    husband found this place for breakfast, it's nearby to our hotel. The doco inside is very nice, modern and classy. The menu is extensive, be prepared for a lot of reading to do. I ordered their steak taco and husband got their simple egg breakfast. Wow, the presentation of the food on a board is impressive! Make food tastes better! love this place, so we decided to come back again tomorrow to try more item. And the chef Mo came to our table and very friendly! It's definitely a place you will want to repeat!

    If I could give them 10 out of five stars, I would. I want to give a big shout out to the owner, Mo. She was so kind and welcoming, and ensures that her staff are too. I truly enjoyed this spot and I would say that if I'm in town again, I would come back! I highly recommend it because I enjoyed the food, the vibes, the music, and the ambience was perfect. I really like the concept of the brunch board as well. What a beautiful venue in downtown Saint Augustine. Below is my rating of the food we ordered: *Empanadas: 5/5 *French Toast Sticks: 5/5 *Egg, cheese, & sausage croissant: 5/5 *Orange Juice Mimosa: 5/5 I came back for the Sunday Brunch Buffet and I was NOT disappointed. Delicious food w/ excellent service. Mo and the waitstaff were still so kind (insert big heart here).

    This was such a wonderful find! The atmosphere is great, very relaxing. The service was wonderful and the food was amazing!! The cheese grits are absolutely the best grits I've ever had - with 6 of us in our party we were able to share them, as well as the Bruncharcuterie boards we had (honeyed brie, zesty pimento and the cinnamon sugar trio). We enjoyed it so much we went back a second time and we were greeted by the owner and treated like old friends! We tried some different menu items (though we had to get those grits again!!) and everything was fantastic! If you are looking for a nice breakfast place in St A you need to go here; it was fantastic and it will be a regular stop every time I'm in St A.

    A very interesting experience! The food was great but the service was meh. My friend has a gluten allergy so she had to send back her hummus (it had crackers) but it took like 15 min for the hummus to come out. I guess the chickpeas take some time to mash up. Also there were many open tables but the wait was 30 min to get a table. I liked that they offered the menu on little tablets and I liked the inside decor of the restaurant.

    Excellent service and Excellent food. The food is served on a display board that allows sharing of the savory and the sweet.

    This place is SUCH an upgrade from the old location! The restaurant is spacious, full of awesome decor, a huge wine cellar, and beautiful bar! I absolutely love this place!! Their brunch breakfast boards are tasty and reasonably priced for being in the middle of St Augustine. We also got their coffees, which were pretty tasty. Our server was absolutely hilarious and made the experience so much more enjoyable! And their menus are electronic and so cool! I was so impressed with this new place and the food was great! I would definitely recommend for brunch and drinks!!

    Yum

    Ham and cheese croissant and french toast. 10/10

    Visited St. Augustine and found this gem by pure luck. I tried other "recommended" places around the small town, yet this one had the best food. I tried the French toast, and my partner tried the ham and cheese croissant, they were pretty tasty and both came in one long board (charcuterie board style) which made it easy to share. Have brunch and/or breakfast here over the other "popular" spots. Also service was amazing, but it was the same anywhere we went. Lastly, you can take cute pictures because the place has a nice clean ambience aesthetic.

    Came here for brunch with my husband. Lovely restaurant. Food is served on wood boards and messages written on them. Service was very good our server was very funny. I ordered the French toast and sausage, and my husband ordered the steak and eggs. Our orders came combined in one board. Individual boards would have been cuter, I think. My French toast was a letdown. Tasted like toast with cinnamon Sprinkleed on it, and it was kinda cold. It didn't seem to be dipped in custard as I'm accustomed to. Big womp. My husband's steak eggs and potatoes were perfectly cooked and generous portion. I had a nice experience and glad I came. I would recommend this restaurant. And I'll order something different next time I visit.

    Passing through the town and saw this place on tik tok had good brunch. We ordered eggs potatoes, bacon, croissant sandwich, and pancakes. The food was delicious. The food did take a while to make and there were only one other table there so not sure why food took so long. Otherwise such a cute little place to grab a bite if you're hungry!

    Our first time stepping into Ancient City Brunch Bar in the heart of historic Saint Augustine didn't disappoint. From the moment you walk in, its cozy yet modern atmosphere, and had a welcoming vibe. Whether you're craving sweet or savory, there's something to satisfy every palate.The brunch board is a must-try, with delicious quiche, waffles topped with fruit, croissants, brie, crispy bacon, and empanadas.The staff is friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. Whether you're a local or just passing through Saint Augustine, be sure to add this brunch spot to your must-visit list.

    Do they take reservations?

    No, it is walk in. First come first serve. If going on a weekend I'd suggest get there when they first open. It gets packed, and seating inside is very limited.

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.

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.

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!

Here's a breakdown: Eggs benedict: 1/5 The restaurant did not have pork so we had to substitute for regular bacon instead. The whole dish including the potatoes was cold and the hollandaise sauce also was not fresh. Bahn mi: 2/5 As pork was not available, we had to substitute with shrimp which sadly was very bland and did not go well with the sandwich. The bread also was too toasted for my liking. While there wasn't anything outrageously bad about the bahn mi, I've definitely had much better. Shakshuka: 4/5 Great flavor and cooked very nicely. I would definitely get this again!!! Only critique is again the dish was cold. Coffee: 4/5 I really enjoyed the French press coffee including the options for non-dairy milk! However, it was on the weaker side and slightly sour tasting. We will for sure need another cup of caffeine later. Overall, I may come back to try one of the toasts; however, for the price there are definitely much better plentiful options in St. Augustine.
