Must Stop in St. Augustine - Edit
The food here is very fresh and flavorful with plenty of vegan options and delicious coffees and drinks. Only complaint was that they don’t have any spicy house made salsa besides cholula. Even if you’re not vegan I highly recommend especially for their lattes and cafe cubanos.

Unfortunate - Edit
My husband and I stopped here this morning for breakfast. I ordered the vegan breakfast tacos and a golden milk latte, and my husband got the Tostada Con Huevos and regular coffee. The latte was fantastic. Loved it. However, neither of us enjoyed our food. My tacos were heavily over salted, with each component being extra salty in itself. It also only had a one textured mouth feel, very mushy. My husband said his was overly salty as well and had so much sauce covering everything. It was all he could taste. I was hoping to love this place after all of the great reviews, but unfortunately, we won't be back 😢
Read morePros: Golden latte was great, Atmosphere was nice, Staff was friendly
Cons: Overly salty, No texture in the tacos, Too much sauce

Could stay there all day! - Edit
This restaurant had a wonderful assortment of breakfast and lunch items. Had great drinks, including espresso drinks a nice mugs. The food has a slightly Latin tinged influence. We had empanadas and fusion tacos. Super nice service. Don't forget to check out the trendy store in the back near the bathrooms!

Perfect - Edit
We were so glad we went a little off course to have lunch at Buena Ondo Cafe.
Read moreMy 14 year old son had the daily special which was the superfood veggie burger with vegan cheese on GF bread. It was a huge, sloppy sandwich that he said hit the spot.
I had  the “present moment bowl”, which has kale, lentils, squash and tons of flavor. My husband had a tofu Banh Mi on GF bread. Another big, sloppy sandwich that was worth the stop.
All in all we were very happy with our lunch experience and would highly recommend.

Truly good vibes. - Edit
This place is a true embodiment of its name, Buena Onda. The staff are kind and friendly. The ambiance is serene and peaceful. The food is delicious and wholesome. I got the vegan breakfast burrito, and my friend got the lentil & quinoa veggie breakfast bowl. They both offered generous portions - super filling! They have vegan pastries and a lot of drink options available as well.

Obsessed - Edit
I love Buena Onda! I usually get the Present Moment Bowl with tempeh, it’s sooo good. I have tried a couple other things but I just prefer this salad. It’s so fresh with a great dressing, highly recommend. Servers are always very nice and helpful.
