Café Del Hidalgo- Ice Cream, Food, And Drink

DO NOT EAT HERE! my friends and I went here for lunch while shopping. After being seated we waited over 30 minutes for someone to come over to us. We ordered 3 paninis and 1 chicken wrap. We waited TWO hours for our food to finally arrive cold and undercooked. My friend asked for no tomato’s on her wrap because she is allergic but was served the tomatoes anyways. After telling the owner about our experience and the tomatoes situation he was very very rude to us, did not apologize whatsoever for the tomatoes, and insisted she eat it or pay for it. We tried multiple times to leave the restaurant before receiving our food but they would not let us. The staff was very rude and the owner was the worst part! The best he could offer us was one dollar off, even after almost giving my friend an allergic reaction and serving us cold food. I will tell everyone i know not to waste their money here!

I had the gelato. It was hard and kind of crunchy - not smooth and creamy like gelato should be. The texture was not gelato and not really even ice cream.

The gelato and desserts are heavenly! You can't get anything better than the gelato filled crepes. They are very large so one order is enough for two or three people. There are many flavors of gelato to choose from. They have an assortment of beer and all kinds of hot and iced coffee drinks. They do serve food also. If you are on a budget or just want to have a sandwich or salad, this is a great place to go. It is less expensive than most of its competitors in the downtown Historic area. The staff is friendly. You order at the register and they bring your food out. They make fresh squeezed lemonade all day. I can't recommend it enough. It is worth a drive downtown just to have a coffee and some crepes here! The toasted marshmallow is my absolute favorite gelato.

Seriously? One scoop in a extremely tiny 2oz cup was $6?? Should have been $3, and I could believe $4, but $6? Really can't stand when businesses price gouge simply because they're in St. Aug. It was literally about 3 or 4 bites of gelato.

Horrible service. The owners seem to be not interested to make this place successful.

1/12/2024 The staff was very friendly. I wasn't a huge fan of the house Cab, but it was cheap and okay. Wine is so subjective. I didn't have any food to rate. The store is fine, nothing super unique but it was clean and the WiFi was good.

If you need a coffee, don't buy it here. This place Does not know anything about making coffee. Don't waste your money.

We had a great time and great food + drinks at Hidalgo. Even though there were several other bars and restaurants and we stayed only two nights in Saint Augustine, we went toHidalgo twice. Right opposite of it is the Torture Museum for anyone who’s interested.

Our favorite place in St. Augustine! Their frozen sangria and gelato crepes never fail to disappoint. Huge thank you to whoever manages their social media accounts. The Facebook account messaged us back in under 10 min on Christmas Eve about their hours.
