What do people mention most?

Google groups review language into topics, and the topics it surfaces for our Simpson Bay listing are, in order: friendly staff, baguettes, croissants, the lagoon view, the almond croissant, the iguanas, the chocolate croissant and the quiche. Staff is mentioned by a wide margin more often than any single product, which says something about what actually makes a bakery.

Do you answer reviews?

Every one, at both listings, including the critical ones. When someone tells us a ham and cheese croissant arrived cold or that the inside was underbaked, that goes to the kitchen, not to a template. A four point six is an average, not a promise, and the gap between 4.6 and 5 is the work.

Where can you leave one?

On the Google listing for whichever maison you visited, or on TripAdvisor. If something was wrong, we would genuinely rather hear it first: message us on WhatsApp at +1 (721) 544 3549 or email contact@la-sucriere.com and we will fix it while you are still on the island.

Amazing bakery. You can't go wrong with any of the food here. Chef knows what they are doing. Lamination they achieve is likely difficult in this tropical climate, but everything that should be flaky, is spot on. Staff is very friendly and helpful as well.

I've been to Paris three times, and this place is legit. Ordered a chocolate croissant and a cappuccino, and both were incredible. The women working here are very patient, kind, and efficient. Definitely check this place out, you won't be disappointed.

The best croissants we had our entire trip, and we tried a lot. They have really great coffee too. We stopped here twice. They were accommodating when I let them know I had an allergy. Beautiful spot to sit by the water as well.

We had such a wonderful experience at La Sucrière in SXM. The atmosphere was beautiful, the food and service were amazing, and everything felt so welcoming from start to finish. A special thank you to Chanique, who was such a pleasant person to work with. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Sint Maarten.

Such a cool spot for a quick and deliciously prepared sweet breakfast experience. The pastries were just right, not too sweet, clearly scratch made, and the coffee beverages done well. The waterfront eating area out back, complete with friendly resident iguanas, was the icing on the cake.

This place has such fresh and yummy sandwiches and treats that are reasonably priced. But wait there is more, if you make your way to the back of the bakery you can sit outside on their lovely deck and be entertained by the visiting iguana who actually loves the camera. Stop by you will be so glad you did.

Stumbled across this wonderful spot. We had a tasty spinach quiche for a light lunch and almond croissants. Lots of filling. Great atmosphere and view. Chanique was patient with customers who were presented with too many selections.

Happy to see this quality bakery in town. Ladies are very friendly and attentive. Love the Paris x Caribbean ambiance and typical Paris music that was playing. As a local, just very happy to see entrepreneurs coming back to Philipsburg.
