This friendly bakery has a street terrace where you can observe the colorful goings-on of Place de la Victoire. Opening early and serving decent coffee, croissants and other freshly made pastries, it mainly serves as a breakfast spot for those who've stayed the night in Pointe-à-Pitre. It also does good made-to-order sandwiches.
