Double Dutch Cafe — Breakfast and Smoothies Inside Market Garden
Healthy breakfast, fresh smoothies, and Johnny Cakes inside Simpson Bay's Market Garden supermarket.
Why Go
Double Dutch Cafe sits inside the Market Garden Supermarket on Welfare Road in Simpson Bay, and that location is its superpower. While most vacation breakfasts involve either overpriced hotel buffets or the sad decision to skip eating entirely, Double Dutch delivers a full spread — eggs, omelettes, pancakes, Johnny Cakes, avocado, pastries, and made-to-order smoothies from local Caribbean roasters' coffee — starting at 7 AM daily. You can grab breakfast and your groceries in one stop, which is the kind of efficiency that transforms a vacation morning from stressful to seamless.
The Experience
The setup is casual café-inside-supermarket, but the food quality punches above its setting. Fresh fruit smoothies and juices are prepared to order rather than pre-made, which makes all the difference in the tropics where fruit is at its peak. The coffee comes from local Caribbean roasters, a detail that elevates the morning cup above chain-café generic. Johnny Cakes — both plain and stuffed — connect the menu to Caribbean tradition. The buffet selection adds variety for those who want to browse before choosing. For guests at the adjacent Commodore Suites or any of the Simpson Bay condos within walking distance, Double Dutch becomes the daily morning ritual. Open until 7 PM, it covers lunch too with sandwiches, rotisserie chicken, and even sushi.
What to Try
The fresh fruit smoothies are the highlight — tropical fruit blended to order in the Caribbean is a different experience than what you get at home. Stuffed Johnny Cakes are the local breakfast that visitors need to try at least once. Omelettes and egg plates cover the hearty breakfast crowd. Coffee from local Caribbean roasters is worth savoring. Rotisserie chicken for lunch or dinner takeaway is a practical crowd-pleaser.
Insider Tip
Double Dutch opens at 7 AM seven days a week, making it one of the earliest breakfast options in Simpson Bay. For travelers with early dive trips, boat charters, or flights, this is the smart first stop. Grab coffee and a Johnny Cake on the way out the door, and you start the day fueled and on time. The supermarket connection means you can pick up water, snacks, and sunscreen in the same visit.
