I’ve been visiting St. Lucia for several days and wanted to buy a birthday present for my daughter made by a local artist. There was an amazing selection of beautiful options at reasonable prices, and I honestly had numerous options to choose from. I could not recommend more highly.

Slightly tucked away location offering wide selection of local crafts & artwork including some gorgeous jewellery.
Also operates as a cafe with some of the best coffee we found in St Lucia
One evening a week does fish & chips with love music. Lucky enough to hear 2 quality jazz singers in a beautiful waterfront location
Thanks to owner Nadia & new helper Emma for a great time

This place is a little peace of heaven. Completely relaxed and chilled and a lot of that is down to the owner Nadia, she gives off a wonderful aura of warm friendly welcome relaxation!!! A truly lovely lady. She introduced me to Tamarind juice freshly sourced and made on the island…absolutely amazing. As for her home made rum cake…WOW delicious so light and fluffy and full of flavour. I am not usually a cake eater but this rum cake, this is a MUST TRY!
Seriously though we wished we had found this place before booking our hotel as her air B&B looks wonderful and would have been perfect for us.
The cafe sits right on the waters edge of the Marina and it is so easy to spend time here watching the boats and just enjoying the tranquility which hugs you like an old friend. Wonderful!
Dear readers, if you visit Rodney Bay this place is not to be missed and you will not regret it.
Thank you Nadia for the wonderful hospitality you showed us and especially when we visited again to bring 4 of our hotel friends to see your little piece of heaven. They loved it as much as we did and when we went back to the hotel we handed out the leaflets you gave us to take away.
Again thank you, you made our holiday a memorable one for all the right reasons
Best regards

This little shop is off the beaten path (not far off, though!) and we wandered in. It's a sweet place with art, jewelry, etc. Three of us bought earrings made of dyed fish scales. Prices were good and product is really unique and pretty. There was a children's painting class going on while we were there.
We also learned that there is a Fish and Chips night every Thursday (make a reservation!) with live music. We went and it was such an enjoyable night. The fish is the only choice but it was outstanding! Would definitely recommend doing this!

Happened upon on this place by the cosmos or something. It was just magical from the entrance to the hospitality to the tea selections and the pastries -- especially the rum cake! Nadia knows how to feature artists and singers and I would go back every chance I could. I definitely recommend.

Can very highly recommend Tania’s B&b at the Island Mix cafe. Such a warm atmosphere. Beautifully situated. Conversation, art class, fish and chips evening - with possibility for privacy when needed. Should not forget to mention mention the rom cakes.

Off the main road in Rodney bay. My husband and I popped in and had a relaxing time right on the water. We enjoyed fruit juices and pastries. It felt very local and had a good relaxing vibe. Art and jewelry is also for sale.

You know when you arrive somewhere and feel like you’ve found a little bit of heaven. Well that’s the Island mix.
We walked in to this little treasure trove and didn’t want to leave ever again
Please look for it, advertising says art cafe but it is so much more.
Afternoon glass of wine at the waterfront. Absolutely adorable
Thank you guys. I will never forget this spot. ❤️

This beautiful art and craft studio has a fantastic café overlooking the marina. It can be found off the main road just past Dominos down a small road. It was a real find and a real getaway to savor a nice cake and great coffee at the waters edge. The staff are so friendly the coffee is the best we tasted in the area and far better than the hotel coffee. The also do fish and chips some days which according to our friends was well worth a try. Do visit it and enjoy a nice bit of tranquility during the day

We are planning on visiting Island Mix soon, and I am interested in purchasing several Pole People for an island inspired room in my home. Can someone give me an idea on pricing in this shop in US Dollars.
Written January 10, 2017
Hi thanks for looking us up, we would be happy to help you as we have many artist that can accommodate your request.
Can you tell me what height and width you are thinking of and material?
If you have a specific design do let me know
Thanks

Hi there I noticed a couple of interesting additions to what was I thought just a store specialising in local arts and crafts. Then started reading reviews about lovely food and a musical experience. I want some of that please!!!! I am travelling with my sister and brother-in-law over period 19th to 25th September this year. Is there any specific evening I can come along and experience all three activities, arts/crafts, music and food. Works for me, ticks all my boxes, especially if I can have the opportunity to dance the night away :)
Written August 23, 2016
So sorry I have not responded before, it has been a busy week!
Unfortunately our music event will be the Thursday before you arrive so sorry about that.
Good news, we have fish and chips every Thursday 6-8pm which is in the water front. I can also arrange a private art and sip class for you any afternoon after 4pm. You will have an artist to guide you and all supplies are included with a complementary glass of wine. You take home a canvas with your memories of st lucia.
Our cafe is open from 10:30am-6pm mon-sat we offer coffee/tea, local juice and goodies. You will live our ambience.
Hope to see you soon
Nadia
