A dedicated brunch and breakfast spot recently opened on St. Croix and it is all the buzz among locals and visitors on the island! Caroline’s Breakfast is the newest restaurant located in the historic King Christian Hotel on the Christiansted boardwalk offering a consistent, well done breakfast experience seven days a week. With its dainty design of banana leaf wallpaper and custom-made pink tiles, Caroline’s warm, aesthetic décor welcomes each guest with open arms.
Chris Prado is the man behind the concept and vision of Caroline’s Breakfast. As acting Food & Beverage Director and managing hotel partner of King Christian Hotel, Prado always wanted to live out the best years of his life in a place with a warm, tropical climate. After working in hotel management for several years and returning to school to become an architect, his childhood dream of owning historic King Christian Hotel became a reality after purchasing it with three partners in December 2018.
“While the hotel renovations continue,” said Prado, “opening Caroline’s Breakfast during this phase helps in adding a much-needed space to the downtown area, bringing it back to its former glory.” Caroline’s main focus is the food and their full coffee program. The menu includes breakfast and brunch classics like the standard egg benedict and unique egg benedicts such as the crab and steak options. Other dishes available are omelets, egg scrambles and an array of Americanstyle waffles, buttermilk pancakes and brioche French toast. Another one of the highlights on the menu is the crepes. Prado shared that his mom was the inspiration behind these sweet and savory delights on the menu. “As a high school French teacher, my mom had spent several years in France and would make crepes three times a week when I was a kid.” The restaurant also features a full bar with specialty brunch cocktails like mimosas, gin fizzes and Bloody Marys.
Open from 7am to 2pm seven days a week, Caroline’s Breakfast has something for everyone that yearns for an original brunch experience with a twist. For more information, visit their website at www.carolinesbreakfast.com.
