Great healthy and delicious menu. The salad is legit so good and I liked it with the nutritional yeast dressing.

Delicious, fresh food that I crave! Love the breakfast burrito.

We were on the hunt for a place that was allergen-friendly and this place knocked it out of the park. They were able to cater to my mother-in-laws allergies and still provide something hearty and delicious. We’ve have too many experiences where restaurants just give vegetables tossed in olive oil, but The Manatee provided a feast! Service was quick and friendly, and the chef even came out to ensure certain ingredients were ok to use. I highly recommend the tofu Reuben!

The staff is incredibly knowledgeable about allergies and very helpful. They mentioned they have a completely separate area of the kitchen for accommodating allergies, and I was impressed! I had the burrito, and it was quite good. The manatee decor was fun and cute as well! Definitely would come back the next time I'm in St. Augustine!

Sweet little place serving breakfast and lunch. Primarily vegetarian but vegan and gluten free friendly with many options. I had the tofu scramble, home fries, and toast and my husband had the breakfast burrito with tofu and home fries.

Came here two days in a row for breakfast, being in the area, feeling like eating a bit healthier, and the place delivered! Hard to choose as many items on the menu sound nice. Breakfast burrito is a good pick for sure, tasty and filling. Will go back again if ever close by.

Delicious meals packed with fresh veggies. Don't miss the appetizer with home made hummus and tabouli. The owner was very kind and passionate.

Vegan brunch and multiple non-dairy milk options for coffee. Tofu scramble was yummy
The Manatee is where anyone local says to go when you ask for the best places for vegan in St. Augustine, so we were really looking forward to trying them out. After we left, both my companion and I shared that we didn’t really have a great experience. The food was okay but not great. The atmosphere and staff were not friendly. The vibes all around were kind of uncomfortable. We both agreed that we’ve been to several other places in St. Augustine to which we would rather return, and are not interested in going back to the Manatee.

Everything we had was delicious & very flavorful. We had the French toast & the burrito. I would rate 5star but the app won’t let me. #Veganuary

I have found it hard to find good vegan/vegetarian restaurants in the area.
Manatee Cafe is is my favorite! ALL of the menu options sound amazing and from what I have tasted are amazing. Being vegetarian in other restaurants in the area is rough seeing most places are purely meat and/or seafood based. I can usually find one thing at a regular restaurant in the area like a salad with barely anything on it. bleh
I'm so thankful for this little gem - service was fantastic, food is fantastic, prices are fantastic. I only wish I lived closer so I could eat here every day! Fav so far is the hummus pita.
