Gate-side sugar fix in North Terminal without killing your budget
Sweet Treats sits post-security in Piarco’s North Terminal and runs roughly 05:00 to 21:00, so it catches the early Caribbean Airlines departures and most evening flights. It’s a small local-style bakery counter, not a full café, and everything skews grab-and-go. Price tier is firmly $, which matters in an airport where sit-down spots can feel steep for a quick bite.
This is the place for baked goods and sweets rather than hot meals. The headline item is the coconut macaroons, which lean more on shredded coconut than dough and usually come in small packs you can throw into a backpack. Expect basic pastries, cookies, and maybe a few local-style buns rather than elaborate cakes. It works best as a sugar stop between security and a gate in the mid-teens or 20s.
With no big online trail or detailed reviews, you’re treating Sweet Treats as a straightforward bakery kiosk, not a destination. Figure on spending TT$15–TT$25 per item and being back at your gate in under five minutes if you’re already airside. If you want something more substantial than pastries, plan to hit another outlet in North Terminal before or after; this counter lives in the “snack and coffee” lane.
Watch out for late-evening slim pickings near closing time; shelves at airports like POS often thin out after 19:30, especially for fresher pastries. If macaroons are on your list to take home, buy them on your first pass rather than waiting until right before a 21:00 departure. Final tip: grab a sealed pack of coconut macaroons and one extra snack here, then pair it with a drink from a nearby kiosk to avoid overpaying for sweets on the plane.
