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.


  • We loved our stay at The Hibiscus. The quiet artsy vibe of Grayton Beach is exactly what my husband and I like. The retro “old Florida” kitschy decor in the room was fun, and we loved the size of our room and bathroom. The included organic, vegetarian breakfast from Raw & Juicy was delicious, and we loved waking up, doing yoga in the garden and then getting a healthy meal. The walk to the beach was 8 minutes or we sometimes rode the free beach shuttle. We walked to every meal, there are so many restaurants in the area, and the general store is also very close. It was so nice to have everything in walking distance. We can’t wait to go back.

    Great Ending ||We stayed here at the end of my birthday beach trip and it was a good ending. We got a good rate as a walk-in and it is in walking distance of everything but also has shuttle if you prefer to ride. …

    We had a great stay at Hibiscus Coffee & Guesthouse. Our room, Flat 4, was exactly as advertised. The furnishings were reminiscent of Old Florida and very well done. All of the staff made us feel very welcome. Would recommend it to anyone wanting a more laid back atmosphere on 30a.

    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.

    This is a hidden gem. We stay in the one bedroom apartment as a small family of three. A short walk to the beach, the general store for basic things you may have forgotten to pack, and all the yummy restaurants in the grayton area. The breakfast is amazing no matter what you order. Cannot beat the price! This is our favorite and we come back one to two times a year for quick weekend getaways. Staff is friendly and the grounds are so peaceful.

    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.

    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!

    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 very lovely, eclectic inn! Everything about HC&G exceeded our expectations … the kindness and attitude of the staff; the beautiful, natural setting; the clean, charming room; the included breakfast. And what a fantastic location – 10 minute walk to the beach, and directly on the beach shuttle route. Nearby restaurants abound. A place to return to year after year.

    Quaint inn with lots of charm. The Romance room has a fabulous Jacuzzi tub. So convenient to have a café on site and it’s just a short walk to the beach and tiny downtown area with several great restaurants. Definitely recommend The Red Bar. We had a wonderful 39th anniversary stay!

    The perfect location for your stay in the area. It’s walking distance from the public access to the ocean and centrally located from shops nearby. The breakfast included is DEVINE! The backyard of love is a super find. They host wellness events on the weekends and periodically will turn the patio into an event for drinking and dancing (super fun). The room we stayed in (Turner) was lovely. It had all of the modern creature comforts but was furnished with historic pieces (that bathtub) that added to the charm of our stay. Would absolutely stay here again and would certainly encourage our friends and family too as well.
