    Absolutely top notch. First, let me focus on the staff... super duper kind and helpful. My wife left her card at the cafe and I was able to walk in after they had closed and was greeted with friendly smiles versus a quick "we're closed", which is what I was expecting. Instead they welcomed me in and helped me to locate my wife's card. Aside from the staff... we did the Japanese-style little fish shaped pancakes from the cafe and they were delicious. All of us loved it. And of course, the aquariums of fish, turtles, and coral were beautifully maintained and fun to explore. The amphibians and reptiles were diverse and active. The coral was vast and pretty to look at. We're thankful they allow you to view it all for free, great for a family of five. Thank you, Floating Sea Aquatics!

    This is a great establishment. Great place for kids to check out various fishes, reptiles, and amphibians. It has a nice kid playing area, cafe, and comfortable seating areas to relax.

    Best source for your aquatic needs, including the service of info. Have not tried anything from the cafè... 'try the fish it's fantastic!' Ambiance can't be beat, natural beauty in every nook and cranny! Enjoy it! ​I frequently return for a myriad of reasons! oh yeah, fresh, marine, reptile... choices abound. If yr disappointed, get out of the hobby cause you don't get it & probably never will.

    Floating Sea Aquatics is a new spot for the family and they absolutely loved it! This place is like a museum and cafe, all-in-one. I truly believe the kids could spend hours at this place from the interactive sensory walls, the reptiles, fish and more...there is so much to do! They also have games, books and a cafe. The food was pretty good and had a solid Kid's menu for our kiddos. We will have to try more of the menu next time but it seemed like the menu had limited options. Service was great and all the staff were super friendly. We even got to touch a snake haha!

    Helpful staff, extensive aquatic variety, rescue/recovery/rehab, cafe, and store! I thought it was just a fish pet store but it's so much more. The fish and reptiles in the front half of the building are rescues and not for sale but don't fret, the back half has a large variety of critters waiting for a great home. I watched some of the staff and I can tell all of the little ones are well taken care of. On the right side they have a cafe that serves things like smoothies and small plates. There is a good amount of seating as well. In the back, they have knowledgeable staff that can help guide you in the right direction. The store includes a nice selection of items you may need to make your aquarium spectacular. It will take you some time to see everything. They definitely have more than just your average gold fish!

    I cannot recommend this aquatic center highly enough! I came in knowing nothing about fish--my poor little guy was basically swimming in a swamp--and the owner treated me with the patience of a saint. He explained everything so clearly, never made me feel dumb, and wasn't the least bit pushy. In fact, he told me what I didn't need to buy, which is rare these days. The store itself is incredible--family-owned, with his wife and kids there (so sweet!) and literally hundreds of tanks. It's the coolest pet/aquatic store I've ever seen. You can just tell how much love and passion he has for what he does. If you're new to fishkeeping, or even experienced, this is the place you want to go. The owner is truly an angel, and I left not only with a healthier setup for my fish but also feeling so grateful I found such an honest and kind business.

    I have wanted to visit this café and store for at least two years. My family said they'd take me for Mother's Day! I was not disappointed! The staff is very friendly and the food was made from scratch, but very timely served. I had one of the create your own "bowls" and it was delicious. (They double-checked everything for onion stuff and so I had no allergy issues.) The atmosphere is great fun--aquariums surround the dining area and a "pond" occupies part of the central room's floor. We were excited to see all the various species of fish and reptiles. There are numerous gifts--for all interests--and the business is ecologically supportive and community-minded. There's something of a helter-skelter approach to the decor but that's part of the charm--you find neat items everywhere. It's the perfect spot for a child's birthday party or an educational excursion. Totally family-friendly. I had a wonderful time! (Be aware that some of the drinks in the cooler contain "exotic" ingredients which might produce a harmless buzz. I had coconut water, however, so my enthusiasm is naturally produced.)

    Doors open and the scen is very aquatic looking if this is a word. There is so much to see. ohhh the little fishes. In the word of Dorothy from Wizard of oz, " Turtles, snakes and more oh my." What an amazing sight that will keep adults entertained while waiting for a quick bite. It is a store slash restaurant. The manager at the restaurant was upbeat and informative. However, there were no french fries to be had. Neither was there a chicken quesidilla on the menu. There was other things missing from the menu. What a bummer! This is another engaging spot for kids and adults alike. There is a homey and huge fish and more superstore. At the restaurant, the music could have been turned down a notch. This place is for the naturalist at heart. Kudos to Floating Sea Aquatics. There is definitely a good impression when entering and leaving.

    We were visiting from Hawaii and had seen it on TikTok so we went to check it out, I loved the taiyaki they had at the cafe, highly recommend. We got cookie butter and Nutella and brown sugar with cinnamon. Delicious. The place is FREE to enter and right away it was so cool even for us 20-30+ yr old adults! I inquired about my son holding the reptiles. They usually do them on sundays but we were lucky and the owner (who is an angel) came around the store with a little snake and saw how eager we were to experience them so she let us! Patient, kind, and educational and I loved the rescue stories. She even made sure we all got a turn and photo opt! I was so thankful. Also she has a huge heart. She really cares about animals, children that are impaired and even homeless. I literally saw her give a sandwich and a bag of ice to a man and he was truly thankful for her. We stopped by the gift shop to support and bought my son a hand crochet snake and another stuffed animal. This is definitely a business that has moved me and touched my heart.

    Floating Sea Aquatics now occupies the same unit/building as the former Tuesday Morning. It would have been cool if the fam and I went here on a Tuesday Morning.....not on a Sunday Afternoon. Pfft !!! Alright, carrying on. Walking inside Floating Sea Aquatics, wow...this place is big for an aquamarine shop. They also many reptiles and other types and species. And from the way it looks, they protect and save marine life etc. Pretty cool. And oh, they have a Cafe as well.... it's fusion style cuisine, with some old recipes rejuvinated into a better one. We enjoyed what we ordered... * Salmon with Bismati & Veggies * Boomtown Teriyaki Chicken * Creamy Chicken and Potato * Lil Mama's Country Fried Pork Chops: This was on "Today's Special" board and not on menu. Man oh man, one of the finest tasting fried pork chops I have ever had. Cooked just right, not dry. And there was something about the sauce it came in that made you want to drink or slop it up. A must order. Everything tasted like it was made from scratch and all natural ingredients. A head of warning though, be prepared to wait awhile for your food. As mentioned, it is made from scratch, so everything took some time before getting our food. But the wait is so worth it. I plan on coming back. I have my Yelp eye on their Egyptian Cinnamon Honey Chicken. Sounds interestingly delicious already.

    This place is a real treat. If you are into retiles, fish, and those sort of things. They have quite a bit of rescues plus plenty of things living and not for sale. I will say that most of the stuff is overpriced. Compared to the big box stores locally and online retailers by far. Saw some interesting sea creatures I've never seen before. It's free to browse and the staff members were super cool and informative. Plenty of seating and table games as well. The kids did get bored after being there for about 30 minutes so we checked out the deli. My son had my wife, but really wish I would have taken photos of the menu. The kids menu had pizza, but they only had cheese. Believe it was $7.99 which included a side and a drink. We ordered the Taiyaki instead. One was filled with Nutella. The other was filled with chocolate chips. I would personally rate it a 2/5. My wife and I ordered a refresher drink. Don't remember what it was called but I got the first one on the list. My wife got something with blueberries. I would rate the drinks a 2/5 as well. Personally. I would definitely come back and check out the animals. It seems like there is a good thing going on here, but I feel like deli could do better and maybe price some things on the floor a bit better. Just saying.

A huge shoutout to our tour guide, Daven, who was incredibly patient with our energetic group and made the experience even better.

Upon arrival, the check-in process was seamless, and the staff was incredibly welcoming. While waiting for our session, we spent time in a designated area with several charming animals, including rabbits, miniature goats, and ferrets. Once our time slot began, we were guided to the back in two small groups. We spent the first 30 minutes learning about and interacting with the capybaras, followed by a transition to a second room to meet a lemur and a wallaby. Overall, this was an amazing experience. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and kept the schedule running smoothly. This is a must-do activity in St. Augustine, and we look forward to visiting again soon.

We also had a "Piggy Pear", of similar construction, but instead substitutes tender ham, date & pear preserves. It was delicious, very tasty, warm and so plentiful that we each took half of ours home. The regular price is a very reasonable $11. Most people will not walk away hungry after one of these. They have a whole selection of sandwiches, croissant and waffle-based concoctions, drinks, including coffees. It appears that their biggest feature is picnic baskets, consisting of a wide array of goodies ranging from $18-59 (for four people). They also do catering, so we left with a menu and business card. The owners have caterers for many years and jokingly (?) said they had to open this place to keep their daughter in Boston College. One thing we have noticed living and traveling to many places is that most areas have a fairly small percentage of good and reasonably priced restaurants. This one made it to our list.

Most of us ended up trying their seasonal matcha drink which was a linzer matcha that came with black cherry and a pistachio cold foam. It has a specific taste but I liked it a lot! It's not a mix of flavors I'd normally think of but I ended up finishing my drink which I don't always do, even with matcha drinks. The croissants & bread were fresh and each dish was beautifully plated. I love a dish that both looks good and tastes good and it delivered both. The outdoor patio is covered and a great spot to enjoy your meal if the weather is beautiful and breezy which is was the day we dined here. The inside is also such a cute vibe. Such a great spot and will definitely be back if I'm in the area!
