What People Are Saying
from Google & Yelp"Awesome little breakfast cafe just off the beaten path in Saint Augustine. Decorated nicely and very clean. Our waitress was awesome- very attentive and professional. Plenty of parking and great food"
"Another 5 star experience. This little café is cutely themed around manatees and has a lot of fun and unique decor. Upon entering were always greeted with a smile! The coffee is good and hot and food is really good! I got the breakfast burrito and I was skeptical at first but the flavors are great together and I normally do not like avocado. I also got fruit as my side and I had plenty of food leftover as well! FYI the fruit is cut into the perfect bite sized pieces. The prices for the quality of food is great, definitely you can make it a habit to eat breakfast or lunch here daily. I mean, not too many places have low prices and give plenty of food to have leftovers. This place is a gem and wish it was closer to Jacksonville. If your visiting town stopping here for food is a great choice!"
"I used to love this place as one of my favorites in St Augustine to eat something healthy. I often ordered the pizza cause it was a full plate of fresh vegetables. It always reminded me more of a salad than a pizza. I used to call it: the salad with the flat bread under. But when I went yesterday, they covered the veggies with cheese. So no more freshness, just too much cheese that made me enjoy only one slice. And I was already full from all that cheese. I also got very disappointed about the cleanliness of the place. It used to be much cleaner. My silverware was sticky and had a piece of paper attached to the fork. The floor near the entrance had a roll of hairs attached to the chair I was sitting. And the cherry on top was a roach walking on the wall that another client saw too. I didn't call the manager and did not complain of anything cause I didn't want to make a scene, and it was late and hot outside and didn't feel like going somewhere else. My daughter came to visit from Orlando and I felt so bad that I gave her such a bad experience."
"This is my favorite restaurant in St Aug! I’ve been going here for 10+ years and it never disappoints. If you like healthy eats with lots of flavor and color, this is your place :) Good for gf, vegan, vegetarian and people who just enjoy good food. Alsooooo the owner is really personable, funny, and attentive."
"Manatee Cafe is a hidden gem!💎 Vegan, vegetarian and gluten free options. The atmosphere is so peaceful and welcoming, surrounded by manatee paintings and everything manatee! Love the simplicity of the decor. Service is impeccable and the servers are aware of dietary concerns. Very helpful. And then there’s the food! We opted for the tofu scramble/hash. So many wonderful flavors. Potatoes cooked perfectly and I had a side of grits with vegan cheese and plant butter. Coffee is great. Ideal breakfast and lunch place."
"Got their breakfast sandwich with an unsweetened tea and was pleasantly surprised they had gf bread! The sandwich was simple and light and the turkey..."
