Top 18 Gluten-Free Cafes to Delight 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.

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!

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.

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

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🐠🐟🐬🦀🦞

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!

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.

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.

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!

Michelle Brooks Rials

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

The Modern Rose in St. Augustine is a must-visit! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warmth and hospitality that made us feel like family. The staff and owners—Emilio, Daniela, Melanie, and Shahan—were exceptionally friendly and welcoming, going above and beyond to create an inviting and memorable experience. This beautiful café is more than just a place to eat; it’s a space filled with love and attention to detail.

Their 50+ organic and boutique teas are perfect for tea lovers, while their organic, specialty-grade, single-origin coffee is locally roasted by Calusa Coffee and freshly brewed in-house. We tried several items from their menu, and everything was absolutely delicious: 🥑 Professor C – Ezekiel toast with smashed avocado, hemp seeds, chia, pumpkin seeds & organic mixed greens 🥗 Princess Diana – Mixed greens with hummus, tomato, avocado, pistachio & seasonal dressing 🥪 Tulum Sammie – Herb-grilled muenster & mozzarella, two jumbo fried eggs, pesto & tomato with roasted corn, elote seasoning, cotija cheese, Mexican cream & chili flakes 🍌 Lotus Flower Bomb – Toasted banana coconut bread slices with Biscoff cookie butter & brûléed bananas, served with eggs 🍞 Yalla Habibi Flatbread – Hummus naan topped with pistachios, dates, cranberries & avocado 🧋 Rejuvenate Boba – Bursting dragon fruit boba in locally-produced cucumber watermelon green tea & agave nectar • Green Pomegranate Tea, Passion Breeze Tea, & Caramel Macchiato Espresso Beyond the amazing food and drinks, the ambiance is stunning—a perfect blend of modern and cozy, making it a great spot for a relaxing brunch, coffee date, or tea break.

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.

I had to leave a review after once again having an amazing visit to this store. I have been shopping here for over a year now, and Diane's Natural Market has consistently delivered in every category that is important to me for my family's needs. This includes a positive and upbeat, even fresh atmosphere! The store is incredibly clean and products that are grouped by brand are ALPHABETIZED! What a novel concept! Spices, supplements, essential oils, all alphabetized, so you can get to what you need quickly. The produce section features a generous variety, is fresh and well stocked and all organic, and who doesn't enjoy fresh fruits and vegetables not repeatedly soaked with herbicides and pesticides? There are even some items that I have not had before such as broccoli sprouts, sunflower sprouts and even carrot sprouts. These items can really add a nice degree of variety to otherwise routine salads while adding vital, bioavailable vitamin and mineral enrichment. If you want a fresh and delicious made to order gluten-free sandwich, or cup of rich satisfying soup, see Maria in the Cafe and you will be welcomed with her genuine smile and their food-deliciousness! (I have to eat gluten and dairy free so my options for picking up a quick bite while out are limited.) Bulk and packaged organic coffees, and other crave-worthy snacks are plenteous here. If you have thought about Diane's for their clean, healthy foods, you owe it to yourself to at least check out the vitamin, herbs and supplements section. While shopping I began talking with a man working in an aisle who turned out to be the owner. While discussing a particular supplement he informed me that every supplement they sell is "Third-party-tested". This is because independent research has revealed that some supplements were found to contain very little or actually zero of the ingredient they were being sold for. If you are considering a supplement for an ailment or condition or just want to ensure you are bringing your A-game to meet your challenges, you can confidently shop here. Not always true when shopping online and I write this with first-hand experience. Going the natural route for healing is very effective and money-saving, I have seen it repeatedly, but you have to have the right supplement! Another upside of the natural route is that you don't get the laundry-list of negative side effects sometimes associated with man-made pharmaceuticals. If you do have questions about which supplement, will be best for your situation, drop in and see Nicole or Dan. They are often in the supplement section assisting folks and are very knowledgeable and always helpful. Definitely shop here if you are looking for clean meats, organic produce, a great variety of packaged grocery items from pastas and tomato sauces, to cereals and snack chips! They even carry soaps and toiletries. Another thing I will mention, I have seen the prices coming down, even with the present inflation we are experiencing in this economy. Annie's Mac and Cheese for $1 per box! Their sale items are significantly marked down, and change monthly, and often beat other big grocery stores in price for the same items, even with all the afore-mentioned benefits of shopping there. I have seen locally grown produce and meats produced by smaller independently owned farms there. Obviously they try to support local farms, which I really appreciate. Do yourself a favor and go see for yourself! I bet you will return.

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.

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!
