Would definitely recommend. The owner was delightful and very accommodating. The service was excellent, Eugene made our day! The Earl Grey tea was delicious and the omelette was literally the best I ever had. As a person who eats only gluten-free foods I was completely catered to. An excellent experience all around! read more

If you have not been to the Modern Rose, you are missing out. We came here with my granddaughter for her birthday and she LOVED it, and the food was amazing for child and adults. Eugene, our server, was a delight and totally on the ball. Ask for him if you can. The owner, Melanie, made her birthday extra special and was very personable and every table. Get here early because there is usually a wait but so worth it!! Try the Jambord chicken and the banana nut chai tea latte. Hubby had the griddle tower and we shared an assortment from their dessert tower. Enjoy!!! read more

Complication upon arrival with reservation made by phone yesterday for 8:30am this morning. and received a confirmation on Yelp early this morning which I confirmed to be told when we arrived that they 'don't do weekend reservations'. (Btw, we are local and this was the 2nd time I attended on Saturday morning and had weekend reservations since they opened) - so this made it puzzling and restaurant was empty so wondered why was this an issue? Probably should have left after this truthfully. Plenty of options at 8:15-8:30am to walk in and eat at. So if you made a weekend reservation - be leery. Sat in front room which was light and bright - food and drinks were as good as first time. . Very Instagrammable - so great for photos. Cute Easter and St Pattys decor. read more

If you're looking for an awesome brunch spot in town, I HIGHLY recommend The Modern Rose - St. Augustine I had the pleasure of checking this place out and it is truly one of the most unique and beautiful restaurants in St Augustine. Don't just take my word for it- they were voted Best Brunch in FL by Yelp along with many other nominations/awards. To start, the menu has a wide variety of options to choose from with all of them being super unique and absolutely delicious. I tried the Summer in Venice toast and I'm not even kidding- it was the best toast I've ever had. I also ordered their famous Mermaid Latte and it was the perfect blend of cinnamon and coconut. To end, I ordered a traditional matcha to go (and as an avid matcha lover, I was really impressed!) From the gorgeous decor, to the friendliest service, I highly recommend this place! The food was out INSANELY quick and again, service was top notch. It felt like I was at a super cool fairy tea party the entire time This will definitely be my go-to spot downtown (Btw if you happen to need the restroom, they even have a gold toilet and decked out bathroom ) read more

Absolutely do not trust them!! We were really excited to go but when we arrived there were no openings so we left our name and they said they would call us in 20m. So we came back and they said oh 20m. And they didn't call back. They never called us while we were waiting nearby. We came back and they said oh, another 30m. Really?? So dishonest read more

Super cute little spot! We had to wait for an hour for our table, but it was totally worth it. Delicious coffee drinks. I tried almond joy and it was really good! Not too sweet.

The Modern Rose is a must. The decor and atmosphere are so fun, and the food kicks it up another notch. I had the Tulum Sammie and the Vanilla Dirty Chai, which were both amazing. It's family run and the service was great. I highly recommend checking them out, you will not be disappointed. read more

Rating is really 4.75, but I don't readily give out five stars. Ironically, service was their downfall. Specifically service related to their handheld ordering device wielded by servers. It's not reliable. I ordered fruit salad as my free side. They brought out regular salad. They did replace at no cost. If they had just gone old school, they'd have gotten five stars. Food is amazing. (Drip coffee needs to be a bit stronger.) I ordered the omelette Genovese. Melanie (owner) could pay off her mortgage if she sold that recipe. I've never had a better omelette anywhere. Melanie seems to genuinely care about her restaurant, her staff, her customers. For example, before seating me, she "warned" me they'd be celebrating newlyweds dining there, so I wouldn't be caught off guard. Her kindness allowed all of us strangers to share in the joy of those newlyweds! It's called The Modern Rose. Be prepared for modern... Victorian. After I recovered from all the pink and red, I enjoyed all of it. Ambiance is fun. Highly recommend. St. Augustine is so very blatantly touristy. This tiny restaurant provides a haven of kindness in the middle of all that. Along with good food. read more

So rude. Just stood and stared at us as we "waited to be seated" walked past us without any acknowledgement. Finally on the third pass they said they would be right with us and then two walked by us and didn't even say anything. LITERALLY THE WORST. Felt like I was on candid camera. read more

Came here to celebrate a good friend's birthday. It is so beautiful inside, it's very much bridgerton and tea party like. It did take a while for someone to come to our table but we were greeted by the owner, she was so sweet! We enjoyed learning where she came from and how she put the restaurant together. I enjoyed my tea! I also ordered a prosciutto croissant which was good, the side salad was my favorite though. We cannot wait to come back and do a high tea! read more

What a gem of a place! The minute you walk in you feel like you are in another world. It's so carefully detailed. You feel like royalty hands down. My family goes to the one in delray all the time. The avocado toast is delicious and easy to eat! It's such a nice cozy place to have a meal with family friends or even by yourself! Seating is so accommodating for whatever you got going on. Love that you can stop by for a coffee/tea/boba to go before walking the town. I almost didn't want to share this place bc I know it will be busy once discovered. The best part is how lovely the owners and servers are. It feels like you're visiting family when you are here. Im not kidding, from your baby admiring all the art work/colors to your grandma enjoying a day out. The guys will appreciate the comfy seating and rich flavors! This place is a must when in St Augustine. Welcome to North Florida Modern Rose! read more

Beautiful decor, amazing food. This place understands the importance of ambience! Every corner has an interesting detail. The menu has a lot of variety and is affordable. I ordered the naan bread with hummus, pistachios, and dried fruit, and a delicious lavender latte. It was all so good and beautifully presented. I wish I could remember the server's name, but she was so sweet and charming. Also, they have a gold toilet and rose perfume in the women's restroom! I can't wait to go back again. Check it out. You won't regret it. read more

The Modern Rose: Where Brunch Becomes a Love Story If heaven had a brunch spot, The Modern Rose would be it. Nestled like a secret garden in the heart of St. Augustine, this enchanting little restaurant doesn't just serve food--it serves magic on a plate. On a scale of 5 stars, The Modern Rose earns a standing ovation and 5 stars with fireworks. As our 40th anniversary approached, I wanted to find a place that would truly speak to my wife's heart. We read the glowing reviews, and when she saw the décor online--soft roses, romantic charm, and elegant ambiance--she lit up. I knew I had found the spot. Wanting to make this milestone unforgettable, we made our way to The Modern Rose. We were absolutely blown away! My wife ordered the coconut toast topped with brulée bananas and eggs--a dish so divine it should come with a halo. I had the Modern-Day Egg Sandwich, and let me tell you, it wasn't just a sandwich. It was a moment. Layers of flavor, cooked to perfection, humble in presentation but bold in impact. Then came the banana chai tea... and I'm not exaggerating when I say it was simply amazing. This was the chai--a warm, spiced, creamy masterpiece - Second to none. But what truly elevates The Modern Rose to legend status is the ambiance. Think elegance draped in charm. It's the kind of place where time slows down, laughter lingers longer, and every detail whispers, "You're welcome here." My wife has already started planning a return trip--with our daughters in tow. And then--just when we thought it couldn't get any better--Bridget, our server, entered the scene. Equal parts professional, intuitive, and delightfully witty, Bridget brought a sparkle to our brunch that no five-star Michelin rating could measure. She made us feel seen, celebrated, and, quite honestly, like royalty. As the final touch on an already perfect experience, the owners surprised us with two decadent slices of chocolate mousse cake, personally delivered to our table in honor of our 40th anniversary. It wasn't just dessert--it was love, generosity, and hospitality baked into every forkful. My wife has been raving about The Modern Rose for two days now--the food, the ambiance, the people. And me? I'm just thankful they made me look like a genius. The Modern Rose isn't just a restaurant. It's a love letter to flavor, a symphony of kindness, and a reminder that sometimes, when you least expect it, life hands you a home run. We left with full hearts, satisfied stomachs, and a new St. Augustine tradition. Thank you, Modern Rose, for turning a simple brunch into a lifelong memory. Phil (Forest) & Angel read more

Got here just as she was closing up. The owner was so gracious and let us in as we were so hot and tired.

The Modern Rose - Better than croissant - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - St. Augustine, Florida

Although we had reservation of 11:00 for five we waited 1hour to be seated and then not in the room I had requested. Our server was great, food adequate although one of was not served. For ten more minutes. At the end of the meal, before we were finished, a young man came to me telling me we needed to leave because others were waiting! We had not even got our checks. I asked him why and he said that there were people waiting. I told him no. We had not been there long. So the owner came to us and said the same thing as I tried to explain. He was very flippant and that was the last straw. Also, one of us needed handicap entrance because of steep stairs and we were told it was in back of the property and closed off!! read more

Cute decoration although obviously very cheap. Looks good for instagram though. Sandwich was decent, coffee was really good. However not at all worth the price. Spent $40 with the tip for one sandwich and specialty coffee. Sandwich was 18$ and didn't come with any meat so I added a side of prosciutto for $7. They bring me one singular slice of prosciutto for seven whole dollars. And it wasn't even like it was good prosciutto. Very disappointing overhyped. Service was good read more

Stumbled upon this little quaint cottage setting. Walked in (soaking wet) from a rainstorm to be greeted by the owner. Beautiful, eclectic and well-planned decor.

My new favorite restaurant is here! Hello, Victorian meets Baroque aesthetic style dining with fairy tale vibes! As you enter, you'll be greeted by a magnificent lobby, setting the tone for the elegance that awaits you. Each dish and beverage is unique and delicious. The owners, Shahan and his wife Melanie, and their staff made us feel so welcomed that we returned the next day to continue the festivities. Plus, the food and drinks were so delicious, we wanted to try additional menu items. We dined in two unique, differently themed, ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL dining rooms. On my birthday, Melanie surprised me with a delicious homemade Creme Brûlée Cheesecake. She came out singing Happy Birthday with her staff wearing colorful boas. Then they started singing "Dancing Queen," which in my surprise and excitement, I recorded only the end of their singing. Thank you to the owners, Shahan and Melanie, for making me feel special on my birthday. What an amazing experience! This was, without a doubt, the best birthday ever! P.S. one of the standout features of the venue is the stunning restrooms. Each restroom is equally captivating, with its own unique charm and design. The first one you enter features a magnificent gold toilet! #WeRoseYou #themodernrosestaugustine read more
