The croissant did not disappoint. It was very warm and delicious and satisfied my craving. We also enjoyed some different lattes from their menu, which were yummy and energizing. There's plenty of room for inside seating and there's a nice vibe if that's what you're looking for and there's also some outdoor seating as well. If it's nice outside, I would recommend that. Service was quick and very friendly. I definitely recommend if you're looking for a quick or casual breakfast/lunch option in Saint Augustine Beach!

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!

You can tell right away the people there really care about the animals and not just making it a "tourist spot" sucking your cash out, although... you know... Everybody was super friendly and took time to talk to us and answer questions without rushing us. What really got me was hearing how many of the anima who there was that what happened ls were rescued after people didnt want them anymore or treated them badly. The beard dragons, python (banana, or not), lizzards, rabbits and even the tiny goats up front all looked so well taken care of and comfortable around people. Parrot was the beast with the sign says "1 bite!" The little goats at reception were seriously adorable trying to eat your cloth. The whole place has a very calm and loving vibe. You can see the owners put there heart into giving these animals a safe place instead of letting them be thrown away. It felt very genuine and not fake at all. Brothers capybara's are well over fat with cabbage, running around in the circles and made in friends with everybody were of course, one hell of an experience being the largest rotten on the planet they just got our hearts. Definetly recomend stopping by if your in the hood. Our little one left smiling the whole.

The capybaras were adorable, sweet, and such a unique experience. We're already talking about coming back to try some of the other animal café experiences they offer. Highly recommend!

Seeing a 4.9 rating honestly made me pretty skeptical becuase usually places that hyped never live up to it. But wow... this one actually did. I'm pretty sure my 5 stars are gonna help push this place to a full 5.0 The design itself is cute but not exactly perfection, and the checkout line process could definetly be smoother during busy times. BUT the food... thats where this place absolutley shines. The Arepas Special with the corn pancakes filled with eggs, avocado and tomatoes was an absolute BEAST. Fresh, flavorful and super satisfying. Then the Avocado Toast with the sweet pumkin pieces just blew the rest of our taste buds out the window. Such a weird combo on paper but somehow worked sooo good. And finishing it all with a Cafe con Leche and a blueberry scone just put the final dot on this breakfast experiance. It honestly didnt feel like "just breakfast" it felt like an experiance you remember later. Big shoutout to Huhny for a human she is! She absolutley knocked it outta the ballpark with recommendations, brought everything fast to the table, and you could really feel the passion and positive energy she delivered Thank you team, we'll 100% be back next time we visit your cool town St. Augustine.

Like you're visiting somebody's house, it's all very welcoming. People seem to know each other's names here --- certainly the guy dressed in pirate garb sitting next to me knew the gals behind the counter. My veggie omelet was decent, but I wouldn't say it was a generous portion like some reviews say. It was just right, not huge, and fairly priced. Coffee is average diner-style stuff however. FWIW the view of the harbor ain't all that great, but you are in a good location, right down the road from the Fort. All in all it's good for a quick meal but nothing here says it's a must do in my book.

Our visitor had the Big Bubba -- a biscuit topped by scrambled eggs topped by sausage topped by gravy. They left no crumb behind. I didn't know they offer ryder sandwiches for lunch, a local staple on the First Coast popularized by early 20th century immigrants from Lebanon. I'll be back for that soon.

Both omelettes were very large and came with choices, I got grits, Mel got home fries. The omelettes were great. Mine had plenty of chicken, an adequate portion of jarred salsa, and plenty of peppers and onions. I'd have liked to have seen tomatoes included. I'm sure I could get that on request. Mel's omelette was loaded with mushrooms, and while I didn't try it, she reported that it was quite good. The grits and home fries were good. Overall, the food was a solid 3, the service tacked on the other star. Gail was great. She was very attentive and offered all the right things at the right times. The 20oz juice portion is a welcome option in a world of small juice pours, but it clocks in at $6. Total ticket, including a 16oz OJ and a coffee, was $49. Maybe I'm just giving boomer vibes, but that's steep for breakfast. The portion sizes were sufficient for both of us to have another small meal off each order. In summary, I recommend this place for a breakfast/brunch (they had a small menu of alcoholic drinks for the brunchers), in spite of the sticker price. I'll be back.

The ordering process seemed chaotic but I ordered two Cuban sandwiches and a Cafe Con Leche for lunch. Told the wait would be 15 minutes, we sat outside in the meantime. After 25 minutes and no sandwiches, I inquired inside as to the status - finally, five minutes later the sandwiches were ready. However, no Cafe Con Leche . Again went inside, waited for the front desk server to process several orders before I could ask about the status of the drink. Nothing had been made, so another five minutes for the drink order. By this time I was plenty hungry, and was disappointed with the Cuban sandwich. It's basically a toasted ham sandwich, nothing particularly unique about it. Given the hassles just getting the meal entailed, not a great experience.

Therefore, this gets a long wait for breakfast/brunch. It's hard to get a parking spot but there's free parking across the street.

I got the burrito smothered with sauce and cheese and the flavor was fantastic. Flavorful but not super spicy or anything. It's also HUGE. Highly recommend. Service is a little questionable, if it was quicker they could probably help with their long wait. It was hard to flag down our girl when we needed something & it took ages to get to check.

The service showed a real lack of knowledge and attentiveness. When I ordered whole milk for my coffee, the response was essentially "is half and half okay?" -- no, it is absolutely not okay. These are completely different in taste and calories, and it's not a reasonable substitute to casually suggest. What made it worse: oat milk, almond milk, and whole milk were all visibly sitting in the fridge right there from where I was seated at the bar. Zero effort to offer what was clearly available. The atmosphere didn't help either. The space feels like someone started building a café concept and never finished thinking it through. It's uninviting, disorganized, and oddly off -- not warm, not designed with the customer in mind. Nothing about the food, the presentation, or the space gives you a reason to choose this place over anywhere else. Not particularly tasty, not nicely decorated, not a vibe. Not sure what keeps people coming back, honestly.
