Maracuya is a delightful little coffee shop in the west king neighborhood that is a must visit. With indoor seating and a cute front porch to sip coffee before heading downtown it's my first recommendation for those looking for a calm spot to get coffee before heading into the busy and crowded downtown. The baristas are all very sweet and vibrant. There's a rotating assortment of delicious specialty drinks for those looking for a sweet treat as well as a very solid straight espresso pull for those with the palette to notice. But my biggest recommendation is the empanadas they serve hot and fresh everyday. The combination of sweet, savory, and bold that comes from the pairing of coffee has made visiting maracuya become my weekend ritual. I even had the chance to talk to the owners Staci and Marcel (who also own and operate Llama, arguably one of, if not the best restaurant in st Augustine) and got to hear about the business and the events they plan in town. They're a lovely couple and it was great hearing about their commitment to bringing a more vibrant and youthful scene to the nations oldest city. Can't recommend this place enough and their commitment to being a part of and serving the local community. read more

Maracuya by Llama - Lavender honey latte Dirty chai with pistachio whip cream - Coffee & Tea Near Me - St. Augustine, Florida

We stopped by after brunch at Ice Plant and were absolutely delighted by this spot! First of all- it's so cute. The front porch is covered with teacups overflowing with plants, and the charm continues inside with cozy décor, and greenery. I originally went in wanting a latte, but the strawberry matcha with banana cold foam caught my eye and I had to try it. So glad I did because it was delicious! My friend ordered an iced latte and was equally happy with her pick. We were lucky enough to meet the owner, Stacey, who was warm, welcoming, and full of fun energy. She shared some interesting building trivia (it used to be a brothel!) and encouraged us to check out the bathroom featuring a clawfoot tub filled with colorful balls. Totally whimsical and unexpected, just like Maracuya by Llama. read more

This is the most amazing coffee shop in St. Augustine. I love the little cottage vibe, the cozy front porch, and the amazing baristas. Right now, I'm all about the double iced coffee cup, so I can get two flavors for one. it's a little pricey, but worth it. Also of note, the empanadas are delicious, and the muffins are wonderful. When the weather gets nicer, I'm definitely in for spending some mornings working there while I enjoy my coffee. read more

Where to start with this place! The fact that it's a little house with a sitting area outside -- so cute. The interior is beautiful and comfortable. The baristas -- so nice! I had a great conversation with a barista and even met the baker. (The baker was so cool - she's super passionate about it!) I sat in there and worked on my computer in the morning and enjoyed a piece of cheese bread and a beef empanada. The cheese bread was WAY BETTER than I expected! Seriously, so delicious. The empanada was good - I normally don't eat meat but was easing back into it. I don't think I've ever had an empanada with raisins in it before, I liked it. Oh, and I had a gigantic horchata white chocolate latte - so good. I also got the other treats to go. The tres leches cake had a sort of lavender cream on top? It was so good, adorable too...it has edible glitter and flowers on top. Everything was so good and I can't wait to go back. read more

What a cute coffee spot; perfect for St. Augustine's vibe! I fully appreciate that this spot is a beautiful restored old home turned into a coffee and light bites cafe. You won't find gems like this in Jax. This was worth the 45 min drive from the city! side note (Maracuya is open until 4; not 3 on Saturday's like stated here on Yelp) Very pleasant surprise since I arrived at 2:30 on Saturday. I saw Maracuya post delicious drink specials the past few weeks on instagram and made it a point to come out and try the food and coffee! (It was a coincidence that I just happened to make it out on mister T biscuits bday) You are immediately greeted with a smile as soon as you walk in by the sweetest barista who explains everything in detail for first timers like myself. She welcomed the bday boy which was very nice of her since it was raining out and I couldn't leave him in the car with the windows rolled up. Normally I'm polite and leave my 45lb dog in the car but I did not expect the rain on my quick lil visit. This was a very sweet gesture. I ordered the special latte (white chocolate mocha with lavender whipped cream) I saw on Instagram and it was just as magically delicious as I thought it would be. I also got another special that day - the chocolate banana espresso cake! So dang good! The other two scrumptious food options I tried: the beef empanada that comes with a lime slice and sauce, and the muffin which is the Ahi de gallina - which had a delicious savory filling inside. Next time I visit I'm making sure to Not eat lunch first so I can try more things. I also noticed they had a cute lil outdoor space both on the front patio, and on the back porch area. This would be the perfect spot to bring a book or work remotely for lunch. Will also be checking that out on my next non rainy visit out here. On the way out I grabbed a passion lychee tea that came with edible glitter inside! How cool! I love the lil touches this coffee shop puts into each menu item to make it extra special for guests. Give Maracuya a try - this just became my new fave cafe to visit when in St Augustine. If you visit their Instagram page, they tell you where you can park right next to the shop for free. I found parking out front but parking should not be an issue; plenty of free parking right across the street. read more

Had really high hopes when we came for coffee at 9am and it was closed when they advertise everywhere being open from 8-4. Drive back by two more times and finally at 10:20 they were opening. This probably soured my experience but-- coffee was good, although the espresso isn't strong. Will try other local places instead of retrying even though it's three minutes from home. read more

Maracuya by Llama - Pistachio Dark Mocha - Coffee & Tea Near Me - St. Augustine, Florida

If you're a coffee lover with a sweet tooth, Maracuyá by Liams Café in St. Augustine is a must-visit. Nestled in the city's artsy district, this café is known for its extravagant coffee presentations, and their Ferrero Rocher coffee is a standout treat. From the moment you walk in, the vibrant décor and cozy atmosphere set the tone for a delightful experience. The Ferrero Rocher coffee is an absolute showstopper--it comes beautifully crafted with a rich espresso base, velvety chocolate, and a perfectly balanced hazelnut flavor reminiscent of the iconic Ferrero Rocher candy. The friendly vibes and service are a plus! I recommend it!! read more

Such a cute cafe!! Beautifully decorated with some seating in the next room. Very peaceful and relaxing. I saw their menu online and knew I had to come in to try some of their delicious coffee options. Their matcha and other tea options were another great draw. As soon as we walked in we were greeted and they let us know they would take our order in just a few minutes and to look over their menu. Such great service! Everyone was very kind and bubbly while we were placing our order. I ordered the pistachio dark mocha with pistachio whipped cream and my fiancé ordered the coconut mocha also with whipped cream. These were both to die for. The dark mocha pistachio had a great balance with every flavor in each sip. We could both still actually taste coffee which is the true wanted balance. The pistachio whipped cream on mine was just delicious. Just order it! read more

Absolutely love it here!!! I am going to come back again and again. I stopped in after church on a Sunday quaint little place, great for a family drop in, wonderful for a work from home day. The juice is my fav!! Maracuya freshly bottled for sale at $5 for 8oz I'd say. If your from the caribbean you are going to feel back at home. We also ordered a beef empanada, a passion fruit + lychee iced tea, iced passion matcha, (not overly sweet very refreshing). We also got a maracuya cheesecake for the 5 items it cost us $31.00 a bit steep, but I will definitely come for the juice and the serene feel. Food is tasty and service is great, very warm and friendly. Spoiler the bathroom was my favorite place the tub! & purple balls was fun to snap some shots! read more

I struggle with coffee shops because I don't drink anything coffee or mocha flavored. I explained my dilemma and they steered me to things I might like.I decided on the Lavender Chai Latte with almond milk and then ordered a cheese bread. I sat inside but there are outside tables in the front and back. There is wi-fi. Place is very cozy and I found parking in one of the side parking spaces at the restaurant. Otherwise you just park on the street. There were many dessert choices and they all looked wonderful. There were samples up front so I got to try a few other things as well. The drink was also very good. I normally don't get sweet drinks but I treated myself today. I will be working my way down the menu. If you have ever eaten at Llama you know that everything that comes out of the kitchen is next level. read more

This little unassuming coffee shop is an amazing gem! The lattes are phenomenal and the desserts and empanadas utterly delectable. Not a surprise since it was opened by the owner of Llama Restaurant, which is absolutely amazing. From the street it looks like your average family home, but the inside has been tastefully decorated and there is a small seating area inside, and another outside on the front porch. Parking is a bit tricky in this little mostly residential neighborhood, but they provide helpful information on their Facebook page to park on Travis Street as well as a city lot nearby. For lattes, we've tried the Pistachio Dark Mocha, Algarrobina, Horchata White Mocha, and Orange. Each has a uniquely flavored whipped cream to go on top. Every single one is not only one of a kind, but absolutely delicious. The savories may change but the empanadas seem to be a mainstay item, at least while they last. Not your ordinary filled empanada either, but they use items from their restaurant and turn them into tasty little snacks in the coffee shop. I had a wonderful quiche so full of flavor, but next visit there was an egg based cupcake shaped delight instead. The sweet desserts come from a page in their restaurant, little cups of heavenly mouses and other delights. They also offer fresh-squeezed tropical juices. Don't sleep on this place! You will find something you love and you will want to return over and over again. read more

Amazing service and the rotisserie chicken sandwich with the potato string chips was sooooo yummy!

This is a wonderful coffee shop in St. Augustine! I found it randomly when I was driving down the road. I noticed people having coffee on the porch so I decided to turn around and go inside. It's a wonderful space to grab a cup of coffee and a pastry. They also have empanadas! I look forward to returning! read more

Good coffee , could use more to eat with it though , the limited selections of pastries and sweets does this place a disservice in terms of fulfilling a snacking and coffee need read more

Don't normally post reviews but this place deserves it. My sister and I had an amazing experience. First off, I thought the ambience was eclectic and unique with some modern details in the best way. The girl at the counter was super friendly and sweet; gave us awesome recommendations. The Peruvian cuisine was super fun, and we ended up ordering the Algarrobina custard; absolutely phenomenal. I also ordered the matcha with ube foam (June special). Easily one of the best matchas I've ever had!! Which is saying a lot since I consume an excessive amount of matcha and coffee on a regular basis. Will definitely come back! read more

Ambiance is like walking up to a jungle, a Peruvian jungle. The old house is so rustic; love the tin roof out front that has rusted. Green plants all around you. The service is awesome, friendly and helpful. The desserts are house made and delicious. The coffee is good enough to come all the way from Ky to get a medium cup of many flavored coffees. Here visiting and plan on getting my coffee fix from here on a daily basis. So easy to find, follow your map on the phone and your there! read more
