I stopped by this morning, and the outside of the shop is absolutely adorable. There's a decent amount of parking, and the whole place feels very welcoming from the moment you arrive. The menu has a great variety beyond just coffee, including flavored milk, Italian-style sodas, chai, and more, so there's something for everyone. They also had pastries and desserts available, although there weren't many left when I visited around 10:00 a.m. I'm not sure if they had already sold out or just make smaller batches, but everything looked delicious--especially the classic cinnamon roll. I'm definitely regretting not grabbing one! I ordered an iced Coconut Caramel Latte with almond milk. They only offer one size (16 oz.) for iced coffee, which was perfectly fine for me. The cashier was kind and welcoming, and although our interaction was brief, she was very sweet. The coffee itself was good! I think next time I'd probably try a different flavor combination, as coconut and caramel wasn't quite my favorite. My sister ordered their specialty latte called the "River" (butterscotch and honey), and after trying it, I have to say it was incredible. That drink completely won me over, so based on the quality of the coffee itself, I'd definitely come back. The inside of the shop is just as charming as the outside. It has a modern, beach-inspired vibe with bright, cheerful colors. I also loved the Bible verses displayed throughout the shop--they were such a thoughtful touch and added to the warm atmosphere. There was plenty of seating with comfy chairs, couches, and tables, making it a great place to relax, catch up with friends, or get some work done. Overall, Island Espresso is a cute, welcoming coffee shop with great drinks and a cozy atmosphere. If you're in St. George, it's definitely worth stopping by!

I didn't pay attention to the price. I know, I know... even Starbucks prices are outta hand but Island Espresso is a bit more expensive. $8 for a 'regular' size. It was the first time I thought, is this even coffee/espresso anymore? Plus it was just a bit sweeter than I expected but it had several different things going on. I don't remember if there's much difference in basic lattes, either. But given that they do offer more than just coffee/lattes. I do encourage others to give them a try!!

Old Time Soda Fountain - Apalachicola, FL…read more Located in a 1905 building with fixtures and a countertop dating back to the early 1960s, Old Time Soda Fountain is one of those spots that hasn't changed much in decades -- and that's part of the charm. It's a Blue Bell ice cream shop that normally serves sodas, floats, and malts from a classic fountain setup. When we visited, they weren't serving anything from the soda fountain due to the local water issue. Still, we ordered a chocolate and coffee malted, and it was excellent -- creamy, rich, and immediately familiar. It reminded me of the kind of treat I'd get with my grandfather at a neighborhood candy store or luncheonette growing up. Inside, the shop is a mix of ice cream counter, candy store, and gift shop. They sell shell collections, coconut patties, Florida-themed candy boxes, dog treats, and tourist Aplachicola T-shirts ($28 each). It's a quick, fun stop that gives you a glimpse of old-school small-town Florida. No frills -- just good ice cream and a little nostalgia.
