

Lovely place to have a coffee in a real mug! Hard to find that on the island. I had the best cappuccino with oat milk in a while. The food was also so good! Simple but very tasty, and good quality ingredients. I haven’t had fresh mozzarella in a sandwich anywhere else, what a treat 🙌

The best cafe on island! The sandwiches are delicious (I recommend the tomato, prosciutto with pesto and add mozzarella on a bun), the coffee is made with love and passion, the ambience makes you want to hang around for hours on end but most importantly the staff is kind and caring.
