Breakfast in St. Thomas

Booked our flights last night for June...yay! We arrive early and leave early so on arrival day if we don't eat at the airport before the flight, we may want to grab a bite after we land at 9:00 am. Likewise, if we don't eat at the villa the morning we leave (must catch the 6 am car barge) and have time before getting to the airport for our 9:30 flight we may again need a place for breakfast (if don't eat at the airport).
Suggestions for a good, relatively quick place with a fun/nice atmosphere? That's easy to find en route between STT and Red Hook?

We ate at a place right on the waterfront in CA, I think the name was Gumpy's or Bumpy's. It is on the second floor of a building. I can't remember the parking situation. Decent enough food, we went there for the view.

A view would be a definite bonus! I will look into it. When do you leave??

It's Bumpa's, and in the morning there should be plenty of street parking... Had a great breakfast there once, and the waterfront view is a nice way to start your trip.

So is that close to/easy to get to from the airport?

Yes, it is right on the main waterfront street, on the park end. It is very close to the AHH Ries (I know I spelled that wrong) store that sells Rolexes, there are huge signs on the store.
I remember it openning on the late side. We walked down after 8am thinking it would be open and we where a half hour early. It is the type of place where you order at the counter. There was a selection of eggs, muffins, pastries and maybe waffles.

sounds perfect, thanks. We stopped at a cool place for lunch on our way back last time (and brought abck way too many fun drink glasses)...Duffy's Love Shack right near Red Hook. Wonder if they serve breakfast.

Bumpa's is a must! We go there once everytime we come down! My favorite is the peanutbutter, honey and banana french toast!!! YUM!
There is a Priate shop below the restaurant. Bumpas sign is blue and hanging on their veranda. Enjoy!

You need to be at the airport by 7:30 (8am at the latest) for a 9:30am flight. With you taking the 6am car ferry it will be 7 by the time you get to the airport and then you need to return your car and when you factor in being seated at a restaurant, placing your order, waiting for it to be cooked, eating it, getting the check etc I doubt it would be a relaxing experience. Personally I would eat breakfast at the airport - they make a killer omelet and fantastic pancakes 
Should you decide to go the restaurant way - Tickles in Crown Bay would be my choice - 4 minutes from the airport.

Frenchtown Deli opens at 7 am and has an excellent breakfast - less than 5 min. to the airport

Emerald Beach has a nice view and breakfast and 1 min from the airport. Sounds like a tight time frame though.
