    Lobster Benedict
    Brianna R.

    I stopped by Connolly's this morning for breakfast and was thoroughly impressed. I'm just visiting the area, so I've never been. My server, Robin, was super sweet and confirmed that my decision to order the lobster benedict was indeed a good one. In addition to the options on the menu, they also had a handful of specials available. The lobster benedict was excellent. The sauce was rich but not overwhelming and just overall delicious. I also really enjoyed the ambiance. It was somewhat industrial but also super cozy.

    their hot sauce was incredible.

    We tried this cute breakfast spot in St Augustine and it was very good. Prices were reasonable and the staff was very friendly. It is a bright place on the inside with a lot of choices on the menu. We tried the eggs Benedict, create your own omelette, veggie omelette, and a breakfast combo with bacon. Tea and juice were very reasonably priced as well, and all the food portions were quite large. We were heading to the St Augustine Lighthouse and we were full for several hours while there. This is a great spot for breakfast or brunch. They close early so get in by lunchtime if you want to try them!

    Had a fantastic Ladies lunch here today! Service was excellent! Food was great quality and tasty. Everyone enjoyed their meal and said they'd return! Clean bathrooms. Owner, Trish stopped by and chatted with us too! Highly recommend.

    Gluten free French toast and pork roll
    Amy P.

    Yum! Seriously so happy to find a breakfast place that has not only gluten free pancakes but GLUTEN FREE FRENCH TOAST AND WAFFLES!!!! Clyde was our server and did a great job! They have real maple syrup (just ask for it). The gf French toast was absolutely delicious!! The gluten eater in the group enjoyed French toast as well. Super cute place, terrific service and delicious food. Well worth the drive!

    Special order chocolate chip pancake. Yum!

    Had to check out of our beach condo by 10 am so we decided to grab breakfast here on our way out of town. Inside had cute diner decor with outside seating available as well. Our party of seven was seated immediately. Staff were friendly and the service was quick. Breakfast menu had both sweet and savory choices. Kids went with a chocolate chip pancake and French toast served with the most perfectly crisped bacon. I had a breakfast sandwich with absolutely delicious toasted potatoes on the side. Everything hit the spot.

    Excellent place for breakfast! Small family owned place and they put their heart and soul into every part of the business. Andrew was our server again and he was superb!

    Veggie omelet
    Stephanie S.

    Amazing hearty breakfast. Veggie omelette was loaded. Grits (not pictured) were the perfect consistency. Pancakes were scrumptious, soft with crispy edges. I'd come back here any day of the week! Great quick service.

    Excellent service, food was a miss today due to staff shortage. It was a fun and enjoyable environment. Our food took about 50 minutes to come out of the kitchen. We waited and asked the server several times. I believe there was 1 cook today and others called out of work. The restaurant was filled with lots of people enjoying St. Patrick's Day here. There was live music and all the staff were dressed to celebrate. Unfortunately, half the food on each plate was overcooked or burnt. The other half was good. I would have gave less stars but the service was so good and everyone was so friendly. I hope if we come back we would get to enjoy this restaurant at its best.

    Veggie omelette, avocado toast on sourdough

    Stopped in to Connolly's for breakfast and was blown away. Really cute spot that was not at all what I expected. Great food, nice and airy interior, friendly waitstaff. Chris took care of us and did a great job of helping us to navigate the menu and making sure we had our drinks refilled. Pros: Varied menu with a number of healthy and vegetarian options, but also less healthy options if you're looking for something sweet (like cherry pie French toast) or something savory (like wings!). Service is good and the food comes out fast. You can bring your dog and sit outside! Cons: It can get crowded, so be prepared to wait or sit at the bar or outside on a busy Sunday.

    Hard to recommend this one. The food is basic breakfast at above-average prices, and nothing on the…read moreplate justifies the markup -- the biscuits were dry enough that we needed to ask for gravy mid-meal, and even that simple request got deprioritized while our server chatted with other customers. The service showed a real lack of knowledge and attentiveness. When I ordered whole milk for my coffee, the response was essentially "is half and half okay?" -- no, it is absolutely not okay. These are completely different in taste and calories, and it's not a reasonable substitute to casually suggest. What made it worse: oat milk, almond milk, and whole milk were all visibly sitting in the fridge right there from where I was seated at the bar. Zero effort to offer what was clearly available. The atmosphere didn't help either. The space feels like someone started building a café concept and never finished thinking it through. It's uninviting, disorganized, and oddly off -- not warm, not designed with the customer in mind. Nothing about the food, the presentation, or the space gives you a reason to choose this place over anywhere else. Not particularly tasty, not nicely decorated, not a vibe. Not sure what keeps people coming back, honestly.

    Very very long wait on a weekend. They don't do reservations or call aheads. We arrived at 9:45 and…read morehad to wait about an hour for our table for 6 people. The staff were very kind and attentive to our needs like coffee refills! I like that the coffees had unlimited refills (iced coffee and a hot drip coffee were the coffee options). I ordered the breakfast burrito with the additions of the pork sausage, red chili sauce, cheese, and scallions. It was very good! It did come out a bit cold so I think it may have been sitting for a little while on the window. My friend's Zada Jane's stack was pretty good as well. The sweet potatoes were cooked perfectly and the frittata hit the spot. I wasn't a fan of the peach butter for the biscuit but we definitely could've asked for a different type of butter but chose not to. I don't think the food was worth waiting one hour to just be seated, but it was a good breakfast :)

    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.

When I arrived with my pregnant wife and my service dog, he asked somewhat curtly if it was a service dog. After I confirmed and thanked him, he rudely placed the menu on the table, turned around without saying another word or showing any basic courtesy, and just walked away with his back to us. It was a pretty cold and uncomfortable welcome. That said, the restaurant is absolutely charming. I really loved the interior ambiance--it's cozy, well-decorated, and has a very pleasant vibe. The food was extremely delicious. We ordered the Half Pound Ice Plant Burger and it was juicy, fresh, and packed with flavor. You could taste the quality in every single bite--the meat was perfect, the ingredients fresh, and everything very well balanced. Definitely one of the best burgers I've had recently. Despite the initial host experience, I would return without hesitation for the food and the atmosphere. Highly recommended, but they could improve the initial greeting.

However, on our trip it was too cold to dine outside. We were seated at a large table inside that accommodated our large group. They had several tables inside, but I could see on a busy Sunday or Saturday morning this place would get waitlisted quickly. Everyone loved their meals. No complaints. I ordered the lobster roll. It was very good, but I would try something different on a return visit. The salads coming out looked amazing! Everyone at my table raved about their meals: Shukshuka, BALT, Benedicts, cinnamon rolls. Every single thing was enjoyed!

BUT the food... thats where this place absolutley shines. The Arepas Special with the corn pancakes filled with eggs, avocado and tomatoes was an absolute BEAST. Fresh, flavorful and super satisfying. Then the Avocado Toast with the sweet pumkin pieces just blew the rest of our taste buds out the window.
