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.


  • Such a chill vibe, lovely old Florida decor but well stocked little kitchen and bathroom. Wonderful food and coffee. Love the pet friendly flats!

    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.

    The most relaxed vacation I’ve EVER had!!! The room was comfortable, clean and provided everything we needed “Funky Bird”. Quick bike ride to the Grayton Beach public beach access. Everyone was friendly, and breakfast provided with your stay was a plus!! Close to many great restaurants. I would stay here again and again!!

    We stayed in the Woodpecker Cottage and loved it! It’s perfect for a couple … it’s private, cozy and cute. The staff was friendly and accommodating, and the breakfast was so delicious (I recommend the Waffle Wonderful and the Baked Frittata). The location is perfect, just a short bike ride to the beach, restaurants and shopping. We will definitely be back!

  • 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.

    I booked the Hibiscus for my wedding weekend in Grayton Beach. They were able to accommodate my guests traveling in from 6 different states. Warren and his team made my guests feel welcome and the breakfast is awesome! This is truly a hidden gem. If you’re just in town for the day or passing through, stop at the cafe for a bite to eat.

    We chose Hibiscus because of the proximity to our daughter’s wedding venue and we were so pleased. We stayed in Flat 2. It was very clean and the king bed was very comfortable.  …

    We loved our second stay at the Hibiscus! This was our first time bringing children. The upstairs room in Bert’s Barn was a great fit for us. Breakfast was perfect each morning and you can’t beat the beauty and charm of the property. We’ll be back!

    Wonderful staff, great location and great breakfast. The backyard of love is a great place to relax. We have been vacationing here for over 10 years and have never had a bad experience. We feel privileged and lucky each time we can come. Tons of food and drink options within walking distance!

    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.

    This place was super cute and eclectic! We were only there one night for a wedding and the location was absolutely perfect! We stayed in the Magnolia Room and had everything we needed for our short stay! Had to leave before 7:30am breakfast 🙁 so we missed out!

    After multiple visits over 15 years, my husband and I still love this place. Warren, the owner is easy going, gracious and always willing to help. Located in the middle of what feels like a quaint and beautiful tropical garden, each room has a theme which seems to fit perfectly with the setting. If you want contemporary, this isn’t it. If you are looking for different – eclectic and quirky, always spotless,with old fashioned Florida friendliness, you found it! New person at the desk is Keturah. Someone made for the hospitality industry / Wow!
    By the way, the breakfast is really good with options for the nutrition conscious. They have a new smoothie menu – only tried one – Honey something- sure was good!
