If you come out after a hard day of shopping at Bass Peo Shop and need a sweet treat, definitely check out this place. Just two minutes away near World Golf Village, the Turtle can meet your sweet needs. We had the Turtle Club in small size and it was more than enough: packed with real ice cream, thick chocolate topping and big pecans. It was creamy, gooey , crunchy, and just yummy. But if that isn't enough, they top it with a turtle cookie! Seating is limited to a few tables and a bar inside with a couple of tables outside. Service is friendly and quick. You can even watch your treats being made. read more

Absolute best custard I've ever had. They have so many options of sundaes, it's unreal. This is my second time here and I drove 30 min out of the way to come this time. First time I had the Cherry Lee Lewis which was delicious. This time, I had the White Chocolate Raspberry, which is one of their specials. It wasn't as good as the Cherry, but the custard was still delicious. The owners have always been super nice. Highly recommend. read more

This was one of the first stops we made when we were in St Augustine. They have tons of options of sundaes here. I'm happy the even had a really small version bc I didn't want too much yet my husband wanted his own and he didn't want to share. We both enjoyed our sundaes and there's def a flavor for everyone. The service was ok. And the ambiance had a huge coastal mural on the wall and cute blue aqua light pendants. read more

In response to the business owners comment: The classic 'use a spoon' solution -- truly the gold standard in customer care. Apparently, $10 gets you a milkshake and passive aggressive lesson in utensil use. I was all for chocolate chips, just not an avalanche -- when a third of the cup is solid mix-ins, it stops being a drink. Also, just because the high price is listed doesn't make it reasonable. read more

This place is outstanding! It was recommended to us and I am very happy that we had an opportunity to try it! Walking in, the place was immaculately clean. There were pictures all around the place that had examples of what their ice creams looked like! Furthermore the staff there was so nice. They were really informative and knowledgeable about their products. The love and pride that they had for their products really showed. I dont blame them since they make everything in house and everything I had was delicious! The ice cream itself was outstanding. I'm both glad (for my weight) and sad (for the taste) that I dont live closer. If I did, I'd be a regular there! I got the cheesecake (turtle style) Sunday and it was outstanding read more

Twisted Turtle Creamery near Golf Village, St. Augustine. Omg!! I had to visit my favorite frozen custard shop on my first day back to St Augustine. So many choices--what to choose? Everything is so delicious sounding. It wasn't on the menu, but they made me the Lemon Meringue Sundae that I had there before. It was like being in 7th heaven! Definitely worth a visit!!

Fun little find in a random strip mall. I love that you can turn any sundae into a milkshake. I got the butter pecan milkshake with bourbon whipped cream. The whipped cream had more of a kick than I was expecting. They are a custard shop and not an ice cream shop but it's very thick and creamy and has tons of flavor. read more

I had heard about this place from my parents who live nearby. I was in town for a long weekend that happened to coincide with national ice cream sandwich day. Twisted Turtle Creamery was offering a BOGO (buy one get one) ice cream sandwich deal. So we decided to pick some up for dessert. The shop is bright and the staff is friendly and welcoming. The cookies were homemade and the ice cream was creamy and delicious. We split each of the sandwiches into three so we could try some of each flavor. We had snickerdoodle cookies with vanilla ice cream and a chocolate cookie with chocolate ice cream. Both were outstanding. The cookies were soft and flavorful and the ice cream didn't melt too fast while we were indulging. I can see why my parents have raved about Twisted Turtle Creamery and will definitely consider returning the next time I'm visiting. read more

A love story: Oh so rarely do we stumble upon a hidden gem that we forget how soft the unicorns mane really is. In short; this place is absolutely fabulous! So many components needed to form such an experience. The husband behind the counter spinning a tale of how they all played a role in building their dream while putting together orders and explaining their menu options to customers . His wife working passionately to fill them, not cutting ANY corners in the process ( I literally watched her stop what she was doing to prepare fresh whipped cream) I had a quick flashback of sitting in my grandmother's kitchen watching her while she prepared us banana splits when we were kids.Their daughter; a Chef who clearly understands that quality and consistency are essential in producing a lasting brand. (they prepare nearly everything in house) clearly thought out flavor profiles and texture variations that work and complement each other really well. Their homemade custard was perfect in both consistency and flavor. Then executed perfectly to the menu description. Dang, someone pinch my cheek. During my tenor as an executive Chef and instructor at a culinary school this is literally what we taught and strived for, who we supported and who we were proud of. They hit it on every level. This place is an absolute MUST try. If they can maintain their consistency and keep pace it will be the best spot in town without really any competition. They have my business,and if you try them they will most likely have yours too. Thank you for strumming on some of my heart strings. You made my day read more

The Ice Plant

My wife and I have visited The Ice Plant several times over the years, and it remains one of our…read morefavorite dining destinations in St. Augustine. The combination of imaginative cocktails, exceptional food, and a unique atmosphere makes every visit memorable. The cocktail program is outstanding. We enjoy trying a variety of their exotic and inventive drinks, and they never disappoint. The flavors are bold, creative, and unlike anything you'll find at a typical restaurant bar. The Yellow Submarine cocktail is quite possibly the best drink I have ever consumed. Made with curry-infused Bermuda black rum, lime, ginger, and Asian five-spice brown sugar syrup, it sounded unusual on paper but came together beautifully. I enjoyed it so much that I ordered four of them that evening, something I rarely do. That was three years ago, and despite returning several times since then, I have never seen it on the menu again. The food is equally impressive. Two years ago, I ordered the Skillet Roasted New York Strip served with Yukon Gold potato-anna, roasted asparagus and spring onions, watercress, and black truffle hollandaise. To this day, it remains one of the top five restaurant meals I have ever eaten. Every component on the plate was exceptional. The steak was perfectly prepared, the crispy potato galette was irresistible, and the black truffle hollandaise elevated the entire dish to another level. It was the kind of meal that stays with you long after the plate is cleared. I would gladly drive 300 miles just to eat it again. Most recently, I had the wild mushroom bisque, and it was the best soup I have ever consumed. Rich, creamy, buttery, intensely mushroomy, and perfectly balanced, it was everything a mushroom soup should be. The addition of crispy pickled onions and crème fraîche added texture and contrast that made an already outstanding soup even better. My wife and I enjoyed it so much that we returned the very next day hoping to order it again, only to discover it had already rotated off the menu. My only complaint about The Ice Plant is that some of their greatest creations seem to disappear as quickly as they arrive. While I appreciate the constantly evolving menu and understand that seasonal changes are part of what makes the restaurant special, there are certain items that deserve a permanent home. The Yellow Submarine cocktail, the wild mushroom bisque, and the Skillet Roasted New York Strip with black truffle hollandaise are three of the finest things I have experienced there. The fact that I can vividly remember one of these items from three years ago and another from two years ago says everything. Great restaurants serve good food. Truly special restaurants create dishes and drinks that stay with you for years. The Ice Plant has done that for me more than once, and that is why we continue to return whenever we visit St. Augustine.

The Ice Plant is one of those places where the experience starts before you ever take a bite of…read morefood. The decor fits St. Augustine perfectly. Antique, rustic, comfortable, and full of enough character that you almost feel like you've stepped 200 years back in time. Then the drinks arrive, and suddenly you realize you've been transported into the future of cocktails. I wish I could remember the name of the drink I ordered because it was spectacular. Whiskey, a little sweetness, mint, and crushed ice. That's about all I can tell you. What I can tell you is that I could have happily consumed about 30 of them, tumbled down the stairs, and been perfectly happy about the whole experience. My wife went with the Mojito, and it was brilliantly constructed. The crushed ice and layered mint made it look almost too good to drink. Almost. The drinks absolutely deserve five stars. Then came the blue crab beignets, and they were spectacular. That's the kind of appetizer that makes you stop talking for a minute because everyone at the table is too busy enjoying what's happening. Unfortunately, the rest of the food didn't quite live up to the cocktails. The fish dip was very average and lacked much flavor, and the menu itself felt pretty limited. So here's the deal: if you're coming to The Ice Plant for drinks, I would have no problem giving it five stars. The cocktails are that good. This is a highly recommended stop for a drink in St. Augustine. But I have to review the entire experience, and the limited menu and average fish dip bring the overall experience down a notch. Four stars. Come for the drinks. Stay for the atmosphere. Definitely order the blue crab beignets. And if you happen to find yourself three cocktails deep, admiring the antique decor while contemplating the stairs, maybe just take your time.

The one complication of the line is that it made it hard to see all the flavor choices with your view blocked. We ended up choosing Triple Vanilla(My wife) and Espresso Chip for me. The few tables inside were taken so we enjoyed our choices outside in the sun. This ice cream was excellent, not your run-of-the-mill typical ice cream. It's advertised as small batch ice cream made with premium ingredients and that's exactly how it tastes. As a sweet tooth satisfier it definitely hit the spot!

Pilot with Triple Vanilla and Parent Trap!

The shop is adorably set up. We walked in on a father and son playing a game of connect four on their wall, and walked out to a small family sitting on the outside bench just chatting. So homey and sweet. But right alongside the great ice cream- major shoutout to the patient and amazing staff. We sampled over 6 flavors with no judgment haha...ended on two orders.

The staff is always so friendly and welcoming, and they're more than happy to answer any questions or let you sample a flavor or two before you commit. That extra touch really makes the whole experience even sweeter! My go-to order is either a waffle cone or a waffle bowl (depending on the mood ) with their coconut chocolate almond ice cream -- it's rich, creamy, and loaded with flavor. Absolutely obsessed. Whether you're visiting from out of town or a local looking to beat the heat, The Scoop is always worth a visit!

The establishment offers on-street parking directly in front, which is convenient; however, spaces can be limited, so I recommend arriving early to secure a spot. The interior is spacious and well-appointed, and the staff were consistently courteous and professional. I ordered the cinnamon coffee and found it excellent--robust, well-balanced, and flavorful, not diluted as is unfortunately common at some other cafés. The quality and care in preparation were evident. Overall, The KOOKABURRA is a delightful and ethically run café. I plan to return and would recommend it to others seeking a welcoming atmosphere and a reliably good cup of coffee.
