We visited The Modern Rose for a morning date and we both loved it! I started with the Rejuvenate Boba, which is a bursting dragonfruit with passionfruit tangerine tea and lemon. My wife had the Signature flight - Lavender Latte, Rose-iatto, Cinnamon Mocha and Caramel Macchiato. All great choices! For food, I went with the Mick Griddle Tower - 3 slices of brioche French toast, stacked with two eggs & 3 slices of bacon, all smothered with melted mozzarella, powdered sugar & maple syrup. And it was DELICIOUS. The restaurant was a bit busy while we were there, but it didn't take away from our experience. The staff were all amazing and we'd love to go back when we visit St. Augustine!

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.

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'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.

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.

English breakfast

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!!!

Very disappointed in the food. There was 1 person working the desk. She was also taking the orders and serving the food. Cleaning tables as people left. She was very nice and polite but very overwhelmed with trying to take care of everything. The room we were in was on the gaudy side. We had the high tea. Not worth the price. ($55) Looked wonderful because of the presentation but taste was just okay. I like spice but there were things that the spice did not work in for me. The tea was tepid. It's a one and done for me.

Visited your restaurant after seeing several recommendations on social media, and I was not disappointed. Despite arriving on a busy weekend around 9:10 AM, the host was very accommodating. We were initially quoted a 50-minute wait for our party of three, but the host kindly took our number and invited us to return at 10:00 AM. We were seated shortly after our return. Even with several large groups in the dining room, the service was excellent. Although the food took a little longer than expected due to the volume of orders, the wait staff was incredibly thoughtful and provided a complimentary treat, which was a very sweet and unnecessary gesture that we truly appreciated. The food was amazing. I ordered the Mick Griddle Tower and I am still full from it. Please pass along my compliments to the chef and the kitchen crew for such a delicious meal. The restaurant is a wonderful choice for a special occasion. While the wait is to be expected, it is certainly worth it.

Lavender latte
Johanna L.

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.

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.

See all

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.
