Great little place in heart of downtown. The “Great White” bagel we had was delicious on a cheddar bagel. Toasted Coconut Honey latte was also a treat. Cool artwork all around and lots of coffee specials to come back and try!
A great place for a coffee or a cold lemonade!
The iced latte needs zero sugar or flavor to be EPIC! Gallery of artwork throughout and beyond the cafe portion of the shop. Service: The barista remembered me and what I'd previously ordered. All-around impressive experience. The locals are fortunate to have this place.
Caramel latte was delicious! Great place for a quick coffee and breakfast sandwich.
We just love this coffee shop! The owner and staff could not be any nicer or more welcoming! Great coffee and amazing bagels. The owner is always so sweet and brings our dog bacon & water. Thank you!!
Very good people and even better food and coffee. Family owned and service is always a pleasure. Give them a try and support your local business. Love this place
Great food and environment. The staff was very friendly and happily accommodated our large party.
We went out to breakfast on a Sunday to the Sweetwater Coffee Bar and Gallery. For drinks, we ordered peach tea and a marshmallow latte. For breakfast we decided on the Bikini Bottom Special with eggos waffles, fresh strawberries, blueberries, bananas, whipped cream, and honey-vanilla cream cheese. We also ordered the Eggel Bagel with bacon on an everything bagel. The drinks, food, and service were all amazing! The Bikini Bottom special was the pièce de résistance! It was decadent and fresh at the same time. We also enjoyed the gallery; we met the artist, Sloan Keats, who was excited to share her amazing art and the stories behind it with us. The whole experience was wonderful.
Great food, excellent service! I had a chicken salad sandwich and it was huge. Delicious chicken piled on top of fresh spinach and tomatoes.
First time visit. You’re within walking distance from me. Awesome latte and the honey vanilla cream cheese is amazing! Glad you’re close by!!
Service was super fast. Food was very good. Staff was over the top helpful. Well run business.
Fabulous coffee and food. Bonus - an Art Gallery too with beautiful pieces for purchase. Family owned with outstanding service.
Huge salad. Great salad! I'm not a fan of salads. Priced for college kids.
I have lived in st aug my entire life and only just discovered this gem. Located in the heart of downtown, sweetwater coffeebar and gallery exceeds expectations by a mile. Idk who is in the back cooking, but the need a raise. Everything is made with love and comes out crispy, hot, and delicious. It has become a weekly breakfast spot for me. 100/10 recommend.
Great service and food. Staff is helpful with any questions you have about St. Augustine. Artwork and interior is nice as well
Last year (May ‘22), my wife and I enjoyed a lovely stay at the Casa Monica. Laura and I are early birds, so when we were ready for a 7AM coffee, the only option we could find via Yelp was Sweetwater Coffee Bar and Gallery, across the street. We fell in love instantly, and continue to make the spontaneous 35 minute drive periodically from our home in RiverTown. The charm, where an art gallery meets a coffee and breakfast joint, provides instant comfort. Sweetwater is a family-owned and ran establishment as the father Mike oversees the kitchen for the restaurant that displays his wife and daughter’s artistic creations. The coffee flavors are just as impressive as the art hanging from the walls and ceiling. But my favorite characteristic of this restaurant, being a bigger guy, is the size of the scrumptious sandwiches- Easily the best BLT I’ve ever had, and I enjoyed it on a jalapeño and cheddar bagel! As we sit at our two-top by the window, every guest who walks in the door is greeted as if they are long, lost relatives. Many are known by name! Some of the Flagler Track and Field Team visited for breakfast today, and we overheard Mike saying that he had been in the kitchen since 6AM, making breakfast for the Flagler Volleyball Team. Customer service, supporting local, and sense of community is what I love to see! As Laura and I left this morning, we even discussed how visiting Sweetwater for breakfast and coffee instantly puts us in a great mood for the rest of the day. Visit ASAP for your instant-good-mood-guarantee 🤗
We love the staff and they have excellent coffee and food!
Great food and coffee and one of the only places in St. Augustine with reasonable prices.
Absolutely love this place. My husband and I go to Flagler College and regularly stop by here. The food is awesome. I always gets an everything bagel with veggie cream cheese and my hubby always gets the Nova. The staff there is beyond friendly. This place is a MUST try if you are visiting or a regular in St. Augustine.
Rode up to St Augustine to do some shopping and have dinner with a group of friends on the motorcycles. We wanted to stop somewhere for a light snack and some caffeine before we hit the shops to tide us over before dinner. This spot looked like it fit the bill, pulled up to the front of the shop on the street and backed our 6 bikes into a parking spot. Before everyone had even gotten off our bikes, the presumed owner came storming out of the shop and yelled at us apparently for being too loud as his comment was "Keep it down! I'm trying to run a business here!" and he stormed back into the shop. Everyone in the group just looked at each other and agreed, this was not a place we were going to spend our money. Terrible customer service before we even got in the door. I'm assuming this "owner" thought we weren't coming into his shop so didn't take into account he was losing business. Or he assumed bikers don't spend money. His loss. News flash, Harley riders (who buy $30K+ motorcycles) love spending money on food and drinks for local establishments who are welcoming. Ask this owners competition who we spent plenty of money at. Stay away from this place if you are a motorcycle rider. Not our people.
