I have wanted to try this restaurant out ever since I found out that they were a Polish and Greek restaurant. I finally had the opportunity today while in Saint Augustine and it was definitely worth the time and effort. Started out with a Greek sampler plate, which everything had the flavors that just reminded you of so many memories of eating the different types of food of different cultures. It'd have been a long time since I've had that type of quality. The young lady who served us was very efficient and very congenial and polite. and made sure that we needed nothing other than the food we were served. The restaurants, decor, and ambience reminded me of my childhood. growing up in an ethnic neighborhood that was a melting pot for Europeans, primarily Polish Italians, Lithuanians, and a melting pot of others. Great comfort food that little soup was extremely hearty and thick again, with memory flavors that I had not experienced since I was young. I definitely overturn and try some more other seasonal menu. Look forward to it.
Gaufre's & Goods is a place we couldn't believe he had never been to let alone heard of so when we were visiting and walked by we had to try it out and glad we did. Gaufre's & Goods is tucked away down a back street so if you're not looking for it you most likely will miss it. We came in for a late lunch but were not looking for something super heavy so this was perfect. I started off with a Hevelius Kaper Beer which I really enjoyed. They also had a lot of other Greek and Polish beers that I had never heard of so you gotta try one. For my entree I originally was going to go with the Gyro but then I saw that they have Goulash which I very much enjoy but rarely can find it. Our food came out pretty quickly and I was give a large bowl of Goulash as well as some fresh bread. Ashley of course went with a Mix of Pierogies and added bacon & onions to it. My Goulash was very flavor and dipping the bread in the broth was great. I will say it was thinner then other Goulash's I have had. This was more of a broth base where I enjoy a bit of a thicker stew type. Still something I would recommend getting especially with the limited option we have in the area and this will hit the spot. Ashley also did get a order of Blackberry Pierogies that I never got to try since she ran off with it after we got back to where we were staying. This is for sure a great family restaurant you have to check out.
Tucked away in an alley way in the heart of downtown, Gaufre's offers a unique and unexpected pairing of authentic Greek and Polish cuisine. The cozy interior set the tone, and our servers were cheerful and welcoming. We started with ice cold Polish beer while deciding on our meal. The beer was served in perfectly chilled glass with a thin layer of ice which was a great touch. We shared a Greek salad to start. It was incredibly fresh and flavorful, generously loaded with insane amount of feta (no complaints here). For the main, I got the Kielbasa special which came with 4 pierogies (you can mix and match the fillings), Kielbasa sausage and sauerkraut. The potato&cheese pierogies were my favorite, subtle in flavor, perfectly textured and tasted like true homemade comfort food. The sauerkraut was also hands down some of the best I've ever had. Sadly I have no room to try desserts. This was the best meal of my entire trip, and I'll absolutely be back to try more dishes if I'm in town.
Had lunch at this place which has authentic Polish & Greek food. Food was delish. Service was good. Ambiance could be better with some upgrades inside, however, all the time we were there, they played lovely music from these two countries. If you are in the area, try this place out, and consider sharing your experiences. Happy meals!
We found this little gem on line and thought we would try something different. We were greeted as soon as we arrived and told to sit anyplace we like. It's a small dinning area. And wasn't too busy on a Friday evening. We were promptly given menus and served water and an ice tea. We ordered a Gyro and a Kielbasa Special. The Kielbasa Special was served with four different types of Pierogis covered in onions and fresh sauerkraut as well as a large Kielbasa. My meal was also served with a basket of fresh bread and butter. I have never had this type of food and found it delicious! The Gyro meat was a bit different than what we were expecting. The meat had a red tint to it. The portions were quit large. They had a large selection of sweet treat that we didn't indulge in. The service and decor were very nice. I would highly recommend this restaurant especially if you haven't had Polish cuisine.
While wondering around downtown St Augustine before an event we stumbled upon this charming spot and I was craving pierogis so we decided to check it out. Now I am the type of person that is basically craving pierogis 24/7 but not all pierogis are crave worthy. I am very pleased to say these were absolutely pierogis worth craving! Also the people that work there made everyone that walked in feel like family which also makes me crave going back! I got the assortment of pierogis and each one was delicious! My favorite was the one with mushrooms but really I don't think you could go wrong with any of the options. I also ordered the dessert pierogis to go and shared them with a group of people we all agreed they were a perfect treat! If you are looking for a place to grab a bite I would highly suggest checking this place out.
You first walk into the charming place from an alleyway off one of my favorite streets in downtown St. Augustine.. Aviles Street. Once inside you immediately realize how special this gem is.. and you have not even had the food yet! We had a variety of pan fried pierogis, topped with onions (you can add bacon too!) and sour cream. The Horiatiki salad was so good with tons of feta and ripe tomatoes. The Greek salad was also very traditional and tasty. Lentil soup was special.. but the Yemista was so full of flavor we may have to go back just for it again. Worse part was the bread.. and that was easy enough to avoid lol. A definite must when you visit the ancient city for sure!
This was such an awesome little find tucked away in an alleyway, the only reason we knew about it was because our trolley driver mentioned it was his favorite restaurant in st augustine. It was a chillier day so pierogis sounded amazing! We started with the Greek sampler platter that had tzatziki, eggplant salad, and hummus as well as olives and tomatoes. It was served with warm pita and other types of bread SO GOOD. We also had the grape leaves which were extremely tasty with feta, tomato and onion. I had their borsch (theirs was warm) with beet cubes and mushroom dumplings OUTSTANDING. For mains, i had the blueberry pierogis which were so unique i had to try. The only problem is they are pretty sweet they come with sour cream but also whipped cream and brown sugar. Still delicious but i wished i chose a cheese and potato. My friend had a stew that came with 4 savory pierogis and she really enjoyed it. you can tell this place is authentic! Waiter was quick and helpful. One thing is the indoor seating is freezing so bring a coat or sit outside like we did.
Stopped in for lunch on Saturday when restaurant opened. This place has a unique menu of Greek and Polish food. This is a small cafe with about 8 tables. No outside tables. The food and service were excellent. We were a party of four. We ordered spinach pie, gyro, pierogis, Greek sampler platter, and baklava. The portions are large. Food seemed all home made. Hours are 11-6 pm, closed on Tuesday. No parking as it is in the historic district. Best to walk or Uber.
The food is always really tasty. We've been here several times and it never disappoints. I ordered the stuffed cabbage platter that comes with pierogies. I ordered the plum sweet pierogies and they were the most delicious tasting pierogies I've ever had. My husband got just pierogies and was not disappointed. My youngest son ordered the kielbasa platter and blueberry pierogies. He said the sauerkraut was the best he's had! My oldest son had the hunters stew and loved it too! Service was excellent and helpful. The restaurant was packed for a Saturday afternoon but we could talk and not have to yell. Definitely recommend if you love Greek food or Polish. One of our places to eat.
Meh. Wanted authentic kielbasa, what we got was like Hillshire Farm. Mustard was really good. Made the sausage tolerable. Pierogis were good, but nothing special. Expensive for what you get. $75 for three people. Gyro wasn't lamb, pretty sure it was grisly pork. While it's a nice alternative to have for variety over fast food, it's not going to satisfy anyone looking for real Greek or Polish fare.
One of our favorite spots in St. Augustine. Very quaint- only a handful of tables . The vibe is very casual, homecooked hearty meal. The food is amazing and the servings are hefty. The server was super friendly and knowledgeable. We had the kielbasa lunch special with meat peirogis and Bigo, and then potato and cheese pierogis. Yum!
I've spent a lot of time in St. Augustine, yet yesterday was my first experience at this hidden gem. The food was fresh and delicious. A little more pricey than I expected, but I feel it was well worth the amount and the flavor of the food. Everyone there was friendly and willing to give suggestions on the menu. The restaurant is small, but it conveys a homey, relaxed environment. I highly suggest you check them out on your next trip!
If you are a fan of the bold, beautiful flavors from the lovely Greek & Polish cultures, this is a must-visit spot! After you traverse the alleyways of historic St Augustine, you are transported to your yiayia's house and greeted warmly by the staff. The Feta Saganaki appetizer is one of the coolest dishes that I have ever had. The Polish kielbasa plate is out of this world- the sausage has that perfect crunch and char, the mountain of sauerkraut is delicious, and the platter comes with your choice of 4 pierogis- our server recommended that we try one of each flavor. Potato was the favorite. The gyro is epic & huge, so we ended up nibbling on one half and taking the other half to-go. The wine selection is eclectic and intriguing. The pastry case will tempt you with the Basque burnt cheesecake, and it will win. You should let it win. We are so glad that we found this hidden gem, and this will be a return spot for our future trips! read more

This was our first time visiting Gaufres and Goods in St. Augustine, Florida, and it is an absolute hidden gem! Tucked just off the main street, this small, locally owned restaurant offers incredible food and a charming atmosphere. I ordered the Kielbasa with Pierogies and the Bogus Stew, and everything was completely on point. The pierogies were served with traditional bacon, onions, and house-made sauerkraut that was braised with fantastic seasoning. The menu at this restaurant is a combination of Polish staples and your standard Greek foods. It's a very interesting menu. We didn't have room for dessert, but they are all homemade and looked delicious--we will definitely save room for them next tim read more
My husband and I have been wanting to try this place since we walked by and saw the menu months ago. We finally got there tonight and were happy to see almost every table was full (love that for local small businesses). I had the hummus and it was very good, but unfortunately the bread and pita it came with had many pieces that were hard. I also had the plain pirogies which came with a side of sour cream and they were good, not amazing but good, and had a generous amount of potatoes and cheese in them. My husband had the Spicy Coconut Soup to start and said it was good (I don't like spicy so didn't try it) and he also had the Kielbasa Special with a side of the Bigos Hunter Stew. He really enjoyed everything. We will go back to try some of the other dishes, but I just wish the the bread and pita for my hummus was fresh and that's why I only gave it 4 stars. read more

Authentic, homemade polish and Greek dishes! I am so happy I stumbled across this gem.. It felt like I was sitting in my grandparents kitchen. The spicy coconut soup was savory and kept us guessing on the ingredients. The pierogis were freshly homemade and flavorful and the "small" Greek salad was huge with large portion of gyro meat. Highly recommend, I am visiting St. Augustine for a short time and I am even tempted to return! read more
Outstanding Polish and Greek fare in old town - bring a basket so you can take home some of the goods and your leftovers! We were in twice, snd got to sample several dishes, each of which was mouthwateringly delicious. Chug down some Czech ale with your meal or choose from one of the many unique beer offerings. Staff was great, we had a blast with Radic. The space is small but comfy with tons of memorabilia as well as a few outdoor tables. No reservations so get there early, go for lunch, or bring your patience! read more
What a small place this is. But great food. Was here about a month ago on a mother and daughter trip. Found it by accident and we were hungry! It's on a tiny street, and so cute. We ordered a appetizer with different food items like stuffed cabbage, a olive spread that I really enjoyed. I can't remember the other items but we both enjoyed everything on the plate. We also had champagne to celebrate mother and daughter! Hit this place up! It's a Portuguese and Poland food! Very friendly too! Definitely have to bring my husband here. They have Kabasa and he loves Kabasa. Look for Radi she was so out going, very friendly, plansant and I could have chatted with all day. Make sure you give her a visit! read more

What a hidden gem! We only found it thanks to typing in "lunch near me" on yelp while in the Ancient City today!!! Gaufres is like waffle in French, Radi our beautiful server is from Bulgaria, and on the menu you have favorites of people who may be Polish or maybe even Greek? We should have asked more questions, bc there are pages of Polish, Hungarian & Greek foods, plus a wonderful regional wine and liqueur list as well as some lovely hand - painted bottles of cordials and liqueurs on display & for sale. They do even serve different varieties of waffles! not to mention Greek favorites such as gyros and spanakopita. And if we could have nibbled on one more item after the shared lunch that was more than we could eat, the desserts in the case all looked heavenly, from baklava w/wo chocolate, baklava cheesecake, & cookies to Polish cheesecake and more! We ordered glasses of crisp light white wine from Serbia/Herzegovina regions. Then we decided to share a bowl (cup would have sufficed!) of the Hunters Stew, and a dish called Golumpki Combo: 4 different homemade pierogies stuffed with meat, potato, sauerkraut, & spinach. All were delicious and I know my husband will love his favorite sauerkraut stuffed. Radi told us that 99% of everything is prepared and made in house; the bread is from a local bakery. What a treat for something unique and different. They've been open since 2005 and diners seemed to be repeat guests. So glad we found you!!! We will be back. We can't wait! Food, service, ambience. Even the old wallpaper and chipped paint just add to the rustic look with the vintage Polish plates etc. in cabinets and in the walls. like stepping into Old World Europe. read more

Wowzers....we had an amazing lunch at this Greek and Polish location. We started with some Rose' and The Greek Sampler...Amazeballs! We tried pierogis, greek salad and gyro. We were stuffed after the appetizer sampler, so we sampled our lunch items. The meat pierogis were a new item for me and they did not disappoint. Everything was so fresh and tasty. The impeccable service was the best part, Thank You Gaufre's! read more
Tucked away in one of St. Augustine's many narrow streets & alleyways, this ethnic gem is definitely worth a try! We chose polish foods today: Polish barley soup, potato & cheese pierogi and also an order of the blueberry pierogi. What is so awesome about their pierogi is that you can choose your flavor (potato & cheese, mushroom, sauerkraut, meat, etc), toppings such as onions and/or bacon) and also choose the way it prepared (boiled, sautéed). Everything was delicious! Also of note are their many types of imported beers, most from Germany & Greece. They also had a case of ethnic desserts to choose from. So if you're in the mood for a gyro and your date is in the mood for stuffed cabbage & kielbasa, this is definitely the place for you! read more
Go, Go, Go here!! Such a quaint place with a fusion of Polish and Greek foods to tantalize the most discerning palates. We had difficulty deciding what to order so we had to order a little of everything...some Polish, some Greek. The inside is humble and happy with fun decor on the walls. A display of beer and wine adds to the places charm. For lunch we ordered a bowl of Hungarian goulash, kielbasa on a baguette, spanakopita, spicy coconut chicken soup and pierogis of several flavors. Holy smokes, we wiped our plates clean. It was absolutely delicious. To top off our scrumptious lunch we ordered a shredded baklava. We had such a delightful lunch! We highly recommend this unique place! read more

10 OUT OF 10!!! (Screamed at the top of my lungs while dancing a little jig!) my wife said hands down her favorite meal while in St Augustine! And that includes some very pricey meals... Our party of four tried to eat here on Tuesday, but they were closed due to an issue in the kitchen. We called again today to make sure they were open and oh my, it was goooot! We have been here for several days and feel robbed we are just now getting to experience their food when we leave the day after tomorrow :( As soon as you sit down order the tzatziki and pita, do it immediately. Have you done it yet, go order then come back to this review! Ok! Now, order the pierogis! Personally, I think the potato and cheese filling with sautéd with onions and bacon were the best. But my party tried several variations and they were all freakin good! My wife had a waffle and it was tasty, but the headline here are the pierogis! Words like - Divine, Amazing, Delicious, OMG, and many other colorful metaphors were used to describe how flipping good they were! My wife says that they alone were worth the 7 hour drive! And that we WILL return for more! To those about to dine, I envy and salute you! ****** UPDATE! We went back for the second day in a row and had even more and news flash, still amazing! We are willing to drive 14 hours round trip for this place! We love you!! read more
