    Medium spumoni
    Helaine R.

    I heard this shop had great coconut ice cream so I had to go try it. I ordered a small and it was a good size. It was bigger than my posted picture as I had already eaten some. They had a lot of flavors but I didn't look carefully because I was all in for the coconut. My husband enjoyed the spumoni. Both employees there were super friendly and they were eager to help and make suggestions. The shop had seating inside and outside and we were able to watch the customers get greeted and served quickly. Most interesting thing was the female employee checked in to see how we liked it. That has never happened to me in an ice cream shop.

    Patrick served a regular coffee w/milk within minutes of ordering. VERY strong coffee; I recommend asking for 1/3 coffee + 1/3 water + 1/3 milk & LOTS of honey (or sugar), unless you want a straight-up, RockStar brew w/lots of gusto packed into one cup... think 'Truck Stop' coffee... & under $3, too!! Me? I will be ordering their 'Affogato' (espresso w/1scoop ice cream) next time. The freezers are well stocked with LOTS of #IceCream choices with #WaffleCones to cool off in the afternoons. Patrick manages the store for his Pops, John; super nice, friendly guy, made the coffee taste better. (Note to self: When offered a sweetener, TAKE IT!! ) Easily accessed off the A1A, across from #BeverlyBeach, with 2 designated parking spots available, bc summer hasn't quite hit; it's still early in the season.

    What a nice selection of flavors to choose from!

    After enjoying Crescent Beach we decided to stop over for some ice cream, and weren't disappointed! They have a nice selection of ordinary and some not so ordinary flavors to choose from. Service was top notch and we were encouraged to sample anything we wanted. Portions are large -- I had to tell her to stop adding ice cream to my cup to avoid over indulging! I had my first affogata and let me tell you, it was fantastic! The espresso was nice and strong but contrasted nicely with the sweetness and richness of the ice cream. I suspect it will be hard to beat this one, but after eating it I am hooked and am looking forward to my next! We will definitely come back here the next time we're at this beach.

    Because what's better than ice cream and coffee? Island Ice Cream Cafe is a small business in Crescent Beach. When I spent the weekend in the area last month, we not only came here for ice cream on Saturday, but again on Sunday for coffee! The versatility is palpable. The place has character as soon as you walk in. Brightly painted walls and around 20 seats. Thinking back, I honestly can't remember the flavor I dove into, but it was astounding in said moment! Maybe Salted Caramel? Geez Matt, you're getting old... You know how much I support locally roasted coffee, so seeing none other than Bold Bean on the menu won me over completely. The owner told us how the upper management team from BB trained them thoroughly. Totally recommend when in the neighborhood, especially after a classic Florida beach day!

    Stopped here for something sweet after spending the afternoon on St. Augustine Beach with my…read morefamily. This was my first visit to Cone Heads, and I had a very enjoyable experience! Cone Heads is located right on A1A Beach Blvd, just a block off of the beach. It is in a standalone building that is inviting with both colorful signage and plenty of outdoor seating. They also have a drive-thru and a private parking lot. When we visited on a Tuesday in July around 5:30 PM, we had no issue getting a parking spot. There were some other customers enjoying some ice cream, but there was relatively no line when we entered the store. The ordering happens inside, and you walk right into the ice cream cabinets and counter. All of the flavors are displayed and can be seen from the order line. Additionally inside, there are some tables to sit and eat at, along with a restroom. They sell a variety of merchandise along with their food and dessert selection. I liked seeing the community cork-board, where there were a variety of different posters and advertisements for events and services around the area. The menu consisted of traditional ice cream items one would expect - cups, cones, sundaes, banana splits, milkshakes, and more. They also had a Seasonal Special section on the menu, which I assume changes somewhat frequently. This trip, that item was a Donut Ice Cream Sandwich. There are some sundae combinations on the menu, but you can customize your own if you choose. There is hard ice cream, soft serve, and also some hot food options - hot dogs, sausages, and tamales, primarily. For drinks, they had canned soda, bottled, water, and some coffee options. As far as to-go, they had pints and quarts available for the ice cream, along with a freezer full of pre-packaged pints, quarts, and ice cream sandwiches for a grab and go situation. Having never been here before, our group needed some time to look at the menu and flavors before ordering. There were around 30 different flavors of hard ice cream, which included No Sugar Added and Dairy Free varieties, in addition to traditional full dairy varieties. I thought that the flavor selection was a healthy mix of traditional favorites and unique offerings. The staff working were friendly and helpful with answering all of our questions about the flavors. I even got to try a couple samples before making my decision. After much debate, I landed on trying the Donut Ice Cream Sandwich. This was made to order, and I got to choose the ice cream for the filling. I opted for the Kahula Chip for a coffee and donut flavor combination. I did enjoy this treat! The donut was fresh (and from a local spot), and the ice cream complimented it nicely. I thought the price was also fair for the size and specialty of the dessert, at $5.50 before any tax. My dog was waiting patiently in the car, so we ordered him a Doggie Ice Cream. It was a small boat of vanilla soft serve with peanut butter sauce and a Milk Bone. For my magnet collection, I also purchased one of their logo to take home with me. I personally did not pay the bill, but I thought the pricing here was fair and in line with any other similar type of shop. They took both cash and card. This shop is exactly what you would want out of an ice cream shop on the beach - fun, colorful, and local. They incorporate various other local businesses into their products. The theme of the establishment is appropriate for being a block away from the ocean, and there is a lot of color and fun decor to look at around the building. The staff were all pleasant, the product is tasty, and the price is right. Really enjoyed discovering Cone Heads on this trip, and will make sure to stop by again during my future trips to St. Augustine!

The ice cream is quite creamy and delicious! The staff works very hard to make sure you are served well! Inside the small parlor, there are items for sale like T-shirts and such. The local, fan, favorite flavor is chocolate peanut butter! It has loads of liquid peanut butter pieces that have solidified and chopped peanut butter cups! For those non-dairy, ice cream lovers, there are nondairy options!

One would think there's not much you can do with a grilled cheese sandwich, but the Grilled Cheese Gallery proves that assumption wrong. There are 13 amazing and creative choices of grilled cheese here. Don't like grilled cheese? They also serve salads, poutine, mac & cheese grilled sandwiches, ice cream and other desserts. This is Comfort Food headquarters! There were actually so many choices it was hard to choose. I chose A Night in Amsterdam: Gouda, Gruyere, Swiss, Cheddar, on Artisan White. My wife had The Queen Brie: House cured bacon, French Brie, Raspberry Puree, Balsamic on Sourdough. My Amsterdam was quite a creation: three slices balanced on a pedestal with cheese trailing down more than a foot. It was delicious! My wife lauded her Queen Brie as well. We wish we had more time in Saint Augustine as this place is definitely worth a second visit.

We were…read moretired and a little hangry when we walked in, and thankfully, everyone in the group loved this place! We ordered: the Amsterdam, the Artist, the Queen Brie, and the Classic (2 sandwiches). Three of us upgraded to a small cup of tomato soup (each order comes with a mini cup for dipping). I was the lucky person who ordered the Amsterdam, which, much to our surprise and delight, was served on a hook with melted cheese stretching down to the tray it was served on. Everyone had to take a photo of my sandwich! It contained a variety of cheeses, so while the taste was fairly classic, it was a bit more nuanced than the Classic sandwich, which only had cheddar cheese. Everyone else thought their sandwiches were delicious too. And we all loved the homemade tomato soup! I tend to be a bigger fan of creamy tomato soups, but this one was rich with umami flavor and had a bit of a kick. While this is a counter-service restaurant that's pretty much no-frills, the employees were friendly and helpful. One of them refilled our water cups at the table, even though the pitcher she had was leaking, and I didn't get the sense that they normally did that. Sadly, they don't sell soft serve ice cream any more, but there are so many ice cream shops in this part of St. Augustine that you can easily walk somewhere else for dessert (which we did). The place wasn't crowded on a Friday evening and had lots of menu choices, so if you like grilled cheese sandwiches, whether creative or simple, be sure to stop by the Grilled Cheese Gallery on your visit to St. Augustine!
