We decided to try this place for breakfast since it is across the street from Days Inn, and we had already tried Denny's. This is not a table service place. You order at the register, they give you a number, and they bring your order to you. One thing that is deceptive is that they fail to tell you until you pay and review your receipt that they charge patrons 4% for using a credit or debit card. This shows me that this place will nickel and dime customers. This is a shady and unwelcome business practice. First of all, if they are going to charge customers for using a credit card, they should tell them upfront before ordering so they have the option to pay with cash. Accepting a credit card as payment is the cost of doing business; don't pass your business-related expenses onto customers. We are no longer in a pandemic, and supply chain issues have mostly been resolved. This practice forfeits any tips left to the cashier because the restaurant is passing a business expense to the customer. They also don't have table service, so a tip shouldn't be expected; it is no different from going to McDonald's, and McDonald's doesn't charge customers to use a credit card as payment. The prices at this place are already expensive. A breakfast sandwich and a side of potatoes are $11.99, and the Farmer's Breakfast is $13.99. Then, they want to charge 4% to use a card and expect a tip for a place that doesn't offer table service. They should just raise their prices 4% instead of nickel-and-diming the customers. This restaurant also charges 25 cents for a cup of tap water. Who does that????!!!!???? It's totally ridiculous! They charge for water that they get from the actual kitchen sink. Another thing I noticed is that the ladies restroom had no toilet paper in the dispenser and needed attention. They also did not have a reserve roll anywhere. I had to grab the paper hand towels from the sink. This proves that they do not properly stock or, at a minimum, check their restrooms. This was mid-morning so the restroom should not have run out of toilet paper that fast unless it was not checked in the first place. I do not recommend this restaurant based on the expensive prices, charging for kitchen sink tap water, operating cheaply, and nickel-and-diming customers. Customers get much better value for their money going to the Village Inn or Denny's, and customers are not charged for water. This is the first and only time we will patronize this establishment. Response to the Manager: I am sorry that your feelings are hurt from my honest opinion of my experience at your restaurant. Maybe the reason why the other restaurantt franchises have multiple locations operating is that they have customer loyalty and a success rate level that you don't have at your only location. An examplee would be how to give customers value for their money instead of taking advantage and leaving customers with a negative impression of your restaurant. Please obtain a proper business education and learn how to operate a restaurant properly instead of making excuses for your incompetence. If you are short-staffed, you need to pay your staff more instead of being as cheap as you are with your customers. We came in mid-morning, as stated in my original post. The toilet paper was out before the morning that I visited, so stop with the excuses and maintain your facilities. Grow up, have some integrity, and learn from your mistakes. If you do not want to run a restaurant properly and just do the bare minimum, then get out of the business. I would not be surprised if you shut your doors permanently within the next 12 months because you do not have a clue what you are doing. I will make sure to tell my friends and coworkers to avoid your restaurant. read more

definitely recommend this place! everything is yummy & fresh, the staff is nice, but the only thing i wish is that they add matcha to their menu :( read more

I'd give this place a solid C, maybe a C+ if I'm being generous. While visiting St Augustine we were staying nearby and wanted breakfast on our way out of town. It ok, but nothing exciting. I'll admit it, I'm a coffee snob and not a fan of coffee in a styrofoam cup. I had the breakfast sandwich, the hubs had eggs and sausage. The sausage was kinda weird. The potatoes were so salty I couldn't eat them. The outdoor tables were dirty and gross. Nice people though. read more

The food was DESPICABLE IT WAS AMAZING the homemade pancake breakfast was AMAZING the ambience is decently quiet but the wait time for the drinks was a whopping 10 WHOLE MINUTES AND THE FOOD TOOK 30 MINUTES but other than that I would recommend this restaurant And also JR Did a very good job on getting our orders right and quick read more

We were the only people there on a Monday morning. Our food came out barely warm and was fully cold about halfway through eating. Ironic to me that a place that markets themselves as farm centric has only disposable cups, silverware, and condiments. Super wasteful. My food did not taste made to order, it tasted like the eggs, toast, and bacon were all premade and kept warm. Will not be going back, would not recommend. read more

Our first time here. I ordered the vegan chorizo wrap and my hubby the Rooster sandwich. We enjoyed sitting outside while eating. Hubby loved his sandwich but wished it came with a side for $10. They put a small handful of arugula on the plate with your sandwich but with a wrap you can't put it in. Not so sure the outside tables get cleaned that often in between customers. I like that they brought your food to you when it was ready and the server was masked. It was fun being able to pick my own coconut. I do recommend to the owners to keep them chilled for purchase in a cooler instead of room temp. read more

Service was quick and breakfast was simple yet delicious! Great local spot! Support local!

Restaurant was clean, and ambience was nice, but a few issues that could be easily remedied soured me on ever going back. First, I tried to order a burger medium rare, and the watress told me the "rarest" they would cook it would be medium-well. So, as the customer, they're not prepare the food the way you want. I ordered a different sandwich, and our dishes were served with plastic dinner ware, which I found to be less than impressive. I then went to the men's room which was disgustingly dirty, with a bare spot with sheetrock visible where they removed some sort of dispenser and left it. They don't put condiments like butter on the table, and serve a dish with just one or two pats of butter. my wife had to go to the front and ask for extra butter, and she was given just two more pats of butter. Wouldn't go back. read more

Love this spot for a good vegan breakfast. Their beyond breakfast sandwich is fully vegan and super tasty. I get it with the beyond meat, but they offer a mushroom substitute as well. The datil aioli they use gives it a touch of sweetness. It's the perfect combo of sweet and savory. Paired with a side of their roasted potatoes and a sweet tea (the Southern Way), and it's worth both the price and the wait. They are usually short staffed, but are friendly and attentive. Would love for them to add vegan pancakes or waffles to their menu, then I'd be in absolute heaven. read more

Farmhand - Beyond Breakfast Sandwich (Vegan) - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - St. Augustine, Florida

Busy place. GREAT breakfast. Food well prepared. .. nice portions .. sausage taste like we use to make it ..

For a place that charges you $14 for eggs, sausages and grits, charges you for water, and tacks on 4% for credit card payments, one expects better than plastic utensils wrapped in plastic, plastic cups, and round dollar-sized sausage patties that were obviously taken out of a grocery aisle package. One other reviewer compared this to McDonald's, a few feet away. They really are about the same, only this place charges you about 3x. read more

Not bad but I wouldn't go back. Food nothing to write home about especially not for the price.

THEY HAVE MANY VEGAN OPTIONS SO INSTANT 5 stars. Delicious, savory & fresh food. We will definitely be back! I had the vegan bagel, I thought it could have used more flavor but was happy dipping it in ketchup or mustard. I had the roasted potatoes on the side and they were to die for...1000000000/10. My girlfriend had the hobbit sandwich and said it was a amazing I tried a piece without the Brie since I don't eat cheese and the flavor was fantastic. Her mac and cheese looked amazing and she confirmed it was by eating the whole side. I wish we didn't already have our coffee because they had so many flavors including tons of sugar free options. read more

Farmhand - Breakfast Sandwich - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - St. Augustine, Florida

FarmHand is a super-cool spot who's interior will surprise you based on its placement next to the road. They have a wide variety of breakfast foods and a decent number of coffee products, though I don't know what kind of coffee service they actually had since I just got a black drip. The drip was weaker than I wanted, and I find that even at some other places in the area - I don't know if it's a regional thing, the Florida water effect, or just a way to save a little money. Maybe it's just easier to please the variety of tourists. In the end, I would look for other places to get the flavor I want for the price and there's hardly any reason not to go exactly where you want with everything being in close proximity. On the value/money note, I also feel like if I walk in with a standard travel coffee cup and order "16 oz", the server should just fill my mug. Don't waste a cup and let me just pay for the amount I need for my mug. I do wish Yelp allowed me to rate based on a selection of categories, or even let me add my own so it's easier to filter out what doesn't interest you. So my rating today is solely based on a black drip. read more

Sorry, but.... Barf. I've had way better breakfast at an airport. This is one of the most deceiving businesses in St. Augustine. There's nothing "farmhand" about it. It's literally the most brown, bland and soggy meal I've had in a long time. The bread is mush, the sausage tastes like extremely processed hamburger meat and I think the cheese is, cheezwiz??. Everything is just wrong. I couldn't even finish it. The girl at the cash register was SUPER nice though! We live here and we'll never be back. Hopefully St. Augustine can turn their food game around and offer something worth locals becoming regulars at. read more

We went to St Augustine for a wedding and made it a girls weekend. On Sunday before we left we were looking for a breakfast spot and a couple of people referred FarmHand Kchn and it did not disappoint. They were out of the avo toast, so I got the breakfast sandwich and OMG...it was what I needed. Highly recommend this place! read more

We absolutely loved this place and highly recommend it! We had great interactions with all the staff and the food was so good! We had the French toast and a bacon, egg, and cheese breakfast sandwich - both were incredible! Thankful to support a local small business because they are doing it right. Go get some now! read more

Had the Ham egg and cheese bagel which was good. The girl at the counter was very nice and helpful. Inside was ok Overall food and coffee was good read more

This is the first restaurant that I have ever been in that would not provide you a glass of water. If you want water, you have to buy a bottle from them. Service and food were OK. Nothing special. I won't be returning here. There are too many other good restaurants to eat at. read more

So fresh! Enjoyed breakfast before leaving town, highly recommend. Coffee was great, friendly staff and very clean.

I got a breakfast sandwhich and an Iced Chai and they were both so so good!!! Service was great too, the lady who took our order was really friendly! We took it togo and it came out super fast. Wasn't busy inside but it's a super cute place Good breakfast spot! read more

The food was okay. It wasn't bad but it wasn't the best I've had either. I felt the portions were small for the price. We ordered a cup of water, a bottled water, orange juice, coffee, farmhand breakfast plate, and then the pancake breakfast plate and it came out to around $50. For the price I just expected more. The service was okay. I don't feel like anything extraordinary was done but the staff were nice and we waited about 15-20mins for our food. I was not a fan of the plastic utensils. They were kind of flimsy and were challenging to use when trying to cut the pancakes. Again, for the price you would expect to have nicer silverware. I would eat here again if it wasn't so expensive. read more

Farmhand Kchn is a great place to eat! The food is fresh, the atmosphere is great, and the staff is super sweet! I have visited FarmHand's kchn multiple times over the past year as well as prior to it switching owners, changing names, and all that good stuff! I stopped in really quickly this past weekend to grab breakfast with my family. We had a great time as always. My mother ordered the ranchero bowl which she was pleased with! It was seasoned and super filling she said. My boyfriend ordered the French toast which he could not get enough of! It was sweet and tasty. I ordered the same thing I order every time because it always hits the spot! I ordered the rooster sandwich. It's light and delicious! I also ordered the lemonade to drink which was perfect! It wasn't too sweet but it also wasn't lacking sugar! It was the cherry on top for my meal! read more

All as I can say is I'm confused and maybe we caught the business on a bad day! WE went for a late breakfast on Monday morning and was told right away we'd be looking at a 30-45 min wait for our food which was ok since we were visiting my nephew and this gave us an opportunity to catch up. When the food finally came it was barely warm and not very good portions for the prices. We eat out allot and I review a fair number of businesses and hardly ever complain, but this experience was far from good. The prices are way to high for the portion size and quality. My Grilled Cheese was almost $8.00 and wasn't made with a higher end cheese like Gruyere, Gouda or Manchego but plain and flavorless white American cheese. My Tomato Bisque was good but the portion size was maybe 4oz for $4.79. In the end for the bill was $57.00 after tip. I'm willing to pay higher prices for high quality and unique dishes but none of our were at all. Two slices of French Toast of $12.79 is just wrong! There are better much more affordable options for breakfast like the Maple Biscuit Company and Blue Hen. I soo wanted to have a good experience at Farmhand Kitchen as I loved the concept; but we didn't. read more

This place is great for a coffee and quick bite. The ranchero bowl and various sandwiches are delicious. The coffee is also very good.

My son and I had breakfast here on our way out of St Augustine. Friendly staff, good selections, food very good. Recommend for a good meal. Prices fair read more

Cute spot. I wasn't sure what to expect. I have seen this place several times and today looked up a breakfast spot and pulled up realizing it was the place I had seen before. You walk in and to the right and order at a counter and seat yourself - they give you a number and bring the drinks and food to your table. It took me a minute to realize that because the counter is off to the side. The guy at the front counter was not very friendly and welcoming from the start. He was also not wearing his mask properly as his nose was exposed. He especially loved (sarcastic) when I started asking questions about menu options and what could be made dairy-free due to an allergy. Anyway - I ended up getting the breakfast platter with potatoes instead of the grits (due to dairy), sausage, toast and scrambled eggs. Everything was seasoned really well, especially the potatoes (roasted fingerling potatoes). My husband got the French toast which was smothered in Nutella and topped with fruit, and a side of bacon. The bread was so big and thick (that's what she said!). For drinks we got hot coffee and a black cold brew, nothing special, but they had lots of different options and flavors. I would probably consider going back, even with the super friendly guy at the counter. Also, keep in mind, it was a Monday so maybe he was having a bad case of the Monday's. read more

Farmhand - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - St. Augustine, Florida

Stopped in with family while we were in town for the weekend. Half of us are vegan so this spot was perfect. We all had the Vegan bagels and they were very good. I also ordered a side of the grits and they were very good with flavor unlike most places. My husband had the Ranchero bowl and he enjoyed it. The only downside was it took forever to get our food but the staff in all honesty was very nice and were all moving as fast as possible so it was not from lack of that. The coffee was not hot at all but very good and they even have flavored sugar cubes. read more

The vegan chorizo wrap with potatoes was very fresh and favorful.  The cranberry muffin had delicious tart cranberries and a dusting of powdered sugar, with a side of whipped cream. Quite a tasty treat! The fresh fruit on this day were grapes and sliced strawberries, which glistened prettily, perhaps sweetened with agave? It was wonderful that they have alternatives to dairy milk here, and many flavors to choose from for your coffee. read more

It just wan't good. Eggs were fragmented pieces. Not even sure how you do that. Ground pork smashed into the grill with odd flavors. No real service. They ask for a 15%~25% tip. read more

Four stars is generous for this review and only for their efforts for farm to table and ethical sourcing. We need more food businesses with sustainable practices like this. On the way out of St. Augustine and wanted a decent breakfast, so gave this establishment a try. For breakfast we tried the vegetarian platter with vegan sausage grits- it was quite tasty. My partner had the egg wrap and it is substantial and delish. Lattes and chai abound... all good. My comment to management would be: Take all crap off counter and open up 2 registers. Only one register exists? The line to order is constantly backed up. On a Sunday morning I watched people walk out while waiting to order. I saw 6 employees behind the counter & kitchen while 9 customers were in line (a few sitting) and you couldn't handle it. Maybe a bad day, but I think not after reading similar reviews . I recommend this place if you're not in a hurry. read more

Farmhand kitchen was a good experience. We stopped in and we're offered seating wherever we wanted, however we had to get up and order our food because it is self service. They had a lot of coffee choices, I had a cappuccino and added lavender and vanilla to it and it ended up being delicious. My mother had a very good breakfast sandwich which I highly suggest anyone to get any day for breakfast, it is very fresh. What I found very cool is they had a sugar cube bar And they make them homemade. You can add any flavor sugar cube to your coffee or tea or drink whatever you get. The only reason I rated this 4 star's is because all though my Greek salad was good, there were very little shrimp in it and they were very rubbery. It definitely wasn't worth an $8 up charge to add the shrimp. read more

I have attempted to come here every single time I have stayed in St. Aug for the past 2 years. Without fail, the hours in yelp and/ or* online are wrong.

We live down the road from farmhand but didn't try it until today. Farmhand is super cozy and clean. The employees were very kind, and the service was fast. The food was also great. We ordered the rooster, and another sandwich. They came out in 10 minutes and were so good. Its definitely pricy for the amount of food though. The bill came to $40ish, and we still left quite hungry. We also found a piece of avocado in a side of applesauce, but it wasn't a huge deal. We'll be coming back to try breakfast! read more

I'm the service is ridiculously slow. I had to wait literally 45 minutes for a breakfast sandwich and coffee, which were both sub par. The cashier was nice but I wish they'd let me know it was going to take so long, no place should take your order and then essentially hold you hostage for almost an hour because you paid and have to wait. Re owner: Definitely waited a full hour there no exaggeration, Mr. owner! read more

Cute and clean place, nice folks that take good care of you, vegan options were delicious with good quality ingredients, and free coffee refills add to the value! Quibbles are with plastic cutlery with salt and pepper packets in place of washable cutlery and salt and pepper shakers, and the fried breakfast potatoes were too salty for my partner, but I liked'em! Overall great experience, totally recommended! read more

We enjoyed a very good breakfast. We were welcomed by a smiling, friendly waitress, and told to take menu and order at the counter when ready. The restaurant was clean, and the aesthetic was minimal, modern, and friendly. We ordered coffees with sugar free syrups, of which there were many to choose from. My husband ordered the fresh squeezed orange juice, and French toast. I ordered the bagel with vegan egg, and cheese grits . We chose our seats and in no time at all our food was brought to our table hot, fresh, and complete. We enjoyed the delicious breakfast, and we plan on returning soon. read more
