Southern Grounds St. Augustine is a chef-driven café and wine bar on Historic King St, bridging the gap between a coffee house and a scratch-kitchen restaurant. Located across from Flagler College near the Lightner Museum, we are a community "Third Place" for locals and visitors.
Beyond Intelligentsia coffee, we serve all-day breakfast, artisan brunch, and healthy bowls with clean, seed-oil-free ingredients. Enjoy fresh pastries by Blueberry Bakery or evening wine on our pet-friendly patio. Perfect for breakfast near St. George St or a relaxed dinner.
Hosting a celebration? We are also a premier event venue for wedding rehearsal dinners and private parties in our courtyard.
Open daily 6:30 AM – 9 PM.
