Very nice store in St. Augustine which offers some really nice infused olive oils and vinegars…read more Best part is you can sample all the oils and vinegars before making a purchase. The staff is very helpful and will walk you through any questions you might have and even make recommendations. The store itself is very clean and organized. The signs on the tins of olive oils and vinegars have a pretty good description and even recommendations of how they can be used. This time I tried the fig balsamic and it was absolutely amazing. Took a bottle home for myself! Pairs great with caprese salads. Very good option for gifting to a foodie friend.

Even tried their most popular: Sunshine & St. Augustine Rose which were both a white balsamic vinegar that were unique and fantastic. They have a nice variety of merchandise. Such things as: pastas & sauce, stuffed olives, bbq sauces, jams, spread & other novelty goods & specialty pantry items. (see pics & video) Staff was helpful in finding items to bring home with me & that could go in my carry on luggage (also offer shipping). We bought several things for ourselves and several things as gifts for others. We also learned they do special pairings and post recipes on occasion if you follow them on Instagram too! The owners are extremely passionate and knowledgeable about their business. As well as choosing the best quality products for their customers. They have 4 locations in Florida currently. That is un-brine-lievable! Note-This shop offers in-store refills for customers who bring back their bottles which allows for a sustainable solution for returning customers. They also won "Best of St. Augustine" for Best Specialty Shop and Best Gift Shop 4 years in a row. Keep drizzling happiness like olive oil and best of luck for the 2026 award.

It has been a great method everywhere that I have lived. This venue is a blessing!! The owners are so friendly and welcoming. I called ahead of my visit this time, because I was on a mission to find Thai chili peppers. Score!!! I was getting desperate after going to a local "natural market", then Winn Dixie, and was I was almost going to go to a Thai restaurant to ask if I could buy some peppers off them. I called to PJ's and asked the owner and I lit up like a kid at Christmas time when she said "yes, I have them"! I immediately said that I was on my way! There's lots of parking spaces and it's easy to get in to the plaza from the road. Not only was it easy to find my prize, but it was so fun to look at all the delicious ingredients, treats, dishes, teas, and medicines. The refrigerators and freezers are full of Asian delectables and I was sooooo hungry and wanted everything! I had to limit myself for now because I was waiting for my next paycheck, but I still bought more than I should have!!!! Why ? Because I don't get to see these products at other local stores. I know that I always get my necessities/ essentials/ pantry must haves... but it is so hard not to get candies, teas, snacks, dishes, and cravings!!! I should not shop when I'm hungry... or did all these awesome products just make me hungry!!! I was feeling greedy for sure!!! I love this venue and I love the awesome lady sitting at the counter as she helped me pick out which package of pickled mangoes were better. And of course, I bought the one was her favorite!!! I love soaking up her wisdom!!!

So I was brought to this truck by the truck king himself Mark, to try it out! :) he never steers me wrong! We got a shrimp po boy, Cajun crawfish roll, and some beignets. What a treat!! The shrimp were nice big shrimp fried covered In a dill sauce, yum, tasted great. The Crawfish roll was actually my favorite, this was very similar to a lobster roll, but with crawfish in a mayo based sauce on a eggy kinda roll that was toasted on the outside. The crawfish had no tinge of funkiness, just fresh meat swimming in a nice slightly seasoned sauce. I could have eaten both easily! Lastly beignets! I rarely get to eat these, so I savored theses little fried pillows of yumminess!! You can pick a sauce to top them we got cinnamon roll, cinnamon and vanilla cream cheese sauces (?) yea you can't go wrong with fried dough! The people running this truck were wonderful, helpful and friendly! I would definitely eat here again next time I see them rolling by!

Awesome theme and…read morepaint job) To say the least I was excited recently to see it roll up on the Southbank in downtown Jax! To say the least I'm a big fan of bold, spicy flavors, and this restaurant on wheels delivers just that. I opted for the buttered crawfish dish ($12) which came exactly as advertised! Peeled and buttered crawfish tails served over a warm bed of white rice. There was a heaping pile of crawfish and in my opinion plenty for two people to share. I loved the subtle heat and spices that build as you work your way through the dish. The crawfish were tender and NOT over-cooked! There is no culinary sin greater than making rubberized shrimp, lobster and crawfish. The best part (of course) is the little bit of warm liquified butter that collects at the bottom of the dish with the rice. Yum. Enjoy that for some well-deserved peace in your life. I would certainly recommend asking for some hot sauce on the side in case you like it even a little spicier. Fear not, cash and credit cards (via Square) are accepted. I will certainly be back next time I see this flavor train roll into town!

It was a long day, we were tired we said "how bad could it be?" and relented. We are glad we did. This place is REMARKABLE. Ambiance? gorgeous. Vibes? impeccable. Food? I'm still thinking about it the next day. Our order.....wedge salad, beef tartare, mussels, wagyu hanger steak, mushrooms. A few glasses of Banshee and a few Goose martinis. The bill was a few hundred bucks which was, honestly, reasonable. Respectfully...Certain people should only be allowed to review certain types of places. OH! Natalia was our waitress she is top tier.

Tucked within the historic Casa Monica Resort, you immediately notice its stunning decor. The Spanish and Moroccan influences are present in every corner, from the intricate tile work and arched doorways to the warm, atmospheric lighting and authentic Moroccan accents. It provided a romantic backdrop that made our double celebration feel exceptionally special. The highlight of our visit, beyond the surroundings, was the outstanding service provided by our waiter, Widi. His attentiveness and professionalism elevated the entire meal, ensuring we felt welcomed and well-cared for from the moment we were seated. Widi's hospitality perfectly complemented the refined environment of the chophouse. As for the food, the weekend brunch was amazing. We thoroughly enjoyed the unique three-course format, which began with a shared chef's board featuring bites like monkey bread and candied bacon deviled eggs. For our main courses, we selected the classic Shrimp & Grits and Nutella, Bacon & Banana Crepes. We finished the celebration with bite-sized cookies and a bread pudding to go for my birthday. It was the perfect way to mark another year together
