Best Breakfast Simpson Bay Area

Need help in a couple of categories.

Starting point: Mary’s Boon
destination: Orient Beach or elsewhere

1) sit-down fill me up breakfast, espresso
2) quick in/out bakery with chocolate croissants, ham and cheese croissants, squeezed OJ, expresso

Sit down at the Sint Maarten Yacht Club. Best bloody Mary on the island. Order the Eggs Norwegian.

For Croissants, french bread, etc, we've been going to La Sucriere in Simpson Bay #130 Welfare Road. Between the Simpson Bay Yacht Club and Pineapple Petes. Great sandwiches to go as well.

For sit down, we second the St Maarten Yacht Club.

For the quick in and out, Jules Bakery Jordan Village Cupecoy

Besides those places that have been mentioned, try Top Carrot.

La Sucriere. Fast, yummy and great patio.

Yacht CLub, The Hideaway at LaVista or Le Sucriere.

I second all of JD's choices. Yacht Club and the HIdeaway for sit down, with great views, but very different from each other. Le Sucriere for takeaway croissants or quiche, or you can enjoy same on their back patio. At Le Sucriere, you can also pick up great desserts for that 'night in' at home at your unit.

We always make sure to visit Zee Best which is near Top Carrot and the pharmacy. Kind of tucked in the back. I think their eggs benedict is great. Plus they make quite strong coffee and have an assortment of pastries and croissants.

...just don't eat any of the pastries that they serve in the basket on the table, as they are recycled. The pastries in your basket could be leftover from someone else's basket that they put on the table, and other customers could have handled your pastries. Yuck!

I never returned there after seeing that happen. Not sure if it is still done that way but I do not care to find out.

Ditto. You beat me to it. Seen it happen many times. Double yuck.

A lot of people like Cafe Atlantico. Both sit down and takeout.

On Sundays Dinghy Dock has an all you can eat champagne brunch. Not sure what time it starts but its a fun place too.

You're right Carol, we always said no thank you and they would take them off our table. Thank goodness I'm not much for pastries as it is very tempting.

We love Zee Best and go several times per trip. You can never have too many Eggs Benedict! Hubby likes the omelette's or Huevos Ranchero. I don't eat pastries, so have no issue.
The crepes are good too if you still have room.

Yacht Club is another great place for breakfast.

We've also just gone all the way to Orient and had breakfast in the village. Good Morning is a nice place to sit outside and eat.

I believe Bikini on Orient Beach is now offering a breakfast selection.

Sit down - Vesna's Taverna. Take out Cafe Atlantico

I've heard great things about Vesna's Taverna It's on my radar for next May.

A favorite of Jeff Berger. And, he does their website, what a coincidence.

We'll that doesn't mean much.

What does that tell ya? Still I have heard only good reports about it.

What does that have to do with the quality of their food or service? Have you been there?

Vesna has been very good on the days where they offer the Greek food and the owner was in house, which I believe is Saturday now. Ate there other times when it was regular menu and the owner wasn’t there, it wasn’t extraordinary. Go when she’s there and you can enjoy good Greek food and service.

I'm curious, because I don't know, is there such a thing as Greek food for breakfast? Or do they serve American type food for breakfast at Vesna Taverna? I've actually never eaten there.

Full American breakfast- excellent food.

Only the dinner menu on Saturdays is Greek.

I had breakfast there once this last trip, eggs benedict as I recall, and was underwhelmed.

Thanks for all these suggestions.

If you at Mary’s Boon stay there for breakfast. Jeanette in the kitchen make the best carrot pancakes , bacon , french toast, eggs or anything you want. All freshly made! Seaside dining!

OK, thanks.

Im sure we will do that for sure

We discovered Vesna's many years ago and it became one of out favorites. Both breakfast and dinner are great!
