Top 17 Gluten-Free Vegetarian Havens to Explore in St. Augustine

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!!!

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.

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.

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!

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!!

Chris Erkelens

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.

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.

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 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!

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!

Wow! As someone with a gluten allergy, I can’t say thank you enough for taking it so seriously! They not only make my experience great, but offer delicious gluten free sub rolls and cookies!

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!

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.

What a great pizza place! I visited with my mom and we loved the options to build our own pizza. They even offered vegan cheese when I asked for cheese-less pizza and a gluten free dough for my mom. So many great topping options and did I mention? Excellent customer service. I highly recommend Your Pie and look forward to returning!

Dawn Thomas

Excellent gluten-free pizza.
