Super helpful and knowledgeable about dietary restrictions and celiac cross contamination. Our family member with celiac showed no issues after having their "magic waffle." Almond flour was a concern as well and they let us know their GF flour is rice based and vegan. They said they are proud of their GF blend and we agree that they should be. To go above and beyond for service, they asked when we would consume the waffles to know how much to cool them down and keep them from getting soggy. Its hard to find places so accommodating and polite, this is a gem you dont want to miss if you are GF or just craving a good waffle.

I have reviewed this exact location before and gave it five stars but I need to update it. It’s only worth three. Food wasn’t nearly half as good as it was last time. The sausage was dried out. The pancakes were average. I got the peach ones that were on special this month. My wife had gluten pre-pancakes, which were OK for gluten-free. Let’s be real here. But the waiter was rude. He was normally rude to us. He was rude to other people and they may be shortstaffed, but there’s no excuse to treat people like that. They need to be knocked down a notch accordingly.

Such a great find! They had amazing gluten free doughnuts, the matcha and chai were superb and the staff couldn't have been sweeter.

My Mom and I love coming to Vale Foods!! They have many gluten and dairy free options!! My favorite bowl is sweet potato noodles, broccoli sweet potatoes, vale sauce, avocado, and vale sauce!! The employees are so friendly and nice!!

Brian Walsh

They have the best eggs Benedict around! Everything I've tried is amazing. I was shocked that I think I liked their gluten free pancakes better than their regular ones!

We hired Biscottis for our brunch wedding and everything was perfect! The food was amazing and hot! They handled our small 42 person wedding with ease. They easily accommodated our vegan, gluten free guests and they made sure we got all our leftovers. We were able to enjoy it the next day with some of our out of town guests before they left! It was great! My only comment would be there were some times that the buffet wasn't being managed well (according to our planner having to step in a few times). Other than that we felt like they were the perfect option for our brunch wedding.

I fell in love with both the neighborhood and the restaurant. Their food is so good, and I can order almost anything I like due to the gluten free friendly substitutions. Instead of breaded chickun they grilled my soy curls unbreaded, substituted their house patty that has gluten for a Beyond burger, and served me both on GF buns. I was ecstatic!!! A restaurant where I can enjoy Plant-Based Comfort Food, then enjoy the fantastic nearby shops (I’ll share in upcoming posts) is everything my heart desires. 🥰 FYI: I caution anyone with Celiac’s disease that cross contamination is possible, and the fryer/grill are shared. Gluten Free Fried Pickles: This was the #1 reason I wanted to eat here. Yes, their menu is amazing, but I wasn’t sure I could enjoy much even with a gluten free bun as an option. However, fried pickles have long been a favorite that I haven’t enjoyed in almost a decade, and this is the first restaurant I’ve seen that has them. They were so good, I would order them, even if they didn’t have anything else I could eat. But, thankfully, they do! I had these as a side for the Buffalo Ranch Chickun, specifically prepared to be gluten friendly, per my request. It was absolutely delicious, and I cannot wait to eat it again! I'm also looking forward to another Black Cherry Tarragon Stubborn Soda because it was delicious. Murray Hillbilly has a laid-back atmosphere with books to read and games to play while you wait for your food. There’s even a small assortment of items to buy including t-shirts, hand-crafted hats, and a variety of eco-friendly items. I had to try on the crochet hats. They were absolutely adorable, and for those who don’t know I used to not be able to wear hats because I had too much hair. 😆 I loved that each one was different not just in color but in style, and it was neat to see how they each looked on me. Perhaps next time I’ll leave with one.

Excellent meal as always. Very accommodating towards gluten free. Our waiter was wonderful. Helped my mom pick out the perfect sandwich. Plenty of meat on our sandwiches, too. We had a corner table, nice and clean. Love the bakery selection l and vintage candies. Always a great time here.

Barry Steelman

Great muffins and gluten free muffins. Had both and both were amazing.

Susan Weakley

We often come here if we want delicious food in an unhurried atmosphere. Great drinks from teas and coffee drinks to mimosas. Lots of tables and study/chat areas inside and out. They usually have GF baked goods(at least one option) and they have gluten free options on the menu.

We stopped by another Broken Egg Café on a whim one morning. My gluten-free pancakes were very light and fluffy; I would definitely order those again. The sausage and eggs were also very tasty. However, the city grits were quite loose and more watery than I expected, so I probably wouldn’t choose those again. We also tried the spiked coffee, which was a bit strong; I think a little less alcohol would have improved it, as it was barely drinkable. We mentioned this to the waitress, and she noted that she tends to pour heavily, so if you enjoy a stronger drink, the spiked coffee might be for you. All in all, it was a good breakfast for a quick bite.

It was the best BlackBerry jam and cheese danish ive ever had and my mom couldn't stop raving about her gluten free vegan orange muffin.

Maria Louise R

If you’re vegan and/or gluten free, you will love their choices. If you love olives, try Athena’s Gift which is a delicious gluten free, vegan sandwich. They also make their hummus in house. If that weren’t enough, check out the dessert options too!

Izzie Titberidze

The food was incredibly delicious. I'm gluten-free, so I got a potato bowl. You can build your own breakfast and add whatever you'd like. They do not have gluten-free bread on the menu, but their bowls were much better than a sandwich. Coffee was delicious, too.

Nelly Zapata

We tried making this place our go to place for Birthdays but we went for early Valentines 😅 we just love the customer service, the brunch, the fried rice lunch (gluten free option for one of our family members) and all of the baked goods. There is always something new to try. We highly recommend this place! A++++

Amazing location. The burger was great. I had to eat it bunless since I'm Gluten free, but it was delicious. The fries were also good. Not too greasy or anything. They also had gluten free muffins, which made me SO happy. I also tried one of their iced coffee lattes. They have milk alternatives also for us dairy sensitive folks. I think the best part about this place is the fact they hire special needs adults to work there. They were very kind and sweet. I love seeing them helping out and their coworkers being awesome working together with them too. They have indoor and outdoor seating. They also sell cups and other merch. Live music was being played too. All around a good time.

Angie Gordon

Adorable location. Great coffee. Gluten Free options available as well.

Anna Williams

Was very happy to find a gluten free bakery until the woman behind the counter decided she was going to “put me in my place” because she thought I made a racial joke. Btw- I didn’t. Not worth your time. Sorry I spent my money here. Won’t be back.

First time visitors of the area. Coffee was incredible, gluten and dairy free oatmeal cream pie was amazing (from someone who has a lot of those types of things it was surprisingly good) and the staff were so helpful in pointing us to our next location!

Bobbie Key-Foster

100% the most amazing ice cream we’ve ever had. So fresh, fully customizable, and the service is so friendly. The lobby and restrooms were so clean. While we were eating our ice cream cones, the employees were busy cleaning if they weren’t serving customers. The nitrogen aspect was the coolest! It’s so much fun watching the liquid cream become ice cream within a couple minutes. Love the fresh flavors- we had a fresh peach sorbet. They had a couple vegan options, and love the fact of no corn syrup and no gluten. We brought our pup for a free pup cup. 🐶 He loved it. Needless to say, it’s our favorite local ice cream shop. We will continue to eat here and support this friendly, family owned business. It’s the best in north Florida, no doubt!

Very cute atmosphere! Lots of things to do and many options if you want to try Kava or just have a normal coffee. The barista was very nice and explained all the elixers to me. I had the chunky monkey smoothie and it was very tasty. I also tried the chocolate chocolate chip muffin that was gluten free which paired nicely with the drink. Definitely an interesting place to try!

Fantastic food! Clean and packed with flavor. Catered to my Gluten Allergy. Absolutely delicious spring rolls and meat. The vermicilli was flavored perfect! Had a Vietnamese Coffee with Boba for the after meal drink. Oh boy! Strong and packs a punch! I LOVE this place!

As a newbie to the fighting game community, I felt so welcomed by the staff and regulars at tonight’s Tekken 8 tournament. The ramen was excellent, and the chef made accommodations for my wife to eat a gluten free meal. I really have nothing but good things to say, and can’t wait to show back up for another match!

My wife and I visited Blue when it was Bistro Aix. We had an okay time so we were really excited to see the new concept. We were blown away with the service we got. Our server was very attentive and knowledgeable. He kept note of my gluten free allergen after time only mentioning it once. Our food came out in a timely manner and couldn’t have been made better. We could taste the love in it! We love Blue San Marco!

Virginia McDowell

I love this place! Friendliness is abound! Especially Tyler and Annie. Food choices are much appreciated especially the vegan plus gluten-free options considering both in one meal or pastry is hard to find! Atmosphere is terrific. Regularly drive from Fleming Island to pick up pastries ordered from their bakery called Blueberry. Definitely recommend ordering a bday cake from Blueberry and picking it up at Southern Grounds while grabbing a muffin or coffee! (Photos of most recent cake ordered this weekend which was a special order of GF/Dairy Free). Shout out to Kat at Blueberry who is fantastic with orders and customer service! Experience is seamless between Blueberry and Southern Grounds every time. I recently learned that they do catering, so I’m looking forward to working with them in the future on an event. Update. Went today on 6/20/25 for lunch. Wyatt had the best customer service of the 3 people involved in our food service. Thank you Wyatt for making what could have been a bland experience STELLAR . Wish the veggie bowl was offered with a more robust rice than Jasmine. (My only suggestion)

Amazing place, a lot of variety including gluten free options. The owners are super nice. I live 30 min driving but I will come back.

Great patio overlooking the river. Delicious food. Thanks for the Gluten free options!
