Choisy Boulangerie-Patisserie (Gustavia)

Boulangerie Choisy in St. Barts is a standout bakery that truly lives up to its reputation. The atmosphere is lively yet relaxed—perfect for a morning stop or mid-day break. It has the charm of a classic French bakery with the friendly, laid-back feel of the island. The quality here is exceptional. The croissants are perfectly buttery and crisp, the croquettes are rich and flavorful, and everything we tried was fresh and expertly made. Whether you’re in for a quick espresso and pastry or grabbing items to go, everything is consistently excellent. Service was friendly and efficient, even during the busy hours. It’s clear why this place is a local favorite. Boulangerie Choisy is a must-visit if you’re in St. Barts and looking for authentic French pastries and top-tier baked goods.

In an island that a cheeseburger would easily cost you €45, this bakery is really like “heaven in hell” when 2 pieces of flaky and buttery danish and a cup of cappuccino costed a mere €12.70. Excellent baked goodies.

We had coffee and pastries here every morning in St. Barthélemy. Everything we tried was beautiful and delicious. We tried two locations, one in Gustavia and the other near Nikki Beach. Both were incredible. You'll see locals and tourists, really great vibe. The croissants are perfection are the Pain aux raisins.

Classic French bakery 🥐 Great selection of baked goods. Sitting outside is preferred if you want to do a little people watching.

I got a mini beignet and a croissant. I devoured it before even taking a picture… how shameful of me. It was so so good! Update: easily the the best choice. I went back on Sunday at 7:30a. You must go VERY EARLY TO HAVE THE BEST SELECTION. The pastries are warm and light. The croissant I had was flaky light and absolutely wonderful.

This spot is special to me. Not crowded, but crowded enough to learn the culture and vibe of the French. I’m humbled by the help I’m given for ordering in terrible French. Start the day with a hot croissant and a Americano cafe’

Super nice, even though I couldn't speak French. I tried. They were great. Food is incredible and very reasonable prices

Croissants first rate, Tradition less than average. Nice ladies serving. Would not buy baguette here again.
