At this little takeout-only bakery you will find the perfect coffee, freshly baked croissants or doughnuts, an assortment of fresh bread, French desserts, traditional cakes, and more. Be sure to get there early though, as there's often a line waiting for them to open! All of the pastries are handmade, and once they're gone the shop closes for the day.
If you're looking for a good deal, this might be one of the best-kept secrets in Provo. Tucked inside the exit to Graceway Gourmet supermarket, this juice and coffee bar serves blended and pressed juices packed with fresh fruits and vegetables (and, at $7 each, they are a steal). Solid Gold Baby! has Asian pear, green apple, orange, lemon, turmeric and ginger, and if you need a break after some late nights at the bar, consider the Liver Flush, with carrot, beetroot, ginger, and lemon.
Walk 1,600 feet down the beach from the cruise terminal to find this local beach bar. It gets busy with volleyball players, and offers chair rentals and tropical drinks. It's best approached from the beach, as from the back it looks like a warehouse. Casual food such as burgers and hot dogs are on the menu as well as local fare. There’s a coupon on their website for a free shot of Bambarra rum. The bar opens by 9 am, the grill by 11 am.
Once they discover this little gem, most locals and visitors make a point of starting each day here with a cup of the best coffee on the island. There are a few chairs and tables inside the café, which shares its space with an adorable little florist and gift shop, and more seating outside along the main drag of Grace Bay. If you're looking for a quick and easy bite, you can grab a pre-made sandwich from the cooler or choose one of the homemade pastries. Also if you're interested in having a proper afternoon tea, Lemon2Go also hosts tea parties, just make sure to call and book this in advance.
Lillian Clare cooks up some incredible local delicacies in the kitchen of her small coral-colored home. As with most places, there's no sign, so just ask around. The menu changes based on what's available, and when the pot's empty the kitchen is closed, so it's always best to get there early or call ahead to put in your order. She takes advantage of local flora and fauna—sometimes there's pearbush bud and rice with dried conch and sometimes you'll get to try hog bush "cabbage" soup. It's takeout only.
A favorite local treat is homemade ice cream, and Aunty Nann's makes some of the best! The owner Cherline has crafted delicious flavors that are sure to cool you down on one of Grand Turk's famously hot days. Some of her most loved flavors include the Toasted Coconut that is a creamy coconut ice cream with toasted coconut flakes and the Bambarra Rum and Raisins—a traditional flavor with a local twist as the rum used is the locally made Bambarra Gold rum. Just look for the blue and pink cart to get a taste of Aunty Nann's homemade ice cream.
This takeout joint doesn't look like much, but it's a good place to get some local food, as evidenced by the locals who gather here. In addition to conch fritters (the best in town, they say), they also serve real island food like oxtail and cracked conch. There are picnic benches out front.
Located in the heart of Grace Bay, this coffee store has all your favorite caffeinated options as well as tasty treats and satisfying breakfasts. With free Wi-Fi, this place is also great for getting some quick work done as well as people-watching.
The perfect stop on a hot day, El Coco offers refreshing smoothie bowls that'll leave you ready to take on the heat. The bar serves fresh juices mixed with your favorite choice of liquor. Also a store, you can purchase anything from locally made bags and baskets to teas and eco-friendly, sustainable items made from coconut shells.
Whether it's a whole fried fish served along with a helping of conch and rice or it's simply chicken and fries, Fresh Catch has options to satisfy. The space is a regularly frequented lunch spot, but like all places in Salt Cay, it's best to call ahead.
The left side of this tiny shack is Friskyz, where you can grab a takeout lunch or a light bite of conch fritters or potato wedges. Everything is fried, but that's what makes it all taste so good. There's a picnic bench outside the takeout window, and the spot overlooks the ocean and beach.
This is a must-try, as it has delicious home-style island cooking. They have a wide array of local dishes and something for everyone. For around $10, you can order a full meal consisting of peas or okra and rice, a barbecue main, and another side. Located directly next to the Gustarvus Lightbourne Sports Complex, this is also the only drive-thru restaurant in the country. So just look for the row of cars lined up on the side of a brown building.
Occupying the right-hand side of the shack that houses Friskyz, this is the spot for conch. In fact, it's basically all they serve—and it's the freshest in town. They wait until you place your order to crack the conch out of the shell, so get a drink and grab a seat on the sea wall as it may take awhile to get your meal.
Head through the outdoor John Glenn landing museum to this laid-back spot for lunch, cocktails, and beach views. They offer traditional island cuisine, including jerk chicken and pork, as well as burgers and wings. As you look out on the beach you'll see the cruise ships to the left and the model beached whale to the right.
Order a coffee, tea, bagel, deli sandwich, salad, or dessert at this island institution (opened in 1992) on Leeward Highway, just south of Turtle Cove. There's also great pizza, which you can order by the slice or by the pie, and the deli case and market shelves offer all the foods—plus some beer and wine—you need for a fancy picnic. There are tables in air-conditioned comfort, as well as on a shaded patio outside. The location's not close to where most tourists stay, but it's worth the drive.
