La Taza Coffee & More

This is an adorable cafe in a very unremarkable shopping center. I had never really noticed it before but a friend suggested we meet here. The restaurant has tables but also some comfy chairs in the center. It is sparkling clean. I did not see the restroom. The owner greeted us promptly and gave us great service. The food was delicious. I ordered the salad and sandwich combo. The turkey and brie sandwich was on such fresh crusty bread. The combination of flavors with the fig spread and cheese plus the other ingredients had a terrific flavor profile. I also had a half salad with the dates and goat cheese. Bonus is all dressing comes on the side. You don't have to ask. My friend had the caprese sandwich. The portions are large. What you see on the plates is what we took home. I will definitely be back here soon.

Came here for a quick coffee pick up. The mocha and cafe con leche was solid. Also picked up a chicken empanadas and that was yummy ( adding the cilantro sauce elevated my empanadas). If we came for sit down lunch, I would have liked to try the soup of the day and any if the sandwiches/pannis. There is always a next time..::

I didn't love my food. The beef empanada and soup came out a bit too hot. I was too hungry to wait long, and burned my mouth a bit. My butiffara sandwich was tasty, but I prefer soft bread to this crusty (though tasty) stuff. My companion thought the bread was excellent. I wasn't a big fan of my lentil soup: I don't think carrots are a complementary flavor, and it tasted a bit thin. The corn chips with my companion's sandwich were a bit addictive. La Taza is only open for lunch five days, and they were virtually out of desserts by this Friday. I'd been hoping for the dulce de leche cheesecake I'd read about, but had to settle for a little cookie. It was two pieces of shortbread with dulce de leche in the middle. It was a bit addictive too, and I liked it enough that I might get it again. I liked the setting here: relaxed and a bit upscale. The toilet paper was cheap, however. There was only one person in the front of the house, so things were a bit slow, but he provided good service. I assume it was the owner. I'd try this place again, at least to check out the desserts earlier in the week.

I love this little cafe. The food is amazing and the owner is friendly and attentive.

Omg this place had great coffee and also such a yummy egg sandwich, i have never had one so light and refreshing tasting idk how to describe...it was simple but well done and fresh and it tasted so good with great texture from the toasted bread. It left me wanting more! I could tell it was made with care and love and I really appreciate it

This place is exceptional. I have family in St. Augustine and make a point to visit every time I'm in town. My husband and I are pretty snobby when it comes to food (being from Denver makes it hard not to!) and this place always delivers. It's very clean and a great atmosphere with lovely plants decorating the place.The owner is always warm and hospitable, with expedient service.This past visit we enjoyed the baked yuca, a beef empanada and the turkey & Brie sandwich. Delicious as always - thank you La Taza for always providing a top notch experience!

We have gotten takeout from La Taza and they never disappoint! I usually get the Triple Peruano because I love egg salad but this time I tried the De Jamon sandwich which has ham ,Swiss cheese and a yummy Ami pepper aioli on their delicious French bread. My daughter got the Pavo y Queso Brie - Turkey, Brie, and Granny Smith apples which she very much enjoyed! My husband got both a chicken and a beef empanada and the La Taza salad which was huge and had plenty of avocado! Everything is always so welll prepared and fresh!

Alberto, Alberto, how we love you! Stopped for coffee and found our way to heavenly empanadas and pastries! What a find! Been to St. Augustine many times, but just found this slice of heaven! Thank you for a wonderful dining experience! We will be back!

I stopped in for a quick lunch and was pleasantly surprised to find this jewel. I had a cortadito and a beef empanada. The coffee was divine, perfectly rich and creamy. The empanada was full of veggies and meat with great flavor. The crust was really tasty too. I will definitely be back to try the sandwiches which looked amazing. A lady dining near me said the soups are really good too.

This place exceeded my expectations! Super cute inside and very clean. The food was phenomenal and the gentleman who served me was so sweet and attentive. I will definitely be back soon!
