You've got me laughing - with you and certainly NOT at you - but we are always surprised at this breakfast phenomenon when on the island. We are early risers and the quest for breakfast is often interesting, to say the least! Tortuga is one we generally hit right around 7:45 and even if they aren't fully open, they've usually managed to scrounge up a couple of cups of coffee to calm these savage beasts.
I haven't found anything convenient to that area that is actually open and serving before 8ish so if you do, please share..... <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />

fabila said: Not charging us for the food after taking only a few bites was the right thing for them to do and I respect the bartender for it. Was it the sweet young lady Ivanna? We had great lunches at El Zafiro so tried breakfast. First was an utter disaster, but they made it right. Gave them a second breakfast try and all went well...though I was SUPER specific to avoid the issues from the first time. I cannot stand it when someone takes an order without writing it down...unless they are super gifted. When it goes wrong, don't tell me I said something different. But I didn't see that particular young lady again on several visits. I'm lucky that I'm a late breakfast eater! Maybe 9:30 or so cuz it's after we do our Causeway workout. Sometimes we are pushing 11:00 and praying to still find breakfast options. Zee Best wins when we are late. Have you tried Green Monkey? We ate there...I think it's 8 or 8:30? Pat?

Leona,
You're asking me to think? Okay, then, I think the Green Monkey opens at 8:30, which is later than we generally go to breakfast.
It seems to me we arrived there around 7:30 and read the sign and ended up going out to Maho and Tortuga. By the time we got there they were just about ready to open and invited us to be seated. It's such a nice setting to watch the beach there from a different angle and the breakfast was good, too.
Respectfully,
pat

La Sucriere in Simpson Bay opens at 6am. Decent patio out back.
The Taste Factory opens at 0630a (SB)
Bon Appetit at 0700 (SBR)

I thought that La Sucriere opened early. The patio is a very pleasant place for breakfast. I personally am perfectly satisfied with a quiche or a croissant from there, but, unless something has changed, they don't serve eggs or pancakes, stuff like that. However, I usually just send Eric for carry out from there and bring it back to eat on the patio at Beachside! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" /> Although, they usually have quiches available pretty much all day, so it's easy to pick some up for breakfast the next morning when we're running around.

I am blessed. My morning routine consists of a walk from OBBR over to the French side lookout on the point and back to a lovely breakfast that my husband has prepared of fruit/cheese/baguette/coffee on our deck. I always stop at L'Oasis on the way back for a cup of wonderful freshly brewed French coffee with Martine so I've had my fix of delicious coffee and can have an additional one from our coffee maker without feeling cheated. Only 23 more days to go - I can almost taste that coffee - the French certainly know how to do it right!

I think the OP/Louise had a less than desirable experience earlier in the trip at Bon Appetit.

I have never been to either and breakfast is not something I have to have. Give me a Hilma JC and I am set. Bon Appetit kind of scares me due to the traffic being so close. Exhaust and safety come to mind.

Carol,
Didn't you love that morning cup of coffee out on the Towers balcony? I'm an owner there and I love my first cup on the balcony while waiting for the sun to break.
We've also breakfasted at ElZafiro with success each time and our lunches there were always pretty good, too. Sorry for all those who have had lesser experiences and at the same time, grateful ours have always been so good. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />

We always eat at ZeeBest in Simpson Bay. We always get there around 7:30 and they have the coffee ready. I am not sure of their official opening time as the pastries get there late sometimes.
