I grew up on homemade Polish food so the reviews brought us in. We are WOWED by the food! Pierogis that were definitely made on site! Kielbasa that was juicy and delicious! The sauerkraut had been cooking for hours and was the perfect blend of tart and tangy. The service was great and the place was very cozy and inviting. We can't wait to come in again for stuffed cabbage and then work through the rest of the menu! See you again soon! read more

Authentic ambiance and the food was so so good. Pierogies were awesome, wine was delish. Extremely underrated local banger.

We ordered a variety of food. J had a special that included a Greek salad, coconut chicken soup and spinach pie. The pie wasn't quite flaky enough but the flavor was good. Nice Greek salad and soup was flavorful. The real star was what my fellow dinners got. A Omni that included stuffed cabbage (gonna dream about that) and pierogis. You could pick your choice of pierogis and hands down some of the best I've had outside of my friends Swedish grandma. The portions were huge. We arrived 5 minutes after opening and within 5 more minutes all the tables were taken. Looked like lots of locals enjoy this place. I'll definitely go back next time I'm in St. Augustine. Check this place out!!! read more

Hey Yelpers have I got a gem to share with you! We decided to go to St. Augustine and try out a new spot. Wooowie were we in for a treat! This place is very cozy, feels like your at someones home. They serve a bit of Polish and Greek items. The service was wondeful, our server was very helpful with options. The food was fresh, full of flavor. We had the side of Polish Sausage, Pierogies potato and cheese filled and Golombki cabbage leaves stuffed with rice and meat topped with tomato sauce. We also had an order of grape leaves for appetizer. Dessert we had the Ube cake definately a different type of flavor it was ok for me. Reminded me a bit of ganache which Im not really big on..sorry I know! My WOW moment was taken a notch higher when we tried two of their wines. They were so good we bought two bottles of each! The first was a raspberry red wine, Polish Nalewka Babuni its very smooth but boy after a few sips you start to feel pretty good...thats my kind of wine! The second was the St. John Commondaria, red fortified with Brandy this has an aroma of raisins with the sweetness of honey loved this Greek wine! Great spot for date or just to try something new, I highly recommend it. Thank you to the Chef and crew they are wonderful! Cant wait to go back to try the Barley soup now that its in season! read more

Fantastic little hidden gem in the heart of old town Saint Augustine. So glad they made it through COVID as this place is really worth a visit or ten. I don't want to drone on and on but let me just say that the quality of the food and the portions are always outstanding. There's nothing here but good, honest ethnic fare done right. read more

We selected this place based on fellow Yelper reviews. I try to seek out independent restaurants whenever I can to support the local economy. Bottom line, it seems that their reputation exceeds their product. Our lunch entrees were sub average as was the Basque cheesecake. I wish I could be mire positive about the food, but the spanikopita was about the worst I've had...dry and lacking in taste. read more

Great spot we stumbled into. Very nice waitress and excellent authentic food! Small spot, off an alley, felt European. Had a map on the wall with push pins of people from all over the world who had visited. read more

What an adorable polish delight! While strolling through St. Augustine mid afternoon we had a grumble on our tummies and decided to seek out something delicious. Luckily we stumbled upon Gaufre's and Goods and decided to give the polish coffee and perogies a try! Christine greeted us, seated us, and waited on us as well. She is a jack of all trades and does her job well. I ordered a Carmel macchiato and she made it beautifully and we also partook in the potato perogies that were scrumptious and hit the spot. The price was right on and the portions were generous. The menu has desserts, drinks, and other polish delicacies to choose from. The atmosphere is charming, simple, and welcoming. This is a hole in the wall gem that you should visit. If you like it enough you can even buy a t shirt. Take a stroll down the side street and check this place out. Give Christine a good tip too, she deserves it! read more

We were on the trolley tour and the driver recommended the cheesecake here. So, that's exactly what my wife and I did. The cheesecake was very good, $7.50. A bit enough piece that we could split it. I was disappointed that we had already eaten lunch, because the food here looked great (I spied on every meal that was served while we were there). They have a great selection of food, beers, wines, and non-alcoholic beverages. This isn't a traditional restaurant building; instead, it is located at the intersection of two alleys, in what I assume, may have been someone's home at one time or another. The only thing preventing that fifth star, is the server (he was the owner I would assume). He didn't evoke the term warm, friendly and welcoming, not quite a 180 from there, but the needle was more towards grumpy than friendly. With that said, my wife and I both decided to give it a whirl for lunch next time we are in St. Augustine. read more

Food and service were both wonderful. We shared stuffed cabbage, kielbasa and pierogis. Waitress recommended a German beer that went perfectly with our lunch. We can't believe that we have lived in area for over 3 years and this was our first visit - we will definitely be back! read more

This St. Augustine establishment has changed location many years ago, but is still between some of the oldest streets & alleys in Old Town. Authentically wonderful menu of Polish foods. I just had the Spicey Coconut chicken soup and pyzys (dumplings w/ meat). It was delicious, the pyzy was a large portion. I have a Polish friend who always likes to dine here when they visit. Reasonably priced and charming altho no outdoor seating. Service was excellent, efficient, smiling. read more

I was born and raised in Poland and grew up eating plenty of babcia's pierogies, golabkies, etc. The food here remind me of those flavors I grew up with. Pierogies, soup and everything is authentic and really really good. The old style decor reminds of my home town Wrocław restaurants and even decorations that I grew up with. It's a bit of hole in a wall and but it also showcases what restaurants in Poland used to be like years ago. read more

Love the atmosphere here. It feels like you are at a little European cafe. There are perfect, quaint outdoor tables as well if you would like your furry friend to join you. I love both the greek and polish dishes. There are many vegetarian options. They have my favorite Tzatziki and grape leaves. I also love the pierogi and the whole grape leaf platter with the tomatoes, onions and feta. Although I am not a beet fan, they have the most beautiful bright pink cold beet soup. Totally instagram worthy. Only side note is that I wish that had a more robust wine selection. I don't love the wines. read more

What a treat! Came upon this hidden gem. The baklava was delicious. Along with a cappuccino. Next time we will try a meal.

Too busy to call us back. A "20 minute" wait turned into 60+ minutes Meanwhile we went elsewhere. Otherwise the place had a nice aroma and it looked cozy. read more

I am mid meal, it's super, incredible, spectacular. The beer selection, the food, everything is perfect for St. Aug. I hope you come here because I was not disappointed. read more

The food was INCREDIBLE!!! AWESOME!!!' The fried feta cheese was everything will definitely go back

This restaurant has Greek and Polish food. It was my first time trying Polish food. It was great, especially the pierogies. I had all four kinds of pierogies - all were great. My wife had a Greek dish and it was very good too. The staff is nice. The restaurant is quaint and just off the beaten path of the historic district. The relaxing and quiet atmosphere was great too. read more

Came across this place several months ago and decided to try it for Mother's Day lunch. Got here around 1ish and there were several tables open. The restaurant makes you feel like you are in someone's home. The wait staff quickly pulled together two tables for our party of five. We ordered the Greek Sampler Platter appetizer which had hummus, eggplant salad (can't spell the real name) and tzatziki served tomato wedges, green onions, stuffed grape leaves and fresh pita bread (so soft and warm). We devoured the appetizer and thoroughly enjoyed all of it especially the tzatziki and eggplant salad. The tomatoes were so good (tasted like home grown)! Three of us ordered their gyros (they make in house no frozen meat on a rotisserie here). My husband ordered the kielbasa platter which comes with kielbasa, kraut, three periogies (you can choose what they are stuffed with --cheese & potato, spinach, & meat). The gyros were pricey at $17 but were worth it. To finish the meal we shared a slice of "Burnt" cheesecake. Yes, burnt. It was so good and light. I will definitely be back. I want to try the baked feta appetizer and the Stuffed Pepper dish which they were out of. So glad we came to Gaufre's & Goods. Service was great and so was the food! Sorry, no pics...we were enjoying our time and food together. read more

RESTAURANT REVIEW: We had a good meal at Gaufres & Goods Polish and Greek Restaurant in St. Augustine, Florida. We were a little concerned about the menu given the eclectic mix of cuisine, but we stuck with the Polish side and the food was tasty. Our son ordered the Polish sausage with sauerkraut and meat perogies. He loved his meal. I thought the sauerkraut was a little ... well ... sour but that's how he likes it and he was happy. My husband ordered the beef and cabbage roll with perogies on the side. He didn't like his food as much as we did. He found the meat way too finely ground and the sauce tasteless. I ordered the cheese and potato perogies and they were delicious. Very, very filling but delectable with onions, and sour cream on the side. This is not a fancy restaurant by any means, but if you're craving a hearty, comfort food type meal then this is the place to go. Our one complaint was that the restaurant is seriously understaffed. Two young women handled the entire front room from reception to waitressing to bartending to cleanup. They were both rather frazzled as a result. There was a short wait when we got there but luckily we went early. I will say the kitchen did a good job of pushing out the food. But they need to get these women some help, especially at Christmas time. Overall, however, it was an enjoyable experience and we would return. read more

I went here specifically because I missed the Polish food from Chicago. I ordered the stuffed cabbage, sauerkraut and mushroom pierogies, the Hungarian goulash and the beef and barley soup. Everything was delicious! I will be going back soon as the food satisfied my cravings. I am so happy that I found this place!!!! read more

The food here is delicious. Very traditional style, which is what we were after. The service was great. Very quick and friendly. Our 7 year old enjoyed it too. The spinach pie & Greek salad combo was a large portion, so you won't be leaving hungry. Husband enjoyed the gyro and the customized waffle for the kiddo was a hit. read more

Last time we were here we had a great experience. Today, not so much. We had the misfortune of visiting on a Monday, and they were out of some of our favorites: blueberry pierogis, gaufres/waffles, Nutella. (IMHO, if gaufres are in the name of your restaurant, you should have plenty! The server was also off-putting. I have recommended this small place to so many people, now I am questioning that! read more

I did not eat in this location, but I grabbed food to take out. Their stuffed cabbage and perogies were so good!

Everything was fantastic! The skillet fried feta, spicy coconut soup with chicken, feta pie, Greek salad, pierogis and burnt cheesecake with fresh whipping cream and honey. This will be a must go to everyone we go to STA! read more

Traditional Polish cold beetroot soup, CHŁODNIK LITEWSKI, is the best thing I have ever eaten in 2018. The most profound thing about this soup is that I found it in a very small and humble place hidden in an alley in St Augustine. It originates in Lithuania (sometimes it is called Lithuanian cold soup "in Polish - Litewski Chlodnik") it has a very long history in Poland. During the Jagiellonian era between 14-16 century, many people were traveling between both countries. They were not only exchanging traditions but also recipes. The dish was most popular during hot summer days, where people wanted to cool down. Thanks to its fine taste it was eaten not only in peasant houses but it also appeared on aristocratic tables. Gaufre and Goods is the place to go for spectacular Polish, Greek, and Eastern European food. Loved the exquisite mushroom sauerkraut pierogis and the cold borscht soup, CHŁODNIK LITEWSKI, with amazing texture and flavors! We came here for brunch, beer, and coffee. My Russian friend, Sergei, and his wife Carmen celebrated his birthday and wedding anniversary here. His birthday cake was an unusual baklava dessert. Our server, Heather, was kind, gracious, and sang a sweet happy birthday to him. My friends were impressed with the menu, fabulous food, and prices. Love this tiny place with a big heart and humble flavorful food! read more

OH. MY. GOSH. This place is beyond amazing. I have been to Gaufre's several times and have always left with a giant smile on my face. I usually come for brunch on a weekend and have had good success getting seated without issues. The interior is smaller, with about 10 tables inside, and a small patio on the outside. There is a counter where you can order to-go, or they provide service to your table. The food is AMAZING. On our most recent trip there were 6 of us who decided to share small plates tapas-style. We ordered grape leaves, hummus, pierogies, and a few other items and everything was delicious. I chased my meal down with a couple mimosas. The best part, however, is the waffles! We ordered ours with nutella, bananas, strawberries, blueberries, and vanilla ice cream. So unbelievably good! After a meal so good, I decided to order their Gyro to take home because I knew I could not make or buy anything that would compete. It was a great decision. If you're in the area, or even passing nearby, you owe it to yourself to try Gaufre's! read more

Not on a Main Street, so you have to know this amazing and authentic restaurant is there. The food is the "real thing", and reasonably priced. Radi was our server and guided us through one of our best dining experiences on this visit to St Augustine. You will not be disappointed! read more

Is as good foods as foods can be. Tzatziki, pierogi and potato starch dumplings with meat are as good as ever tasted. If you think Greek and Polish foods don't combine well, you have never had onions sour cream and bacon on spinach pie. Beaucoup good. Eponymous waffle was good, but perhaps not best ever. Still very good. Get blackcurrant juice and order foods and eat foods. Much happiness will ensure. Service is as friendly as food is good. Take your mouth here and eat the things. Thank Bog! read more

What a charmer. Set in a quiet alley without the swarm of tourists is this little cafe serving up Greek food, Polish food, and Belgian waffles. It's charming inside - with pink top tables and doilies and a classic European cafe counter. They serve interesting, authentic food: Polish soups and stews, Greek appetizers, and other items! My husband got potato and cheese pierogi with bacon. I had the stuffed cabbage combo with (you guessed it) stuffed cabbage, three of the potato and cheese pierogi, and bread. They also offer interesting wines and beers - many from Eastern Europe or Greece. The service was good, and the place is wonderful (you don't even feel like you're in Florida anymore - it feels very European). The food was good - but didn't blow me away. Maybe that's because they serve food that I have such an attachment to. I did that thing - that terrible thing - "this stuffed cabbage doesn't taste like my mom's stuffed cabbage...too much rice...not enough beef...the sauce isn't sweet and sour..." The pierogi were good: fluffy insides and well cooked dough outside. But the stuffed cabbage - not as good as my mom's! I did feel that the tomato sauce had an uncooked taste to it - like tomatoes from a can that haven't been cooked down enough. But maybe it was just that I expect stuffed cabbage with a sweet and sour tomato sauce - and this just wasn't that! All in all, it was a wonderful meal, and a great break from the Spanish/Mexican/Latin American food we ate most of the time while we were in St. Augustine! I'd definitely go back to try other items off the menu. I'd probably just not get the stuffed cabbage again! read more

We were excited to discover this restaurant tucked away in an alley. Sitting at one of the two tables beside a quiet cobblestone road it was easy to be transported to an earlier era. The reviews were good and the menus enticing. I ordered a Greek salad and my husband the stuffed cabbage leaves. The salad was less than average. The lettuce was wilted and the broken rib ends were pink. It had grape tomatoes, a few slices of cucumber, a couple of olives, and a light sprinkling of cheese. The cabbage roll looked more promising, even though it arrived swimming in what appeared to be canned tomato purée. Bite one was alright but bite two revealed uncooked meat. We showed our waitress who quickly removed the plate then returned with the same plate and the owner, who apologized profusely and agreed to remake the dish. Another dish was returned to our table sans pink meat, however no compensation was offered for the potential health risk and inconvenience. read more

This place is a bit hard to find, but once you're there it's magic! Nestled just off of Aviles Street (pedestrian street) in the heart of downtown, this hidden gem is owned and operated by Polish natives. We came in during the first Friday Art Walk and we were greeted promptly and a table was cleared for us. They were a bit busy with only two servers, so we waited a bit to receive menus. There was lots of variety including vegan and vegetarian options. We chose the hummus platter without olives and subbed extra tomatoes at no extra cost. I could tell the hummus was homemade and the balsamic reduction was a perfect marriage with the veggies as well. The gyro was the star! Tender pork and lamb with homemade tzatziki sauce hit the spot. We finished with blueberry pierogies that were incredibly fresh with sour cream and coarse raw sugar sprinkled on top. Our server gladly split our checks. The restrooms were very clean as well. We'll definitely be back again and again! read more

It started with sweet iced tea that had an off-flavor and tasted stale/soured. Next, had the Bigo's Hunter Stew... I expected it to have a strong and interesting flavor with such a bold combination of ingredients, but it ended up being the worst thing I've ever tasted and the first restaurant dish that I've actually had to spit out and push aside. It had no redeeming qualities. There was legitimately burned meat in it which was dry and chalky, and the broth tasted like a burned pan deglazed with salty, sour garbage juice. I came down with food poisoning after that meal during a long road trip home. Would not recommend. I was tempted to add a star because the server was very attentive, kind and understanding, but I would not wish that stew on my worst enemy. read more
