Australian-American Coffee Shop

If you have a Polaroid of your pup to spare, you’ll want to bring it with you before visiting this dog-friendly café. Kookaburra Coffee in St. Augustine has a vertical beam at the center of its café, showcasing customers’ dogs! This Australian-American coffee shop captures the essence of the beach, transporting you to a seaside escape without ever leaving your seat. Outdoor seating is available, filled with charming wooden tables. You can also order their newest coffee bean offering in the shop or purchase it online! Kenya Nyeri has a taste of Crisp Apple and Champagne.

Aussie Drinks!

With a menu bursting with vibrant varieties, it was hard to resist sampling every drink they had! Kookaburra Coffee offers a Turbo Menu (which has limited offerings!), Coffee, Espresso, Signatures, Non-Coffee, Beer Menu, and Wine Menu. They also have several sweets for purchase, such as Aussie Pies and Vegan Brownies. During my visit, the Turbo Menu contained the drinks: Drip Coffee, Ice Brew, Aussie Iced, Diesel Iced, Flat White, Honey Badger, Hot Aussie, P.C., and Mocha Nut. If you’re curious as to what an Aussie is, it’s exactly what you think it is: Australian Coffee! It’s similar to an Affogato, so it’ll be a creamy coffee with ice cream. Let’s say you order an Aussie Iced; you’ll be served Ice Brew with housemade Vanilla & Cream!

Come to Kookaburra Coffee

Kookaburra Coffee has seven locations across Florida– I visited the Beachside location, which is open from 6:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. Each location has a different set of times, so make sure to check beforehand! The journey began in 2012 at Cathedral Place, the original coffee shop in downtown St. Augustine, where all the magic first started. They do offer drinks and desserts for those who are vegan, on a plant-based diet, or those who just can’t drink lactose. Kookaburra Coffee has alternative milks and loads of vegan sweet treats in stock! Next time you find yourself in St. Augustine, bring a Polaroid of your pup and try an Aussie! Happy Halloween (and happy birthday to my mom!) 🎃
