Mocha Nut
The Kookaburra
A fan favorite, the Mocha Nut, found at the Kookaburra is one of the greatest coffee drinks that I have ever had. It is the perfect drink for someone who doesn’t like their coffee too strong seeing as it is a heavenly mix of the Kookaburras delicious latte, chocolate, and a tropical infusion of coconut. Paired with one of their delicious Aussie Pies, this drink is perfect for dining in the cafe and watching the passersby in downtown St. Augustine.

Iced Brigaccino

Brigadeiro is a dessert favored by many, especially those from Brazil. The wonderful people over at the Luna Cafe have found a way to incorporate the delightfully sweet dessert into a blended Cappuccino. It is creamy, sweet and served with chocolate sprinkles on the rim. They’ve taken both Cappuccinos and Brigadeiro to the next level!

The Mudslide
Dream Boat Coffee
This cool coffee is the perfect summer pick-me-up. Found exclusively at Dream Boat Coffee in downtown St. Augustine, this latte is shaken with chocolate and black cherry flavors giving it a dark coloration, hence the name the Mudslide. Its flavor is not too strong and of course, you can add more sweetness but I think it is perfect the way it is served, a sweet treat for a hot summer day!
