"Coffee and art! This is the best of both. Gorgeous art by Katia, and delectable gelato by her husband, Giovanni. You cannot visit St. John without a visit to this gem. Warning: This is a very dangerous shop! It is so difficult to leave this happy place. 🥰❤️ I cannot speak highly enough of this shop."

"This was our favorite stop everyday! Grab coffee and croissants on the way to the beach, and then stop by for gelato on the way home. The gelato is home made and everyday there are new flavors to try! The owners are from Italy and are wonderful people to talk to and get to know. Also beautiful art pieces to purchase. This was a highlight of our trip to st John. ❤️"

"I’m a coffee snob, and this coffee is IMMACULATE it’s so smooth and no bitterness. And the breakfast sandwiches are delicious. Giovanni is also such a pleasant human! 11/10 recommend."
