Bakeries

Sint Maarten is home to some fabulous bakeries, sprinkled throughout the island. Some give off a homey feel and others are fancier with a wide assortment of foods. Whether you’re searching for a quick place to stop in the neighborhood or you want to experience fine pastries, Sint Maarten is the place for you and yours. So, let’s get to it and break down the Battle of the Bakeries! Let’s start local and when I say local I mean a quick walk from the Cupecoy area at which I’m staying. AND seriously it’s a quick walk, because anything more I wouldn’t be walking.

Baguettelle Bakery 6/10

• Nearby
• Not too busy
• Friendly workers
• Cute atmosphere
• Good menu selection
• Fair pricing 
• Fresh goods

Baguettelle is a small and friendly bakery in the Jordan Village area. Kind workers with a family and community oriented atmosphere. They serve an array of pastries, foods, and drinks. Baguettelle has a menu where you can choose delicious sandwiches and more, to take with you on your adventures around Sint Maarten.

Need to drop in quickly and pick up a drink, no worries they have a fridge section available as well. This bakery is quaint and cute boasting an adorable design theme of cute colors and yummy pastries around the store. From Baguettelle, I got a yummy slice of Flan. Large and filling for only a few dollars. They had donuts and tarts on display as well. I truly had a hard time choosing what sweet treat I wanted from this adorable little bakery. While I was browsing in Baguettelle a young boy ran in to grab an after school snack. He was too short to reach his drink of choice as it was on the top shelf

Chez Fernand La French Bakery 9/10

---

• Excellent assortment
• All names are in french (workers will help you)
• Freshly baked goods
• Natural juices
• Not very allergy friendly
• Fair pricing

Chez Fernand is a gorgeous bakery that’s only a small drive from Sint Maarten. Located in Marigot, sits this wonderful French bakery. I have never seen baked goods as beautiful as the ones at Chez Fernand. I mean gorgeous and aesthetic pastries and foods, available in a wide variety. I had a wonderful Vanilla caramel tart and I went back only a few days later to grab yet another one. I had friends who went and got the same thing because they loved how delicious it looked and had to try it for themselves. I am talking about fresh and mouth watering foods and  pastries.

They have quiches that are perfect for reheating for breakfast and probably even better to be eaten warm at the bakery itself. You can get fluffy croissants or delightful cold wraps. Everything at Chez Fernand looks so yummy and the prices are incredible. Less than 75 cents for fresh and crispy baguettes and a few dollars for pressed juices to wash it all down. Just a quick trip from your place in Sint Maarten sits this gem in the heart of Marigot. Plus you and your group can walk all that food off by touring around some stunning picture destinations in the area. Don’t forget to grab some for later because you’ll want more!

Rendezvous Bakery 8/10

• Brunch destination
• Friendly service
• Good menu options
• Cost friendly
• Occasional live music
• Centrally located to many hotels

Rendezvous serves meals all day and deserts too.

You can grab a warm latte or a cooling frappe. You can choose from a sweet or savory breakfast. Comfy outdoor seating that is under a shaded area and enough space for live music when applicable. Rendezvous has been a life saver since we arrived in Sint Maarten because sometimes we want quick and affordable meals that are beyond delicious. Just a quick walk from most places in Cupecoy and located next to a multitude of shops and stores. You can grab your breakfast and walk over to Cupecoy beach to enjoy some scenery. Or grab your food and go check out the port. Need to pick some things up from the store, no worries! Rendezvous is located close to a market as well! This area is perfect for families and groups. Grab your folks and eat your fill at Rendezvous! 

It is no surprise that bakeries litter our friendly little island of Sint Maarten. A melting pot of cultures is bound to have plenty of sweet treats from each! Like I said, the little island, most of these places are within walking distance from hotels and resorts and others are worth the short trip.

Remember for delicious and gorgeous pastries head to Chez Fernand, for a local tasty treat head to Baguettelle, and for a yummy meal with pastries for dessert don't forget to head to Rendezvous. Grab your people or you work and walk on down to your nearest bakery! Absorb the atmosphere of Sint Maarten from the comfy chairs of a quaint local spot. Plus, these places are awesome for recovery after a night out which is our next blog topic. Join us again for our final Sint Maarten Battle of the B’s where we experience the bars of Sint Maarten!
