A-M-A-Z-I-N-G !!!! The service was so family oriented, the owner walked to the tables and struck up a conversation. It was so refreshing!! Keep it coming, it's what the world needs. Food was yummy, came out quick. Prices stellar Cash only (my kind of place) I hate using debit cards....inside felt like a home. I had an order of 2 Pancakes, side of homefries, 1 coffee, 1 chocolate milk $19.44 total. Can't beat it. We'll be back!

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 has to be the sweetest spot for a pure Floridian charm! Very quaint, perfect for the loving couple or taking a first date! The food is super breakfastee ( my word ) lol limited seating inside and out.

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.

Entrance Welcome
Harvey R.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

This is an amazing find - 2 time shop fronts in a strip mall on the island; one is the kitchen, the other is the dining room that can seat maybe 20 Great food, freshly cooked, reasonable prices - try it!

Fresh local tomatoes were amazing.

The food was delicious, she had the salmon plate and I had the pork shank. The portions are generous and meal was very tasty. The side salad was a little light but everything else was great. We enjoyed a glass of Malbec with dinner. The patio was very comfortable on a warm April evening.

I ordered the short braised ribs with mashed potatoes and asparagus. My entrée was just okay. The ribs were on the dry side. However, everyone else in my family really enjoyed their meals. My husband loved his pork chop, and the rest of my family raved about their crab bisque and entrées. Service did slow down once our food arrived. My husband wanted to order additional beverages, but it took quite a while for our server to return. The ambiance, though, was lovely. The patio, strung with lights, added a festive, holiday charm to the evening.

We walked in around 12 o'clock on a Wednesday afternoon and was able to sit at the bar with no challenges. Bar area is open seeing if you want a table you do have to check in. I started with a handmade Italian soda the ginger one and I love this because the ginger is very pronounced. It's very crisp and light. I also got an order of their soup of the season, which was a red curry. It was absolutely delicious. Had great flavor little spice at the end of it as well. For lunch, we split the fried chicken that comes with collard greens and whole cakes. The collard greens are by far one of the best that we have ever had. They use slab bacon and they're absolutely delicious. We've literally talked about them for years and they were just as good as we remembered. Fried chicken was nice and moist and the hocakes cakes were very sweet. For drinks, I tried one of the seasonal ones which was the witches of Eastwick. The gin based drink definitely was sweet, but exactly what I was looking for. My husband got an old-fashioned because they had black walnut bitters when he was really excited about.

Long waits are common for this spot. The interior is the old Ice Plant so it has great character. Not super large so limited dining spots within. Very high ceilings and though there were plenty of diners, it was overly loud. Great spot to enjoy the company you are with! Our server was top notch, knowledgeable, helpful, friendly but not trying to monopolize our table talk. We started with Cocktails which were all great. I went classic Old Fashioned, presentation AND taste were on point. We split the Crab Beignets order of 4. The breading on them was light and fluffy, the Crab tasty and they were cooked appropriately, no burns or underdone spots. For our main course, we elected to split 2 of the specials of the day so they may not be there when you go, but judging by the quality of the specials, any dish would be great. We had the Caesar Salad (which is like calling the Queen Mary2 a "boat"!). It is next level, 7 minute eggs, homemade croutons, Anchovie forward, all good! We also split an order of Shrimp Cake Sliders. These were huge, and the slaw that accompanied was the perfect match to the shrimp without overwhelming them. For dessert we settled on the Pineapple cake which also had coconut and all kinds of wonderful flavors going on! A really outstanding meal from beginning to end!

Shakshuka was so fresh and good with the homemade sourdough. Lobster Benedict with ikura was 20/10, the hollandaise sauce tasted so fresh idk if I could eat it anywhere else now. Grits were off the chart, and we had a few picky eaters who said they were the best they have ever had! Bacon was thick cut on the breakfast sandwich, which they loved. Sunday they had a biscuits and gravy with local sausage, that was hands down the best I have ever had. They have a great wine selection and other things to purchase like local art. We ended up buying two bottles of their orange wine, which was delicious! Everyone working was so kind and cool. Wasn't too loud inside and the vibes fit perfect for the location. If I lived closer this is def a breakfast and coffee spot I would frequent!

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.

There was a customer with a dog, which someone came over and pet. They stopped petting it and it barked LOUDLY, scaring me. I hurriedly finished my food (which I had found a hair in the potatoes as I was finishing up) because at this point it's obviously not a service dog and was still allowed in a restaurant. As I was leaving it barked again, very loudly. This coupled with some of the conversations I heard while eating has sealed the decision to not return. Still on the hunt for a peaceful place where I can enjoy a meal.

For our visit this time they said about a 30 minute wait which was actually 20 minutes. The vibe of the place is very cool with the old jukebox and a bar as well as tables both inside and outside. We were seated outside this visit which was fine as it was shady. I had the corned beef has with hash browns and 2 sunny side eggs. The corned beef is full of shredded corned beef with just a small amount of potatoes. The hash browns with onions were nice and crispy as I asked and the eggs were cooked nicely with the right amount of run when broken. My wife has the Classic Breakfast which is somewhat similar to what I had but with no meat. Hers was done nicely too. Thanks for a nice visit and see you the next time we're back to St. Augustine Beach!
