The Spanish Bakery & Cafe

I'm partial because every time my Mom & I went to St Augustine when I was growing up, we ate at The Spanish Bakery. I always got the sausage roll. Many years later, I live in another state and she is no longer with us. I was in St Augstine last Saturday and I had a one track mind that I was going to come here and get a sausage roll. I got the last one. It was perfect, exactly what I needed, and only $7, which is amazing. Some places will charge half that just for a bottle of water. This place is unique institution on St George St.

Please update your hours. This is a place I look forward to literally all the time I’m here. I’ve been coming here since I was a child. There are no signs saying you’re closed on Mondays and Tuesdays now. I would have stopped by yesterday having known that and loaded up on bread. I was going to take some home to Austin, TX. I am so disappointed.

The beef empanada was the best one I’ve ever had ! The picadillo soup was tasty too! We were taken care of by the awesome Loralei! She was sweet, smart and funny! The dining area was relaxing with comfortable seating. They had beautiful loaves of fresh baked breads and lots of wonderful baked treats! Well worth the visit! Top quality and good value!

They are now closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. The hours on google maps were not updated.

Staff was unbelievably rude. Asked a Simple question and they belittled and tried to make us feel stupid for even asking.

Great veggie empanadas. Cute little shop in the back. Seating all around in the shade. Bathrooms nearby as well.

The Cuban was the best of the things we ordered. If it wasn't for that, this place would get zero stars. Empanadas are baked in a dry flavorless dough. The picadollo inside was alright. The corn salad is gross. Not what I was expecting at all. 41.00 for a meal I would have thrown in the trash. Don't waste your money if you're into true Spanish food.

This is not the same place as decades past. I’m a local and very disappointed with the changes that have been made recently with their food. They’re new owners and don’t have the old recipes, or have they’ve gone cheep. We used to enjoy their food tremendously and would stop every time we were in the historical area of St Augustine. Would take all of our family and friends from out of town there for fresh baked bread, soup, cinnamon rolls, pastries and lunch. Everything has changed. And it’s flavorless. The soup is watery, minus flavor or oregano that it used to have and thin on chicken and rice, the sausage rolls taste like Bisquick was used for the roll (and it doesn’t cover the hotdog), the empanada tasteless. So, so disappointed!!! I won’t be back. It’s not worth the high cost of the food. Locals have lost another good place to eat!

The empanada was not what we expected. Cumin flavoring was HEAVY - our family is Spanish and this was NOT good. The beans and rice didn’t have much flavor on the contrary. Honestly the only good part was the bread that came with the soup I got.

This lovely small bakery in historic St. Augustine is worth the stop! The empanadas are incredibly flavorful, with a flaky, freshly homemade crust. The owner is kind and authentic, and the atmosphere is festive and inviting!

The lady who helped us was so sweet and the service was very good. However, the food was gross. My partner and I ate the caprese sandwich and shared a cinnamon roll, the pastry was super stale and the chicken on the sandwich tasted like it had been soaked in water. We couldn’t finish or even continue eating, and the total for our food was over $40. I hate leaving bad reviews but this was truly a bad experience
