While exploring the heart of St. Kitts, the hubs and I were fortunate to discover this little beauty. Always attracted by the pastel colors of the Caribbean buildings, add the two words “gallery” and “cafe”, and I’m so there.
Anyone who allows the street dog to snooze in the middle of the gallery floor is alright in my book. And Leah Cameron-Blake is just that type of person, and her Gallery Cafe is oh, so special. Open Mon. – Saturday, 10:00 – 4:00, the sign says: Sometimes a bit earlier, sometimes a bit later. (What’s not to love about that!) The lovely art offerings left me trying to figure out how to get them into my suitcase or ship some home. But when we ventured a little deeper inside, we discovered a cozy cafe counter, and a cool inviting outdoor seating area.
On top of that was our freshly made caramelized onion and goat cheese quiche, the pastry crust of which was so flaky and tender, it crumbled under my fork. And when Ms. Cameron-Blake brought out about a half dozen grapefruits and freshly squeezed them, hubs was in heaven, and, it was then that we knew this place was one of those hidden gems we seek when we travel.
I asked her permission to link to her Facebook page, but no one paid me for this endorsement. I just like to share the discoveries that delight us!

I love the flexibility in their opening times. What’s the point of being your own boss if you can’t just take your own sweet time to do things sometimes, right?
Laissez faire is a French term but I truly believe it originated on this side of the world.

Oh my gosh, how perfect is that place! You say that this was not a paid endorsement, but I bet you wouldn’t be sad if one of those yummy pastries showed up on your doorstep one day!

Oh, you’ve got that right! And the little gal who owns the place was such a cutie. Does all her own baking and prep, then sits in her shop and draws and paints. It was a lovely find!
