Present Moment Cafe is closed

A very friendly environment. They have great healthy choices. I appreciate that they can cater towards special allergies such as soy. I had a very positive first experience. I had the macro burger and the Buddha bowl. I prefer the bowl better. I also had the guacamole and appreciate their hearty chips. The pecan apple cobbler was delicious.

Great Vegan/vegetarian place to eat. A coworker of my husband's recommended this place to us when he heard we were vegan. The food was delicious! We had to wait a long time for the food to arrive, but it was fresh and well worth the wait. Dairy free desserts (although I was too full to try them, we will next time!

Out of all the cafes and restaurants in the area this one is the healthiest and vegan!! Everything we ordered was delicious and fresh. Everything is made to order so you have to wait for your meal to be prepared but it's so worth it. Everything we had was delicious! My husband went back the next day just for the Sunday lol!

If you want a gorgeous, healthy meal...look no further!! The food was amazing at a fair price & it was so relaxing! They had craft beer & wine, a friendly staff, & a diverse group of diners. I will re-visit Present Moments Cafe

This place is AMAZING! We were searching for raw vegan restaurants in/around Jacksonville, to no avail. We stopped at Starbuck to get juices, JUST in case we found nothing. What we found was a GEM!!! It mysteriously popped up AFTER we left Starbucks. It is HANDS DOWN one of the best restaurants, with an extensive raw vegan food menu, that we've dined in.

Love this restaurant! It's a quaint, little hole in the wall that is completely vegan! They have amazing vegan appetizers all the way to yummy cashew ice cream and raw cacao desserts. I would make this your next stop in st augustine :)

The staff, food and atmosphere was wonderful. Lunch started with cucumber water. I had the White Truffle Pesto Pasta with House Salad and for dessert the Brownie Sundae! Parking is behind the building.

Wanted to try something different so we stopped by this restaurant. Got the sunlight burger and the impossible burger. The sunlight burger didn't come with buns and was served cold, so it was ok but I was expecting more. The impossible burger however was so good! You should try it!

My very favorite place to have breakfast and brunch. I'm neither vegan or vegetarian and I enjoy everything I have had there. They make the best lattes The staff is courteous and helpful and the atmosphere is relaxed And the food is amazing!

Buena Onda Café is a great spot for lunch, I went with my aunt and cousin and we all loved it! The decor is cute and items for sell. The food is absolutely delicious, with plenty of vegan/plant-based options, including desserts. It does get crowded, so be prepared to wait in line (it moves fairly quickly), and grab your water at the start to put down on a table to hold. There's outdoor seating in the front and back and it's dog-friendly, which is a big plus. Parking is available in the rear. Overall, a tasty and welcoming place worth the visit!

A terrific little café in the West King ST area, small but charming with a great menu and daily specials. I thought I would just have a cafe con leche & a scone, but then I read the menu and watched some beautiful plated meals being served and I found a seat at the bar and ordered the Nut Toast. It was so delicious -- almond butter, fresh fruit, coconut flakes & agave syrup like a thick french toast. Next I had the soup of the day which was squash & garbanzo beans & the perfect spice. I truly look forward to sampling more of the gastronomic menu in the future. The servers were BUSY but still attentive and the chef makes pleasant appearances.

I just love it here! Fresh tasting food where they know how to accommodate to gluten allergies. my go to is the breakfast tacos and occasionally they have yummy GF baked goods.

Absolutely excellent vegan breakfast options, which we stumbled on when waiting and giving up on the Blue Hen across the street. We were so happy with the outcome! I love that the vegan options had a good protein focus to it! So many times we have had vegan food that while flavorful, isn't filling or nutritious. The ban mi was deliciously fresh and flavorful, the pickle in it was a nice touch. It came with a tomato soup which was tart and warming. The avocado toast was excellent too - great bread, flavorful tofu, and a bite from the potatoes. Both portions were very filling, the drinks were ordered were generously sized as well. It's a quick service cafe, food came in 15 minutes. We ate in at one of the tables, which we got pretty quickly even though they were pretty full when we first walked in. There's also a bar stool area if you'd like instead. Can't wait to go again!

Great staff. Delicious latte! And egg bagel. I drove an hour and 15 minutes to try this place and it was worth it! I've been wanting to go for ages since I am vegetarian. I will need to come back asap! Thank you

It's a nice little place. We wanted to go to the restaurant across the street but didn't want to wait the insane amount of time they told us. We saw the cafe sign across the street and walked in with no line at all. The place is very nice inside. Good vibes. It's vegan/vegetarian which isn't necessarily what any of us were looking for but the cinnamon roll was good and the latte was also delicious.

Short and simple review FANTASTIC !!!! I'll drive back from Orlando any day to eat here

Small bustling cafe. Seats were limited initially but opened up as we needed them. The menu accommodated each of us with meat and vegan options and everything was delicious and so fresh. 100% would recommend and will visit again!

Pleasant surprise while visiting St Augustine! The breakfast sandwich was so tasty!! The bagel itself was so fresh. It reminded me of New York bagels! The toppings/ filling was equally delicious. The cafe con leche was made to order. It was a great way to jumpstart a day of sightseeing! The ambience was that of a quaint coffee shop with some unique artwork and goods available to shop. The service was fast efficient and friendly! Highly recommend!

We had breakfast here 3 years ago and we were coming back to Saint Augustine and Buena Onda was top on the list to go back to it's that good. Again did not disappoint this cafe has great service & is a cool place to have a meal , dessert , coffee or pick up a few items from there merch wall. We will always visit here when we come to town...This Cafe is our joint even though I'm sure other people call it there joint we are claiming it as ours lol

Do yourself a favor and check out West King! You don't need to go downtown for great food. It's right here on West King sandwiched between a local brewery and a cool shop. I've been visiting Buena Onda 6 or so years ago when our son was a student at Flagler. This cosy cafe continues to be one of our favorite breakfast and lunch spots. Today I ordered the Present Moment Bowl topped with grilled Tempeh. The bowl was filled with fresh kale, properly massaged to give it a bit softer texture, Lentils, quinoa, roasted butternut squash with a creamy avocado dressing. My husband had the Breakfast Burrito. Two beautiful fried eggs, refried beans, avocado, mash, fresh, roasted, sweet potatoes, cheddar cheese, wrapped in a whole wheat tortilla. It served with a side of spicy romesco and cilantro dip. Both dishes were delicious, healthy, and filling. Glad we walked here because now I can walk off what I just ate!

Oh my goodness - truly good food and good vibes as promised! That vegan pozole was absolute perfection and so heart-warming and tummy-nourishing on a chilly December day. I loved the service - everyone had a smile on their face and though it was busy, there was no stress or impatience on their faces or in their tones. Clean, comfortable, enjoyable experience.

Love this quaint and delicious breakfast and lunch spot in West King District right outside of St. Augustine's Historic District. Clean and fresh food with sustainability in mind. Argentinian and Colombian vegetarian and vegan fair in a casual fun environment. Great lattes and teas and walk up service. Outside seating could be pet friendly.

Amazing vegan food. The best I've had.....anywhere. My son and his family came with me. They are not vegan and they LOVED the food and place. Atmosphere creative and charming. Staff over the top friendly. They seem to like being there.

Stopped by here as I was traveling bc it had vegan options and The Vegan options were Amazing! I enjoyed my bagel sandwich with tofu and just wow the flavor was very tasty! My family enjoyed their non vegan meals (photos added) and the cafe con leche was very traditional! Both exterior and interior are with beautiful artwork which was nice but I have to rate customer service and although the workers were nice I feel like they could've help me more being my first time there, I understand it was kinda like a self serve restaurant. Lastly the fried tempeh was so sour, had weird flavor and after taste.

This is an amazing place with super, duper friendly staff just as the name, Buena Onda, mentions. The breakfast is full of flavor. The tortortilla con huevos were amazing but i was a little jealous of my wife breakfast tacos.

When you see 45 solid 5 star reviews, you gotta go! Yelpers tell you like it is! We were doing the touristy thing in St Augustine and had to run away from all the congestion in town @ lunchtime. We got in our car and opened up Yelp for some peace and quiet and incredible vegan food and so glad we found Buena Onda. It was so good! My husband had a really nice salad and we were both wishing we could take Buena Onda back to NJ with us! On the way out I had an incredible vanilla latte and a scrumptious pecan sandie. What a cool place and the food was very special. I hope to be back one day soon.

Came in today around 11am and it was packed. Service moved fairly quick, for the amount of people ordering. Prices were a bit steep, for the little I ordered. I ordered the Breakfast Tacos $12 Tostada $13 Ginger Mint Lemonade $4 Cafe con Leche $5 Juice Box $2 Total was around $35.... Taste wise the breakfast tacos were good my eggs were cold, but my avocado was warm. The tostada was drenched in sauce my daughter wasn't much of a fan. Coffee was stellar! Parking in the back gets a little cramped. We did enjoy sitting outside. Staff were all very pleasant & kind.

I have been missing west coast vibes since moving back to Florida and this place most definitely delivered on the great vibes. we got the breakfast tacos, bagel sandwich and nut toast. Delicious! Definitely recommend and will definitely be back!

The service are rude with service dog and don't have the full menu available and the server are very angry with my wife and I

Fast casual restaurant with incredible food. My dish was an avocado toast with butternut squash, pepitas, other deliciousness and an egg. If I visit Saint Augustine again, I will definitely go back. The ambiance was its own unique casual atmosphere which I treasure in an local restaurant. The service was perfect for fast casual because it was, well...fast and friendly.

Excellent, flavorful dishes, delicious drinks, great atmosphere, and lovely servers. We all thoroughly enjoyed our meal at this establishment.

Espresso is next level! the food is so flavorful and delicious! Fun little cafe vibe. Friendly and welcoming laid back service. A must visit!

Amazing vegan options. I got the tofu egg scramble burrito. It was epic and the coffee was delicious. Don't let the outside building fool you.

Loved Buena Onda! Dear husband and I had breakfast here. DH (vegetarian) had the breakfast bagel. I (vegan) had the Present Moment bowl with added tofu. Delicious!! The women working behind the counter were everything wonderful! Pleasant and knowledgeable. We definitely recommend!

We have been meaning to come here for a few months and finally had a chance to have lunch here. What a fantastic place! The specials change all the time and we both chose the Beet Poke Bowl, which was fabulous. We also got two of their cookies, baked in-house. So very good - pillowy and light. Highly recommend. Tell your friends!

Didn't want to wait at Blue Hen so we stumbled across the street into this WONDERFUL breakfast restaurant! Got right in, no waiting, and EVERYONE loved what they got! Avocado toast, breakfast bagel and I got the eggs on something like a tortilla with refried beans and a delicious green sauce, WOW! Do yourself a favor and check out this wonderful place! You will love it!

Amazing!! The vibes are super cool and welcoming and the staff is so nice. But the food OMG is absolutely amazing. It's so wonderful finding great vegan food while traveling, I wish we were in the area longer so we could go again! We got the vegan empanadas which were very good, I got a vegan blueberry scone which they heated up and it was AMAZING, I also got the banh mi with tofu (I got without jalapeños) and it was freakin awesome (& the sauce on it was to die for), my boyfriend (non-vegetarian) got the buffalo cauliflower burrito which he loved, and we both subbed our chips for carrot coconut soup which was sooo good. Really really amazing spot. Absolutely recommend to everyone - not just vegetarian/vegans!! (We also got the hibiscus drink they offer - very refreshing!)

Highly! Highly! Highly recommend this place. Great customer service, delicious food, great selections of lattes and clean place Thank you Buena Onda for opening in St. Augustine. Finally great vegetarian food

Got take out for an anniversary trip. Food was delish. Service was so friendly and upbeat. Didn't stay but the ambiance seemed really nice. A little noisy but not too bad.

Such a favorite of mine when visiting my sister in St Augustine! Brunch food that is both comforting without weighing you down and being a vegetarian/vegan menu only. Servers are kind and food came out prompt. Small outdoor seating in back parking lot and plenty inside, with a small hipster market. Check hours before going as they can be limited depending on staff I hear

One of our top three places in St. Augustine for breakfast, and the first choice when we have vegan guests visiting with us. Great food. Awesome coffee.

BEST bagel sandwich I've ever had. A must try. Service was quick. Staff was super friendly. Space is very nice, comfortable seating. Nice area to work at on your laptop or read a book. Highly recommend.

Great food, fresh and tasty. Vegan Service was very friendly and efficient, ambiance is good Would recommend

This was easily a top 5 lifetime meal!! Cannot say enough great things about this place!! As a plant focused eater it's so hard to find good vegan food, but this beautiful cafe knocked it out of the park on every level! And the staff was so kind, the atmosphere so inviting, just an overall memorable experience that I'll keep with me forever!!

My mom and I tried this place for the first time and I had mixed feelings about it. The food was very tasty. It is not your ordinary breakfast joint and it tasted more like lunch. The restaurant serves extremely healthy food and there is ONLY plant based meat. Breakfast will run you $11-$13. Specialty coffees/lattes will run you $8. The restaurant itself is very loud. Between the lattes being made, chairs being dragged on the floor, and some people talking across the small space it was hard to hear my mom and concentrate on what she was saying. The staff were extremely friendly there are vegan and gluten free options. If you're looking for an extremely healthy breakfast this is for you!

Spending the night in st Augustine with my husband and on our way to the hotel decided to stop by Buena Onda Cafe , I have never tried a vegetarian restaurant with food so tasty and flavorful. The coffee was amazing too , I got a capuchino my husband a café con leche. We will be coming tomorrow for breakfast or brunch again!!!! Service was amazing

Love Buena Onda! There are few places in St Augustine that you can get soy free and dairy free meals, and this is one. Not only that, but the food is flavorful, amazing and well done!! The staff are friendly and very knowledgeable about ingredients and appropriate substitutes for allergies. We are super happy to have this wonderful cafe in our community!!!

Thank god I listened to my girlfriend after saying no way to vegetarian. This place was fantastic and the best burrito I've ever had. Not to mention to hard work the two girls at the front were putting in, like a well oiled machine. We will recommend to all of our friends when they are up here.

Really great and refreshing spot-- especially 4 breakfast Do yourself a big ole favor and swing by for something light and scrumptious. Please note tht with these ingredients, you might encounter a steeper tab. Good for a treat-- but your total quickly racks up especially when paired with a drink or bakery item. Kindly service as well. Overall-- good vibes n meals. Note that it can b pricey

I needed to drop my husband off at an appointment and had a few hours to kill (or at least I thought), so I pulled out my handy dandy Yelp app, and checked out what was near the appointment. Several places came up, but Buena Onda Cafe peaked my interest. So off I went to Buena Onda. It's a bit off the beaten path (not super far from downtown St. Augustine), but also away from the hustle and bustle. I pulled up (it's located on King Street), and was happy to see they had a parking lot in the rear of the building. I parked, and walked to the front of the cafe. The first thing I noticed when I walked in was the beautiful stained glass windows that adorn the cafe (beautiful greens and blues). I also noticed the rad mural they had in the rear of the restaurant. I checked out their menu and had a hankering for the potato frittata sandwich. Unfortunately the staff member said that they ran out of this (it sounded so dreamy...potatoes, egg, reminded me of a bocadillo of tortilla espanola I used to get in Spain frequently). The staff member mentioned their breakfast arepa, which was today's special, it sounded super good, so I opted for that. I also got a chia pudding (because when made right, it's so good), and an iced cafe con leche (you can get many of their hot beverages iced). If you're looking for a vegan restaurant, this is your place. Lots of options, and they don't skimp on flavor. Also, if you're looking for a coffee drink, they offer a variety of milk options, from oat to almond, they've got you covered. I also so a variety of pastries, cookies, and desserts. Had I not ordered such a big meal, I would have totally gotten a dessert. There's lots of seating inside, they also have a few outdoor tables in the front of the restaurant, and a table outside (behind the restaurant outside). My meal came out quickly and the arepa looks chock full of deliciousness (beans, avocado, eggs, cheese, pickled onions), the chia pudding looked fresh and delicious (the strawberries that adorned the top were a vibrant red), and the iced cafe con leche looked refreshing. When I was about to bite into my arepa, I received a text from my husband that he needed to be picked up. So I got everything boxed up. I picked him up and decided to switch over to the passenger seat (so he could drive and I could enjoy my meal), I bit into the arepa, and to say this was full was an understatement. Seriously full. So full that I had to use a fork and knife. Each bite was better then the next. The eggs were fluffy, the avocado was deliciously ripe, the cheese was a bit sharp, and the beans knocked my socks off (in a good way, so well seasoned). The chia pudding was so creamy, not gritty. The strawberries, pieces of granola, and coconut added a nice tropical flavor to the pudding. It also had some raisins and blueberries inside. The cafe con leche was so refreshing, creamy, and perfectly delicious. If you're looking for a sweet little cafe, equipped with something off the beaten path, delicious, thoughtfully handcrafted food, head over to Buena Onda. Pros: -Vegan food that doesn't skimp on flavor -Variety of items on the menu -Breakfast served all day -Breakfast arepa was soooooooo good -Delicious, creamy chia pudding -Handcrafted coffee and tea beverages Cons: -None Tips: Try the chia pudding and the breakfast arepa (if they have it on special)

3.5 stars because the taste of the food is phenomenal. Otherwise, there were quite a few issues with service.... We arrived at 1:00 pm and realized the restaurant closed at 2pm in the summer, still enough time for a fairly leisurely lunch. The menu that was offered was much less extensive than the one posted online, and on the wall, we saw that they were already "sold out" of a number of menu items. My sister and I ordered the kale bowl, but were told that was the 4th menu item that was "sold out." We went back to look at the menu again to try to figure out what looked good that was still available. I ordered the breakfast tacos, and my sister order a breakfast burrito; however when we were served our food about 15 minutes later, we were both served the same dish. The server did apologize and came back in about 10 minutes with what my sister ordered in the first place. We both thoroughly enjoyed our meals. The breakfast tacos had avocado, pickled onions, Mexican cheese, cage-free eggs, black beans, and a delicious green salsa. My sister had a breakfast burrito without the tortilla, served with yummy avocado and home fries made of sweet potatoes, covered in cheddar cheese. The portion size was small for the prices; however, the food was so tasty that a smaller portion was satisfying. My sister enjoyed her Golden Latte with turmeric, cinnamon, cardamom, and other spices in creamy whole milk. My ginger lime lemonade was a disappointment, though. The lime tasted slightly rotten, and the ginger was not strong enough, and it was very watery because at least half of the glass was filled with ice. I would probably go back for the food, but I hope next time more menu options will be available.

Yay, a wonderful vegan/vegetarian breakfast and lunch place! I had the avocado toast - delicious! We'll be back!

Great veg cafe open early for breakfast! Creative tasty options for vegan and Omni eaters. Had the special of the day bowl which was fried rice and the tofu scrambled huevos rancheros. Vanilla lattes with oat milk and a chocolate chip cookie to go! The toasted ciabatta was delicious and makes me wish I lived closer. Lucky locals and tourists are in for a treat here! Ample seating inside and outside in front and rear. Friendly fast service too!

Absolutely loved how fresh everything was, and the yummy selection. You order at the counter and they bring the food out to you. Very cute aesthetic and friendly staff.

Wow-- we came across this place by recommendation of the hotel, it seemed healthier than what we had recently so we gave it a try. To start off, the place itself is super cool, colorful and full or personality. As you walk in, both servers are super nice and attentive. We had cafe con leche and a matcha latte, exquisite. Then the real fun began..... he had the breakfast tacos with eggs, the yolk was PERFECTLY runny on both of them. They were delicious. I had the Tostadas con huevo, again with the perfect yolk to complement the flavors of the green salsa. I'm writing this as I left and my mouth is watering again thinking of the flavors. Perfectly portioned and exquisite. A GREAT spot with GREAT food!

The best avocado toast EVER! And their café con leche tastes even better in their authentic cute mugs! I was skeptical at first because the location is not like the downtown feel. But it quickly won me over. The food is just that good!!!! I'll keep going back every time I'm in town until I've tried everything on their menu.

Gorgeous neighborhood cafe with healthy delicious choices. Many vegan and vegetarian options. I ordered the daily breakfast special - Breakfast Arepa and my husband ordered the Present Moment Bowl. The food was delicious. Instead of coffee I ordered the morning Matcha - it was insanely delicious - if we only lived here, this would have been my favorite place! What a great find!
