VJ's Bakery

Antigua


Since 1989, this family-run outfit has evolved from a small backyard bakery to a modern facility that churns out not only fresh bread but a mind-boggling selection of habit-forming cakes, including red velvet, butter-rum and cheesecakes. Turn off at the sign off the main road in Liberta, then follow the dirt road for 500ft.
