What a cute coffee spot we found ! Lots vm of folks with puppies today! The coffee was good but the breakfast pot pie was delicious.. called an Aussie pie you we got sausage egg and cheese! It was flaky yummy deliciousness! Went perfect with the coffee. Personal pot pies but we shared because I only wanted few bites! The staff was sweet and helpful and I'm glad we stopped here!

This place was 5 mins down the road from my hotel, and being someone who loves trying local coffee shops, this was one of them. I've seen a few around the area so I had thought it was just that good. I got an iced honey badger latte with almond milk and a corker pie with one of their sauces. Total came out to be $16. The corker, an Aussie breakfast pie with eggs, cheese, and sausage, was filling! It's flaky, salty, flavorful, and plenty to be enough for breakfast. The cashier who took care of me was super sweet and recommended me some things. They have indoor and outdoor seating AND they have an outdoor ordering window if you only want drinks. They also sell their merch like coffee beans and shirts. MUST MUST TRY!!

Gluten-free people get here now! :-) I had the tastiest gluten free pumpkin vegan doughnut and really good handcrafted coffee. It was such a great treat to start my day!

Walked over for a morning coffee; multiple options and very quick service. Didn't have as many Aussie pies as advertised so a little bummed I couldn't try it but overall I enjoyed the banana bread and my honey badger! Ambiance was a cool indoor and outdoor cafe; good to work if need be.

Love this spot! Indoor and outdoor seating, plenty of outlets inside to get some work done! Staff is incredible and makes great recommendations. Food is tasty and what you would expect from a small coffee/bakery spot.

The staff were such sweet ladies!! The coffee I had was a quick order, a perfect pick me up before a long day. There's plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. I think my favorite part was the column filled with Polaroid of dog visitors! Great spot and will be back!

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

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.

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.

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
Maya C.

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

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

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

Cousteau's creates the best milkshakes I have experienced in my 60+ years. Thick and flavorful, my go-to is the Be Still Cody, served with espresso whipped cream. I arrived as they were opening for the day. Counter help was friendly and ready to meet the work day. He was responsive and efficient and made our order quickly.

If you like that ice cream, you'll like the selection here. HOWEVER, the milkshakes are not made with that ice cream. I can only speak to having the Whirlybird waffle and Mayday ice cream, not a milkshake. The Whirlybird was ok. My waffle was a bit tough; I can't tell if that was because it was stale or because of how the apples had soaked into it. The apples weren't that special, either. They were a bit overpowering and made the whole thing a tad sloppy. If they were diced apples instead of sliced, it might have been a bit easier to eat. The whipped cream and vanilla ice cream were a great accompaniment to it all, though. The insides are very clean and neat. Everyone there was friendly and attentive. They served us a great many samples as we decided on what to get. I would come back again to try a different waffle creation. They did have serval that sounded great. And the ice cream is great, as usual.

We walked in around 12 o'clock on a Wednesday afternoon and was able to sit at the bar with no challenges. Bar area is open seeing if you want a table you do have to check in. I started with a handmade Italian soda the ginger one and I love this because the ginger is very pronounced. It's very crisp and light. I also got an order of their soup of the season, which was a red curry. It was absolutely delicious. Had great flavor little spice at the end of it as well. For lunch, we split the fried chicken that comes with collard greens and whole cakes. The collard greens are by far one of the best that we have ever had. They use slab bacon and they're absolutely delicious. We've literally talked about them for years and they were just as good as we remembered. Fried chicken was nice and moist and the hocakes cakes were very sweet. For drinks, I tried one of the seasonal ones which was the witches of Eastwick. The gin based drink definitely was sweet, but exactly what I was looking for. My husband got an old-fashioned because they had black walnut bitters when he was really excited about.

Long waits are common for this spot. The interior is the old Ice Plant so it has great character. Not super large so limited dining spots within. Very high ceilings and though there were plenty of diners, it was overly loud. Great spot to enjoy the company you are with! Our server was top notch, knowledgeable, helpful, friendly but not trying to monopolize our table talk. We started with Cocktails which were all great. I went classic Old Fashioned, presentation AND taste were on point. We split the Crab Beignets order of 4. The breading on them was light and fluffy, the Crab tasty and they were cooked appropriately, no burns or underdone spots. For our main course, we elected to split 2 of the specials of the day so they may not be there when you go, but judging by the quality of the specials, any dish would be great. We had the Caesar Salad (which is like calling the Queen Mary2 a "boat"!). It is next level, 7 minute eggs, homemade croutons, Anchovie forward, all good! We also split an order of Shrimp Cake Sliders. These were huge, and the slaw that accompanied was the perfect match to the shrimp without overwhelming them. For dessert we settled on the Pineapple cake which also had coconut and all kinds of wonderful flavors going on! A really outstanding meal from beginning to end!

I was told 9pm at the earliest on the phone, the website said 7:30 at the earliest and when I showed up in person to ask they had immediate seating. In fact, not one other table was taken indoors. We had our entire meal alone, inside this restaurant which is a converted home. Many of the homes in St Augustine are like this, so a home converted business isn't weird. But it is when 10+ employees constantly walk by and you are eating at a somewhat private table. I have no idea what all those employees were doing. We joked that the cheesecake restaurant was a front for another business because the employees seemed so busy, yet no one was there. We also had to laugh, almost the entire menu was sold out. Every person at our table had to order their 2nd or 3rd backup item, most of us completely changing our order. One in our group had the waiter come back twice to tell us they sold out of his item AS his meal was being made. While the cheesecakes were very good and there was potentially a nice selection, I think this location was a bit too odd to recommend to other diners unless you specifically just want cheesecake. If you do, just get it to go.

Five stars doesn't even come close to describing this wonderful bakery experience…read more I am from a large family who love to gather over food and fun. The first time we had a cake from Creme de la Cocoa, it was lemon blueberry for my Mom's birthday. From then on, "good enough" wouldn't do. The cakes from this boutique bakery are exquisite works of art that taste absolutely divine. We've had vanilla cake with white chocolate between the layers and fresh strawberries for Easter, exquisitely decorated with whipped cream frosting and fresh spring flowers, a birthday cake for my mother that said HAPPY BIRTHDAY HURRICANE PEGGY with a hurricane and warning markers bc her birthday is the first day of hurricane season that was Florida Native, featuring summer fruits and orange zest in the frosting, and the latest for Labor Day that will be a classic carrot cake with cream cheese frosting and Fall decor that will say HAPPY FALL, Y'ALL! We've had their French macarons in every color and flavor, their charcuterie box for my husband's birthday which featured sweets of every kind in white and dark chocolate, and their homemade cinnamon rolls for breakfast. All were exceptional tasting and beautiful in their artistry. Creme de la Cocoa is where perfection in design and flavor are an every day adventure. And the customer comes second only to the quality of their decadent delights.

We each ordered a Chocolate Chip cookie sandwiched with chocolate buttercream, along with a chocolate and praline cake that we split. Everything was delicious! I loved both desserts! The chocolate and praline cake was definitely the winner. The place itself is lovely and has a beautiful atmosphere, making it a nice spot to stop in for something sweet. The only reason I'm giving four stars instead of five is the service. It was average, and for me, personality and a warm greeting really make a difference in the overall experience. The desserts were wonderful, but I would have loved a little more warmth and friendliness from the staff!
