Barefoot Buddha

One of the worst salad bowls I’ve ever had, for $17 ! Ordered the Veg Out bowl with sweet potatoes added. And when I opened it later, the bowl didnt have half the ingredients mentioned in the menu. No hummus, no tomatoes, no sprouts and the “mixed greens” was just lettuce. She had told me they were out of roasted beets, so I expected that but she didnt mention that it would just be a bowl full of lettuce and sweet potatoes with some dressing (the dressing was good though). I expected better from the reviews of the place, extremely disappointed.

I stayed out on the island of St Thomas for a little over a month and absolutely LOVED this restaurant! The atmosphere, service and food are unsurpassed. This is hands down the BEST PLACE to grab breakfast and a latte on the island. There is beautiful art on the walls, plenty of parking and low carb options that I wasn't finding anywhere else. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

THE BEST coffee shop on the st.Thomas island. Excellent coffee, amazing food. We found it on the way to the airport located at the heart of the island. A must to visit! Thank you guys you made our last minute of the trip just perfect!

We saw the good reviews, so skipped breakfast on the ship and came right here. We were completely happy with our choice!! First off the food was outstanding across the board. The quiche was awesome as well as the falafel wrap. If I had to pick the start of the show it was the bacon egg and cheese croissant. When we went, the outside looked like it was closed up for good. Probably renovations.... Just go upstairs and in the front doors. These fools are doing it right!!

We were looking for a place to get some vegan food for lunch and found this one right outside the cruise port. We had sandwiches, which were delicious! We tried the veg out, maker veg, and sweet potato Rueben. The Rueben was the best! Good fresh iced tea and lemonade, too.

I had the Buddha McMuffin and a chocolate chip banana muffin. The McMuffin was just okay. The sausage in it was extremely dry and bland. But the banana muffin was delicious! There is free parking around the back, a restroom (have to ask for the key), and seating inside and outside. But there was no wifi (or at least that was what we were told).

Great coffee spot and healthy shakes. The food options are fantastic. Every time I have had a breakfast sandwich or a regular lunch sandwich. They always are good. Outdoor and indoor seating is very comfortable. Across the street from cruise ship dock Havensight Mall.

Barefoot Buddha is a MUST! We were lucky enough to eat there recently. The food, smoothies, and coffee are delicious. We wish we could have taken the coffee blend back with us on our travels. What makes this place exceptional (other than the amazing food) is that they treat you like family. Thankful for finding this gem is an understatement!

I took my daughter here while stopped in St Thomas from a Disney cruise. I like to get out of the tourist area and find somewhere more local. The gal managing the place was very kind and made sure we got my daughter a grilled cheese even though that's not a menu option. I had their soup even though it was pretty warm out, it was delicious. A coconut creamy type curried soup served with some bread. The iced coffee drink hit the spot in the heat. The place filled up the longer we were there but the table space is limited. It's not air conditioned so keep this in mind! The cast members from our ship also spent their break time here so I trusted I chose a good spot.

The Ambiance is chill. My favorite place for breakfast on the island. Truly enjoyed this spot!

A quick shout out to Tara and her team! The Buddy Bagel and chipotle aioli sauce is nothing g short of a criminal enterprise!! So much so that we came back day 2!! But here's the kick, Tara shared a little container of her love with us to say thanks!! Enjoy!!!

I absolutely love Barefoot Buddha! It's definitely one of my go to spots on the island. I can always rely on them serving the most delicious vegan and non vegan food and desserts. And let's not forget about their amazing smoothies, they're simply the best. Whether you choose to sit inside or outside, the place is beautifully decorated and has such a cozy vibe. While waiting for your food, you can even check out the nearby Niccis Boutique & Home for some shopping. Just remember that parking is available at the back and they do close early.

As always my go to spot for specialty coffees, smoothies and great snacks/lunches! Now they added a boutique shop with cute items and souvenirs to take home. I got an iced Almond joy today and an apple tart.

First stop in St Thomas from the airport. We were those people that got in just prior to closing at 3:00. They were super nice and said no problem. We were definitely happy. The tree of life smoothie was good with a hint of sweetness to balance the spinach. The farmers market panini was outstanding. I did not miss the meat as the flavors melded perfectly together. Nice chill vibe. Considering the food, service and nice folks definitely rates a 5. Thank you

This place is a boutique / coffee shop/ food spot/ smoothie spot. Such a genius idea. Drinks and food is soooo good and the boutique has so many cute clothes and trinkets. Plenty of seating inside and out. Love it! Vegetarian friendly

If I could give this place 10 stars I would. The food is amazing (Bigfoot Bagel) sandwich and the food is consistently great. The people are super friendly and the ambiance is nice. Highly recommended this place.

My friends and I were lucky enough to be on a flight with the owner of this amazing little cafe, so naturally we had to stop in and see what it was all about! When you first enter, you walk through an adorable little boutique with various souvenirs and clothes to buy, all at a reasonable price. Then you walk into the main cafe, and the vibes are amazing! There are comfy booths lining all of the windows with throw pillows that just tie the whole place together. The people are kind and even remembered our names when we came in the next day! Now, onto the main event: the food. All of it was wonderful. One of my friends got the turkey quiche and loved it; I got a sweet potato mushroom wrap that was one of their specials of the day and let me tell you: It. Was. Incredible. All of the flavors complimented each other beautifully, and I felt great after eating it! We each got different smoothies, and all of those were great too. Overall, I cannot recommend this place enough!

This place is soooooooo good. I'm vegan and found this place my last day there which was a lil bit of a bummer because I would have loved to have eaten there everyday. If I could give it more than five stars, i would!

Food is really good but some items were not available which was slightly disappointing and no hot cause lol ?? Service is great and amazingly relaxing ambiance

The environment gives off a coffee shop vibes. Probably a really good place to get some work done or meetups. They were out of a lot of things unfortunately. They do have a lot of vegetarian options & one vegan wrap. I'm sure a lot of the food can be made vegan but they don't have gluten free wraps. But lots of vegan baked goods as well. The smoothie I ordered was really good & my family enjoyed their food. Try the quiche!

Didn't see too many places to eat in the are while we were in port for our cruise but we gave this place a try. My sandwich was very tasty, i think i got turkey and bacon. It was a bit heavy on the garlic for my taste but still delicious! Generous portion. My family did not enjoy their coffee drinks and the service left a lot to be desired in both friendliness and helpfulness. It's a tiny place and gets packed quickly.

My boyfriend and I had breakfast here one day during our trip, and we spent the whole time talking about how we want to open a coffee shop just like it! He got the standard drip coffee (which was good) and I got a dirty chai tea latte, which was herbal and unique, but SO good. He had a Turkey wrap and I had the quiche with a salad - seriously their salad is even the bomb. It felt so refreshing and good after a week of eating out on the island. Great food, great drinks, great service. They even had a cute little shop with a bunch of zero waste items. Very laid back, boho atmosphere. I'm a huge fan and recommend it to anyone staying in the area.

What's not to love here! This is a regular stop for my friends who are islanders here. I've been here several times and the cafe is alway busy with customers. There are regulars and the folks who are in town from a cruise or visiting. Many options on the menu that will satisfy the most picky of eaters. I left my clutch here at my last visit and the owner looked at the bench herself and found it. Thank you so much!

Yummy coffee! Fresh food - when a café runs out of fresh greens, you know their farm table! Sweet staff

Concise Review Our daughter's favorite meal, and snacks for all of us on the flight home! ----- Longer Review We visited St. Thomas, USVI, for the first time in 2021, and had a great time. On the drives to and from our room at the Marriott, our daughter noticed the Barefoot Buddha. She looked it up and definitely wanted to work there. Timing and meals worked out such that we picked get her lunch there on the drive to the airport on the way home. We walked in and ordered... she ordered the Farmer's Market Panini and the Sweet Ting Smoothie, with extra local honey. The food was great The food was completely gone halfway to the airport... except for... dessert, which we saved until we were airborne. We had also ordered two brownies made with coconut mixed in, and a cookie. I was skeptical about the coconut, as I generally don't like it, but the brownie was gooooood. Thank you, Barefoot Buddha. We'll see you next trip! ----- ----- -----

This little cafe was awesome. It had a great bacon egg and cheese sandwich. Just a 2 min walk from the cruise pier. Many great food options and great iced coffee.

Just finished brunch at Barefoot Buddha and all I can say right now is wow!! The food was so delicious and the vibe is super chill. I got the Rusted Root bowl off the special menu and my hubby got the Bodhi Breakfast bowl with scrambled eggs and no cheese. We both enjoyed our food and our bellies were nice and full when we were done! We also enjoyed our iced lattes: mine an oat milk Chai and his an almond milk mocha. We highly recommend Barefoot Buddha for breakfast/brunch! I wish we had more time to come back again but this for sure has inspired me to make more food like this back at home. P.s. We also bought the vegan chocolate berry muffins and had them back at the condo.... O.M.G.!!! So yummy!!!!

Wow I stumbled upon this place while on vacation in St. Thomas. I was looking for healthy food options and so glad I found this spot. My only regret is not eating here more and tasting the other delicious food options on menu. A nice variety of Coffee, Teas, breakfast stuff (burrito, muffins etc.) wraps, fresh baked goods, bagels and delicious smoothies make up the menu. The smoothies are delicious and the other food my friend's got and I tried (especially the wraps and shanti muffin) were fantastic. I highly recommend stopping by if you are in town and want fair priced quality healthy eats.

They make a decent cappuccino but if there's anyone in line prepare to wait... and wait... and wait some more. And ain't nobody got time for that.

Had a great lunch here today. I love the vibe at this place and the service is always great - take a buzzer and pick up your food and drinks at the counter. Dined in and enjoyed a hippy salad with a passion fruit citrus vinaigrette and a citrus mint iced tea. Ate here with two other friends who raved about their food. This is a great spot to enjoy wholesome healthy food and smoothies. Wish I'd taken photos of my food, but I already demolished half before I remembered.

Amazing place , relaxing and lots healthy choices. Free wifi, friendly service , music very good Overall the experience was amazing

AMAZING. This place was sooo good. Great coffee & tea, amazing food, cute cafe and patio. I had their bodi Buddha breakfast bowl, which I wish I could eat multiple servings of! My husband had the breakfast burrito, which was also really good. Their banana bread was excellent; it was less sweet than typical ones, and more hearty (did they use some wheat flour?). Fresh, tasty ingredients. Clean bathroom.

We all have our fat days, especially during the holiday season. When I wake up wanting something healthy for breakfast or all day, I go to Barefoot Buddha. St. Thomas, isn't into health and fitness. They are into fried foods, booze, and beaching it up. So when you think you've had enough of that, pop on over to Barefoot Buddha to detox all of that bad stuff out of you with a Kale or Spinach Smoothie. Honestly, in the two years that I have lived on this island, no one else makes actual healthy smoothies. They all use that sugary syrupy fake fruit stuff, that's like having diabetes in a cup. The food here is meant for rabbits. Everything is vegan, organic, or vegetarian, which is the break your body sometimes needs after an overdose of meaty fried goodness. My favs are the smoked mozzarella tomato panini or Hummus and goat cheese with rosemary panini. Both will set you back about $10, but that's reasonable on this island. I looooooovvvveeee sundried tomatoes and both paninis feature them. Conveniently located across of Havensight, its an easy trek across the street for those cruise ship goers, or if driving, park to the right hand side of the building near tropical tours or in the back (its limited so you may have to park at Havensight). I wish that the restaurant was open past 3pm daily. I have been told before that they are open until later, but every time I have tried that they are closed, and when that happens, its a super sad face. So come in the early afternoon or morning to get your healthy fix and enjoy! #St.Thomas #USVI

Great place for breakfast/lunch. We got the drip coffee with almond milk and it was really delicious coffee. For food, we ordered the breakfast burrito and the sweet potato wrap. Both were fresh and tasty. The burrito is a bit spicy just FYI. The decor inside is really cute and they have a little shop as well. The menu (pic posted) looks a bit smaller since COVID.

Great cofffee and vibes at Barefoot Buddha. Lovely indoor/outdoor seating, beautiful decor and a good playlist. The hot menu items were just OK for us and definitely very pricey but we frequently tried whatever "day old" baked goods were available and they were all very delicious! We also tried tree of life smoothie and a smoothie of the day which both were good, not great. We also found a bunch of amazing eco friendly gifts at the front of shop! Worth a stop but be ready to spend a little more than other coffee/lunch spots.

Smoothies were standard, nothing extraordinary, not impressed with the quality. They were tasteless to me. The paninis, the same. No aoili added to them, dry and nothing but scrambled eggs & a slice of cheese. No flavor at all!! I tried their green tortilla wrap breakfast sandwich & that one actually had slices & taste. The croissant sandwich was soft & NOT flaky & buttery as across the street(Stir it up coffee). Let's just say that if you just want to hang out, use their WiFi & tables this is the place for you. But, if you care about quality & taste, better look someplace else like "Eyeza Vegan." I visited Eyeza 3X & it was unfortunate they were closed on Sunday-Monday.

They don't allow you to quietly work on your iPad inside (while waiting for food and eating) but they do allow multiple people to talk loudly on their phones inside, or at least did not ask them to refrain while I was there.

The sweet potato wrap with rosemary goat cheese and chipotle aioli is AWESOME!!! Five stars. When I returned to the island this year and drove by Barefoot Buddha I saw the new sign and my heart lept for joy. This place has been such an iconic business and a place where many of us gather and get good wholesome food and a very chillaxed zen atmosphere to socialize. The previous owner created such a jewel, we all grieved when it closed. Corey, the Chef was always top-notch. To hear that she has bought the place and updated the decor and menu is very exciting. I couldn't wait to go in and see if the sweet potato wrap was still on the menu. It was! I look forward to trying new things but it may be a while because once you've had that wrap it is hard to consider anything else. Goes perfect with a vanilla lavender lemonade or a chai - both delicious! Congratulations to Cory and her partners. Thank you for investing in a place that serves the heart, stomach, and soul!

I didn't have the greatest experience ever here, maybe it's the unpopular opinion. Prices are incredibly inflated. A basic breakfast bagel will run you $8-$9 dollars. I personally paid $12 for an average sized breakfast burrito. It was nothing special, in fact, something in it put me off. I think it was the sun dried tomato cream cheese. It has a weird sweetness when I wanted something salty. The actual operation is also super chaotic. It felt like 20 minutes passed before I got my food. Orders were coming out in the wrong sequence, things seemed to be sent back and wrong a lot. Overall, it was okay. I wouldn't go back.

we have been coming here for years! We love the food, and the new renovation looks great! Its such a shame that one staff member can ruin the years of good experiences in one day, Martha was very rude and unprofessional, ignoring me in the line and refusing to give any recommendations. food was still amazing tho!

I've been to Barefoot Buddha a few times over the years and I love their zen vibe, good food, and boutique next door. I wanted to try the vegetarian roti but they were out. I got a refreshing hibiscus unsweetened iced tea and the sweet potato wrap with hummus, spinach and goat cheese (minus aioli and tomato). I liked that the wrap was grilled, but I'm not sure I was crazy about the flavor combo. My husband enjoyed his tuna salad sandwich with mango chutney. We also had a vegan coconut cake with was yummy.

So excited that Barefoot Buddha is BACK OPEN on St. Thomas! New management, new decor, amazing food. Had my first falafel ever for lunch - the wrap was bursting with color and flavor - and loved grabbing some goodies at the local artisan booths on the to-go side. Perfect indoor and outdoor areas for enjoying a bite! Welcome back, Buddha!

Walking into Barefoot Buddha is a breath of fresh air. Located across the street from Havensight mall, you can get a tea or coffee, grab a healthy bite or smoothie, shop around in the boutique, AND pick up your mail if you register for a P.O. box there!!! My one and only fuss is that they don't offer free wifi. Can't have it all I guess! Other than that, an iced coconut mango tea is my favorite and I have heard nothing but rave reviews on their wraps and smoothies especially for those vegans out there! Whenever I'm done hemorrhaging money from moving down here, I have my eye on some maxis and necklaces I want to buy.

Let me preface this with saying that I usually never take the time to write a review unless the place is exceptional. It was my first time here. They re-opened recently. I got the falafel wrap. Excellent! So tasty, and well made. And it was baked, which was an added bonus. Efficient service. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. HUGE plus is they have lots of outdoor seating and disinfect the tables frequently!!

Great breakfast and lunch sandwiches. Coffee is fresh and hot and the staff is friendly and no problems accommodating special requests. The fruit smoothies are fresh and very flavorful. They have a few outdoor tables which are well shaded. This is a good value and a great stop for something quick also.

Barefoot Buddha is a very delightful place. Good food, friendly staff, and lots of vegetarian and vegan options. Really cute place with beautiful artwork. Their smoothies are delicious. Give Barefoot Buddha a try!

The vegan bagel sandwich was delicious! We had one almost every day we were there. The vegan cheese and hummus was so good. Highly recommend! It was a little pricey as it did not completely fill us up. We did order chips too. They were also good.

My absolute favorite place on the island! Everything is made with such love and intention! I have thoroughly enjoyed all menu items I have ordered from this place; it is true magic!

This is my absolute favorite coffee shop on island! They have been in business for 13. years and they have the best Organic Coffee! Barefoot Buddha also has a vibrant menu full of healthy and delicious options for the whole family. If you stop by be sure to ask what the daily specials are because they are to die for. From the moment you walk into Barefoot Buddha, you are greeted with radiant smiles from the staff, they are friendly and very helpful. The atmosphere is relaxing and has a beautiful island oasis kind of feeling. While you wait for your order be sure to check out the boutique, it is full of beautiful clothing, jewelry crystals and more that are sure to enhance your wardrobe. Once you get your order there are 2 seating areas inside and outside. Inside they have AC that is cool and refreshing and outside they have a beautiful garden area where you can sit and enjoy their delicious creations. I hope you enjoy your visit to this slice of heaven. Love and Light Cassandra P.s you have to try the Cubano and the Buddha Blessing!

Took a bus to get to this restaurant in hopes of getting something vegetarian from a place with such positive reviews. When my date and I attempted to place an order we were prompted to wait a "couple minutes." A few minutes later we were prompted by the staff to have a seat at the table and someone would be over to help us in just a moment. Some 30 minutes later and still no food or order even taken. We ended up leaving as the staff seemed preoccupied with ensuring the food counter didn't grow legs and walk away or something. Luckily, it seemed secure and stayed motionless much like the staff of this restaurant. Next time my date and I travel to the islands, we will be sure to avoid this pitfall. Although this might be a good place to use WiFi if you like spending $5 to "add wifi to your order." STAY CLEAR.

The best spot for healthy breakfast and smoothies!! The girls behind the counter rock. I had the big Buddha wrap and five berries smoothie. Delicious taste of organic food. My next trip to St. Thomas, this place will be on the top priority list of restaurants. Thank you!!

This place is awesome... small and zen... please pay attention to the present while ordering... the establishment appreciate this! Coffee is great, I got a vanilla latte and it was made perfect! Not to sweet! Just perfectly delicious. Also ordered a croissant sandwich and a bagel sandwich... the best part of these were the fresh spinach and tomato!!! The people here are super friendly and welcoming!

A perfect crew restaurant right near the pier where the cruise ships dock! Healthy, organic food served in a hipster little cafe... everything is made fresh. I visted St Thomas a few different times and always came here for lunch. Every sandwich or dessert I had was delicious. Love that they have an array of gluten free desserts- also their quiches are all made gluten free. Feel like a coffee or a smoothie? They make these fresh as well. Note that there is a $5 charge for wifi- but you can use it all day as long as you want and it's fast!

Great food, and great service. Got a salad and a wrap and a great quiche. Highly recommend this place. We were on our way to the airport I needed a place to eat in the service was excellent. Food came out quick.

Such an awesome part of the STT experience! Whether you need a yummy breakfast, a delicious coffee or a space to work, I love to come to Buddha while visiting to start my day!

Barefoot Buddha already looks like the inside of my neighborhood yoga studio, but it's the sandwiches that really make me feel like I'm back on the mat. The Veg Out Wrap was perfectly balanced, and I'll never forget one of my best bites of falafel from one of their daily specials. The Sweet Potato Wrap is a little more laid back, with sweet mashed sweet potato and refreshing stacks of spinach. A taste of the layer of hummus and some creamy chevre can sometimes shake things up. Grainy hummus balances creamy goat cheese, and a soft tomato holds off the crisp, fresh spinach in this Hummus & Rosemary Goat Cheese Panini, a perfectly balanced midday meal. At Barefoot Buddha, the sandwiches are superb and the wraps will wow you. So when you grow tired of the chicken and hot sauce routine of the island, ensconce yourself here, in a form of nirvana made possible only by food.

Barefoot Buddha has REOPENED and is better than ever!! Specials everyday and amazing menu items that are healthy and SUPER TASTY!!! I've been here too many times but I cannot stop getting food and drinks from here, it's addicting. From coffee to smoothies and tea to a Bigfoot Buddha Bagel Sandwich it's all amazing!!! So happy to add this place back in my weekly schedule. Thanks to the new owners for doing an amazing job updating but keeping the classics, love it!!!
