St Augustine, with its splendid Spanish architecture, is a representation of timeless beauty in the United states. The city also manifests a unique blend of different cultures and culinary delicacies.
While you plan your vacation in St Augustine, Florida with Casa de Solana Bed & Breakfast, make sure to experience the famous dessert destinations and walking tours of the city so that you not only explore innumerable dessert hubs but at the same time keep a count on your calories!
Below are some of the popular dessert places which you don’t want to miss-
- Whetstone Chocolate Tours: Take your dessert tour to an ultimate level of entertainment by opting for an informative visit to Wheatstone Chocolate factory. Not only do you get to enjoy the amazing chocolates, but also learn about the history and processing of these little wonders. A ten minutes walk away from Casa de Solana, this 45-minute tour is a complete delight for the chocoholics of all ages.
- Cousteau’s Waffle and Milkshake Bar: Usually in St. Augustine, the weather can be a bit hot and certainly too hot for waffles, unless they are covered in ice cream! Cousteau’s serves up delicious waffles like the Life on Mars, a perfect midday pick-me-up served coconut ice cream, espresso whipped cream, and mocha drizzle. Don’t forget their decadent milkshakes served with fresh toppings. Who says that you cannot wash down an ice cream topped waffle with an ice cream drink?
- Peace Pie: Lounging in Casa de Solana’s courtyard and needing a little treat? Peace Pie is a 30 second walk away and serves up homemade and creative ice cream sandwiches with the added bonus of pie filling! Try the Key Lime Pie with vanilla ice cream, Key Lime filling and sandwiched between two cinnamon shortbread cookies. Who needs Key Lime Pie on a stick when you’ve got this!
- The Hyppo Gourmet Ice Pops : If you want a simple yet rejuvenating dessert after a typical summer day in St Augustine, visit the Hyppo. Guests will be amazed, and overwhelmed, by the 30 flavors of handmade ice popsicles containing fresh ingredients. Grab one, or two or three if you can’t decide on which flavor, on your way back to Casa de Solana in the late afternoon just before social hour starts!
- ChocoLattes: This cafe is just a few blocks off of the main tourist strip of St. George street which makes it the perfect getaway for a treat and a coffee while you plan your next activity in St. Augustine . They feature an array of beverages but all eyes are on their dessert case with big beautiful thick pieces of cake. It is hard to decide, but we are partial to their Oreo chocolate cake with white chocolate mousse, oreos, and chocolate ganache.
It will make you fall in love with St. Augustine.
