Where to buy coffee beans in St. Maarten/St. Thomas?

[caribbeandreaming]

We got some delicious roasted coffee beans in the Bahamas last year, and are looking to do the same on our Eastern cruise. Anyone know where we might find some?

I usually avoid the gift shop coffees and grab a taxi to a grocery store; I do the same for spices.

Good tip!

Yes, as long as they're not from Cuba and are already roasted (I guess the roasting process will kill any harmful bacteria).

ETA: I guess you can bring coffee that's not roasted as long as the pulp? isn't attached. We always just buy roasted so there's no question
