Good evening, all. We will be on island May 28, and have coconut flour and coconut oil on our grocery list - thinking Grande Marche over the causeway, or Fresh Market in Madame Estate, but would appreciate any other ideas where we could find them.

Here is a map and photo.

Essentially, if you come over the hill from Simpson Bay passing by Grand Marche, turn left at the first traffic light.

That's the traffic light at the bridge?

I thought it was posted No Left Turn there.

It's before the little bridge I believe.

Isn't it the left that takes you to the zoo?

Yes, close to the Zoo road
across the street from the wastewater plant
one road over from the stp light intersection

Erick's directions are correct, but you can't make a left at that light...just go down a bit and turn around..and it's down on your right. the light is right AFTER you go over the little bridge
and NO, it's not the road going to the zoo - I think it's called Illidge Rd.

Yes, the light is on the P'Burg side of the bridge.

No left turn.

When you get turned around, yes, the market would be a right onto Illidge road at the light, then on your right as you proceed.

Instead of turning around, I usually just do a right at the first turn on Pondfill and then another right to get onto Long Wall Road, and then it's straight through the light.

If you continue on Illidge road, and bear right at the roundabout and then bear right as you approach Fresh Market you will be on Arch Road, where the Zoo will be almost immediately on your right.

Google Map here.

Does anyone know if the Simply's in Grand Case takes dollars. My memory says when it was US Import/ US Market they only took Euros.

Thanks

Yes, they take dollars. We've never converted our $$.
((Well, except for the year I bought a fabulous Dior purse in Marigot....it saved me $$.))

I thought I heard Sunny was closed again for post dated food. Have they re opened?

They were open two weeks ago
