On St George St in downtown St Augustine is the best quaint cafe that serves a variety of coffee, smoothies, milkshakes, gelato, crepes, sandwiches and salads. Today we stopped in for gelato and it was sooo delicious! I recommend getting the medium size and they will accommodate 2 flavors! I ordered the wild berry and grapefruit! My son had key lime pie and mango. My daughter got hazelnut and toasted marshmallow! They had a huge selection of gelato! Everything is beautifully displayed! All blends were A+! I will try the pistachio next time. I observed they didn't add food dyes which is nice. They also had a cannoli creme crepe that looks amazing! There's a nice chill vibe here. It feels relaxing to step off the busy St George and enjoy a desert. I highly recommend as they make everything homemade.

I told my friend I was going to be in St. Augustine for the day and asked her for dessert recommendations. She raved about this place so my boyfriend and I went. It is a mixture between a restaurant and gelateria, and the atmosphere is kind of like a pub! Anyway the gelato WOWWWWWWWW it was so good!! The lady behind the counter was so nice and let us have as many samples as we wanted! I eventually settled on hazelnut because it's typically my favorite and it was everything I wanted it to be!! My boyfriend got the chocolate hazelnut and that was also super yummy!! Another honorable mentions is the pistachio! Next time we're in St. Augustine again, we will definitely be getting more gelato from here!!

Creamy, fantasy-inducing, rich, tasty, dreamy, delightful, mouthwatering..... the gelato here is OUT OF THIS WORLD! It's a tiny place: good for a quick stop (especially for cooling down from the hot FL weather). The owners are very attentive! Try the pistachio flavor in a waffle cone! You'll savor every bite!

Stopped in for a hot chocolate and cappuccino. There was a bit of a line. There is a gelato counter inside as well as food. Prices were steep.

Absolutely love their chocolate gelato. Their vanilla is also anther favorite. Their gelato is homemade and delicious.

Gotta dust the ceilings, my dudes.Haven't eaten any food yet. Unsweetened ice tea tastes like nothing.

I have come here over the years for over a decade and have loved it. Except for now....if I could give it zero stars I would. The gelato had no flavor was like mild flavored ice and the cone would not even stay in tact to hold it. Paid $16 for two cones we threw in the trash! May as well saved the money and gotten McDonalds soft serve. So disappointed in this place!

Amazing fresh cannoli and gelatos. Friendly staff. Quick service. Great St Augustine shop atmosphere. Highly recommended.
