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.

    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 loved the Turner Room; the space was adequate. The bedroom and bathroom were very clean and quaint. It was a great location for the price. We enjoyed the restaurant next door and the grocery store. We caught the free shuttle down to The Red Bar and back, which ran every 10 minutes. We rode our bikes down the road, where we enjoyed ice cream one day! The beach is very close and we enjoyed the breeze. Also, one day we drove down to Seaside; we loved shopping and eating pizza at Bud and Alley’s! We will definitely be back! We love 30A and Grayton Beach!!!!

    An wonderful cozy little coffee shop. I drink a lot of coffee and their drip coffee was great! The interior is cute and well decorated, lots of cozy “grandma’s house” vibes. The people serving were polite and courteous and their garden was lovely. We will definitely come back on our next trip. ❤️

    We stayed in the woodpecker cottage after our wedding and it was perfect. Great location, great size for two, and great price. I wish we could have stayed longer and would definitely stay here again. The included breakfast was delicious too!

    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.  …

    My wife and I had a perfect getaway weekend for our anniversary. The room was as cozy as we could hope for, the staff was friendly, the breakfast was on point both mornings and the location couldn’t be beat. We definitely plan to return.

    Loved our stay here. Comfortable & clean. Nice staff. Quirky & vintage style. We stayed in The Big Easy room & it was very quiet. Walking distance to beach but there’s a tram pick up & drop off right up the street that will take you to the beach area & Red Bar. Will definitely stay again when visiting the area.

    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!

    For over a decade, we have been staying at Hibiscus Cafe and Guest House every time we visit the beaches along 30A, and we have consistently enjoyed our experiences there.
    We appreciate their love for their place and the consistent service they provide. The boutique-style B&B guest rooms offer a unique and enjoyable experience compared to the highly commercial rental properties and hotels in the area. The breakfast menu is always a highlight, with the waffles being a particular favorite of ours, loaded with fresh fruits and yummy peanut butter. The location is also ideal, within walking distance of the beach and plenty of restaurants to choose from. The attentive staff are always ready to make your vacation relaxing and memorable. Overall, we highly recommend Hibiscus Cafe and Guest House for anyone looking for a charming and enjoyable stay along 30A.

    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. …

    We loved our stay! We recently stayed 3 nights in Flat 4 and everything was great. Check in was easy, room was very clean and well furnished, and the decor was super cute! We really enjoyed free breakfast in the morning and the plants all around the grounds. The room was very quiet, comfortable, and only a 10 minute walk to the beach. Lots of close restaurants near to walk to and a close corner store.

  • 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.  …

    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.

    We absolutely loved our stay! It was my first time to stay here, and is now one of my favorites! Each of the rooms are a little different depending on your needs. We stayed in a one bedroom, one bath flat on the ground level. It had a king size bed in bedroom, a living room with pull out sofa, full kitchen, and a washer and dryer too. We had front door parking, which made unloading and loading our car so easy. It was very clean and spacious. They provided bath products and had the softest bath towels, and provided beach towels too. If you like quaint, eclectic and old Florida style this is a must stay for you. The location is the perfect setting in the heart of the area on the Main Street tucked behind big beautiful trees with shaded areas for parking and plenty of outdoor tables and chairs. The staff was so friendly and helpful making sure all our needs were met. A complimentary tram service to the beach and restaurants in Grayton Beach is provided daily, and runs every 10-15 minutes until 10pm, we never had to wait longer than 5 min and there was never a line. The tram stop is located across the street, this was very helpful and so convenient! They also provide a delicious, homemade complimentary daily breakfast in the cafe. These are just a few of the things I loved about our stay. I highly recommend, and look forward to our next visit!

    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!
