Service was friendly and spot on. Cafe con leche was very good. Empanada had shredded beef and was flavorful. Ham croquettes were good. Ordered the Cuban frita, loaded with flavor but was rather small and thin. I would definitely come back and try their Cuban sandwich. read more

Highly recommend. Amazing cuban cofffee, empanadas, cuban sandwiches and tiramisu. Friendly and fast service.

Great Cuban family food, coffees, and pastries galore, including Basque burnt cheesecake, macaroons, and many more Latin regional specialties. read more

Paladar Cuban Eatery & Bakery - Beautiful artwork. - Cuban Near Me - St. Augustine, Florida

This is the cutest stop with an amazing bakery. I love everything from the mimosas to the empanadas and the desserts. We stop here as often as possible and love it each time. It's a quick stop too! Also locally owned! read more

This delicious Cuban eatery is adorable and the team work displayed is a wonderful experience! You will not be disappointed' love that they are here on the island! read more

This was such a little gem on our trip to st Augustine! The coffee is delicious and we loved all the baked goods!

Easily the best sandwich in St. Augustine... and easily the tastiest coffee, most authentic Cuban vibes, amazing pastries and SO cute inside and out. Don't miss it... we will likely eat here everyday before we leave. Impressed and satisfied... so so so delicious! My only complaint is not having a bigger stomach to try more foods in one sitting. Might be my favorite spot on the island. read more

Amazing authentic Cuban cuisine in an adorable atmosphere! Very friendly service - will definitely be back next time I'm in St Augustine!

We've been wanting to try Paladar Cuban Eatery since Vanessa posted about it. Today was the day and I'm so glad it was!! Everything was delicious and the staff was super friendly even though they were very busy. We tried the Cuban Sandwich, Media Noche sandwich, a Pollo (chicken) Bowl with rice, black beans and plantains, an Oreo cookie, a Beef Pastelito, Beef Empanada and a slice of Basque Cheesecake. Wow!! I didn't taste the cookie, but heard it was delicious, just like everything else. I HIGHLY recommend this place to anyone looking for delicious food! Joe was super happy that we took him here for Father's Day. I have one observation for the owners - start planning now because you're going to need more space! read more

We absolutely loved this place. Almost hate to rate it so high...might become so popular it would be hard to get in. It is small. People very friendly. Wonderful alternative to the fish Etc options all over the island. The decor was beautiful and small outdoor seating area with a couch was lovely. Super dog friendly too. read more

Delicious and similar to the Cuban sandwich in Miami. The cinnamon roll was hot out of the oven and delicious. The guava cheese pastry was melty and gooey in the middle which made it so good. The ham coquettes were good but I was hoping to see more ham. read more

Great Cuban and medianoche also great coffee first time stopping by and if I'm ever in that area will stop again.

Nice little place, had a bit of a wait since it was busy. We ordered the Cubano and Media Noche sandwiches, and Yuca Fries. Very nice folks, food came out quickly and the sandwiches were very good. The Yuca fries were So-So like they were old not fresh. But overall it was very good and we will definitely return. read more

Love me some Cuban food and so happy to see this in St. Augustine! We ordered pastries and are obsessed with the cinnamon rolls there! Will be back! read more

Paladar is absolutely amazing! I am absolutely obsessed with Cuban pastries and let me tell you, they have the absolute best pastries I have ever had the pleasure of tasting. Not only is the food incredible, but the customer service is absolutely top-notch. The staff at Paladar always greets you with such a warm welcome and a genuine smile that really makes you feel appreciated. Additionally, I must mention how delightful the decor is. The colors are so perfectly coordinated, the historical pictures add a touch of charm, and the beautiful mural as you enter is simply breathtaking. I honestly wish there were Paladar cafes everywhere because I would choose it over Starbucks or any other cafe any day. The only drawback I can think of is that if Paladar were located near me, I would probably end up gaining about 20lbs in just a week! Haha! read more

There empanadas are amazing. I would say one is my favorite but they are all SO good. I'm not sure what the sauce is called but pair it with the dipping sauce with cilantro. Amazing! Best beach lunch: portable and yummy! read more

Such a treat, every time we stop here! The food is amazing, the service is great, and I love the ambiance. Have loved everything I've tried. We usually eat there and order more to bring home. Someone else commented that it isn't a locals place, but I beg to differ! Us locals love it and hope it's here to stay!!! Owner is very friendly and welcoming- almost always there. I am picky about where I eat, and this place is cite, charming, super clean, and has the best fresh food. ​​ read more

Great sandwich. Nice place too. Standoffish cook, who appeared to be the owner, but that didn't distract from the ambiance. The cashier was pleasant. I'll order from them again next time I'm in town. read more

Always make a point to stop in when I'm in town. Great coffee choices and service is always good. Food is also very good.

Delicious. Nice staff. Great coffee. Great Cuban sandwiches. I love this place. Gracias

Was driving up to St Augustine and was craving a good Cuban Sandwich when i spotted Paladar's. Needless to say my Dad and I lucked out when we came across this gem of restaurant. This was by far the best Cuban style cuisine i have ever tasted. The food was authetic, the atmosphere was pristine, and the staff were incredibly friendly. I would consider moving to St Augustine just for their Cuban Sandwiches alone. Cannot reccomend them more. If you ever get the chance stop in and you will not be disappointed. And did i mention its near the beach? read more

Food was really good! We ordered the ham & cheese empanada, chicken soup, rice with lechón and cilantro aioli. Everything was very tasty. Do yourself a favor and order the café con leche, it's the real deal! Service was also outstanding. We'll comeback again. read more

Phenomenal place! Food is delicious, wait time is perfect, very authentic, incredibly large menu, phenomenal ambience, and great staff. Have been here on several occasions. They every aspect of this business down to a science. Clearly focus on quality in every aspect of the business. I really hope they expand north of St. John's and Jacksonville. As Cuban, I can say this place is LEGIT! Wish I could give more stars!! read more

Heaven!! Everything we ate here - and we ate A LOT! - was delicious. Adorable cafe atmosphere and the staff was so friendly and kind! Highly recommend - worth the 10 minute drive off 95! read more
