It’s Alive Bakery St. Lucia Review

It’s Alive Bakery in St. Lucia is not a place I recommend for real vegans, and especially not for people looking for vegan food in St. Lucia, whole food plant based food, or ital food. Sadly, in my experience, it is still the best St. Lucia has when it comes to fresh food.

Both of those sentences are true for me. That is what this review is really about.

This is my review of the food, the bakery, the kombucha and the atmosphere, from my own visit to the shop in Rodney Bay. The menu, the prices, Denia Krone, Dario Piazza and the ratings come from the bakery’s website, its Instagram, its menu board and its public reviews, and I link them so you can check me.

What is It’s Alive Bakery in St. Lucia?

It’s Alive Bakery and Fermentory is a plant based sourdough bakery and kombucha brewery in Rodney Bay, St. Lucia.

It’s Alive sits at the Bonne Terre Commercial Centre in Rodney Bay, Gros Islet, at the north end of St. Lucia. On its own website it calls itself the island’s first and only plant based sourdough bakery and fermentory, with no dairy, eggs or meat, and food it describes as cultured and fermented.

Denia Krone and Dario Piazza own It’s Alive. The bakery’s own story calls her Danni, and it calls the couple Danni and Dario Piazza. The Caribbean Lifestyle podcast names the founders Denia Krone and Dario Piazza. The same About page credits the logo to Denia DuBoulay. Denia and Dario spent about eighteen months abroad studying organic farming and food systems in Brazil, Portugal and Spain, returned in 2018, and began baking sourdough and bottling kombucha by hand on family land at Cas En Bas. They registered the company and bought their first oven in 2020, opened at The Dream in 2022, moved into a bigger space at Johnsons Centre in 2024, and in 2026 the kombucha was on shelves through Massy Stores and a long list of other shops.
