Cuban coffee
Welcome to Cuban Coffee, a cozy café nestled at 18 Magnolia Ave in the heart of St. Augustine, FL. This delightful spot is not just a place to grab your caffeine fix; it's a vibrant community hub where the aroma of freshly brewed coffee mingles with the charming ambiance of Florida’s historic backdrop.
Cuban Coffee specializes in rich, bold flavors that pay homage to its namesake. Signature offerings include an exceptionally smooth cortadito and the invigorating Cuban espresso shot that has become a local favorite. Customers rave about the iced chai and frozen lemonade as well, which provide refreshing alternatives on warm days, perfect for enjoying in the picturesque outdoor seating area.
The atmosphere here is undeniably inviting, characterized by colorful decor and a warm, welcoming vibe. Patrons frequently mention the friendly staff, adding to the overall experience. Recent reviews highlight the genuine interactions you'll find — like the barista who makes an effort to connect with customers, ensuring everyone feels at home. As one customer, Mari Santos, commented, "The guy working was so nice and came out and shook our hands after talking about the place for a bit."
While the coffee steals the show, the café also offers unique merchandise, including charming t-shirts that showcase local art, allowing you to take a piece of St. Augustine home with you. However, there are notes of caution as well: some visitors have voiced concerns over the quality of non-coffee items such as pastries, suggesting a preference for more locally sourced, homemade options instead.
In summary, Cuban Coffee stands out not just for its remarkable brews but also for its emphasis on community and connection. If you're stopping by St. Augustine, this cafe is a must-visit. Bring a friend, soak in the beautiful outdoor scenery, and enjoy the best coffee around. You might just find yourself returning for more than the flavors — it’s about the experience, too, as noted by Shay Beech, who said, "Kara, the barista, has an amazing personality and was super inviting! Will be back!!”
