Family stopped by for coffee while we were in town. Stopped in and it was nice to see a coffee roaster in the building. Store was laid out nice and had some fresh roasted coffee for sale. I have a vanilla latte and it was smooth and creamy. Wasn't very strong in flavor, bitterness or sweetness. Was very smooth simple and wonderful without being overpowering. If you are looking for bold, add another shot of expresso

I love the Kook! This St. Augustine Florida location rocks. Super chill, awesome coffee, treats and the baristas are always friendly. Be kind to yourself and get some coffee here. It’ll be a boost to your day!

The Aussie pies and vegan pastries are AMAZING... and so healthy,... your body will thank you for giving it real, natural, home-made, and nutritious food!

I love Kookaburra Coffee so much! The flavor and strength of their espresso really gets me going! I just love their aussie pies for a nice bite to eat. It's a tough decision between the Sweet Potato & Feta or the Veggie Coconut Curry pie when those are available, but there are many more to choose from! I enjoy the side of local datil pepper sauce offered with the pie so much I always ask for two! A slice of their Vegan Banana Nut Bread or a Vegan Pumpkin donut is a wonderful treat for my tastebuds. A good day for me truly starts at the Kookaburra. I like to share this place with friends who have never been. My day seems brighter with a 12oz or 16oz iced Honey Badger in hand!🐨

Update 5/30/2023:
I stopped in to this fav coffee shop of mine about 30 mins before closing. I was in the mood for a Hot Aussie, my current favorite coffee drink of theirs. When I also ordered a Veggie Coconut Curry Aussie pie from the few they had left from the day, I was informed it was half off its usual price! Yes! I never knew that after 4pm each day most, if not all of their pastry items and pies are 50% off. Wow. I am floored. I will certainly keep this in mind! I just adore their Vegan Banana Nut Bread and Vegan Pumpkin Donuts made in house every day! Unofficial Kook hack. You're welcome!!

Thanks Kookaburra. You rock the house in my eyes!

My favorite Kookaburra, although I've never been to one that isn't great. I love the barristas here especially. They are consistently above and beyond helpful and friendly.

The drinks are superb and I love the pastries way too much. Never had a bad scone or muffin.

Parking can be a little tricky due to the shape, but there is always ample even if you need to head around to the back through the gated opening.

Highly recommend.

For a local coffee shop chain, Kookaburra has figured out how to do things right and give the big chains a run for their money. The coffee is fresh and they have a great variety of drink options. Their baked goods are good too, especially the Aussie Pies. For those of you unfamiliar with Aussie Pies, like I was, they are small individual sized pot pie style baked goods. In the morning they call them Brekkies and they are similar to a quiche but with a top crust too. They have several flavors to choose from, but be sure to get there early or order ahead because they are baked fresh daily and they sell out fast. The same is true of their lunch pies, which on this trip we unfortunately missed out on because we didn't get there before they sold out. No worries though, because we will definitely be back.

Kookaburra was a delicious coffee spot! The barista was very patient with my mother and I, as we took forever to pick our drinks. The latte art in my mom’s coffee was lovely, and my iced drink was delicious! The lobby felt a bit under furnished, but we found a spot to read for an hour or so with no issue!

My favorite drink is the honey badger, My favorite treat is gf peanut butter chocolate chip muffin or a scone. I always pick up beans for my home brew. Hands down the best coffee house.
