St. Augustine’s Coffee Shop Crawl

Waking up in St. Augustine is always a treat – and grabbing an excellent cup of coffee makes it even better! Start your day off right with a delicious coffee from any of our favorite coffee shops and cafes, and maybe stay awhile, as many of these local haunts also offer delicious food, locally crafted beer and specialty wines as well.

Bar Citra

BAR CITRA, 3676 N Ponce De Leon Blvd., St. Augustine, FL 32084

One of the newest cafes north of town is BAR CITRA, coffee house by day and natural wine bar at night. With careful attention to sourcing, they serve coffee and an extensive tea menu, bread and pastries baked in-house, simple seasonal food and charming natural wines. Their house favorite coffees include a salted tahini latte, honey fig latte and cardamon cortado. With a full breakfast menu, a bar menu with snacks and starters and a dinner menu of dumplings, shrimp cocktail, pizza and more, BAR CITRA has it all. Stop in for a coffee, have a glass of wine or take a special bottle home. This welcoming and warm space invites you to linger anytime you’re in the neighborhood.

DOS

DOS Coffee & Wine, 300 San Marco Ave., St. Augustine, FL 32084

Located on the north end of downtown, DOS Coffee & Wine serves up your daily dose of hand-crafted lattes, cappuccinos, macchiatos and more – plus, they have one of the best selections of natural wine and local craft beer in cans (to be enjoyed in-house or at your own). They serve homemade baked goods, breakfast, sandwiches and salads in what was once an old auto repair shop and is now a warm wood-paneled coffee roastery and cafe. Roasting their own beans under the name Relámpago Coffee Lab, enjoy their beans inside or out on their sunny and shady patio. DOS also has a hidden gem of a cafe in the heart of downtown, under the Relámpago name, located on 74 Spanish Street.

Ragga Surf Cafe

Ragga Surf Cafe, 134 Riberia St., St. Augustine, FL 32084

Known for the good vibes and good eats, Ragga is a more recent addition to the St. Augustine lineup. Originally located on the ocean, they offer a surf-inspired menu, filled with vibrant foods and craft coffees. Their new home in historic downtown at the San Sebastian Marina sits right on the water, where everything is scratch-made, including beautiful latte syrups including the honeycomb with cinnamon, sea salt caramel and mocha. They serve their own locally-roasted coffee in a classic drip, pour over, cold brew, cortados, capps and lattes. For non-coffee drinkers, grab a matcha, hot chocolate, Grammy’s Sweet Tea or their seasonal, fresh-squeezed lemonade.
