I simply love driving (or walking) down this street. I have stopped to take pictures here and there…read morequite a few times. Of course, a few times we've just walked the length to appreciate Mother Nature's work. Pictures can't replace seeing "this" in person. Sometimes I go out of my way near sunset to drive down this street because the filtered sun through the trees makes the area look absolutely beautiful. The oak trees create a natural arch that gives you a feeling that you are driving through a tunnel and it is beautiful no matter where you enter. To me, this is one of the highlights of St. Augustine and it's just a street! The best part is...it's natural and it's free. It is one of the most photographed streets in the USA...and it's considered to be one of the most beautiful streets in the USA! WHOA! Both are completely understandable. If you are visiting St. Augustine and have been on the Trolley, then I'm sure you are aware of this street since they take you down it and tell you about it. Unfortunately, I see tourists caught up in visiting the Fountain of Youth and other things in that area and disregard the street. This is sad to me and they don't even know what they are missing. If you are planning a trip to this area...put this street on your list of things to see. If you are local (or fairly local) and haven't been down this street...now you have something else to do!

Magnolia street is quite possibly the prettiest street I've seen. The street is lined with a tree…read morecanopy near The Fountain of Youth in St. Augustine. We stopped and parked at the Fountain of Juice to take photos of the street before going into the Fountain of Youth.

"Holy shitballs..." was all I could think as I strolled through row after row of food trucks (43…read moretotal...yes, 43) that were competing in this years Food Truck Wars. Coming from all over Florida, they were throwing down everything imaginable, from gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches to gourmet alligator to gourmet jambalaya...and don't even get me started on the desserts. Yes...it was nothing less than a Yelpers wet dream, and I'm so ecstatic to have been a part of it! Entree: I was practically jumping for joy when I found a food truck serving up fresh arepas (Apps Food Truck), since I'm a huge fan of the ones served at Tres Leches in Riverside. I went with the "Arepas Con Choclo," which consisted of melted white queso between two corn cakes and topped with pieces of thick cut bacon. It proved a very wise choice because it was absolutely divine. Made fresh to order, the saltiness and crunch from the bacon paired wonderfully with the hint of sweet from the corn cakes, with the bubbly cheese as the kicker. These arepas were also considerably larger than the ones at Tres Leches and cheaper at $5 a plate. Dessert: The day was hot and humid, so I was in the market for some light frosty refreshment....not that I wasn't tempted by the vast selection of other offerings, such as "apple pie pops" and "funnel cake sundaes." The Sweet City Gelato truck had a sign in their window that they were the "Delectable Dessert" winner from their last competition in May. I ordered a cup with 2 flavors, tiramisu and pistachio. With just the FIRST taste of this heavenly concoction I knew they'd be a shoo-in for the "dessert" category finals...if not the clear-cut winner overall. Now, I've had more than my fair share of gelato encounters, but NOTHING as creamy 'n' dreamy as Sweet City. Fresh, flavorful, not the least bit artificial tasting...I honestly couldn't have asked for better. Wrap Up: I thoroughly enjoyed this years event, especially since I was hanging out with some cool people at the Yelp station! A very big thank you to CM Allie A. and Mr. Yelp Adam for being awesome representatives to the public and gracious hosts to us Yeeps! Can't wait for next year, SUPPORT your local food trucks, and two thumbs way up for Food Truck Wars 2013! Yayyyyy for my 50th review on Yelp!

This was my first ever yelp event that I've had the pleasure of attending, and when I tell you I…read morehad a BLAST. I had an absolute freaking ball, all courtesy of Allie A, definitely makes it worth being a Yelp member. Needless to say there were trucks upon trucks to choose from, an all out war indeed! Dishes from Pollo sticks, Lobster Rolls, Flan, and all the desserts you could desire were presented at this event; if you didn't get a chance to attend, I highly recommend you check out the next upcoming events! Keep them coming Yelp! 5/5

Off the main streets is Charlotte street. Nice to use to get around via the "back streets" Our…read moreroom at the Casablanca was closed n Charlotte street. Great to sit and have a martini while people watching. The side walks get narrow in places and sometimes the garbage cans are also on the sidewalk competing with walking space. Plenty of places to visit and a fun "behind the scenes locations".

Charlotte Street is a little less well-known than streets like Saint George and Aviles Streets…read more However, it was an important part of the historic area of downtown St Augustine and remains one of the main streets today. Recently in 2017, on a portion of Charlotte Street, human remains were found during a water line excavation. From what I understand, these people go back to the original settlers who came with Pedro Menéndez in 1565. This is only one of many excavation examples in St Augustine in general. However, when you walk the street today and enjoy the beauty of the buildings and the street itself...it makes you wonder about the history of it no matter what portion you are on. As the saying goes, "If these streets could talk..." Today, you will find that this street is a little less traveled than other historic streets in St Augustine. It is just as beautiful and scenic...and probably even more so since you don't have as much foot traffic. Also, keep in mind that it is sort of split by the Plaza de la Constitución. There are wonderful restaurants on this historic street, in addition to beautiful private residences with architecture that is free to view (from the outside of course). Moreover, there are other businesses like a museum, bars, Hyppo, an art gallery, bed & breakfasts, and various shops to name a few. There is street parking on Charlotte Street in addition to a few private parking lots as well. Plus, it is within walking distance of the fort and the parking garage. Of course, there is street parking all over St. Augustine as well nearby. For those of you who have not checked out Charlotte Street or never heard of it...check it out! You won't be disappointed.

Getting this activity 'on the books' was more than aggravating, to say the least. The tasting tour…read moresays that to text them is a quicker option for response to inquiries (for them.) It most definitely didn't seem that way! They DID get back to me via text, but it wasn't in a quick fashion. I'd say an semi-acceptable fashion (within 8-12 hours.) Regardless, we DID get our event scheduled for a private tour with (15 people.) It was quite an expensive 'private tour' of the night of lights that was explained to me as tho the grinch (driving one trolly) and Santa (driving another trolly) would interact with one another (more than minimally) and make the tour exclusive to all 15 of us. They would hop off one trolly and interact with the passengers of the other trolly, etc. In reality, it was NOT a collective tour. The grinch separated from the other trolly and it was essentially two separate tours. Approximately 3-4 times they interacted with one another (acting as tho one would hit the other's trolly, yelling insults at Santa, responding to the grinch, and stopping at the 'duck bar' for the ambush together.) The address to initially meet at is kind of hard to find, even with GPS, as well! There is NO indication of 'the tasting tours' business name on the store front at the address. It is a Cuban bakery.' YES, we all had a good time.... But I don't want the rest of you that book a 'private' tour to be mislead or pay for something you won't receive. *** I also find it distasteful that the company charges an unprecedented amount of money for the trolly rides and then has the audacity to send an email asking for further tip for the trolly drivers.*** Whether a patron tips or not is up to them, not a business owner requesting it!

Went on a Night if Lights carriage ride with Tasting Tours. Our driver was Carly and the horse was…read moreFred. We were given a bottle of white wine and a bottle of red for 4 people. The ride was outstanding and the driver, Carly, was very knowledgeable and entertaining. Have done Tasting Tours several times before and lived all of them. Wonderful time!

Five stars doesn't even come close to describing this wonderful bakery experience…read more I am from a large family who love to gather over food and fun. The first time we had a cake from Creme de la Cocoa, it was lemon blueberry for my Mom's birthday. From then on, "good enough" wouldn't do. The cakes from this boutique bakery are exquisite works of art that taste absolutely divine. We've had vanilla cake with white chocolate between the layers and fresh strawberries for Easter, exquisitely decorated with whipped cream frosting and fresh spring flowers, a birthday cake for my mother that said HAPPY BIRTHDAY HURRICANE PEGGY with a hurricane and warning markers bc her birthday is the first day of hurricane season that was Florida Native, featuring summer fruits and orange zest in the frosting, and the latest for Labor Day that will be a classic carrot cake with cream cheese frosting and Fall decor that will say HAPPY FALL, Y'ALL! We've had their French macarons in every color and flavor, their charcuterie box for my husband's birthday which featured sweets of every kind in white and dark chocolate, and their homemade cinnamon rolls for breakfast. All were exceptional tasting and beautiful in their artistry. Creme de la Cocoa is where perfection in design and flavor are an every day adventure. And the customer comes second only to the quality of their decadent delights.

My bf and I stopped at Crème de la Cocoa for an after lunch snack. It was highly rated and I'm so…read moreglad we did!! We each ordered a Chocolate Chip cookie sandwiched with chocolate buttercream, along with a chocolate and praline cake that we split. Everything was delicious! I loved both desserts! The chocolate and praline cake was definitely the winner. The place itself is lovely and has a beautiful atmosphere, making it a nice spot to stop in for something sweet. The only reason I'm giving four stars instead of five is the service. It was average, and for me, personality and a warm greeting really make a difference in the overall experience. The desserts were wonderful, but I would have loved a little more warmth and friendliness from the staff!
