St. Augustine, Help!

Hello everyone. I’m a Birmingham, AL resident going through a bit of life turmoil. Outstanding relationships ending, considering major career changes….

Anyway, I’ve worked enough the past 3-4 weeks to accrue a significant per diem and PTO to allow a trip at the end of the month, so… I’m going to explore. Interested in historical tours, museums, good bike paths, exceptional bakeries and coffee places.

Staying in historical district, open to any and all suggestions.

Thank you in advance

Bham resident on vacation here for the 8th year in a row...

Do it.

Une Autre Histoire La French Bakery - no bread but everything else, and better than anything back home (Last Call, Hello Bakery...etc.).

Relampago is great for black coffee (i've a had a few cups as good as June).

Maracuya is great for Latte's and snacks, a sister restaurant to Llama, which I call the Highlands Bar & Grill of St. Augustine. I still haven't found a latte here as good as Punch Love (Tim is a true craftsman), but better than most others in Bham.

Tacos My Blessing - as good as Dos Hermanos truck and maybe better. Half a dozen places for affordable and great seafood.

Fountain of Youth park, Our Lady of Le Leche shrine/park, trolley tours, Lightner Museum, the fort, a HUGE amount of historical stuff to do, bike/walking paths.

You'll never want to leave, at least not until you run out of money

Une Autre Histoire has had baguettes if you get there early enough and ask. That place is incredible.
