on island now. other than la sucret what are the names and locations of other bakeries. we want to do a who has the best croissant comtest .

Our favorite location for almond croissant is Zee Best in Simpson Bay. Café Atlantico is another on Airport Road and Sarafina's in Marigot. The plain croissant's at La Croissanterie in Marigot(sit down restaurant) are flaky and delicious. FB page.

La Croissanterie in Marina ort La Royale offer excellent fresh baked on site croissants - love their chocolate croissant - also full B&L menu.

================
some other options

I think Serafina's is the best but too far from Simpson Bay. We usually only make the trip once in three weeks.

Our favorite location is La Sucriere on Welfare Road

Not exactly an answer for your question, but the Croissants (almond) we get from La Boutique at Club O are the best we have ever had. Perhaps someone knows who supplies them to La Boutique?

There use to be a bakery on road to Mt. Vernon....but I don't know if it is still there. Anyone know? What is the name of it?

Another vote for La Croissanterie. Croissants, crepes, and also a nice place for lunch,

There is nothing made that is called chocolate croissant it is pain au chocolate.

Yes, you are correct.Pain au chocolat is made of the same layered dough as a croissant. Often sold still hot or at least warm from the oven, they are commonly sold alongside croissants.

Any place I have ordered a "chocolate croissant", they seem to know what to serve.

Me too J.D. Guess the poster prefers the French name.... <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Wink.gif" alt="" />

The bakery on the road to Mont Vernon was closed in April and looked like it had been for some time.

The Wiki agrees with you. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />

In Orleans Quarter, Artisan Bakery. Right on the corner of main road and road to Oyster Pond area. Small deck with tables for eating outside.

Another vote for Artisan Bakery. They have some items that look too pretty to eat.

Pain aux raisen at Le Croisanterie.

Is artisan near Yvettes?

If you are traveling on the main road towards Orient, it is about a block or two past the road Yvettes is on, on the right.

We often stop there for sandwiches on the way to OB. They are good!

Taste Factory across airport road east of Royal Palm is pretty good.
