place to buy food at cruise port to take to the beach?

[MNsun2019]

We're 99% sure we're heading to Brewer's Bay and as it sounds like the odds of any food options being ready in the week are slim, is there a place anyone would recommend to grab food to take with us as we come off the ship before jumping in a taxi? Our plan is to hire a taxi vs the safari bus so maybe even a known option along the way? Thanks!

If you have no wish to purchase at the beach, then just ask your Restaurant Maitre D' to organise a pic-nic for you.  They never say no.

OK, Thanks! We're happy to support a beach cafe, but it sounds like the one we are going to won't have food yet.

I'm not aware of any cruise line that will prepare a picnic to take off the ship due to agriculture laws.

To clarify, I'm asking if there are any cafe's or dining establishments in the Tororla port or along the road to Brewer's Bay that we can buy  "food to go".

I responded to your question in your other thread but will reply here too. The French Deli is our absolute favorite spot to grab a lunch when we go to Smuggler’s Cove or other secluded beaches. We have a vehicle, but your taxi driver will gladly stop for you and the first 15 minutes of wait time are free, each 15 minute block after is $10.

Amazing baguette subs and they carry wines, etc. Definitely worth stopping! 

 

Wickhams Cay II, directions to The Moorings, in the old Clarence Thomas Limited building. They are closed Sundays

Nicole’s kitchen has not yet re-opened, just serving drinks. Many establishments have re-opened but are still in process...

Then a MD picnic is the best way to go.

Not for us (if it is allowed) - the French Deli is amazingly delish! Definitely a treat after the cruise line cuisine...

Rather than bring something from the ship, folks should want to experience these types of places when an opportunity presents itself based on others’ experiences.

Is this anywhere near the port, or would it be found along the way to say Brewer's or Smuggler's beach?

No it is around the inner harbor, about a 2 km drive from the cruise pier and not directly on the way to the beaches. But if you take a personal (non-shared) taxi they will stop.
