Casual & Reasonable EATS in St. Thomas USVI

When I vacation, I limit what I eat during the day because I tend to indulge during dinner with alcohol and desserts. During my one week stay in St. Thomas, I dined out for lunch three times, the other days I was quite content with coffee, Chobani Flip yogurt and granola bars. This strategy helped me keep my weight in check since I seriously overate during dinner. Here to share with you are some casual spots in St. Thomas. Enjoy!Casual & Reasonable Easts St. Thomas USVI

1. Cup-N-Kettle Tea House
A hidden gem in St. Thomas and one of the best and most relaxing places for tea. Make reservations and try to get seated in the Gazebo outside with is overlooking the water. A must-do!
Cup N Kettle Tea House - St. Thomas USVI

Tea
Ginger Peach Tea (top right): Light and delicious, full of flavor.
Bourbon Street Vanilla with Almond Flakes (bottom right): A delicious tea from South Africa that had a natural sweetness from the vanilla with a hint of almond. A favorite!
Iced Lemongrass Tea (top left): This drink was soooooo incredibly refreshing, we ended up ordering 2. A favorite!Tea - Cup N Kettle Tea House - St. Thomas USVI

Breakfast & Homemade Pastries
Egg & Cheddar on Croissant (bottom left): Good sandwich, but nothing out of the ordinary. Simple and good.
Scones with Lemon Curd (top): Delicious, light scone, perfect for afternoon tea, went well with the lemon curd which was so light and slightly tangy. A favorite!
Coconut Tart Turnover (bottom right): Also delicious and very light. Scones, Croissant - Cup N Kettle Tea House - St. Thomas USVI

RESTAURANT REVIEW: Cup-N-Kettle Tea House
COST: $-$$
CUISINE: Tea Rooms/Breakfast/Brunch
FAVORITES: Bourbon Street Vanilla | Iced Lemongrass Tea | Scones with Lemon Curd
VERDICT: 4.75 / 5
Cup-N-Kettle is a hidden gem in St. Thomas. This is the perfect place to enjoy afternoon tea sitting out on the gazebo and enjoying the cool breeze. This adorable tea house is run by Evelyn, a super sweet lady, who takes so much pride in her assortment of 500 tea sets she has collected while traveling the world. Her passion is inspiring. Being a tea fanatic myself, I appreciated the various blends of tea, normally I just stick to English Breakfast. The prices here are quite reasonable given that most places in St. Thomas are rather expensive.
Food: Excellent | Drinks: Outstanding| Décor: Casual/Relaxed | Service: Friendly |Value: Reasonable

LOCATION: 2GA Estate Ridge Road, St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands

2. Barefoot Buddha
A healthy foodie’s dream come true! Lots of vegan and vegetarian options. Bagels, paninis, salads and more! A must-do!Barefoot Buddha - St Thomas USVI

Beverages
Coffee (left): Perfection and steaming hot!
Almond Joy Latte (right): Pretty good, but on the sweeter side.
Mango Coconut Smoothie (right): Refreshing and delicious with little bits of coconut. Beverages - Barefoot Buddha - St Thomas USVI

Salad, Panini, Sandwich
Juliet Salad (top left): Prepared with greens, gorgonzola cheese, toasted walnuts, red onion, and cranberries tossed in a raspberry vinaigrette. This salad was truly amazing, however I have a very strong aversion towards gorgonzola, and thus I had to eat around it. The dressing was excellent.
Mediterranean Bagel Sandwich (right): I need to replicate this at home! Toasted bagel filled with hummus, sun-dried tomatoes, fresh roma tomato, feta cheese, red onion and fresh spinach. The sun-dried tomatoes took this sandwich to a whole new level. The Mediterranean flavors came together impeccably. A favorite!
Smoked Mozzarella Tomato (bottom left): Delicious panini filled with tomato, sun-dried tomato, mozzarella, fresh basil, fresh spinach and chipotle aioli. The aioli sauce was slightly spicy but nothing I couldn’t handle. Excellent. Panini, Bagels - Barefoot Buddha - St Thomas USVI

RESTAURANT REVIEW: Barefoot Buddha
COST: $$
CUISINE: Cafe/Sandwiches/American
FAVORITES: Coffee | Mediterranean Bagel Sandwich | Smoked Mozzarella Tomato
VERDICT: 4.5 / 5
Barefoot Buddha has a Zen feel and is a fun place to hangout with your laptop. There are plenty of health options to choose from on the menu. This cute cafe is located across the street from the Havensight Shopping center, close to where the cruise ships dock. A must-do!
Food: Excellent | Drinks: Excellent | Décor: Casual | Service: Friendly |Value: Good

LOCATION: 9715 Estate Thomas, St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands

3. Shoreline Bar & Grille @ Point Pleasant Resort
A casual & decent lunch spot with incredible views of Water Bay. Shoreline Bar & Grille, St. Thomas USVI

Coffee (top right): Solid.
Shoreline Mahi Sandwich (bottom left): Mahi Mahi sandwich served with chipotle aioli and fries. This sandwich was grilled well, however it was too bland.
Curried Roti (bottom right): Roti wrap stuffed with chickpeas, potatoes, onions and peppers. The wrap was good, but unfortunately they ran out of the roti wrap and I had to settle for a white wrap. The side of Caribbean Street Corn was delicious, however it was very spicy. I can handle spice, but I’m thinking the average person probably cannot. Entrees - Shoreline Bar & Grille, St. Thomas, USVI

RESTAURANT REVIEW: Shoreline Bar & Grille
COST: $$
CUISINE: American/Caribbean
FAVORITES: Caribbean Street Corn
VERDICT: 3.25 / 5
Shoreline Bar & Grille was pretty average/good for me. The mahi mahi was the biggest disappointment because it was quite bland, something was missing. My favorite here was the Caribbean Street Corn. Overall, a good spot to have lunch if you don’t mind decent food and amazing views.
Food: Good| Drinks: Good | Décor: Casual/Local Vibe | Service: Average |Value: Slightly Overpriced

LOCATION: Point Pleasant Resort, 6600 Estate Smith Bay, St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands

PANEER TIKKA QUESADILLAS are mouthwatering! Here's PANEER TIKKA QUESADILLAS are mouthwatering! Here's an Indo-Fusion dish you will love! I made a delicious marinade for the paneer and sauteed it along with the veggies. Assemble your whole wheat quesadillas and cook until the cheese has melted. The best part about this dish is my "special taco sauce" which complements these quesadillas perfectly. ⁠

Happy Mother’s Day to all you moms who show up s Happy Mother’s Day to all you moms who show up selflessly every single day. Also, a happy mothers day to all of you who want to be moms. ❤️  This is the most challenging role of my life, but the journey is totally worth it. Krish has made me a stronger and happier person. He gives new meaning to my life.  And lastly, my kid couldn’t give me one nice picture of us in Hawaii… there’s either someone in the back or he’s making a face or he just wants to get away. He just can’t sit still for a minute… and with that a Happy Mother’s Day to me! 🥰

Vacationing with a kid has been a completely diffe Vacationing with a kid has been a completely different experience. While it’s nice to spend time as a family, dinners can get tough with a baby. Sanjiv and I enjoyed a romantic evening at House Without A Key in peace because Krish “thankfully” fell asleep (he was behind us I promise… swipe). It was so nice to converse with my better half over live music + cocktails, delicious food, and the BEST coconut cake (last pic). A memorable meal and evening! ❤️ #mylove

Aloha 🤙! Our first family trip! We made it to H Aloha 🤙! Our first family trip! We made it to Hawaii safe and sound, and Krish was pretty good on the plane. It’s my first time in Hawaii and I’m loving Waikiki… the beach, food, window shopping, and city life. I love being able to walk everywhere. It’s the perfect amount of action and relaxation for me. This is totally my kinda vacation 😎!  Krish has been loving all the people-watching… something he doesn’t do much of back home. He’s been flexible and has pretty much adjusted to our schedule. Thank you 🙏🏼 guys for all the food recommendations (Duke’s Hula Pie) and tips on traveling with a toddler. I can’t thank you all enough. ❤️ #myworld
