Great as always! Really friendly baristas, tasty coffee and yummy pastry items! Love the indoor and outdoor seating as well.

Rasher's & Egg Brekkie Pie and Iced Coffee
Ashley S.

Wonderful stop for breakfast and coffee, but I would stop here any time of day. Their brekkie pie was delicious and I'd love to try more. Oh I also got a slice of vegan banana bread and it was amazing. Their iced coffee was also very good. It is a cute spot with seating inside and outside. It has a relaxed atmosphere and I would definitely enjoy working there as I drink my coffee. The staff were also friendly, helpful, and informative. Oh and they also have some draft beer which I am going to come back and try. Great place! Pros: *Good coffee *Good food, Aussie pies & pastries *Local draft beer options *Great atmosphere *Friendly staff Cons: *Not really any, maybe a limited coffee selection if you like tons of options

Latte and biscotti

Cool spot, just off the beach! Coffee was very tasty, biscotti was delicious and just perfect companion for my latte. Staff were friendly and helpful. I would recommend it for sure.

I was in town and stopped for some Kookaburra! There is one in my hometown so I knew that it would be good! I had the honey badger ice with almond milk and a breakfast Aussie Pie which was delicious! The space was tiny and had a long line but the line moved quickly. The customer service was good as well.

This place was unbelievable !!! I enjoyed it so much. I was instantly transported to a surf shack in Australia. The coffee was amazing!! I had their signature honey badger with honey cinnamon and vanilla. Delicious and high quality coffee . We tried an Aussie brekkie pie . We had the corker. It's like a small chicken pot pie but with sausage egg and cheese: we loved it! They gave us a sauce that was like a spicy ketchup. The filling was savory and the pie was crispy and buttery! My friend and I shared one and fought over every bite lol! We also split a chocolate chip scone that had so many chocolate chips! Unreal! My favorite stop in st Augustine!

Early grey tea is very yummy

Pretty mixed reviews on their coffee if I'm being honest it's not my favorite but they don't come to play with their tea. Nice staff great location makes this the only look I go to

Very good coffee my husband and I were in town for a couple of days and came every morning for coffee to go in this cute location. Service was fast and nice. The Pc was my favorite one

Inside is really cute. Love the pole with all the pup photos!

Absolutely wonderful. This place will be a must if we ever come back to town. My hubby had the Aussie iced coffee which was fabulous. I had the green goddess iced which was so delicious -- my hubby even said "did you finish that? You never finish your drinks!" Why yes, yes I did inhale that delicious drink. We also had the True Blue Aussie pie. Was large enough for us to share, as we didn't want much. It was just the right amount. Flaky, light and yummy. Also the coffee shop overall is cute -- and clean! We sat inside and were very comfortable. A must visit if you're ever in St Augustine Beach.

We LOVE us some kooks! We have one in Gainesville(Alachua) so the visits there are quite frequent! We have never experienced the one in St Augustine by the beach so it was something we trued after I walk. The area/place is quaint which I shouldn't be suprised since it's near the beach so when we got in-the line was literally out the door-we were waiting outside the door. Once we got inside, the line seemed to move quicker; there was an employee who was taking drink orders as people waited in line. I got my usual which was/is honey badger (large) with oat milk and extra sugar free vanilla syrup with an egg/cheese Aussie pie! The inside of the shop was packed so we had to sit outside. Outside was a nice setup with the umbrellas and cute to drink outside when it's cooler but on the day we went it was too hot. We finished up our eats and I drank the remaining of my drink as we drove back to our Airbnb to get ready for the beach. Overall, I can see why it's packed/busy but I will probably enjoy my kooks in Gainesville-but it was definitely nice trying it out!

Corker brekkie pie

Love the fun names of a lot of the drinks and food. The brekkie pies and specialty coffee drinks were yummy. And service was friendly and patient, and quicker than expected with the number of customers. Highly recommend and would def go back next time we're in St. Augustine

Is there a place at this location large enough for me to park my travel trailer (30ft long plus my truck) so I can get some yummy Aussie meat pies?

Not at this location. Check their location at 470 SR207...the parking lot is larger

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!

I'm a St. Augustine local of 4 years and I found this charming little shop on one of my downtown…read morestrolls a few years back. 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. If you need help getting in, call. They will all help, without hesitation. Don't miss out on an amazing experience.

I came in on 4/3 and ordered the following: 1 Warm croissant with ham and cheese 1 Amond croissant 1 Simply Orange Juice 1 French Orange Juice 1 Cappuccino Once my total came I was quoted $31 sounded crazy for the little I ordered but nonetheless I swiped my debit card and went on with my day. Later that evening I was checking my bank transactions, and low and behold I was charged $43.46 for my order. No way! I was not a fan. I reached out to the website email and explained the issue. I got a polite "I'm sorry you were quoted wrong" & a copy of the transaction. I also noticed a $5.67 tip that I am sure I never opted for as I never leave tips with a card payment it's usually always cash. Honestly there are many good home baked places around that are in a better price range , and handle issues better, than this one was taken care of.

5 stars hands down! Came in around 10am before dropping the littles to school. Walked in, no one…read morebut another couple was inside looking at the menu. We glanced at the menu and ordered at the register. Bring cash! Helps local businesses keep more of their profit than paying high service fees for card payments. 3% charge for card swipes. I love the cash payment way over cards anyday but I'll leave that for a forum discussion. We sat outside and food arrived promptly. Ratings are as follows: * Kids Pancake 10/10 (fluffy, air, tasted like vanilla it was delicious. *French Toast 4/10 I could be wrong but I thought the menu said cinnamon roll on a brioche bread. Not sure tasted like regular white bread flat and not cinnamony. * Kids egg breakfast 10/10 she left nothing *Coffee regular self serve 10/10 dark roast! Delicious and fresh Total $37 could be because I paid with card since I only had a $20 on me. Nonetheless great spot, friendly service, and I loved the outside space.

We had an awesome time a few weeks back when we went down to Cafe Eleven in St Augustine for…read moreStorytellers show and Meet & Greet with wrestling legend Mick Foley! The venue is on A1A, right by St Augustine Beach. This was our first time there. They serve food but we had dinner beforehand, so we only had drinks. It's a nice little venue though. The show itself was awesome and Mick was so nice to meet afterwards! Why am I giving a 5 star review when we didn't even try their food? I'm at fortunate to know a few people that many would consider to be famous in the world of music. I have tagged along with them when they've done meet & greets at venues of various sizes from hundreds of fans to thousands of fans. Many, MANY venues handle these things very poorly. It ends up leaving fans feel as if the artist doesn't care about them when it's actual the venue that is unprepared and/or is treating the fans that dirt. That was absolutley NOT the case at Cafe Eleven. Every person we encountered from the staff seemed genuinely concerned with making sure the fans had a good experience. For us, this started a week prior when they took the time to email us to double check something about our order because our order was a bit odd. My wife paid for part of the order and our friends paid for the other half. The venue actually took the time to reach out to make sure we knew everything needed to match up. We did know that ahead of time but the fact that they even bothered was a touch I don't think I've ever heard of another venue taking the time to do. Well done Cafe Eleven! Based on that alone, I wouldn't think twice about driving down from Jacksonville next time there's an event at Cafe Eleven that I'm interested in.
