The Kookaburra Downtown

Jared Perlmutter

As a self-proclaimed lover of all things food, I could not walk by the Kookaburra Coffee without stopping by. It was around 5 pm, and I was in the mood for a small snack. I can never pass up a homemade meat pie, I ordered one traditional and one Thai chicken curry meat pie. To my surprise, they were half off the regular price! All baked goods after 4pm are half off, what a wonderful deal! The recipe has been in the owner’s family for a very long time. The dough is flaky, the filling is well balanced with loads of flavor. The Thai chicken curry had lovely white and dark meat, along with a plethora of veggies. The traditional meat pie was a soy incredible with a nice tomato sauce. All in all, I wish I took more home with me. I could eat these on a daily basis. Will definitely return when we’re back in town.

Great location! Flavor of coffee okay with lingering after taste. Curry veggie pie was delicious snack while walking the town. Love the name and vibe. Thank you Kookaburra :)

While visiting the night of lights we popped in for a pick me up. The P.C. and the Honey-badger is what we tried and they were delicious. We also had a crocker meat pie and cinnamon scone with icing. For being busy the wait wasn’t awful. Would try it again.

We frequently visit St Augustine and keep saying we’d stop in here. This trip we went twice to this location, and stopped by their other location before leaving to head home. All I can say is the positivity, kind nature and smiling faces of the employees made their coffee THAT much better! Once we went in once, it instantly became my new favorite coffee shop in SA. The girls were all soooo sweet. Not to mention that on a busy evening one of the girls was stopped coming out of the Treasury by tourists asking a ton of questions about the Treasury while she was clearly trying to head back to the counter. Not only did she stop what she was doing, answer all of their questions with a smile on her face, but she then hopped back behind the counter to make our coffee ... all with such an upbeat attitude. Coffee is amazing. Try the Iced Aussie. I bought a shirt even - we’ll be back!
