    husband found this place for breakfast, it's nearby to our hotel. The doco inside is very nice, modern and classy. The menu is extensive, be prepared for a lot of reading to do. I ordered their steak taco and husband got their simple egg breakfast. Wow, the presentation of the food on a board is impressive! Make food tastes better! love this place, so we decided to come back again tomorrow to try more item. And the chef Mo came to our table and very friendly! It's definitely a place you will want to repeat!

    If I could give them 10 out of five stars, I would. I want to give a big shout out to the owner, Mo. She was so kind and welcoming, and ensures that her staff are too. I truly enjoyed this spot and I would say that if I'm in town again, I would come back! I highly recommend it because I enjoyed the food, the vibes, the music, and the ambience was perfect. I really like the concept of the brunch board as well. What a beautiful venue in downtown Saint Augustine. Below is my rating of the food we ordered: *Empanadas: 5/5 *French Toast Sticks: 5/5 *Egg, cheese, & sausage croissant: 5/5 *Orange Juice Mimosa: 5/5 I came back for the Sunday Brunch Buffet and I was NOT disappointed. Delicious food w/ excellent service. Mo and the waitstaff were still so kind (insert big heart here).

    This was such a wonderful find! The atmosphere is great, very relaxing. The service was wonderful and the food was amazing!! The cheese grits are absolutely the best grits I've ever had - with 6 of us in our party we were able to share them, as well as the Bruncharcuterie boards we had (honeyed brie, zesty pimento and the cinnamon sugar trio). We enjoyed it so much we went back a second time and we were greeted by the owner and treated like old friends! We tried some different menu items (though we had to get those grits again!!) and everything was fantastic! If you are looking for a nice breakfast place in St A you need to go here; it was fantastic and it will be a regular stop every time I'm in St A.

    A very interesting experience! The food was great but the service was meh. My friend has a gluten allergy so she had to send back her hummus (it had crackers) but it took like 15 min for the hummus to come out. I guess the chickpeas take some time to mash up. Also there were many open tables but the wait was 30 min to get a table. I liked that they offered the menu on little tablets and I liked the inside decor of the restaurant.

    Excellent service and Excellent food. The food is served on a display board that allows sharing of the savory and the sweet.

    This place is SUCH an upgrade from the old location! The restaurant is spacious, full of awesome decor, a huge wine cellar, and beautiful bar! I absolutely love this place!! Their brunch breakfast boards are tasty and reasonably priced for being in the middle of St Augustine. We also got their coffees, which were pretty tasty. Our server was absolutely hilarious and made the experience so much more enjoyable! And their menus are electronic and so cool! I was so impressed with this new place and the food was great! I would definitely recommend for brunch and drinks!!

    Yum

    Ham and cheese croissant and french toast. 10/10

    Visited St. Augustine and found this gem by pure luck. I tried other "recommended" places around the small town, yet this one had the best food. I tried the French toast, and my partner tried the ham and cheese croissant, they were pretty tasty and both came in one long board (charcuterie board style) which made it easy to share. Have brunch and/or breakfast here over the other "popular" spots. Also service was amazing, but it was the same anywhere we went. Lastly, you can take cute pictures because the place has a nice clean ambience aesthetic.

    Came here for brunch with my husband. Lovely restaurant. Food is served on wood boards and messages written on them. Service was very good our server was very funny. I ordered the French toast and sausage, and my husband ordered the steak and eggs. Our orders came combined in one board. Individual boards would have been cuter, I think. My French toast was a letdown. Tasted like toast with cinnamon Sprinkleed on it, and it was kinda cold. It didn't seem to be dipped in custard as I'm accustomed to. Big womp. My husband's steak eggs and potatoes were perfectly cooked and generous portion. I had a nice experience and glad I came. I would recommend this restaurant. And I'll order something different next time I visit.

    Passing through the town and saw this place on tik tok had good brunch. We ordered eggs potatoes, bacon, croissant sandwich, and pancakes. The food was delicious. The food did take a while to make and there were only one other table there so not sure why food took so long. Otherwise such a cute little place to grab a bite if you're hungry!

    Our first time stepping into Ancient City Brunch Bar in the heart of historic Saint Augustine didn't disappoint. From the moment you walk in, its cozy yet modern atmosphere, and had a welcoming vibe. Whether you're craving sweet or savory, there's something to satisfy every palate.The brunch board is a must-try, with delicious quiche, waffles topped with fruit, croissants, brie, crispy bacon, and empanadas.The staff is friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. Whether you're a local or just passing through Saint Augustine, be sure to add this brunch spot to your must-visit list.

    Do they take reservations?

    No, it is walk in. First come first serve. If going on a weekend I'd suggest get there when they first open. It gets packed, and seating inside is very limited.

A huge shoutout to our tour guide, Daven, who was incredibly patient with our energetic group and made the experience even better. He was so knowledgeable and shared tons of fun facts about the capybaras that kept the girls engaged the entire time. You can tell he truly enjoys what he does! 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!

Upon arrival, the check-in process was seamless, and the staff was incredibly welcoming. While waiting for our session, we spent time in a designated area with several charming animals, including rabbits, miniature goats, and ferrets. Once our time slot began, we were guided to the back in two small groups. We spent the first 30 minutes learning about and interacting with the capybaras, followed by a transition to a second room to meet a lemur and a wallaby. Overall, this was an amazing experience. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and kept the schedule running smoothly. This is a must-do activity in St. Augustine, and we look forward to visiting again soon.

It was smooth, cozy, and somehow tasted like a hug but also woke me up like I had responsibilities. This was much needed after we landed from cold Chicago, like "hey girl"! Perfect balance of flavor and caffeine, not overly sweet, and actually tasted like real coffee (which is rare these days). If you're in St. Augustine, do yourself a favor and stop here, you'll leave caffeinated, happy, and maybe a little motivated as well!

Not only did I find delicious coffee and beautiful local art - which is what you'd expect and hope to find given the name - but fresh, homemade breakfast/lunch options and some of the most genuine, sweet people who remember their regulars and truly appreciate customer loyalty, which is far too rare in the service industry these days. In 3 years, I've had only great food and coffee here, but it's the warm, thoughtful, human element that has kept me coming back and will keep me coming for years to come. Thank you, Mike and the Sweetwater crew! *A note for my fellow wheeled peops: It's small, depending on the type of chair you have, and may require deft maneuvering but there is an accessible entrance in the back between Chase bank and the Villa Zorayda museum. If you need help getting in, call. They will all help, without hesitation. Don't miss out on an amazing experience.
