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.

  • 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. …

    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. ❤️

    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.

    Hibiscus Guesthouse is a hidden gem! We’ve been to the area for many years, but only needed a few nights to attend a wedding, so gave it a try! Rented bikes and rode around the area and to/from the beach every day! The breakfast options are amazing and everyone is super nice!

    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!

  • Very laidback beachy vibe. Interesting layout of the property and very secluded tucked away in an area of grayton beach with nearby amenities, shops and restaurants walking distance. Tram service to the beach is free and they pick you up right across the street from the Hibiscus. Runs till 10 PM at night. Runs every 10 minutes so there’s never a long wait. Free breakfast in the morning in the café and it’s always delicious. The staff is so nice and friendly. We discovered the hibiscus a few years ago and returned this year for another great stay.

    Since 2011, Hibiscus Guest House has been our cherished haven every time we venture to the enchanting 30A area. The hotel staff, with their unwavering warmth, friendliness, and eagerness to cater to our needs, have made each stay a true delight. Hibiscus holds a special corner in our hearts, just as it does for countless others who have graced its welcoming embrace over the years.
    Oh, the memories of waffle wonders, egg frittatas, and biscuits & gravy linger fondly in our minds. With the arrival of new management at the guest house cafe, offering most breakfast menu items inclusive for house guests (excluding specialty drinks), we eagerly anticipate new culinary adventures while cherishing the familiar flavors of the past.
    While some of the guest rooms may benefit from a touch of upkeep to maintain their timeless charm, the overall allure of this beautiful and nostalgic place remains unwavering. Hibiscus Guest House continues to be our go-to sanctuary for vacation stays, a place where we can unwind and reconnect with the essence of tranquility.
    As we eagerly await each return to this beloved retreat, we do so with hearts full of gratitude and anticipation, knowing that with each visit, Hibiscus Guest House has the potential to become even more extraordinary, weaving its magic into our cherished memories once again.

    Hibiscus is a relaxing, friendly place to stay! It is terrific when you have a little critter as part of the family as they have some pet-friendly rooms. There is a nice garden-like atmosphere! Breakfast is included, and there are healthy choices.

    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.

    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.

  • 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.

    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!

    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 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!

    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!!
