The few tables inside were taken so we enjoyed our choices outside in the sun. This ice cream was excellent, not your run-of-the-mill typical ice cream. It's advertised as small batch ice cream made with premium ingredients and that's exactly how it tastes. As a sweet tooth satisfier it definitely hit the spot!

We were rather surprised to find a restaurant in Saint Augustine that specializes in ... grilled…read morecheese sandwiches! One would think there's not much you can do with a grilled cheese sandwich, but the Grilled Cheese Gallery proves that assumption wrong. There are 13 amazing and creative choices of grilled cheese here. Don't like grilled cheese? They also serve salads, poutine, mac & cheese grilled sandwiches, ice cream and other desserts. This is Comfort Food headquarters! There were actually so many choices it was hard to choose. I chose A Night in Amsterdam: Gouda, Gruyere, Swiss, Cheddar, on Artisan White. My wife had The Queen Brie: House cured bacon, French Brie, Raspberry Puree, Balsamic on Sourdough. My Amsterdam was quite a creation: three slices balanced on a pedestal with cheese trailing down more than a foot. It was delicious! My wife lauded her Queen Brie as well. We wish we had more time in Saint Augustine as this place is definitely worth a second visit.

We were…read moretired and a little hangry when we walked in, and thankfully, everyone in the group loved this place! We ordered: the Amsterdam, the Artist, the Queen Brie, and the Classic (2 sandwiches). Three of us upgraded to a small cup of tomato soup (each order comes with a mini cup for dipping). I was the lucky person who ordered the Amsterdam, which, much to our surprise and delight, was served on a hook with melted cheese stretching down to the tray it was served on. Everyone had to take a photo of my sandwich! It contained a variety of cheeses, so while the taste was fairly classic, it was a bit more nuanced than the Classic sandwich, which only had cheddar cheese. Everyone else thought their sandwiches were delicious too. And we all loved the homemade tomato soup! I tend to be a bigger fan of creamy tomato soups, but this one was rich with umami flavor and had a bit of a kick. While this is a counter-service restaurant that's pretty much no-frills, the employees were friendly and helpful. One of them refilled our water cups at the table, even though the pitcher she had was leaking, and I didn't get the sense that they normally did that. Sadly, they don't sell soft serve ice cream any more, but there are so many ice cream shops in this part of St. Augustine that you can easily walk somewhere else for dessert (which we did). The place wasn't crowded on a Friday evening and had lots of menu choices, so if you like grilled cheese sandwiches, whether creative or simple, be sure to stop by the Grilled Cheese Gallery on your visit to St. Augustine!

The Hyppo - Popsicle Paradise with Personality (5/5) If you're strolling through St. Augustine and don't stop at The Hyppo, you're missing out on a frozen flavor adventure. This isn't your average popsicle shop--it's a boutique of bold, handcrafted pops that dazzle the palate and spark joy. I had the pleasure of being guided by Roscoe, who was not only knowledgeable but genuinely passionate about the pops. He walked me through the flavor lineup like a sommelier of frozen treats--highlighting combos I never would've considered but now need to try next time. Despite his stellar recommendations (seriously, Roscoe deserves a flavor named after him), I followed my cravings and went with the Peanut Butter Pie--bonus dipped and chocolate-coated. And let me tell you: WOW. Creamy, decadent, and perfectly balanced. The chocolate shell added just the right snap, and the peanut butter base was rich without being overpowering. The Hyppo's flavors are wildly creative--think mango habanero, strawberry basil, or champagne pear. But what makes this place elite-worthy is the vibe: warm service, playful presentation, and a commitment to quality that shines through every bite. Whether you're a local or just passing through, this is a must-stop. Ask for Roscoe, trust the process, and treat yourself to something unforgettable. read more

I tried The Hyppo Gourmet Food Truck at the Sing Out Loud Festival, and it was such a treat! I went for the Bomb Pop, and honestly, it was amazing--so refreshing and packed with flavor. The texture was perfect, and you could really tell it was made with quality ingredients rather than just being overly sweet. The staff was friendly, the truck was easy to spot, and the line moved quickly even with the crowd. It was the perfect festival snack--fun, colorful, and delicious. Definitely recommend grabbing a pop from The Hyppo if you see their truck out at an event. I'll be keeping an eye out for them again! read more

We were able to sample some cookies and sampled their strawberry limeade which was quite yummy. The place itself is extremely adorable and IG worthy with the cutest decor and merch! Got myself a slice of that key lime pie and slid in to pie heaven. It's the perfect amount of tartness and soooo creamy. Highly recommend making a stop here when visiting St. Augustine.

Key lime pie is my favorite dessert. Earlier in the week, my husband and I were in the historic district on Monday, but unfortunately they were closed, so we didn't get the chance to stop in. Yesterday was our 12th anniversary, so after enjoying a homemade dinner, we made a special trip downtown to pick up a slice of pie for dessert. One thing I absolutely loved was that customers are able to sample everything--from the cookies to the different pie flavors. That was a wonderful touch and made the experience feel welcoming. I also appreciated the fun nod to the famous Key West chickens, which brought back memories of the island. One disappointment was that, unlike the original Key West location, this St. Augustine shop does not offer a locals discount. I know for a fact that the Key West stores do, and it would be a nice addition here, especially for those of us who live in the area. As for the pie, the original Key lime pie was absolutely delicious. However, I wasn't a fan of the coconut or strawberry flavors. My biggest concern, though, is the price. Paying $6 for a single slice of pie feels excessive, especially when you also have to pay to park just to visit the store in the historic district. Overall, I enjoyed the original pie and appreciated the opportunity to sample the products, but the combination of high prices and paid parking makes it difficult to justify returning. If they were to introduce a locals discount like stores in Key West offer, I would gladly give them another visit.

Shortly after, we went back inside to see if it was ready, it was. We had it bagged up "for to go". We took it back to our BNB place to enjoy the pretzel. Here's why they get minus two stars. It was so skinny and small! I thought it was a joke. But, while I was in the restroom washing up, the lady told Ernie, "I tried to find the biggest one in the bunch". So, it's out of her control. I blame this on the Owner, who ever he or she might be. If you're going to charge $5.00 or more for a pretzel, serve a decent one please! I will come back, but not for a pretzel. Maybe for a cup of hot java or another drink. Pros:excellent employee, plenty of shade and tables and chairs to sit down at. Cons: a pretzel that is microscopic.
