    Austin B.

    Everytime I come here I'm amazed at how friendly, clean and quick my visits are! I usually get here relatively close to opening and it's pretty empty. Today there was a few people but it was my turn before I knew it. I ordered my iced Kookaburra and a green goddess and the order was given to me on less than 5 minutes, it was that quick! The staff is always friendly and they have given me their insights on what they do and don't like so I like they're not pushing drinks just to sell them. The Kookaburra coffee is one of the greatest things I've drank. The coffee is perfectly brewed and everything flavor wise blends well together! I've had their Aussie pies for breakfast before and they are cooked nicely as well. The egg is always cooked great and the seasonings they use are wonderful! The prices here a little bit more than a regular coffee shop but it's understandable because it's a nice little café with artisinal coffees, teas and bites. They also sell wine here but I've never had it so I got to try it in the future. They have multiple locations but this one is my favorite! I can't wait to be back in the area to get more coffee from here again!!!

    Veggie Curry Pie

    The best coffee! The Peppermint Mocha was fantastic. The Veggie Curry Pie was also delicious.

    Thai chicken curry Aussie pie
    Christina O.

    First time here and wow wish we had one of these in Miami. First off, probably the nicest staff I've ever encountered. They make the space feel safe for all. The Thai curry Aussie pie was SO yummy loaded with creamy vegetables and chicken. The lemon blueberry bread was not too sweet, has whole blueberries, and not too filling

    Excellent Aussie meal...... excited
    Leanne M.

    Ordered the meat pie. It was good. The pastry was flakey. The filling was dry and needed more gravy. Adding tomato sauce helped ease the dry of the filling Loved the Bundy ginger beer Staff were super friendly

    Green Goddess and mocha nut iced
    Madison L.

    Stopped by The Kookaburra for some drinks on our way to the beach and it was a great stop! I got the green goddess and the mocha nut iced. I also picked up an Aussie meat pie. The store had a great vibe and the staff was wonderful. Our drinks were made quickly and tasted great! I especially loved the green goddess with its flavors of jasmine and coconut. I ate my meat pie on the beach and it was the bomb! The pastry was rich and the meat filling was tomato-y and hearty. So delicious! This is a new must see for us when we visit St. Augustine!

    DO NOT RECOMMEND THEIR CHAI LATTE! It's way watered down. So gross. On the other hand, their muffins are good.

Breakfast-forward this new shop is a great exemplification of how simple can be delicious. I was in search of parking for a coffeehouse down the road that didn't offer any free parking near its location (of course, because we're in st. Augustine right?). I came into the parking lot with the intention to walk over but something pulled me in. A quiet shop with free parking and few patrons inside off of king street? I had to be the first to try. I ordered french toast and a dirty chai that both came with a generous amount of sweet sugary and cinnamon goodness. After devouring my breakfast-dessert, I wanted to try something savory: a scrambled with home fries and corn beef hash. Make no mistake, I was already full, but that bowl topped it off perfectly. Leaving me so satiated all I could do was enjoy the music, the other customers and my chai. A successful morning made by supporting a small business with accessible parking. Go here.

There are other animals in the experience, including a floppy ear bunny, a loud parrot (that bites so don't touch!) and a few other animals. They are great in keeping the kids distracted before the main capybara event. We had a really fun time.

Seeing a 4.9 rating honestly made me pretty skeptical becuase usually places that hyped never live up to it. But wow... this one actually did. I'm pretty sure my 5 stars are gonna help push this place to a full 5.0 The design itself is cute but not exactly perfection, and the checkout line process could definetly be smoother during busy times. BUT the food... thats where this place absolutley shines. The Arepas Special with the corn pancakes filled with eggs, avocado and tomatoes was an absolute BEAST. Fresh, flavorful and super satisfying. Then the Avocado Toast with the sweet pumkin pieces just blew the rest of our taste buds out the window. Such a weird combo on paper but somehow worked sooo good. And finishing it all with a Cafe con Leche and a blueberry scone just put the final dot on this breakfast experiance. It honestly didnt feel like "just breakfast" it felt like an experiance you remember later. Big shoutout to Huhny for a human she is! She absolutley knocked it outta the ballpark with recommendations, brought everything fast to the table, and you could really feel the passion and positive energy she delivered Thank you team, we'll 100% be back next time we visit your cool town St. Augustine.
