THE BEST BRUNCH IN ST AUGUSTINE
From casual eateries to upscale restaurants, there’s no shortage of places to enjoy a delicious brunch in St. Augustine. But if you’re looking for the best brunch experience that offers more than just great food, there’s a hidden gem you won’t want to miss: St. Augustine Sailing.
While you can find fantastic brunches in the area, none compare to the Brunch Sailing Experiences we offer. Whether you’re seeking a shared experience with like-minded sailors or a private, intimate gathering with loved ones, our sailing brunch takes brunch to the next level. Picture yourself on a luxury sailing yacht, cruising along St. Augustine’s scenic waterways, sipping on bottomless mimosas, and enjoying a curated brunch in a custom epicurean box.
In this post, we highlight a few of the most popular brunch spots in St. Augustine and explain why St. Augustine Sailing’s Brunch Sailing Experience is truly the best.
Why Choose a Brunch Sailing Experience?
Our brunch isn’t just about food; it’s an experience. With our Shared Brunch Sailing Experience, you’ll receive a custom epicurean box filled with freshly prepared brunch items to enjoy at your leisure. If you’re looking for something even more exclusive, our Private Brunch Sailing Experience offers an upscale brunch prepared by our onboard private chef. From savory bites to sweet treats, we ensure every guest enjoys a flavorful and luxurious meal with bottomless mimosas.
When you join us for brunch on the water, you’re not just another face in the crowd. Our Brunch Sailing Experience allows you to connect with like-minded sailors as you share a relaxing and unforgettable time on a luxury yacht. You’ll have plenty of space to enjoy your meal in peace, without the hustle and bustle of a traditional restaurant. If you prefer privacy, our Private Brunch Sailing Experience offers a fully personalized and intimate setting for you and your guests.
Unlike many popular brunch spots in St. Augustine, where finding parking and securing a seat can be stressful, St. Augustine Sailing offers a hassle-free experience. You won’t have to worry about waiting in line or paying for parking—just show up, board the yacht, and let us take care of the rest. With St. Augustine Sailing, your brunch becomes a seamless, stress-free, and luxurious affair.
Traditional Brunches in St Augusitne
While our Brunch Sailing Experiences offers a unique, luxurious twist on brunch, there are several popular traditional brunch spots in St. Augustine. Whether you’re looking for a casual bite, a lively atmosphere, or a more formal setting, the city offers a variety of brunch options. Let’s take a look at three standout spots and compare them to the unparalleled experience of brunch on the water.
The Reef Restaurant
For those who prefer a more formal, oceanfront brunch, The Reef Restaurant in Vilano Beach is a top choice. Just a short 15-minute drive from St. Augustine Sailing, this restaurant offers breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean from its outdoor deck. With a laid-back yet elegant atmosphere, it’s the perfect spot for a refined brunch experience.
- Brunch Hours: 10:30 AM – 3:00 PM
- Cuisine: A mix of fresh seafood, traditional brunch items, and “lunch appetizers.”
- Ambiance: Formal, dressy, with the relaxing sounds of the ocean in the background.
While The Reef offers an excellent brunch experience with gorgeous ocean views, it can’t match the intimacy and personalization of our Brunch Sailing Experiences. Unlike a crowded restaurant, you’ll have the entire luxury yacht to yourself (or share it with a select few in our shared experience), giving you the freedom to truly relax. Plus, there’s no better view than the waterways and coastline of St. Augustine as you cruise along during your brunch!
Maple Street Biscuit Company
For a casual, no-fuss brunch, Maple Street Biscuit Company is a go-to choice for many locals and visitors. Located downtown, this charming spot is perfect for those looking to enjoy a quick, hearty meal without the need for reservations or dressing up. Known for their comfort food—particularly their famous biscuits with fried chicken—this is a great place for a laid-back brunch.
- Brunch Hours: 7:00 AM – 3:00 PM
- Cuisine: Biscuits, fried chicken, gravy, and a variety of biscuit sandwiches.
- Ambiance: Casual and cozy, perfect for grabbing a quick meal.
- Perks: Limited outdoor seating on their front patio, or grab your food to-go and enjoy it in one of St. Augustine’s picturesque parks.
While Maple Street Biscuit Company is fantastic, it can’t offer the same scenic luxury as St. Augustine Sailing. The casual vibe of Maple Street doesn’t compare to the serene, private atmosphere of enjoying your brunch aboard a luxury yacht. With our Shared Brunch Sailing Experience, you can still enjoy a relaxed vibe but with breathtaking views and a gourmet touch. Plus, you won’t need to hunt for parking or worry about seating availability!
The Modern Rose
A new and trendy brunch spot that has quickly gained a loyal following, The Modern Rose is known for its all-day brunch menu, award-winning pastries, and vibrant atmosphere. With an emphasis on fresh, locally sourced ingredients, this cafe offers a full coffee shop experience with over 50 organic teas and a variety of bakery items.
- Brunch Hours: 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM Monday-Saturday; 8:00 AM – 4:00 PM Sunday
- Cuisine: A mix of local baked goods, savory brunch options, and a full coffee shop experience.
- Ambiance: Lively and energetic, with a focus on community and great coffee.
- Perks: An extensive selection of organic teas, coffee, and local bakery items.
While The Modern Rose is undoubtedly a popular brunch destination, it lacks the personal, luxury feel that St. Augustine Sailing offers. Despite its award-winning status, it’s still a traditional cafe where you’ll have to contend with crowds and typical restaurant settings. On the other hand, a Brunch Sailing Experience with us offers a quieter, more intimate atmosphere, plus the ability to customize your brunch and enjoy it as you sail along the scenic waterways of St. Augustine. The views from our yacht simply can’t be matched by any cafe or restaurant in the city.
