"Went here for our anniversary brunch and had such a great experience! The owner Shahan was incredibly friendly, sweet, and hospitable. We felt so welcomed. Had great food, amazzingggg coffee, and great conversation! The blueberry cold brew was phenomenal! Their specialty food item was the Joburg Jam croissant and it was really yummy, they get the jam directly from South Africa! Not to mention they had halal chicken which was great for us. The owner bought a piece of England with him, with the decor. An amazing experience from the excellent service, delicious food, to the lovely, whimsical aesthetic. Definitely recommend and would be back if we’re in St. Augustine again!"

"I was blown away by the quality here. The tea was aromatic and perfectly steeped, the croissants were golden and crisp on the outside with a soft, buttery inside, and the desserts were beautifully presented and tasted even better. The flatbread was fresh, warm, and packed with flavor. You can tell they really care about what they serve. Highly recommend for anyone who loves great tea and pastries!"

"What a wonderful time my friends and I had enjoying lunch at The Modern Rose, a beautiful tea room. Two of us had the Creamy London lavender tea, lavender with vanilla and sweet almond foam. One friend had the caramel macchiato coffee. For lunch, two of us had the Marcia Flatbread with roasted turkey, melted brie, pesto, and roasted red peppers. One had their take on PB&J, a grilled Brioche with creamy peanut butter and bonne maman preserves, topped with fresh strawberries, blueberries, and powdered sugar. The food was delightful, the atmosphere and decor was charming. Eugene, our waiter, was engaging and attentive, he certainly elevated our experience. We met the owner, Melanie. She was so pleasant and congenial. We can't wait to go back and next time have High Tea. Reservations are recommended. We had reservations and had no wait."

"The Modern Rose was the perfect, quaint, personal experience we were wanting on our first meal out as Mr and Mrs. The amazing food was a huge bonus. From the beautiful Christmas decor, the personalized different coffee mugs and genuinely kind owners and staff, this experience deserves a 5 star rating across the board. They even played "Going to the Chapel" and brought us a delicious piece of cheesecake on a plate with the recipe for love printed on it, so..of course we had to finish it to read!!! Simple but special extras you just do not get anywhere else is what makes it. I highly recommend The Modern Rose if you are looking for a deliciously prepared, uniquely served, and sincerely kind staffed meal while in St. Augustine. Thank you for making our breakfast so special!!!"

"This is going to be my new brunch spot with all my friends!! The food was phenomenal - closest I have had in the states to Europe! We had the Venetian avocado toast, chocolate croissant, Mcgriddle Tower, & lotus bloom!! Every bite was like fireworks for your taste buds!!! The Banana Chia tea and Caramel crème brûlée tea were extraordinary! I will definitely be back for a tea party in the tea room!!!! Can’t wait!"
