Top 50 Gluten-Free Places Across 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!!!

Chris Watkins

Great food, nice selection of menu items and handled Gluten free needs well

Heather Doyle

Always great food, knowledgeable staff. Love coming here every time I visit St. Augustine

Elizabeth Hayes

We absolutely love this restaurant especially since they have gluten free and take care to make sure their food is safe. Every-time we have gone we have had great service. They also offer vegan cheese if you have a preference or an allergy to dairy.

Gluten free options!! BEST PIZZA EVER!!! Anytime I'm near a mellow mushroom I have to stop. They never skimp on toppings. Definitely worth every dollar!!

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!

Yummy veggie tacos, gluten friendly too

Pizzalley’s Chianti Room is situated in a prime location in St. Augustine, and the atmosphere is inviting and pleasant. However, our dining experience was marred by several issues that left us feeling frustrated. Service Issues: Upon arrival at 2:55 PM, a time when the restaurant was not particularly busy, we expected a timely greeting and service. Unfortunately, it took an unacceptably long time for our waiter to approach us and take our initial orders. This delay was surprising given the number of open tables around us. As our wait continued, we found ourselves having to remind the waiter about our requests multiple times, which only added to our dissatisfaction. Children’s Experience: One of the most disappointing aspects of our visit was how our children were treated. While other families at nearby tables received coloring pages and crayons to keep their kids entertained, ours did not. After noticing this discrepancy, we asked for coloring materials but ended up waiting for quite some time without any response. Eventually, one of our group members took the initiative to retrieve the coloring pages and crayons herself, which should not have been necessary. This lack of attention to families with children made the experience feel less welcoming. Plant-based Menu and Pricing Concerns As a vegan family, we were initially pleased to see that the menu offered customizable options. We ordered a vegan pizza, and while our waiter suggested a vegetarian pizza without cheese, we were able to request different vegetables to suit our preferences. However, we were taken aback when we received the bill: $27 for a 10” gluten-free pizza that contained only tomato sauce, a sprinkle of broccoli, mushrooms, pineapple, and a few pieces of eggplant. In stark contrast, friends dining with us paid the same price for a 16” pizza loaded with an impressive array of toppings—pepperoni, sausage, cheese, vegetables, and specialty ingredients (they ordered half Garbage Can half Pig’n’Fig pie). It felt as though we were being penalized for choosing healthier options. Charging extra for a simple vegan pizza with minimal ingredients is not only unreasonable but also discouraging for those seeking plant-based meals. Conclusion: While Pizzalley’s Chianti Room boasts an attractive location and a pleasant atmosphere, the combination of poor service, inadequate attention to children’s needs, and exorbitant pricing for simple vegan options left us feeling dissatisfied. This experience does not align with what one would hope for in a family-friendly restaurant. We cannot recommend this establishment based on our visit.

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.

Amanda Hill

I went with family because they have a gluten-sensitive menu. Horrible experience. I think it was mostly the waitresses' fault. I got pork belly tacos off of the gluten sensitive menu. I asked her to please put in a note for the kitchen that I have wheat and dairy allergies and it went downhill from there. She said they weren't wheat tortillas they were flour. I said I needed corn. I was brought flour tortillas and she said she forgot to put them in right. I asked for a pineapple mimosa but they brought out a glass with less than a cup of liquid that had no pineapple. Etc. Management comped my food. I will not be back. Please think twice before coming if you have allergies too.

Jan Baumgardner

Excellent choice for gluten free diets. They make everything to order so along with the listed GF items accommodation can be made too. Our waiter was knowledgeable and friendly. Wine list was excellent. Highly recommend.

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🐠🐟🐬🦀🦞

UPDATE: I sent this review to the email address they provided same day as they requested in their reply to this review. They acknowledged that they got it and have said nothing since. Do not be fooled. They have done nothing to help me here. I will update this review if they ever reply or do anything. Terrible experience. Bad service, not safe, below average food. The waitress did not write down our order and was very frantic. When the food came out, my mom’s (Celiac) was not the correct dish she ordered. It came out with plantains (fired in a shared fryer) and not on an allergy plate. Our waitress went back and came back in less than 2 minutes with a new one on an allergy plate. We think she just moved it to an allergy plate and removed the plantains. However, the dish was still not what she ordered and when she told the waitress, she said yes you did order this. My mom very nicely tried to jog the waitress’ memory on how we ordered and the waitress said “whatever” and walked away. Did not offer to get my mom anything else or apologize for any misunderstanding. My mom did not feel comfortable eating what she ordered so she ended up splitting my filet (also Celiac). It was a below average filet and we both felt bad the next day (likely cross contaminated). On top of that, no one at our table of 6 ever got a water refill throughout dinner

We knew about The wait time before we got there. But we decided to do it anyways. After waiting 2 hours to get in they put us on the balcony outside on the second floor. It was freezing cold. I told her waitress this wasn't going to work. A few minutes later they cleared off a table and put us inside where it was nice and cozy. Me and my wife each got a jambalaya. Harry's makes the best jambalaya. Then we ended with a big slice of key lime pie which was so delicious and gluten-free. The jambalaya isn't listed as gluten-free but I had no reaction to it. The service was amazing. Our server would come over to check on us periodically and join in conversation with us. I will definitely be going back again someday. But in the meantime I also love the hairy seafood in Gainesville or the one in Ocala too.

We often come here for birthday dinners and the food is always quality here and of course the atmosphere and views are great. This past time we did notice a few changes that were kind of frustrating. First most of the cocktails are $18. I obviously know this place is pricey but I still feel like that is outrageous and I do not remember them being $18 the last time we came. They also stopped giving you bread as an appetizer and cited that it’s because so many people are gluten free now that they were wasting money and product. I think reducing waste is great, but annoying if it’s something you look forward to and now it’s $7 if you want any. I feel like a compromise would be just asking the table if they want bread or not. Another thing is if you have a party of 6 or more then they put it all on one check. I’m sure this makes it easier on the waiters but it leaves the diners much more frustrated at the end of the evening trying to divide it all up. I will probably steer my family away from picking caps anymore as a celebration place.

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.

Joyce Bowers

Great place for bowls, wraps, and smoothies. It’s a fast casual restaurant so you order and they bring it to you and it has all sorts of options to make your own. Plus for celiac you can have gluten-free options easily. A plus if you have car, it has a parking lot in the back!!

Hendricks Window Cleaning

Nice gluten free baked goods. Plain latte was good.

R.J. Fuerst

Recommend by a local downtown, Sarbez! was a pleasant surprise! Service was wonderful, bartenders were friendly and there were lots of options for beer and wines. The grilled cheese menu was extensive, they had Gluten Free options which was a huge plus. There are plenty of video games and things to do, to keep the whole group entertained all night. We liked this place so much we went 2x during our week of vacation. Highly recommend!

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.

Mike Etheridge

Best gluten free pizza I’ve had ever! Great service and staff. Definitely recommend!

Trixie S (Trixie)

Good food and drink! We come because we need gluten free pizza dough and theirs is really good!

Christina Bannon

Absolutely love Purple Olive. The food is always amazing and they have lots of gluten free options! I love the braised short rib and the dijon salmon. Both are incredible. We also love that they have gluten free desserts! My favorite restaurant in St. Augustine!

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.

Mrs. Smith

We enjoy coming here every time we come to St Augustine. They have gluten free options, which is a plus for us.

Celeste Massoth

Several interesting items on the menu. The yucca fries with a sweet dipping sauce were good. We dipped regular fries in the same sauce - yum; much better than ketchup! Glad to have gluten-free choices (gluten-sensitive).

Kyla Craven

I got the dairy-free almond butter chocolate ice cream and it was absolutely delicious! It has great flavor depth! There are gluten-free options as well.

Raven Simmons

We recently got married and ordered a GLUTEN FREE wedding cake with Creme de la Cocoa. Our cake was absolutely beautiful and delicious. We received so many compliments from our guest. Definitely recommend and amazing customer service!!

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!

Gina Lakhdar

Outback was delicious. Our waitress was wonderful. The food was awesome. I have a gluten allergy and they catered to that and I didn't get sick.

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

Kassandra Moench

Great ice cream for the perfect price! The atmosphere and owner were both fantastic! They even have gluten free and dairy free options! We will be back :)

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!

Elisabeth Ruff

We were staying at Edgewater INN, it was our first night and we didn’t really want to drive and where…and decided with a storm threatening that we’d like to stay close. The restaurant is a casual small gas station themed place. Mia, our server, was fantastic. I’m gluten free so not only was I thrilled about the gf bun for my delicious Black and Blue burger, but thrilled with the flourless choc cake (decadent rich chocolate) My husband enjoyed his meal too. The salads were fresh as well. We went on a Friday night around 7:45. No wait. Go try it! So good!

J J

Very good! The gluten free was pretty good!

Tamara

Such a quaint place. Felt like I was eating in a home somewhere in Italy. Wonderful, personalized and intuitive service from Ann Marie. All four of us had seafood and were very happy. The table next to us ordered an extra large pizza. It looked so good that we called in a to go order a couple days later. One of the top pizzas we’ve ever had. I ordered a gluten free pizza, it was one of the best I’ve ever eaten! This is our go-to restaurant in Crescent Beach. Thank you Viola’s for providing such a great experience for your customers!

Terri “Rosebud716”

I got the burrito bowl, with tofu and Baja sauce bc I need gluten free and vegan, it was a little sweet a little spicy I have to say I was quite impressed. I had to take my food to pizza place to eat so hubby and I could eat together, guy was really nice, girl was a little short when I asked a question she pointed and said read the menu.. so? not everyone understands what Baja sauce is, and I am strict on gluten and vegan for a reason I wasn't being rude I was being careful because I get sick.

Nancy Chrisse

This is the only place I will have pizza. 5 Star is the best I need gluten-free and this last pizza I had I had Italian sausage, pepperoni, onions, tomatoes, and mushrooms compared to my usual Italian sausage. I thought I died and went to heaven. it was excellent excellent I can’t say enough good about the pizza and their delivery service is great!

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.

Allix Newport

Amazing options, vegan and gluten free and dairy free galore! Shout out to Mordi for helping us get more than we went looking for!

Ashley Hemphill

Our family has a vacation house in Palm Coast and this is our second visit. We hop around to places during our visit around the area. I ran across Salt Life because of the outdoor area and live music. We ate out almost every meal for 7 days and this was our last meal. My husband, my mom and I all agreed it was the best meal we had on our trip. I got a chicken sandwich and my mom got the same one but off of the gluten free menu (another big reason we picked here). The server, Samuel was so polite and we got to talk to him briefly. He was prompt and knowable with the food. Was super helpful and gave us good recommendations when we asked what we should get. My husband had a burger and it looked amazing he ate the whole thing. Drinks were also good. Of course had to end the night with some salt life merch! lol highly recommend and ask for Samuel as well!

Debra Kay Levi
