Mayor Dylan Rumrill interviewed Liberty, a barista at the Kookaburra coffee shop, in a short "Monday with the Mayor" segment about the shop's involvement with the City of St. Augustine Beach and local events.
Liberty said the Kookaburra participates in the city's art walk and other sponsorships and that knowing sales support the community “definitely makes me feel great.” She described the shop's most popular drink as the “honey badger” and said another staff favorite is the “PC,” which the barista defined as “a half ounce of vanilla and a full ounce of caramel” served as a latte, hot or iced.
Liberty also described a typical morning shift: “I came in at about 7. I’ll be here until 1:30. This window opens up at 7:30, so I just did some opening tasks, and I’ve just been making coffee.” She named the chocolate chip scone as her preferred scone, and noted the shop offers a brown sugar pecan scone as well.
The segment included a brief mention of the Kookaburra’s local footprint: the host said the shop has multiple locations throughout Saint Johns County and has recently opened one location in Alachua. In the interview, Liberty confirmed the new Alachua location.
The mayor closed the segment by encouraging viewers to tune in for future installments of "Monday with the Mayor."
