    We were so excited to try this cafe tucked away in St. Augustine. We had just finished up a trip in Italy and became fans of creamy, naturally flavored gelato. Unfortunately, the wait staff was very rude and their gelato was not for our taste. It was quite icy and had a real artificial flavor to the favors that we tried (Italian butter cookie and stracciatella).
