    Front counter ordering area
    Rebecca A.

    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

    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

    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!

    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

    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!

    Potatoes..... yummy

Therefore, this gets a long wait for breakfast/brunch. It's hard to get a parking spot but there's free parking across the street. They have a big waiting area next to the restaurant which is definitely needed as we ended up waiting like 45 minutes around 9:30 am on a Saturday. The food was definitely worth the wait though. I got the burrito smothered with sauce and cheese and the flavor was fantastic. Flavorful but not super spicy or anything. It's also HUGE. Highly recommend. Service is a little questionable, if it was quicker they could probably help with their long wait. It was hard to flag down our girl when we needed something & it took ages to get to check.

The service showed a real lack of knowledge and attentiveness. When I ordered whole milk for my coffee, the response was essentially "is half and half okay?" -- no, it is absolutely not okay. These are completely different in taste and calories, and it's not a reasonable substitute to casually suggest. What made it worse: oat milk, almond milk, and whole milk were all visibly sitting in the fridge right there from where I was seated at the bar. Zero effort to offer what was clearly available. The atmosphere didn't help either. The space feels like someone started building a café concept and never finished thinking it through. It's uninviting, disorganized, and oddly off -- not warm, not designed with the customer in mind. Nothing about the food, the presentation, or the space gives you a reason to choose this place over anywhere else. Not particularly tasty, not nicely decorated, not a vibe. Not sure what keeps people coming back, honestly.

The parking nearby is 2 hour on side streets, but if you need a parking garage there's one not too far. I highly recommend ordering a French press of coffee! It's very delicious! You will get 3 cups of high quality coffee to share at the table or have all to yourself. As far as dining al fresco, the front courtyard is beautiful! However, on our trip it was too cold to dine outside. We were seated at a large table inside that accommodated our large group. They had several tables inside, but I could see on a busy Sunday or Saturday morning this place would get waitlisted quickly. Everyone loved their meals. No complaints. I ordered the lobster roll. It was very good, but I would try something different on a return visit. The salads coming out looked amazing! Everyone at my table raved about their meals: Shukshuka, BALT, Benedicts, cinnamon rolls. Every single thing was enjoyed!

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.
