The Ecologica Coffee & Food — Restaurant in Saint Augustine

These arepas are incredible! We make special trips out of our way specifically to get them, they are that good. The atmosphere is casual, clean, welcoming, and the perfect balance of social community flow and chill cafe vibes. Plenty of space, power outlets, and privacy to do some work, read a book, or to meet a date or friend!

I love that the Stone Climbing Gym is connected to it too! There’s a long window to see the rock wall while dining, if you’d like, and the entryway of the cafe itself actually opens to the entryway of Stone’s reception area too, so there’s a nice vibrancy to the flow without it being intrusive. When I feel adventurous, I get to the climbing gym when it opens, climb until I work up a good appetite, then mosey over to Ecologica and get an arepa and a shake. It’s the best! I’m pretty sure you could keep climbing again afterwards if you’d like, since they mainly offer full day passes and rentals over at the gym. It’s such a great hub to keep on your radar, definitely...
