    Aussie pie and iced honey badger latte
    Dana G.

    Stopped here, since it seems to be the place to get coffee in St. Augustine. Plus I've heard Australia has a great coffee culture. The coffee was very good. I had an iced honey badger latte, and it was delicious. We also tried the Aussie pies, which were just ok. I'd skip those tbh. I think my husband got the wrong one, since we thought it had sausage and halfway through we realized there was none lol. Overall, staff was very friendly. Their bathroom seems to need some work (was clogging up, yikes).

    Honey Badger latte

    I ordered an iced Honey Badger latte at the window and it was delicious! Perfect quick stop before a beach walk!

    So spacious this was my first time in I was greeted with a welcome in and smiles. Best thing ever! Inside was clean and open I loved the layout. 3 drinks were $18 pretty standard. Drinks are always good food is good ! Stop in, stay a while

    Service was fast and friendly. I ordered a caramel iced coffee and a porker to enjoy on the deck. As a bonus I ordered an almond scone for my next morning breakfast. All tasted very good, however the porker was a bit too salty. Enjoyed the outside deck people watching and chatting with other traveler.

    Aussie Pies!

    Visiting Saint Augustine for three nights, walked across the street to this one of many coffee shops... What a fantastic experience! The only thing better than the food and coffee was the level of service and cleanliness of the dining area! I know there are many of these around town, but this one was fantastic, and a must stop!

    The bakery options have something for everyone! Dairy Free, Gluten free, Vegan, they have you covered!~

    I admit that I have been the beneficiary of Kookaburra fare many times but this is my first visit to the location myself. This location is very nice, seems clean, good space and well located with easy parking. I have had the Aussie Pies in that past and they are very good. Think Chicken Pot pie but breakfast version. Small personalized size "pie" with egg, bacon, cheese, What's not to like there? This time I had a Peach Muffin. Nice fresh chunks of peach in the muffin and very tasty. We were traveling with someone who needed Dairy Free and that was no problem. Their bakery items are clearly identified for all customers to pick wisely. Coffees, lattes, even the hot chocolate were great also. Service was quick and to the point. Glad I made the visit!

    Cute shop with coffee, wine, and meat pies. No labels on the drinks so pay attention to the counter calling items out.

    Good coffee, great service, engaging baristas. Only downside is the cafe itself. It has the ambiance of a Walmart break room.

Seeing a 4.9 rating honestly made me pretty skeptical becuase usually places that hyped never live up to it. But wow... this one actually did. I'm pretty sure my 5 stars are gonna help push this place to a full 5.0 The design itself is cute but not exactly perfection, and the checkout line process could definetly be smoother during busy times. BUT the food... thats where this place absolutley shines. The Arepas Special with the corn pancakes filled with eggs, avocado and tomatoes was an absolute BEAST. Fresh, flavorful and super satisfying. Then the Avocado Toast with the sweet pumkin pieces just blew the rest of our taste buds out the window. Such a weird combo on paper but somehow worked sooo good. And finishing it all with a Cafe con Leche and a blueberry scone just put the final dot on this breakfast experiance. It honestly didnt feel like "just breakfast" it felt like an experiance you remember later. Big shoutout to Huhny for a human she is! She absolutley knocked it outta the ballpark with recommendations, brought everything fast to the table, and you could really feel the passion and positive energy she delivered Thank you team, we'll 100% be back next time we visit your cool town St. Augustine.

The staff were super helpful since it was our first time, explaining the menu, options and provided recommendations. I ordered a vanilla latte iced w/ almond milk and the mushroom tostadas (which was a special) The vanilla latte was very good, creamy/ smooth vanilla taste. The mushroom tostadas were probably the best tostadas i've ever had. They were so flavorful and fresh I ate my whole plate. Definitely a must try if you're from or in the area.

I guess that's why we sign the waivers! With that said, my kids loved this place. It was nice to hear their giggles and see my 5-year-old son basically get tackled by a caybara trying to get his lettuce. There are other animals in the experience, including a floppy ear bunny, a loud parrot (that bites so don't touch!) and a few other animals. They are great in keeping the kids distracted before the main capybara event. We had a really fun time.

We fed them lettuce and kale, and were able to pet them. The young lady in the capybara room with us was very knowledgeable and gave us so much information! She was wonderful! What wasn't wonderful was the service for the rest of the visit... we arrived 5 minutes early, yet when we were being taken back to the room with the capybaras, the lady at the front desk told the other employees "yeah. The group that is late." Excuse me? We were on time? They have a little waiting room area with smaller animals such as small bunnies, ferrets, lizards, etc. My party was waiting for me to go to the restroom before we left, so they were looking at those animals in the waiting room. All of a sudden, they were told they need to get out and weren't allowed to be in there... who cares? There was NO ONE ELSE in there at the time... we had just paid $50 PER PERSON for 25 minutes with the capybaras. The LEAST you can do is let us look at the smaller animals for 5 minutes... In our room, there were 11 of us. They made $550 in 25 minutes. With a session every 30 minutes from 11 AM to 4:30 PM, they make roughly $5,000 alone for just the capybara experience. Not to mention the other $50 they charge people who want to see the more exotic animals. Again, the LEAST they could do is let us look at the lizards... We were not impressed with the experience whatsoever, by my sister was able to check off a bucket list item which is all I can ask for.

View - only thing good about this place, but you can eat next door for the same view or just walk around. Barely any cheese on the breakfast sandwiches. Very basic! As for the staff......our waitress was good and helpful. Then, about 5 min before we were done, I received a phone call from my daughter and grandson because they got a new kitty. Not something you just talk over the phone about, needed FaceTime! The rudest person I believe I have ever met in 50 years of life, poked her head around the corner and very loudly stated she did NOT want to hear my conversation, and to turn my call down or get off. There was only 1 other customer there, on the other side of the room, we couldn't even see from our seats due to a wall. This was JUST an employee. This woman represented the owner, her sister! We immediately got up, without finishing, walked to the front where I said that was the rudest experience I had ever had. She continued with, "no what you are doing is rude!" I said answering a call from my daughter is NOT rude! Treating a customer this way is and I walked out. My husband went to pay, and asked her if she was the owner. She said no, my sister is. To which he replied, "then I don't want to hear another word out of your mouth! Your opinion does not matter! She didn't like that at all. We paid and tipped our waitress but will NEVER return! I hope that her sister takes this very seriously! It is not ok to be that rude to your customers! I would fire anyone who talked to my customers that way. There is a way to handle things you don't like. She had zero empathy and her approach was unacceptable. Her clout, lacking lol!
