Vegan food from raw & juicy in Santa Rosa Beach, at their Grayton Beach location.

Vegan Food in Santa Rosa Beach

Apart from our on-site vegetarian and vegan cafe, Raw & Juicy, I was unfamiliar with many of the vegan food options on 30A, so I decided to research and put together a collection of some of my favorites for our guests. Most restaurants in this area are not exclusively vegan, but believe me, there is no shortage of healthy and delicious vegan food in our town.

Hibiscus Coffee & Guesthouse offers a free vegan breakfast for our guests every morning. If you’re interested in booking a room with us, you can find more information about our rooms here. You can also book a room with the link in the header.

Raw & Juicy, Grayton Beach

Raw & Juicy is Hibiscus Coffee & Guesthouse’s on-site vegan cafe, and they serve Hibiscus’s guests for free every morning. They are also open to the public. They’ve been around since 2008 and are highly respected in the community. They offer a variety of vegan and vegetarian dishes, such as an egg and cheese breakfast sandwich with the egg substituted for a chickpea scramble, and a Costa Rican breakfast bowl filled with rice, beans, salsa, and chickpea scramble. I highly recommend Raw & juicy to anyone looking for a vegan cafe.

Prema Organic Cafe

This cafe boasts a menu that is 100% organic, gluten-free, soy-free, and canola oil-free. They have hearty vegan salads as well as savory avocado toast and sweet almond butter toast, and one of my favorite breakfast items, the granola bowl. This is a great place to eat breakfast or lunch.

Nanbu Noodle Bar

Add something special to your vegan experience with this Japanese noodle bar. For lunch their “Soba Stir-Fry” is a great choice. For dinner try some of their “Bites” like their shishito peppers. And a delicious entree of Veggie Rice Bowl, with enoki mushroom as the protein. They also have a really good Assari Veggie Ramen. And along with their vegan food I have to mention their delicious Sake. This is a good choice for lunch or dinner, and it’s within walking distance of our guesthouse.

30A Thai Cuisine

30A Thai Cuisine is if you’re looking for more of a high end vegan restaurant. They have fresh spring rolls, a papaya salad, and house salad as good vegan starters. Follow that up with stir-fried vegetables with fried tofu, and a whole host of vegan noodle dishes. They also have many dishes that can be made vegan, a the staff is very well versed and knowledgeable about the menu and vegan diets. Finally for dessert they have a coconut glazed sticky rice with mango that’s definitely worth trying.

Surfing Deer

This is where my grandpa had his birthday party last year and we all loved it! It is a popular fine dining restaurant that’ll make you feel like a true socialite. Surfing Deer currently offers three vegan dishes, a crispy coconut and cauliflower curry, a creamy sweet corn fusilli pasta and for dessert a mixed berries cobbler. While their options for vegan food are limited, they’re incredibly tasty. Surfing Deer also has an extensive list of interesting beers, wines, and whiskeys. This one is well worth a try, just make sure to have a reservation as they are usually very busy.

Blue Mountain Beach Creamery

Blue Mountain Beach Creamery has the best ice-cream in town, and vegan ice-cream is no exception. Their vegan ice-creams are made with oat milk and their vegan flavors change regularly. At this time of writing this their vegan options were: Cookies & Cream, Cookie Dough, and Chocolate. They also offer a variety of sorbets. If you like ice-cream or sorbet, you’ll like the Blue Mountain Beach Creamery.

For the Health Of It

For the Health Of It is an organic grocer that’s been in Blue Mountain Beach for over 25 years. Right next to Blue Mountain Beach Creamery! Both of which have great vegan treats. Although it isn’t a restaurant, they do have vegan smoothies and a wonderful selection of vegan groceries. This is a great place to grab some vegan snacks for a picnic or try some new vegan products. I highly recommend it even if you’re not vegan.

Real and Raw 30A Organic Eatery

Real and Raw 30A Organic Eatery is an organic eatery with vegan and vegetarian options. I tried their La Joya Avocado Toast and it was to die for, very filling and very healthy. Since they are an organic eatery, they’re knowledgeable about their foods as well as vegan and vegetarian diets. When you order just tell them that you’re vegan and they’ll happily make accommodations for most menu items. They also have amazing coffees and smoothies that’re worth going for all on their own.

Pizza by the Sea

Pizza by the Sea has some of the best pizza in town. They have options for Violife cheese and vegan crust, both of which are an upcharge. Making a vegan 10″ pizza start at around $22, plus another $1.50 per topping. But this is a good option if you’re looking to eat pizza while you’re out and about or don’t have an oven where you’re staying.


  • Very cozy and serene. I’m glad I took pictures because I need to look back at the images to get me through the tough days. Very walkable. Nice, friendly staff. Cozy rooms. Plenty of places just to hang out and relax. I hope to go back as soon as my time and finances allow.

    What a great spot! We have been coming to Grayton Beach for a long time. Our first stay at the Hibiscus Inn and we Absolutely loved it. We will definitely be back. Love that the Tram down to the beach will pick us up right across the street from the Inn. Room was clean, and the service was outstanding. Ambiance outside at night is perfect to enjoy the sounds of nature while sipping a glass of wine. You can not go wrong with this place.

    I haven’t booked a room there yet but attended an event there during the 30A Songwriters Festival and loved the calm and friendly atmosphere and the obvious care for their guests. I will definitely return for a stay.

    We had a big room with a nice king bed and a huge bathroom with a claw foot club. All antiques furnish the room with painted wood floors. Like staying with your grandmother but more comfortable. I left my Kindle there and the staff couldn’t have been more generous about hunting for it and ultimately finding it with a promise to ship it to me the next day. If you are tired of being “just another guest” at a big hotel this place is for you. The vegan cafe is supposed to be great and I have no doubt that it is. It was crowded when we stopped by to grab a bite and unfortunately we couldn’t wait for the crowd to thin… we had to get on the road. Would definitely go back.

    The Hibiscus Guesthouse (B&B) is everything you need and nothing you don’t! The accommodations are simple (have an old Florida feel), room clean, gardens beautiful, and an ideal spot. …

  • This is such a hidden gem! Is it the Ritz? No but it’s charming, beachy and convenient to the beach, bars and restaurants. We stayed in the Tropical Bird room and shared a kitchen with friends who stayed in the Romance Room. Both rooms were clean and comfortable with plenty of space. The restaurant next door was delicious!

    Friendly manager at check-in. Clean and quaint furnishings. Definitely a step back in time. Great ambiance. AC went right to work lowering humidity with just the right temp. Community kitchen nicely functional. Lucky for me the neighbors were friendly. Shower was nice and forceful. I recommend this place for a beach experience.

    Hibiscus Inn is a Grayt little find. We have stayed here before and will again. During this visit, we stayed in the Woodpecker cottage, which was perfect. The rooms are always clean, and Hibiscus management is available if needed.  …

  • Hibiscus room was a large and comfortable room. I think an upgrade on the sheets would be good. Breakfast fantastic. Wonderful setting for a walk. Beach gorgeous. Everyone needs to eat at The Red Barn. Portions are huge. We split one. It can get very busy.
    Loved our little get away and would return.

    We had the best stay! The staff even helped my boyfriend coordinate a birthday surprise of a flower delivery for our room. It was quiet and the perfect distance to restaurants and the beach! It was perfect.

    It is a wonderful location. The room was clean and quite, we are only in the room to shower and sleep. The cafe had excellent breakfast. We found dinner right around the corner. Walk the beach half mile away or take trolley for a short ride. Many hikes/bikes/running trails available in walking distance.

    Love this place. Great atmosphere. Hippy, old Florida vibes. I’ve stayed here a few times. Some rooms are quieter than others. Overall a great spot. I hope it never goes away. A wonderful and reasonably priced place with easy beach access.
