Top 20 Gluten-Free Breakfast Spots to Enjoy in St. Augustine

Dani Bollettieri

My daughter graduated so I wanted a special cake. Due to a wheat allergy and a gluten intolerance we are strictly gluten free. We have the Chai cake and it was beyond incredible. The party of 18 said it was one of the best cakes they’ve ever had and they don’t have to be gluten free. It was moist and soooo delicious. Some of the people in our party went to the bakery the next day to enjoy more goodies. We have been strictly strictly gluten free for over 20 years and I have ordered cakes and goodies from all over the USA to be over nighted and I scout out every gluten free bakery wherever ww travel and this is the best cake by far. No comparison.

I am celiac, dairy-free, and soy free. This was the first restaurant I felt comfortable eating in since the waiter and kitchen staff took all my dietary restrictions seriously and recommended certain foods that would abide to all of them. It is not easy to find an accommodating restaurant. I highly recommend this place for those who are very sensitive to strict dietary restrictions!! The food was prepared by a chef and the taste was phenomenal!!!

Cameron Davidson

Great for gluten free and healthy options. I had the gluten free biscuits and gravy with chicken patties and a Riley’s Choice fruit juice. My partner had the Elvis smoothie (so freaking good) and a breakfast burrito and soup. We’re local, but hadn’t been here before. So good!

Chris Erkelens

Sooo...good and catered to gluten free

Erin Davis

The sweetest people work here! We had a great morning with excellent service. The gluten free accommodations are outstanding. I highly recommend the lobster Benedict, French toast, and the lobster deviled eggs.

Julie Bloom

This place has healthy food without sacrificing flavor! Everything is organic and gluten free. Has plenty of vegan options.

Erika Harrison

We will definitely return to Luli's Cupcakes next time we're in town. A lot of cupcake shops focus more on the cute-factor than they do product quality, but Luli's has both. We got here a little late in the afternoon, so I didn't have high hopes, but the coconut cupcake was amazing. It was moist, flavorful, and not overly sweet. My husband got a gluten free cookie, even though he doesn't normally do gluter-free, but he said it was great. Can't wait to stop by again.

Nicholas Bryant

The food was tasty and the service was fast and friendly. My wife and I loved the cute little garden setting area. My wife is gluten free and while the place isn't strictly celiac friendly they do have a gluten-free buckwheat batter.

Beth Simmons

Refreshing take on coffee and healthily approach to breakfast! Aussie pies are a must and the pastries are vegan and usually gluten free! good vibes among the people there at the two locations we visited🐠🐟🐬🦀🦞

Sylvia Sheridan

Stopped here on our drive from Florida to South Carolina. We really enjoyed the Ford themed decor, there are so many things to look at making the atmosphere fun and lively! Was delighted to see that they offer gluten-free buns! I chose to try the 1/2 pound Ford Signature Burger, it was accompanied by bacon, lettuce, tomato and onion. It was juicy and the tomato was sweet! The fries were good - crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. 😋 My burger came out looking like it does in their advertised pics which was impressive (minus the Ford branding). I'm guessing that was because it was a gluten-free bun 🤷‍♀️. Husband loved and I would stop here again.

Hendricks Window Cleaning

Nice gluten free baked goods. Plain latte was good.

Katie Stout

Gluten free “The Works” bagel was really good. The flavors combine just right! Cesar salad was delicious as well. Easiest 5 star rating. Service was great too!

J Stordahl

I appreciated their gluten free options (separate menu), though really wanted some GF pancakes or waffles, which they did not have, but did have a delicious breakfast bowl. The wait area for seating is tight and in the way of people entering/leaving.

Joe

A must stop if you are looking for delicious Cuban food and coffee. The space is a bit small but there is outside seating. The media noche and cubano sandwiches were top notch. The Cuban nachos were amazing! We also tried the guava pastry, outstanding and the colada, also great. They had an amazing gluten free cheesecake, not dense, not too sweet. Everyone enjoyed their meal. Service was fast and friendly. Highly recommend!!

Maria Demler

Amazing place and vibe. Everything we order was 10000/10 we got the avocado toast is a must, the chocolate muffin, the breakfast tacos and cappuccino. We went on a Sunday and they had live music which made our visit even more enjoyable. My only suggestion would be to have more gluten friendly options like maybe being able to have the avocado toast on gf bread. If you are in the St Augustine area you gotta check it out.

Melanie W.

Our waitress Holly was awesome! It's so rare these days to witness restaurant staff that's truly happy to be at work, it was refreshing! Also, we are Gluten Free and they offer GF bread if needed and had a decent amount of GF options. All the food was tasty. The flavored latte's had a little bit of a chemical taste.

Tina Todd

Ordered the gluten free pizza, it was the best gluten free crust I've ever had!! They also have vegan cheese!

Hélène Pique

Great family meal. American football atmosphere. Great choice of gluten-free meals for my husband and my mother-in-law who are allergic. Super friendly staff

Bori Mally

We stopped in twice for a quick appetizer and drinks and it was amazing! The guacamole and oysters were DELICIOUS!!! Their hibiscus margarita is was so flavorful! And both times the service was 5 stars our servers were funny, accommodating to my dietary needs and allergies and attentive! No wait time. Pricing was reasonable and worth what we ordered!! Highly recommend. Gluten free options! For those of you like me with gluten, dairy and soy allergies!

Christina Mantas

Excellent! Kookaburra always has good service, quality gluten free pastries, and creative lattes. There are outlets to plug your laptop in; and it's a great place to get work done in the afternoon (not too busy). Love coming here for an afternoon pick-me-up.

Marion Lucas

Restaurant and food were fantastic. Especially when you’re celiac. We dined in, service was prompt and suggested gluten free items. Suggest you try the prime rib special!

Candace DeMarco

Dakoda was fantastic! Very sweet. Helped me to ensure my food was gluten free! Very attentive! Enjoyed our time.

Pamela Nix

Placed order in drive through and requested staff to double check order. They read the receipt to me and moved me on. I said “I trust it will be right” - drove the food to meet the rest of the family and my gluten free nephew had no chicken to eat because all the other orders were cross contaminated with buns and they forgot his order. I recommend that next time a customer requests to double check the order that the team checks the food packed against the receipt.

Andrea Stanley

Vey very disappointed with the seriousness taken with food allergies. I am thankful we caught the carelessness before my children ate their food. My children have celiac disease & are gluten free because of this. I also explained this to our server. We ordered the shrimp & grits that is listed as a “gluten free option”. I explained that we need the item to be gluten free due to their gluten allergy. When our food was delivered the “gluten free” shrimp & grits was served with cornbread on the side of the bowl. I asked our server if the bread was gluten free & she replied that she was pretty sure it was…. Well it is not. Besides obvious cross contamination issues a gluten item should not be a side item on the same bowl as a gluten free entree. I spoke with the manager and she said she would talk with the kitchen staff and the employee would be reprimanded & that she had tried previously to have the cornbread removed. My son would have easily been hospitalized if we had not caught this. We will not be back & I am hoping the staff and kitchen staff will be more cautious & careful with allergies. This is beyond carelessness & unfortunate. I hope this will be taken seriously throughout the restaurant.

Michelle Case

Very cute coffee place nestled on a busy street! It’s not too big on the inside but customer service is great and the coffee is delicious! I had the P.C which was delicious and I paired it with the gluten free vegan donut. Definitely worth stopping by to grab something to go.

Courtney Beaver

This place is an amazing place for breakfast! They have amazing gluten free options. My husband is a highly reactive celiac and had zero issues eating here. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly! The mocktail I had was so tasty! Highly recommend the biscuits with bacon jam!

Wanda Loedts

Very cosy place, with market fresh, classic breakfast. A little less choice for people with celiac but very helpful and knowledgeable to help you make the right choice. Really nice family atmosphere and an interior that cheers you up!

Jose Ghersy

I like that they have a gluten free bread available to replace other types of bread. Their kids menu is good too at around $10.00 We probably ordered the worst two items in the menu since they didn’t look like anything from the pictures we saw. My wife and I ordered two different things yet they looked exactly the same. The service is fast. The place needs some TLC as the walls are dirty which is not what you want to see on a restaurant. However, what makes this restaurant a regrettable experience was that they charge a 4% fee for paying with a card. They have a very small sign in front of the cashier that warns you about the fee they decide to charge to all their customers who do not have cash at the moment. Also, it you want their gluten free substitute you have to pay $.99 per plate.

Jan T

Old mom and pop. So many great choices and they have gluten free bread options. Loved the outdoor seating as it is protected from the weather and they welcome pets out there.

Michelle Brooks Rials

Amazing breakfast tacos! Also love that it was gluten free! Best breakfast end our wedding weekend!

I don’t usually write reviews but this place was really cute with a good vibe. The staff were helpful and personable. A server named Gabbie helped us and had a great chat and walked us through everything even tho she was clearly busy. The food was amazing and I loved the five and dime. It’s a must try! The only thing I can critique is there is not many gluten free options.

Craig Maule

Fabulous food! We just dined at Sainte-George and will definitely be back. First course Spiced Tuna & Beet Sashimi and the Lentil Grape Feta Salad were fantastic. We also enjoyed the Salmon and Scallop special. For dessert, try the chocolate indulgence which is gluten free.

Debbie Grubb

Nonna's is a quaint, small, out of the way restaurant with a limited menu. We were with a party of 7, and we were seated outside. It was a lovely night, and everyone enjoyed the evening and raved about the food. Both food and service were excellent. The only negatives are that they do not offer gluten-free pasta, but they have several entrees that can be prepared GF. My husband was a little disappointed with his Caesar salad - iceberg lettuce instead of ronaine. But the bread and entrees were delicious!

Kensi Taylor

Please don’t miss this one! The wonderful smell drew us in, and as soon as I read gluten free on the menu, I was sure about our choice. They were so kind to us as we were newbies trying to decide what we’d like. I had the coconut cream pie gluten free waffle, and it was so amazing that I came back the next day for a repeat before we left town. Can’t wait to visit again next trip. Highly recommend! Ps, loved the chill and cozy atmosphere!

Sadie Owens

My favorite neighborhood coffee shop! They have great options for gluten free and vegan for breakfast and lunch! Staff is always super friendly, and their matcha is my favorite in town.

As tourists- each meal is a surprise. This had the added advantage of being fairly pleasant. Tucked quietly and discreetly near the lobby of the Casa Monica Resort is to the Costa Brava. It was 3pm on a Wednesday and we were famished (having skipped lunch and had an early breakfast). The atmosphere is very impressive. The staff is friendly and super welcoming. My wife, daughter thoroughly enjoyed each tasty bite of their delicious meals. My daughter was delighted with her gluten free hamburger. Perfectly prepared and presented. ($16) My wife found her fish (grouper) & chips the best and most satisfying fried fish she’s ever eaten. She loved every morsel and despite my best efforts- refused to share even a crumb with me. ($22) My turkey sandwich was good - but I wasn’t as satisfied with the seasonings and consistency of my meal as the rest of my family. ($17) I will say that despite my personal disappointment- we all left with our cravings met and our stomachs filled. Based upon my wife’s recommendations- I probably should have ordered the fish.

I love their gluten free options. Fresh, tasty, and reasonably priced

Gene Goodson

This place is amazing. I am allergic to gluten and the fact that they have gluten-free bread. The sandwich was amazing, and the bread was not like other gluten-free products. It was real bread, and I loved it. My family and I have now found our go-to restaurant!

J Stordahl

Good food and service. Only wish would be for gluten free pancakes/waffles and dairy free creamer.

lynn lyons

Gluten free bread available!

Jennifer Nifakos

A lovely neighborhood coffee and tea shop! The frittata and sweet potatoes were gluten free and packaged in a cute little box. Bagel sandwich was also good. Friendly owners made us feel welcome. Will definitely be back!

Jennifer Bennett

The food is healthy, clean, and soooo yummy! You must give it a try! We're hooked! I'm really picky. They definitely have gluten free and vegetarian options.

Bre

I was on the search for a place nearby me on Vilano Beach to work on my laptop. The vibe here wasn't right for that, but the food was amazing. They made me a breakfast arepa so it would be gluten free. I was licking my fingers!

John Gallagher

Had to go back multiple times! There is so much goodness here, even Gluten Free, and the people are exceptionally friendly Breakfast, Lunch, Evening snack Such a unique find and new favorite!
