We love to bring our family here for breakfast or lunch. While not all of their options are vegetarian, they have a large variety of yummy options for vegetarians. Our family favorites are the tofu scramble, spelt pancakes and avocado/tomato/cheese/sprouts sandwich.

If you are vegan,vegetarian or are gluten free, you'll find a good meal served here. Only open until 4pm & tucked in a shopping center, this was a great find. Excellent quality & flavor. Fresh ingredients, perfectly seasoned arrived at our table hot & perfectly prepared. We ordered Veggie Burritos & had a side salad-best burrito we ever had with... More

A friend recommended this place to us, and we decided to give it a try. It's a cool little spot cafe, lots of character. The menu was great, and the staff was VERY knowledgeable. We have a lot of different food allergies between us, and they made sure that everything worked for us. I got a big salad and a... More

If you are looking for great tasting, healthy food, this is the spot. We've been coming here for years and just love it. Don't let the vegan stuff or strip mall scare you away. This is a gem.

Our group of 5, a mix of vegans and omnivores, all enjoyed our lunch. Any item on the menu can be prepared vegan on request. I personally had the veggie burrito #1 and it was fantastic.They also serve breakfast.

Stopped in on a Saturday afternoon and the place was busy. The food was incredible. So many delicious choices for vegan/vegetarian diners. I recommend the red zinger iced tea, very refreshing. Our meals were delicious beyond explanation. The only downside to our meal was when someone from the kitchen came out to meet a guest and she had a VERY... More

Stopped in for lunch on our way through St. Augustine and were very pleased with our decision to stop. Our dinners were delicious. Servings were generous.. Lots of interesting choices for vegan meals. We will seek out the Manatee Cafe when we are in the area again.

After spending the morning at the touristy spots, we found this great little place for lunch. Flavorful, healthy, light fare - perfect for hot Florida temps. My omnivore family were all happily surprised with the selection and delicious choices. We were there early for lunch and got right in, but the place filled fast. A definate must for anyone with...

We were looking for a place to have a healthy breakfast while on vacation. On our last morning in St. Augustine we found this little gem of a place. We would have gone back several times if we had found it earlier. As I can't have gluten, eating here was a joy as many of the menu items could be... More
