    I suggested checking out The Modern Rose for the aesthetics and drink menu. This spot is incredibly Instagrammable, and the Aphrodi-Tea was very pretty as well as one of the best sips on the trip. I interacted with three members of staff, and they were hospitable from start to finish. I was most disappointed in the food menu, as I had browsed on the website, only to find that the actual menu on-site had less options and was more expensive. That was a bummer. My friend and I ordered a toast flight, which was decent...and not worth the steep price. If I was to return, I'd have a tea party and then go elsewhere for food.

    This quaint little restaurant was our destination before starting our exploration of St. Augustine. Greeted, seated and served by Marissa, our breakfast experience, the food and the service made for a great start of the day. Decor reminds me of a nicely accented tea room with ambiance fitting for an afternoon tea. All the dishes were delivered with attractive plating and flavorful in taste. Perfect place for entertaining guests or just personal pampering. Latte's looked great and tasted good. Omelet, croissant and bacon all well prepared. If you are looking for a treat make this your destination.

    We came over after church. This place is getting well known now after 1 year. All the food was very good. Waiter recommended the modern egg pizza and it was very good. He was correct but he had a bunch of orders mixed up and didn't listen to bring out Chocolate croissant out last. Brought it before my meal came out. I never found him when I asked for the check. Luckily the front desk man which I think was the owner brought it for me. As we were leaving waiter never even acknowledged us. Luckily everyone else was friendly. I wasn't going to let this ruin the 5 star. My wife got the French toast and love her latte. This place is so well decorated but they will be needing more room with the quality of their food. We waited 15 minutes for a table but the food here is worth the wait. We hope they will get better waiters or we have a better waiter experience.

    A must see!  So many cute photo ops inside and out!

    Had the absolute pleasure of meeting Daniella and Melanie from Modern Rose on Friday night. Kudos to these female business owners and their absolutely stunning tea room. Every inch of the space inside and out is so pretty and ornate and well thought thru. Walking by the decor literally pulled us inside, even though it was past the dining hour. Melanie and Daniella showed us all the different rooms of their space and their menu as well. SUCH a cute place to host a girls night, birthday party, shower, or other gathering. The lighting and decor is sure to make your pictures pop, and the food sounded incredible. Can't wait to come back and dine here!

    I wrote a review 11 months ago and decided to see how things have fared this year. I am happy to report that everything is still stellar. I have been for their high tea and today was there to celebrate a birthday. The menu has been revamped slightly but the food is absolutely delicious. Melanie, the owner, and her husband were there to make sure everything is perfect. The ambiance is as charming as it gets. The service was on point. I think the Princess Diana salad with grilled chicken is one of the best salads of all time. If you get tea service it will be served in a most charming pot. I was also there with some friends several months ago for the high tea. I am posting all the pictures together. High tea is a special menu by reservation only. Everything is simply delightful. This is one of my favorite places in St. Augustine.

    I'm still so amazed at this place and honestly craving it as I type this! My boyfriend found this place and brought me here for a very cute brunch. The service was great the owner and staff were so friendly and helpful, they went above and beyond and I appreciated it! Now the food was so freaking yummy one of the better omelettes I've had and the matcha was amazinggggggg!! I love this place and can't wait to bring my family here.

    This place is so cute and the owners are sooo nice! Cant wait to come back and try everything!

    Cute decor leading to the dining rooms.

    We had a lovely brunch here while in St Augustine! The decor was beautifully done, so whimsical and perfect for an event like a shower or birthday party. The server was hilarious and the food was so delicious! The drinks were so creative and amazing too!! We'll definitely go back there every time we're in St Augustine.

    Overall, was a nice breakfast! A little disappointed in the service as when we first got there perhaps the owner/ staff was unsure how to sit a party of two because they had just gotten a call before us for a party of nine and we're scrambling around. Once we were finally seated, our order was taken however it must not have been put into the kitchen, even though we saw him use a machine to take our order because a table of five got their breakfast before us. wish they would've come by to tell us the mistake, but we just had to pay attention and figure out that our food was up next at least it was tasty. Hopefully, they figure out their staffing issues even for a busy time of year because it was a Sunday morning at 9 AM.

    Just as it is adorable, it's delicious! The best kept secret brunch spot in St. Augustine. It's cute Victorian decor, tea service and delicious foods seriously can't be beat. The owner and the staff were very lovely, accommodating and went above and beyond to make sure we had the best possible experience. The location is nice too; it's a block from down town and a bit more quiet during the busiest times of the year. You NEEED to try this place. Seriously!!!

    Super cute tea place with tons of teas. They don't take reservations so we left our name and were told it would be about 45 minutes so we left our name then walked downtown. The place was decorated for Halloween, they had so many different teas and coffees it was hard to choose. When they aren't as busy, they do tea flights but they said because they had so many large groups that day they wouldn't be able to. No biggie. I really liked the breakfast sandwich I got, the modern egg sandwich. I also liked the happy go lucky tea, super fruity but would love to try more. Luckily my mom and I split the Lotus Flower Bomb because it was very, very sweet. Maybe it's the ambiance that got me but I'd love to come back and try their high tea.

    Lavender latte

    Went to have brunch today with my good friend Autumn. We both had the lavender latte, hers was hot and mine cold. So good!!! CBR flat bread (8 out of 10). And chocolate croissant with warm strawberries and lots of warm chocolate 10 out of 10!!!!! Service was spectacular and the ambience amazing!! Such a pretty spot in St Augustine! Will go back for more.

    When I tell you to take yourself, your g'friends, your daughters ... call (904) 907-2136 and make a reservation (Mon-Fri 9a-5p | Sat-Sun 8a-5p) soon! It's on Cuna St - which is just a short walk from the parking garage ... the decor is amazing - and the eats and drinks delectable! The menu is vast and varied from hot to cold, coffee to tea and everything in-between! We all decided on breakfast items from omelette to croissant french toast to avocado toast -- all the flavors complimented one another and made for a lovely brunch. Been open for 5 weeks and I think we have a hidden jewel here in our midst! Entering felt almost like we slipped into the looking glass ... it's effervescent and parisian and dainty and quaint! Service was good, even though they were quite busy! We will definitely go back again!

    My wife and I have visited The Ice Plant several times over the years, and it remains one of our…read morefavorite dining destinations in St. Augustine. The combination of imaginative cocktails, exceptional food, and a unique atmosphere makes every visit memorable. The cocktail program is outstanding. We enjoy trying a variety of their exotic and inventive drinks, and they never disappoint. The flavors are bold, creative, and unlike anything you'll find at a typical restaurant bar. The Yellow Submarine cocktail is quite possibly the best drink I have ever consumed. Made with curry-infused Bermuda black rum, lime, ginger, and Asian five-spice brown sugar syrup, it sounded unusual on paper but came together beautifully. I enjoyed it so much that I ordered four of them that evening, something I rarely do. That was three years ago, and despite returning several times since then, I have never seen it on the menu again. The food is equally impressive. Two years ago, I ordered the Skillet Roasted New York Strip served with Yukon Gold potato-anna, roasted asparagus and spring onions, watercress, and black truffle hollandaise. To this day, it remains one of the top five restaurant meals I have ever eaten. Every component on the plate was exceptional. The steak was perfectly prepared, the crispy potato galette was irresistible, and the black truffle hollandaise elevated the entire dish to another level. It was the kind of meal that stays with you long after the plate is cleared. I would gladly drive 300 miles just to eat it again. Most recently, I had the wild mushroom bisque, and it was the best soup I have ever consumed. Rich, creamy, buttery, intensely mushroomy, and perfectly balanced, it was everything a mushroom soup should be. The addition of crispy pickled onions and crème fraîche added texture and contrast that made an already outstanding soup even better. My wife and I enjoyed it so much that we returned the very next day hoping to order it again, only to discover it had already rotated off the menu. My only complaint about The Ice Plant is that some of their greatest creations seem to disappear as quickly as they arrive. While I appreciate the constantly evolving menu and understand that seasonal changes are part of what makes the restaurant special, there are certain items that deserve a permanent home. The Yellow Submarine cocktail, the wild mushroom bisque, and the Skillet Roasted New York Strip with black truffle hollandaise are three of the finest things I have experienced there. The fact that I can vividly remember one of these items from three years ago and another from two years ago says everything. Great restaurants serve good food. Truly special restaurants create dishes and drinks that stay with you for years. The Ice Plant has done that for me more than once, and that is why we continue to return whenever we visit St. Augustine.

When I arrived with my pregnant wife and my service dog, he asked somewhat curtly if it was a service dog. After I confirmed and thanked him, he rudely placed the menu on the table, turned around without saying another word or showing any basic courtesy, and just walked away with his back to us. It was a pretty cold and uncomfortable welcome. That said, the restaurant is absolutely charming. I really loved the interior ambiance--it's cozy, well-decorated, and has a very pleasant vibe. The food was extremely delicious. We ordered the Half Pound Ice Plant Burger and it was juicy, fresh, and packed with flavor. You could taste the quality in every single bite--the meat was perfect, the ingredients fresh, and everything very well balanced. Definitely one of the best burgers I've had recently. Despite the initial host experience, I would return without hesitation for the food and the atmosphere. Highly recommended, but they could improve the initial greeting.

However, on our trip it was too cold to dine outside. We were seated at a large table inside that accommodated our large group. They had several tables inside, but I could see on a busy Sunday or Saturday morning this place would get waitlisted quickly. Everyone loved their meals. No complaints. I ordered the lobster roll. It was very good, but I would try something different on a return visit. The salads coming out looked amazing! Everyone at my table raved about their meals: Shukshuka, BALT, Benedicts, cinnamon rolls. Every single thing was enjoyed!
