The KOOKABURRA I…read morevisited The KOOKABURRA for the first time while my fiancée was having her wedding makeup done, and I was very pleased with the experience. The establishment offers on-street parking directly in front, which is convenient; however, spaces can be limited, so I recommend arriving early to secure a spot. The interior is spacious and well-appointed, and the staff were consistently courteous and professional. I ordered the cinnamon coffee and found it excellent--robust, well-balanced, and flavorful, not diluted as is unfortunately common at some other cafés. The quality and care in preparation were evident. Overall, The KOOKABURRA is a delightful and ethically run café. I plan to return and would recommend it to others seeking a welcoming atmosphere and a reliably good cup of coffee.

Finally got a chance to stop in here for coffee and they have made a new loyal fan!…read more I tried out the black sesame latte with pistachio milk iced and it was delicious. There was already the nutty flavor from the sesame seeds and adding the pistachio milk gave another boost to this that I thoroughly enjoyed. Perfect amount of sweetness. Did not need anything extra added. It does make for a pricey cup of coffee but worth it for specialty drinks like this. There are health benefits to the black sesame too. Very cool, relaxing vibe here that is not pretentious. There are other Japanese coffee items on the menu which I can't wait to come back to try. The barista was super friendly and knows his stuff when asked about items on the menu. I should've asked if the haku-san cold brew was ice brewed (Kyoto style). Will have to ask next time. I also grabbed a pumpkin muffin and chocolate chip pistachio cookie. Both were delicious. This place serves tapas style food as well that we'll hopefully get a chance to sit down and try out one of these days.

It's worth the wait though! Very comfortable inside, with a good amount of seating so sit back and relax while your food is being made. We ordered queen and supreme arepas.

What an upgrade now with all of the healthy options! The attached gym must be thrilled. The owners are lovely people and the atmosphere is light and clean yet cozy and relaxing. The arepa was stellar!! I also appreciate their use of sustainable and biodegradable packaging. They have some cute items for sale and I purchased a little heart spoon. They have a separate entrance so don't let the location deter you. You don't have to be a gym member to enjoy this place but it's certainly cool seeing the climbers in action. I look forward to going back! Support local!

5 Stars for an Australian-American coffee shop that serves good espresso drinks and has a fun vibe…read more I was looking for a quick pick-me-up and was stoked to try their Piccolo (I confirmed with the barista that it's the same as a cortado) and an iced cap for my partner. I wish I had been more hungry so I would've tried the Aussie pies, but I asked for the most popular pastry item and it was the vegan banana nut loaf. The coffees were great and the nut loaf was full of flavor! Had I not known it was lacking eggs or butter, I wouldn't have been able to call it out! Next time I'll grab one of their hot items, but I was pleased with what we got for a quick sip and bite. Though we didn't get a chance to sit inside, this shop has seating and I noticed a bunch of folks chatting with their laptops out. It felt super welcoming and like a great spot to cowork and enjoy community.

But all in all I recommend stopping at this location or any other one of their shops to have a cup of coffee or pastry. Moving onto a full review: The service was absolutely outstanding. I would give that a 10 out of 10. The lady at the cash register was extremely helpful, and the girl who made our coffee, brought us the coffee to where we were standing in the coffee shop. It was definitely a slow morning, but she didn't have to do that. They definitely take the extra step here. They roaster their beans in the house, which is an amazing experience in itself to watch and be apart of! They also make all of their own syrups with the exception of the sugar-free ones. Their merchandise section was very tastefully done, and you can buy their syrups as well as their coffee!

The staff was very kind and made my drink very quickly. I ordered the beach bum, iced with almond milk. It was a salty coconut flavor and it was something I've never tried before in an iced latte. It was delicious. I was a little disappointed that almond milk was 1.50 extra and my drink ended up being $8.75 before tip.

Sweetwater Coffee understood the assignment…read more I ordered the banana bread latte and let me just say... if banana bread and coffee had a personality, this would be it. It was smooth, cozy, and somehow tasted like a hug but also woke me up like I had responsibilities. This was much needed after we landed from cold Chicago, like "hey girl"! Perfect balance of flavor and caffeine, not overly sweet, and actually tasted like real coffee (which is rare these days). If you're in St. Augustine, do yourself a favor and stop here, you'll leave caffeinated, happy, and maybe a little motivated as well!

Not only did I find delicious coffee and beautiful local art - which is what you'd expect and hope to find given the name - but fresh, homemade breakfast/lunch options and some of the most genuine, sweet people who remember their regulars and truly appreciate customer loyalty, which is far too rare in the service industry these days. In 3 years, I've had only great food and coffee here, but it's the warm, thoughtful, human element that has kept me coming back and will keep me coming for years to come. Thank you, Mike and the Sweetwater crew! *A note for my fellow wheeled peops: It's small, depending on the type of chair you have, and may require deft maneuvering but there is an accessible entrance in the back between Chase bank and the Villa Zorayda museum.
