    Oj and hot coffee
    Martha G.

    Did not disappoint. What a great find. Small place with big flavors. Very clean, friendly service. We had a great meal and great coffee. Strongly recommend. And a favorite with the locals.

    Carne Asada Burrito + Cold Brew w/ Oatmilk
    Sofia P.

    The sweetest staff and not to mention amazing food!!! I got the carne asada burrito without cheese and usually in a breakfast place that isn't my go to whatsoever. This burrito was delicious and had such amazing flavor I would 1000% get again! I also got a cold brew as well one of the ladies was nice enough to help me out with adding oat milk into it. You pretty much do it yourself when it comes to the coffee, it turned out to be delicious with a splash of oat milk and 3 pumps of vanilla syrup! You pretty much order your food up front and then find a seat, your food will be brought over to you when ready. The place itself is so cute and homey! I personally love it but I get how it may not exactly be for everyone. When I'm back in town I will definitely be back here without a doubt! I appreciate you all at The West Egg!!! :)

    Once again Yelp steered me in the right direction! This is literally a little hole in the wall( which I love!) super tiny, but we were able to sit at the counter and eat our meal. This is nothing but fabulous home cooking! There were two chefs cooking right in front of us the entire time and they did not miss a beat. I got the pimento cheese chicken sandwich and it was everything I wanted it to be! My fiancée got the Spanish breakfast bowl and he thought it was great! We also shared an extra biscuit with the cinnamon butter based on the reviews we read on Yelp and it did not disappoint! We would visit again when in the area for sure.

    What a cute local spot with excellent breakfast choices. Fried chicken biscuit was amazing. Will go back when we are in St. Augustine.

    Man on Man this is definitely a staple in the city! My husband and I were definitely impressed with this place. I knew this place would be tasty as every single review I read it was 5 stars. Everyone was super friendly and ready to help. The sandwiches omg really were ahhhhmazing the flavor ummmhmmmm hit every single spot. When I bring my family back we will be making our drive here. Please make sure if you come check your clock as their hours are Wednesday through Sunday 8am-12noon so don't go there and it's closed. Look at the meats in that sandwich * hush yo mouth and take a bite* yum

    Carné Asada Hash
    Kristi M.

    Bowl was deliciously delicious! Hash was soft&crispy, steak tender&juicy, The Homemade Biscuits are OUT OF THIS WORLD, and I'm NOT even intoxicated! That Cinnamon Butter Spread on that biscuit made directly from The Most Highs Hands, amplified the entire experience. As I was eating, all I can hear in my mind was this song from a TikTok video, "Taste the biscuit, Taste the goodness of the biscuit"! Mari GREAT Customer service and conversation! Jeff and Drew y'all made it "do what it do" back there in that Magical Kitchen

    Carne Asado Hash
    Debra S.

    We are always on the look out for new places and this tiny little spot just opened a few weeks ago. Tucked away between Sweet City bakery and Muffs. Although new, this breakfast and lunch spot has a very experienced chef. If you like Back Forty, the Blue Hen, and a bunch of other local spots you will enjoy this menu. We sat up at the counter but there is also a few tables out front. The service is fast and friendly. My husband went for the Buttermilk Chicken Cordon Blue Sandwich. We watched the chef dip this beautiful chicken breast in a homemade buttermilk batter and flash fry it. This sandwich was layered with the chicken, grilled ham, cheese and a Datel pepper sauce. Hubby ate it so fast I didn't even get a bite! He said it was delicious!!! I went for the Carne Asado hash. It was a perfect combination of seasoned pulled beef, caramelized onions, and potatoes. Layered on top was fresh salsa, plenty of slice avocado, and a perfectly cooked over easy egg. I can't wait to get back and try another creation.

    BLT and I believe a ham and cheese on Texas toast. Fresh and delicious!
    Anna V.

    We arrived nine minutes till close and they were SO accommodating:) I was Really excited to try a new breakfast/brunch spot in St.Aug and Wow did it Hit The Spot;p The restaurant was clean, the staff were kind, and our food was Fresh. We sat outside to eat, which was Wonderful. I had fresh arugula and tomato on my sandwich and the quality was astounding. Also, the datil hot sauce that we were given was Amazing. The Perfect addition to my BLT egg sandwich. The Perfect amount of heat without being spicy. The egg was fluffy, bacon crispy/ meaty, and the bread was fluffy and all together delicious. Highly recommend

    Chicken cordon bleu with a fried egg
    Jennifer L.

    My husband and I visited for the first time and we loved it! They serve breakfast bowls, Sandwiches and burritos. It is a great place for a quick breakfast. It was so nice outside we were able to sit and enjoy the weather. The staff although busy were so nice. The sandwiches are big and filling. They are not your typical breakfast sandwiches which was the appealing part for us. The only thing I would have changed is getting my sandwich on a biscuit, but my breakfast was still delicious! We are always looking for something different. We will definitely be back!

My husband wanted to order additional beverages, but it took quite a while for our server to return. The ambiance, though, was lovely. The patio, strung with lights, added a festive, holiday charm to the evening.

The combination of imaginative cocktails, exceptional food, and a unique atmosphere makes every visit memorable. The cocktail program is outstanding. We enjoy trying a variety of their exotic and inventive drinks, and they never disappoint. The flavors are bold, creative, and unlike anything you'll find at a typical restaurant bar. The Yellow Submarine cocktail is quite possibly the best drink I have ever consumed. Made with curry-infused Bermuda black rum, lime, ginger, and Asian five-spice brown sugar syrup, it sounded unusual on paper but came together beautifully. I enjoyed it so much that I ordered four of them that evening, something I rarely do. That was three years ago, and despite returning several times since then, I have never seen it on the menu again. The food is equally impressive. Two years ago, I ordered the Skillet Roasted New York Strip served with Yukon Gold potato-anna, roasted asparagus and spring onions, watercress, and black truffle hollandaise. To this day, it remains one of the top five restaurant meals I have ever eaten. Every component on the plate was exceptional. The steak was perfectly prepared, the crispy potato galette was irresistible, and the black truffle hollandaise elevated the entire dish to another level. It was the kind of meal that stays with you long after the plate is cleared. I would gladly drive 300 miles just to eat it again. Most recently, I had the wild mushroom bisque, and it was the best soup I have ever consumed. Rich, creamy, buttery, intensely mushroomy, and perfectly balanced, it was everything a mushroom soup should be. The addition of crispy pickled onions and crème fraîche added texture and contrast that made an already outstanding soup even better. My wife and I enjoyed it so much that we returned the very next day hoping to order it again, only to discover it had already rotated off the menu. My only complaint about The Ice Plant is that some of their greatest creations seem to disappear as quickly as they arrive. While I appreciate the constantly evolving menu and understand that seasonal changes are part of what makes the restaurant special, there are certain items that deserve a permanent home. The Yellow Submarine cocktail, the wild mushroom bisque, and the Skillet Roasted New York Strip with black truffle hollandaise are three of the finest things I have experienced there. The fact that I can vividly remember one of these items from three years ago and another from two years ago says everything. Great restaurants serve good food. Truly special restaurants create dishes and drinks that stay with you for years. The Ice Plant has done that for me more than once, and that is why we continue to return whenever we visit St. Augustine.

The Bloody Mary is where it lost me. $15 is a serious price for a cocktail, and mine arrived as a tall glass of ice with what was left over poured around it. By the time I was a few sips in, it was mostly meltwater. For that money I'd expect the drink to outlast the ice. Suggestion for the house: given the name, lean into it. Send everyone home with a free bag of ice -- at least then I'd feel like I paid for something I got to keep. Would go back for the food. Would think twice before ordering another cocktail.
