Caribbean Sol Cafe, St. Augustine

Caribbean Sol Cafe captures the spirit of the Sun Belt with a menu of comfort foods that borrows recipes from traditional Southern cooking as well as Central and South American culinary traditions. In addition to staples such as chicken and waffles, buttermilk biscuits with homemade sausage gravy, and local flounder with grits, this BYOB eatery also offers a handful of items with international roots. These dishes include breakfast burritos and flaky empanadas stuffed with egg, cheese, and bacon or sausage. With its red-and-taupe walls, simple wooden tables, and smattering of framed photographs, the dining room embraces the same casual spirit as its menu of homestyle cooking.
