Ham, Egg, Cheese and Tomato Sandwich  (pic1)
Beatrice T.

Can't stress this enough "Cash Only Business". Now that I've gotten that out of the way....... Sheila's Cafe at Anastasia Kitchen is a very quaint space with some outdoor seating. There is very little ventilation so be mindful of this if sitting inside. The waitress you keep reading about in previous reviews is filled with the southern charm and hospitality that you expect. Super friendly!! Now, the breakfast.....my eggs were cooked to perfection and the home fries (potatoes) also, very good!

The sweeeeeeeeetest, Southern waitresses & cooks! What I truly loved (& will return for): -the quality of food you get for the price (prices are reminiscent of 2005) -decor is very colloquial -"hole-in-the-wall" vibe -specials offered daily -they handmake the strawberry jam ( D E L I C I O U S & simple) *There is extra parking around back. *BRING CASH!!!!!

This may have been our first time dining at Anastasia Kitchen/Sheila's Cafe but it definitely won't be our last! The food was delicious, the service was excellent and the prices were reasonable.

Breakfast burrito with home fries, pico de gallo and sour cream.

Friendly, fast and delicious food. I love a small, cafe with charm and good food. My wife and I stopped in here after reading other reviews online. We were quickly greeted and offered our choice of inside or outside seating. It is small and space limited, but when we arrived late morning there was plenty of room. I had the breakfast burrito with home fries. They were both great, but the best part was the delicious, fresh pico de gallo. It was the perfect addition to the burrito. Be sure to stop in here for breakfast.

Amazing small place. There's a reason she's been in business for 20+ years. A gem of a find. The food was delicious for as simple as a traditional plate it was. The Mrs. ordered the French Toast sandwich and was a hit. The owner, Nicole, and staff were super friendly and made you feel at home. Always checking on us which confirms their care for the customer. A small place with little seating inside and outside but that's what this place is about. We will visit this place over any great chain biz. Menu items are common and not multiple page worth but again, that's what this place is about. Allows them to focus on fresh, scratch cooking. And yes, the home potatoes we're delish!! Considering her chef nailed our two choices, I know she can rock everything else. A must visit.

Chocolate chip pancakes

Every trip I take to St. Augustine, I have to visit Sheila's. It's non-negotiable. I have not had a bad meal here yet - pancakes and quiche (they have different flavors depending on what they make that day) are my usual order, but the regular breakfasts and the burrito are also good. It's a small place, and you may have to wait outside for a table, but you won't be disappointed.

Stopped here on our way out of St. Augustine, after stopping at another diner that was too full for us. Were we blown away! Breakfast was actually one of the bests I've ever had, I wish we weren't 4 hours away. I got Biscuits & Gravy, bf got their special Breakfast Skillet. The home fries are too die for . Please give this spot a try on your way to St Augustine, super inexpensive, delicious food with great service! One downside is please note it is cash only, but trust it is worth it. Everything was 10/10!!!!!!

Pork loin eggs Benedict
John B.

Anastasia Kitchen was an inexpensive, quality breakfast in a prime spot on Anastasia Island. My fiance and I were headed to the St. Augustine Lighthouse Thursday morning and wanted a quick breakfast. Anastasia Kitchen had good reviews and seemed as good as any. We arrived to an empty parking lot and a completely empty restaurant. No diners this week day morning. Even though majority of places are allowing dine-in now, Anastasia Kitchen was only doing outdoor seating. We sat at one of the picnic tables and the Florida humidity got us before our drinks even arrived. Our waitress maintained distance and it was the weirdest dining experience we had our entire trip in St. Augustine but she was nice and personable. Our food was out quick and was really good. I ordered the Pork loin eggs benedict and my fiance ordered a traditional eggs, bacon and toast breakfast. The benedict was smothered in a tasty, zingy Hollandaise sauce with a thin slice of pork resting under the poached eggs that were slightly runny as they should be. The side of home fries were not fried but more of potato chunks that had a good flavor to them as well. My fiance's traditional breakfast was good she said and unlike other places that charge $3 extra for bacon, her breakfast was $7 with it included. The food was tasty and filling and the service was good. I'm sure they had their own reasons as to why they only offered outside seating but sweating uncomfortably for breakfast was the main thing I remember from this visit. Also, they are cash only, so make sure you have that handy.

I'll start by saying this is probably the best breakfast burrito I've ever had…read more The parking lot is tinyyyy. The restaurant is tinyyyyy. St. Augustine is a busy place. Therefore, this gets a long wait for breakfast/brunch. It's hard to get a parking spot but there's free parking across the street. They have a big waiting area next to the restaurant which is definitely needed as we ended up waiting like 45 minutes around 9:30 am on a Saturday. The food was definitely worth the wait though. I got the burrito smothered with sauce and cheese and the flavor was fantastic. Flavorful but not super spicy or anything. It's also HUGE. Highly recommend. Service is a little questionable, if it was quicker they could probably help with their long wait. It was hard to flag down our girl when we needed something & it took ages to get to check.

Hard to recommend this one. The food is basic breakfast at above-average prices, and nothing on the…read moreplate justifies the markup -- the biscuits were dry enough that we needed to ask for gravy mid-meal, and even that simple request got deprioritized while our server chatted with other customers. The service showed a real lack of knowledge and attentiveness. When I ordered whole milk for my coffee, the response was essentially "is half and half okay?" -- no, it is absolutely not okay. These are completely different in taste and calories, and it's not a reasonable substitute to casually suggest. What made it worse: oat milk, almond milk, and whole milk were all visibly sitting in the fridge right there from where I was seated at the bar. Zero effort to offer what was clearly available. The atmosphere didn't help either. The space feels like someone started building a café concept and never finished thinking it through. It's uninviting, disorganized, and oddly off -- not warm, not designed with the customer in mind. Nothing about the food, the presentation, or the space gives you a reason to choose this place over anywhere else. Not particularly tasty, not nicely decorated, not a vibe. Not sure what keeps people coming back, honestly.

I ADORE Sunday. I've…read moreonly been a couple of times, but it's always on my list for recommendations when I have friends going to STA. It's a pretty spot with both indoor and outdoor seating. I love sitting by the window so you can watch outside and enjoy the lovely views. The food is just simple and fantastic -- everything is fresh, there's some fun and unique twists, and it's just so dang good. Everything I've ordered (and all of friends' dishes that I've tried) is great. Service is on point and everyone is super friendly and kind. They have coffee and alcoholic treats depending on what you're looking for. The hibiscus mimosa was a cool surprise and I really enjoyed the flavor - not sweet, but floral.

The parking nearby is 2 hour on side streets, but if you need a parking garage there's one not too far. I highly recommend ordering a French press of coffee! It's very delicious! You will get 3 cups of high quality coffee to share at the table or have all to yourself. As far as dining al fresco, the front courtyard is beautiful! However, on our trip it was too cold to dine outside. We were seated at a large table inside that accommodated our large group. They had several tables inside, but I could see on a busy Sunday or Saturday morning this place would get waitlisted quickly. Everyone loved their meals. No complaints. I ordered the lobster roll. It was very good, but I would try something different on a return visit. The salads coming out looked amazing! Everyone at my table raved about their meals: Shukshuka, BALT, Benedicts, cinnamon rolls. Every single thing was enjoyed!

My significant other found this little gem on the way to see the capybara's next door after reading…read moreall the crazy good reviews for Buena Onda Café. Seeing a 4.9 rating honestly made me pretty skeptical becuase usually places that hyped never live up to it. But wow... this one actually did. I'm pretty sure my 5 stars are gonna help push this place to a full 5.0 The design itself is cute but not exactly perfection, and the checkout line process could definetly be smoother during busy times. BUT the food... thats where this place absolutley shines. The Arepas Special with the corn pancakes filled with eggs, avocado and tomatoes was an absolute BEAST. Fresh, flavorful and super satisfying. Then the Avocado Toast with the sweet pumkin pieces just blew the rest of our taste buds out the window. Such a weird combo on paper but somehow worked sooo good. And finishing it all with a Cafe con Leche and a blueberry scone just put the final dot on this breakfast experiance. It honestly didnt feel like "just breakfast" it felt like an experiance you remember later. Big shoutout to Huhny for a human she is! She absolutley knocked it outta the ballpark with recommendations, brought everything fast to the table, and you could really feel the passion and positive energy she delivered Thank you team, we'll 100% be back next time we visit your cool town St. Augustine.

The staff were super helpful since it was our first time, explaining the menu, options and provided recommendations. I ordered a vanilla latte iced w/ almond milk and the mushroom tostadas (which was a special) The vanilla latte was very good, creamy/ smooth vanilla taste. The mushroom tostadas were probably the best tostadas i've ever had. They were so flavorful and fresh I ate my whole plate. Definitely a must try if you're from or in the area.
