As a college student in St. Augustine, I’ve been to a lot of coffee shops, but Chloe at Crucial Coffee is the reason I keep coming back. She’s one of the kindest and most genuine baristas I’ve ever met. From the first time I walked in, she made me feel welcome, remembered my name and order, and always brings such good energy no matter how busy
You can tell she really cares about the people who come in, and that kind of attention makes a big difference, especially when you’re juggling school and just need a place to breathe for a bit.
The coffee is excellent too. It’s smooth, flavorful, and clearly made with quality ingredients. But honestly, it’s Chloe who makes Crucial feel special. She’s the reason it’s become my favorite spot in town.

One of the Best Coffee Shops in Saint Augustine I stopped by Crucial Coffee shop while walking around downtown St. Augustine, and I’m so glad I did. This place has quickly become one of my favorite coffee spots in town. The vibe is super cozy and inviting, and it’s tucked right next to the fort in a really cool historic blacksmith shop —which makes the experience even better. The coffee and lattes are seriously good and were told they use all organic beans. You can tell they care about their craft. They also have some great tea options and pastries, even sangrias and mimosas. The outdoor seating is perfect if you want to relax and enjoy the St. Augustine atmosphere. The staff was super friendly and helpful, which makes a big difference. Whether you’re a local or just visiting, I’d definitely recommend checking this place out. It’s got that mix of great coffee, friendly service, and a unique location that makes it stand out from other coffee shops in the area.

I come to the shop regularly specifically for Chloe to make my coffee. She is so warm and friendly that it makes my day better.

Coffee was okay but the guy who made the coffee wasn’t very friendly

It was a lovely place, good music, and very quiet and relaxing. The drink was also great, a London Fog. Really glad they had it, most places don't

st. augustine local...absolutely delicious coffee...ambiance is adorable ... and the service fast. located right off st. george st. best "hole in the wall" local coffee.
Stopped in for a cold drink to help beat the summer heat. Last time we were here was 2017. The drinks were good back then and today was no exception. We were promptly greeted and I ordered a wild berry smoothie. Was blended well and tasted great.
The feel is old world building meets new world flavor. There is inside and outside seating and they sell a variety of books for a few dollars.
The owner said he has been there for 25 years and I wish them another 25 years of success.

A cute spot to have a quick coffee/smoothie/ bobba tea. Located close to the Fort, there is an outside area to have your drinks or Ice cream. There was 1 employee (it was a Tuesday) so be patient.

Cute little place, they made the most out of an old blacksmith and created a very iconic place with tons of drinks to choose from! Great stop by for amazing frozen lemonade!
