The Inn at Tamarind Court was a local gem of a place with several affordable guest rooms for let and a fantastic bar and restaurant where breakfast was served daily. Pop-up nights with local “celebrity” chefs and themed cuisine kept the place packed for dinner several nights a week and the bar was always filled with local wildlife during happy hour. Hurricane Irma ravaged the budget friendly inn with a spectacular Cruz Bay location in September of 2017. And, after two years of clean up and construction, the Inn at Tamarind Court announced in January of 2020 that their guest rooms were once again ready for seasoned St. John travelers. But, the favorite watering hole and eatery remained closed. Until now….

Local Livin’: Baked With Love in Love City
A while back, I was privileged enough to sit down for dinner with two dynamic and talented St. John born women to chat about their homegrown business in Coral Bay. An ingenious build out of a shipping container with the lingering smells of freshly baked treats sits adjacent to the building that used to house Pickles in Paradise. And within the walls of this shipping container, Ann Monsanto and Brenda Stephenson create magical, freshly baked flavors on par with the quality of a decadent corner bakery in Manhattan with the charm and hospitality of Love City. Building their dreams, one muffin at a time.
