About Us

The visionaries and driving energy behind The Moment are Yvette and Nathan Schindler. Both have studied under the tutelage of some of the best national and international chefs including famous raw food chef, Chad Sarno, in the art of raw food preparation, and they seek to share their knowledge, intention and compassion with those who dine at The Present Moment Café.
The Café serves as a venue and focal point for the downtown St. Augustine community and as a space for the spontaneous genesis of new ideas and communication to flow from the inside of The Café, to the community of St. Augustine and beyond. Both Yvette and Nathan wish you peace and happiness in this moment and in the next . . .
Executive Chef, Yvette Schindler, notes that in her inner sanctum lies her backbone. The wonderful chefs in her kitchen, who pay acute attention to flavors, freshness, detail, and presentation, infuse every meal with love and gratitude.
Our executive chef, Yvette Schindler, has received extensive training by world renowned raw food gourment chef, Chad Sarno. The chefs in the kitchen are thoroughly educated in the theory behind the health and environmental benefits of a raw lifestyle and the unique application of layering flavors.
They are proud to work with only the finest organic ingredients and enjoy coming up with new, innovative recipes that delight the palate while nourishing both body and soul. Continually expressing their creativity through striking plating and new recipe development, The Present Moment Cafe sends you peace, health and happiness in every dish.
