I used to love this place as one of my favorites in St Augustine to eat something healthy. I often ordered the pizza cause it was a full plate of fresh vegetables. It always reminded me more of a salad than a pizza. I used to call it: the salad with the flat bread under. But when I went yesterday, they covered the veggies with cheese. So no more freshness, just too much cheese that made me enjoy only one slice. And I was already full from all that cheese. I also got very disappointed about the cleanliness of the place. It used to be much cleaner. My silverware was sticky and had a piece of paper attached to the fork. The floor near the entrance had a roll of hairs attached to the chair I was sitting. And the cherry on top was a roach walking on the wall that another client saw too. I didn't call the manager and did not complain of anything cause I didn't want to make a scene, and it was late and hot outside and didn't feel like going somewhere else. My daughter came to visit from Orlando and I felt so bad that I gave her such a bad experience. Read less

Started food, tasted great. Water ran out twice. However, we can get over that. We saw roaches all over the floor. Walking near the people sitting near us. Three different sizes of roaches and some skinny red bug. I lost my appetite and my husband did after that. We went to pay. I paid and tipped my server. Then whispered to the cashier I’m not sure if you are aware or not, but you all have a bug problem. She frowned and said yes. That’s why we were closed last week. I explained we saw three bugs running around very alive. She said -We can’t get it under control or something to that affect. That she would tell the manager. I feel that this is neglect to be open and cooking knowing you have bugs and serving food to the community. Read less
