“Delicious ice cream and the friendliest staff! We highly recommend!“

“Fantastic experience with great service!“

“Updating to say our most recent visit was - as always - top notch! Oarian went above and beyond for our kiddos and was super sweet. We are always so impressed with the quality of the ice cream at Mayday but the service is really why we return. Thanks Oarian! (1/2026)

We love Mayday! But our experience today was tops! I brought in a raggedy group of 4th graders on a field trip and Phoenix was phenomenal in her kindness, service, and patience. She was so sweet and got them all exactly what they wanted - with sprinkles of course. And they all loved every flavor they chose (how could they not?), because Mayday is always delicious.“

“Delicious ice cream and great experience!“

“Stopped by during a visit to St. Augustine. The treats were amazing. All my family enjoyed them. Plus, it is always good to support small business. Take the family and get some treats. If we lived here, we would go back often.“

Had a LOVELY experience with Sophia (so sorry if it’s spelled incorrectly). The slushies were so good, the best I’ve genuinely ever had! She was so kind and sweet, she really made my experience such a great one. Great place, lovely employee!

Boba was delicious! The two young ladies were nice and helpful. Great drink!“

“The location is perfect for enjoying a tasty treat while soaking up the beautiful views. They are open Wednesday - Sunday, 7AM - 3PM. I tried their smoothie and Italian pineapple ice, and both were absolutely delightful. The combination of amazing food and stunning ocean views makes it a must-visit destination.

“The Orange Pineapple ice cream is amazing!!!“

“My daughter is a vanilla purest and this is her favorite place to crush a cone. We always have her order independently, and the employees (often young adults) are so kind and patient with her. She recently broke her leg, and all she wanted was Whits after. With many options to choose in the area, this is our go to.“

“Wow, on a vacation here in historical Saint Augustine, my husband found this ice cream shop and we got the dark deep chocolate ice cream, we think it was called Captains chocolate ice cream.we never tasted anything close to this wonderfully delicious ice cream. We had it yesterday and had to go back today to get some more and got some extra to have for breakfast in the morning. Unbelievable ice cream!!!“

“Saint Augustine Beach Mgr Nicole Riddle is absolutely the best. She takes suggestions, she makes special orders, she just goes above and beyond!!Saint Augustine Rita’s is the best! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“We walked from our hotel & ordered pizza about .5 miles away. We were SO Happy that there was an Italian Ice & Custard place literally right next door. You ALL gave us a tasty treat while we were waiting & it was ABSOLUTELY Delicious!! And although you were BUSY & inundated with customers/tourists...you took care of each of us nicely & with a Smile!? When we come back to St. Augustine..we will return ✨“

“A big shout out to the 2 managers working Sat. They were kind, friendly & helpful. Not something you experience much any more. These ladies deserve a RAISE. Good luck with Nursing school. Travel Nurse Theresa from SC 😁🏝“

“I was on vacation when I saw this restaurant in St. Augustine FL. I saw the menu and said I have to go in and get something! I am a grilled cheese connoisseur and I make some good ones myself but oh my gosh, the grilled Mac and Cheese I had with I can't remember what kind of meat was AMAZING! So was the tomato soup! This amazing 70's music was playing inside and I was dancing waiting for my take out. It was so cool inside! They asked for my name and I told them. Little did I know when I came back in a few days later where we ate inside that time, that the man who waited on me 2 days before would remember me and call me by name! Holy cow! That was so cool! He said it was because I was dancing. I'm a dancer with 5 trophies so yeah, I was dancing to that good music but to remember me like that! If you love grilled Mac and Cheese or just grilled cheese in general and you love tomato soup, you have to eat here! I promise you will not be disappointed at all! Next time I want some Poutine and another sandwich! YUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!“

“Our favorite local specialty dessert shop in Saint Augustine, Florida! Their milkshakes are delicious! All our vacation rental guests get discounts to Cousteau’s and they love it! We love their location on Hypolita Street! Right in between two of our new vacation apartments!“

“My sons eat here probably once a week. Employees are always friendly and quality of food is top notch. However, the last 2 times I've ordered online the order has been incomplete--missing multiple French fry orders. Should have checked the bag before I left, so that's on me. Driving back to the restaurant to get the missing items is a hassle that I end up not doing. It's frustrating because when you pay $30+ for a meal, you expect it to be filled accurately. Hopefully management will correct this and retrain their employees on order accuracy.“

“This trading post and museum in Saint Augustine is an amazing experience that has to be seen. The history is rich here and we'll worth the trip and don't forget to buy something from the shop. Finally jump on the trolly and take a tour of this amazing city.“

“Wife and I stopped there we were starving we never eat fast food in Florida but I had a double and a chicken sandwich fries half my wife's onion Rings and it was unbelievable!!! So good I was so stuffed and it didn't make me feel sick!!! Oh and Vanilla shake was perfect 👌 thank you so much all the staff were very respectful too!!! Don't see that these days!!! Wow“

“I’m a regular here, usually stopping by Monday mornings around 8am on my way to work. I love this place—the coffee is great, and the cozy vibe inside makes it a perfect start to my day. The only issue I’ve run into during my last four visits is with the QR code scanning. I use a prepaid gift card on my app, and it often takes about five minutes to get it to work. Hopefully this can be smoothed out so the checkout process is as enjoyable as everything else here!“

“Wonderful place to sit in shade and enjoying your coffee“

“This place is amazing!! Gelato is made fresh by the owner Scott. A wonderful family owned business!“
