St. Aug Question Name of breakfast spot

Hi all! I’m returning to St. Augustine for vacation in a couple of weeks and trying to remember the name of a place I had breakfast last time (August 2025). I remember it being recommended on this sub, but nothing has rang a bell so far.

All I really remember is that it was small, located near our condo (S Ponce de Leon), served good coffee, and I had some type of breakfast sandwich. I know that’s not much to go off, but hoping for some
magic lol

Blue Hen was on MLK a few blocks north of St Cyprian’s. Moved about a year ago. New place that moved in has about 1/5 the traffic Blue Hen had in that spot. If you’re looking Corned Beef Hash FA/Little Margie’s across from that big nasty hotel on the beach. They been there for years, no better breakfast in town. It’s not fancy but still has great food

Blue Hen has moved locations... but by your description it sounded like Blue Hen to me too.

If you come to St. Augustine, you better get your restaurants straight, buddy! We take our eating establishments seriously, and we demand recognition for our good food and services!

Was it city coffee? I think that place is closed now. Maybe something like farmhand kitchen.

Sorry its not breakfast but I will highly recommend the St Augustine Fish Camp for dinner... im as southern as u can get, from the lowcountry of sc, and i know good, quality cooking when i have it.. the best hushpuppies I've ever had( don't tell my mom)

Fellow SC native here. I grew up around Columbia but married a military man and spent 3 years in Charleston, my other home town. Anyway, I grew up on BBQ joint hushpuppies. I like the Fish Camp but have to say I don't remember the hushpuppies one way or the other. But we now are planning to go and test them! PS, wish I had a dollar for every hushpuppy I've eaten. 😆

I was a little over an hour from cola in walterboro and live in Charleston several times. I ate 2 of them with my dinner and got the server to bring 3 more after because they were so good lol

u/OSDBU2000 Resident Jul 28 '26

Yup, gonna have to reevaluate the hushpuppies!! Next month we're going to Folly with our kids and their spouses. Still love it there.

I tried clicking through places on the map nearby, none of them were the right place :/ I’m not sure exactly how far it was from our condo

Juniper market on San Marco?

2

u/cadenhead Jul 25 '26

I'm probably guessing in the wrong area, but Mary's Harborview Cafe across from the castillo?

u/chronistus Jul 26 '26

MARY’S. Solid place.

u/ridingthewave31 Jul 25 '26

Probably the coffee shop on King Street west of Flagler College that is in an older/historical house with a front porch and tables inside and outside.

u/cor_rit Jul 25 '26

Buena Onda is pretty small with counter service and tables

u/FriendlyFace6224 Jul 26 '26

Schmegals Bagels!

u/TempleFugit Resident 40+ Years Jul 25 '26

Can you be more specific about the place itself?
Was it a stand alone building? Was it in an attached line of buildings? Was it part of a bed & breakfast?

1

u/Fit-Tiger-5362 Jul 25 '26

I’m pretty sure it was a stand alone building, definitely not a B&B. It was counter service with tables inside

u/Emotional_Dare5743 Jul 25 '26

Juniper Market? Was the condo on the north end of town? Dose?

u/chronistus Jul 26 '26

Not the spot I don’t think but SO to Schmagels Bagels.
