Manatee Cafe

We rarely have more than a couple of options but the amount of vegan options made deciding what to order difficult. There was just so much to choose from and everything sounded amazing. My breakfast burrito was delicious and my husband thoroughly enjoyed his tofu scramble.

Very cute cafe with excellent service and great food! Had the beans and rice with a side salad..best basil vinagarette I've ever put in my mouth. Plan to eat breakfast here one morning and see what that's like! I really appreciate that there's vegan and gluten free options.

Loved the food! Amazing for vegan and vegetarian options. Not very restaurants in town like this. Great potions and a good variety of food. Definitely recommend! Will come back soon.

Great Vegan GF options. I absolutely love the Cajun Pita and the potatoes are delicious. Went for breakfast as well and the pancakes are great. All in all I've been there 5 times and loved every time.

Incredible food and kind service. Highly recommend for anyone whose looking for a delicious, earthy taste!

Food was so good! Customer service needs improvement. If you are looking for vegan food on the area, this is the place.

Awesome waitress and she ordered exactly what I wanted. Best sandwich i ever had.. very tasty and filling ..

Delicious, fresh food and very kind staff. The hash browns are the most delicious, crunchy potatoes and I don't usually eat potatoes. They also offer scrambled tofu and vegan cheese on breakfast menu 👍🏻👍🏻 try the breakfast burrito, its chocked full of yummy veggies and a great way to start the day! We will be back.

Best Vegan ever!!! Wish it was a larger restaurant and closer to Palm Coast. But so worth the drive.

This place is amazing✨ I can't stop getting the combo salad with tofu, tabouli, sweet potato, mixed greens, pita and (extra hummus). Don't forget to try and buy some of their homemade hot sauce 🔥. Sooooo good. Cool vibe and nice people. Stay or to go, never a disappointment.

Was looking for a vegetarian/ vegan place and happy to have found this.Everything from veggie wrap to carrot juice was great. Friendly staff to boot.

My tofu scramble was delicious and perfectly seasoned! I'll definitely be coming back here to try the lunch options.

Great vegan options and the tofu scramble was delicious! They have dairy free creamer, just ask when ordering your coffee. They automatically brought me milk creamer but happily replaced it for me. Prices are reasonable. Place is clean. We even bought the most beautiful terrarium there which was handmade by our waitress. We will definitely eat here whenever in St Augustine.

I really like the vegan options and its pretty tasty The reason I have to give a 4 star would be because customer service is very poor there is no smile or kindness on these employees I wish I felt more welcoming when I come here. They need to be more happy and not so tense.

What is lacking in imaginative decor or comfortable bench seating — if you don’t like sitting at right angles, pick a chair — is more than made up with the food. I had the veggie omelette — outSTANDing — and grits as a side, also good. Coffee is good but a bit expensive ($3.25) in my opinion. Still, a great option for healthy food. Would definitely go back for lunch or dinner.

Loved the atmosphere of this place! It was very relaxing with lots of nature decor and of course plenty of manatees. They have a ton of vegan and vegetarian options, the menu was very creative with lots of unique recipes. The tofu scramble was loaded with veggies including sweet potato (I think) which was amazing! The waffles were great and weren't heavy like most. They tasted healthier and felt a lot lighter after eating them. The portions are very generous and the pricing is reasonable.

Fantastic food! This place has a slew of vegan options, and we thoroughly enjoyed our meal. I couldn't believe the size of the veggie pita - it was stuffed with so much delicious produce. And the rice & vegetable soup was great. It's a good sign when you leave a restaurant wanting to replicate the meal at home. We will be back!

I remember eating at the Manatee Cafe many years ago and really enjoyed it. They have been around for quite a long time and offering organic foods with some gluten-free options as well! The food and selection is very good especially the vegetable pizza. They have omelets and wraps and sandwiches always a gluten free bread option. the only area that I could see needs a little improvement is the service. We never had our server come back and ask how our food was or if we needed anything else. And also took a little bit longer than expected to take the initial order. It was friendly service but just not a complete service package. I will definitely come back though.

The Manatee was the first place in St.Augustine to offer delicious, healthy food options that left you full. The same owners in the same place making the same food, after all these years, is a great combination. This restaurant is what much less successful restaurants try to be.

What a great place to eat. I never thought I would like vegan food but it was so so good. Will return. Our favorite place to eat now. Was cold with the fans going in December.

Manatee is my favorite place to grab lunch! The food is always fresh, healthy and delicious. Plus, Jimmy always gives impeccable service! The chicken wrap with the basil dressing is my favorite!

Great place to enjoy some Vegan/ Vegetarian food.Love the veggie Omelette.

I attended the AMEN Conference with Latura, Victor and Renny. We went here for breakfast. Victor ordered the vegetarian omelette and hash browns. I ordered the waffles with hash browns. Victor's food looked so good! I asked him if we could swap and he said YES. He enjoyed my meal and I enjoyed his!

I've been coming here for many years, still my favorite restaurant. I get the tofu and cheese sandwich with vegan cheese. It's delicious and loaded with all the toppings like avocado and hummus

One of my favorite places to eat. Everything is always delish, super fresh and served fast no matter how busy it gets. Oh and never forget how affordable. On top of it Jimmy is the best and the most fun host in town. Wish it was closer to me to make it there more often!

Great place! Really good coffee and FANTASTIC potatoes.. definitely going back.
