Cup of Joy | Breakfast & Lunch Café
Best Breakfast & Lunch in St. Martin 2026 – by We Are SXM, Tourist Info Center
A cozy, minimalist café in Cole Bay offering specialty coffees, fresh pastries, and creative crêpes — the perfect spot to start your morning or enjoy a relaxed lunch on St. Maarten.
Cup of Joy was born from a dream. Jade, with years of experience in hospitality, always felt something was missing on the island — a truly nice, modern coffee shop. When she discovered the space in Simpsonbay, she saw her opportunity and took it, creating the place she always wanted.
From the moment you walk in, the vibe speaks for itself: minimalist, peaceful, and cozy, with a sense of calm that’s hard to find. Whether you settle into the air-conditioned interior or claim a spot on the sunny terrace to soak up St. Maarten’s morning light, every detail has been crafted to make you feel right at home.

The menu is a treat for every taste. Jade serves fresh coffee, matcha, cold brew, hot chocolate, freshly squeezed juices, and sodas.
All crafted on a piston machine, available hot, cold, or iced. Pair your drink with a French croissant, a sweet or savory crepe, a fresh-baked bagel, or a pastry straight from the oven.
Don’t miss the signature Sourdough Avocado Toast, the House Salad, the Breakfast Bagel, or the indulgent Sugar Butter Crêpe.
Cup of Joy also sells local jams, artisan coffee, and handy kitchen gear — perfect for taking a piece of the island home. Strong WiFi available for remote workers.
