    They stopped me walking by on my birthday to give me free ice cream and a shot glass. We've come back everytime since and they have the best service. The owners are so sweet and the ice cream is the best!

    Right off the strip in downtown St. Augustine is a little hole-in-the-wall ice cream shop. The Sweet Spot was one of the first places I ever tried a gourmet milkshake. The toppings were fun but so much we couldn't finish it. It also melted very quickly in the Florida heat. People say it is overpriced, but you get to keep the mug!

    Milk & Cookies ice cream, it's delicious and absolutely huge for 2.  Plus you keep the cool mug, 5 star!

    Absolutely delicious ice cream!!! I had milk & Cookies, that came in a really cool glass mug you get to keep. All sorts of treats with the ice cream and worth every nibble on a hot summer day.

    Delicious!.... just delicious!... so much fun!... my kids, my husband and I enjoyed every spoon. A sugars delight, it was not overwhelming which allowed to enjoy it till the end. Well served indeed. Located in a lovely area of the town, where we enjoyed a walk. Definitely worth the stop.

    They do not know how to make milkshakes. We ordered a super milkshake and a regular milkshake. Both were poorly executed and and lacked the consistency of a milkshake. Person behind the counter even asked "How do you make a milkshake?" We will not be returning.

    We were so tempted by their ice cream sundaes advertised outside served in Mason jars, so we went inside and ordered one, with their Dark Chocolate Raspberry Truffle ice cream. Gazing in the ice cream case, and pretty much a chocoholic, my eyes zoomed right in on that seriously deep dark chocolate color, and I looked no further. The rim of the frozen Mason jar was covered in rainbow sprinkles, the jar filled with 4 or 5 scoops of ice cream, and topped so whimsically with whipped cream, a pirouette, chocolate twixts, and a mini iced cupcake on a stick. It was really good, and big enough to share, and definitely a cool creation.

    See all

    Had a chocolate shake. It tasted like plastic, I thought it might be the straw or cup. Not sure but it was disgusting.

    The price is high and the ice cream lacks flavor. There are many other shops to get good tasting ice cream. This was not one of them.

    Do they happen to have plant based options?

    They have dairy-free chocolate chip. I had it, and it was good, albeit severely overpriced.

    The milk shakes are standard, the fudge not quite on par, but the ice cream we had was pretty yum.

    A Must-Visit Cheesecake & Wine Tasting in St. Augustine!…read more What an absolute gem! This small, quaint spot in St. Augustine made our cheesecake and wine tasting such a memorable experience. The staff was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable, which made the whole experience feel personal and relaxed. The cheesecakes were phenomenal -- truly some of the best I've ever had. My two favorites were the blueberry crumble and the lemon chantillí, but honestly, every single one we tried was delicious. Perfect texture, amazing flavors, and beautifully presented. If you're in St. Augustine and love cheesecake, wine, or just discovering charming local places, this is a must-try. Can't wait to come back!

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.

I ordered two glasses of Prosecco and she informs me that they are out of Prosecco. What!? I then order a can of IPA and a glass of white wine for my gf, which took way too long to get. Plus my beer wasn't even that cold and her wine wasn't good either. I asked about the cheese tray + wine and she looked confused. I asked her what cheeses came on it and she said she didn't know, but she'd find out, but never did. lol. I came here prepared to buy a bottle of Prosecco and a cheese tray to sit outside and enjoy with my gf but that didn't happen. If you are working at a place you should know the couple things that you do serve and know them very well. There also wasn't any clean glasses for the spa water. The deserts did look good but god forbid I asked either of them a question about them because they would have looked at me befuddled. I highly doubt I'll ever come back here again. Good luck with your questions and selections.

The cake pop was really the only item that drew praise from my crew. Breakfast croissants were "mid" per my teens... I now know what an overdone eggs tastes like.
