This is 100% Gluten-free and I loved it. So many options from the food to the drinks. For once I did not have to stress on what to get nor worry about cross contamination. I will be back!!
It’s great that options for gluten free are being made but as someone who is Celiac and has had their fair share of Gluten Free items, you can find better tasting desserts in middle of no where places like Scranton, PA. I want to be as constructive as possible in this review because it really is great that there are dedicated GF bakeries for those that are intolerant or Celiac, but that’s the only reason why it’s two stars and not one.
PRICING
I ordered a red velvet and vanilla cupcake and before I could even enjoy my cupcake I was very alarmed when I saw each cupcake rang up as 4 dollars. Again, these are normal sized cupcakes and if anything they are a bit on the smaller size. I understand that this is a niche small business trying to stay afloat but you have to consider that eating gluten free does not mean I have money to waste. Because I have Celiacs, I have no other option but to eat GF but today I decided it would be nice to splurge a little on a cupcake. However, if you are the average person in Miami, you will not be able to justify the cost of a singular cupcake. I’m also going to add on to here that the machine asked automatically for 18%,20%, or 25% tip… for takeout.
TASTE
Vanilla tasted strongly artificial and not pleasant. Red velvet was bitter and mild in every other flavor and was not well balanced with the cream cheese. Texture was gritty on both, more so on the vanilla. Aftertaste is not pleasant and is a somewhat tarty/sour, acidic, and bitter taste.
CONCLUSION
Saying you’re gluten free is not an excuse to make a bad menu item. The recipes are not refined and feel like a first attempt at making a gluten free dessert. Especially at the price range, I do not recommend the average person come here as the food will be subpar for what you pay for. Overall, I am disappointed after having read so many excellent reviews. I will continue to search for better GF options in Miami but I will not come here again. Thanks for spending the time to read this.
Seriously this was the best gluten free stuff I have ever had. I’ve recently been diagnosed with celiac and have struggled to find a bread I enjoy. I came here for challah but left with sour dough bread, cookies, a bagel, cake and banana bread. The owner was so sweet and everyone who worked there was so nice. They have samples of everything. I went with my dad who is not gluten free and he loved it all!
As someone highly allergic to dairy it was exciting to hear that this vegan gluten free bakery opened in the area. Unfortunately it was a bit of a let down. For bakery items my family got cupcakes and donuts. The cupcakes were decent, not dense like a usual gluten free cupcake but there was no flavor to the cake. The vanilla one just tasted plain. The strawberry cheesecake donut had a great icing to it but the donut itself was dense and not like a donut at all. The frozen Katz donuts from the grocery store are better. Each pastry was $6 which seems overpriced for a barely mediocre dessert and they are not huge either. We took home the blueberry waffles($12 for a whole waffle which was cut up into 1/4 sections) , they are ok. The flavor tasted like a normal blueberry waffle and the texture was ok. Very average waffle. The mac and cheese ($16 for 2 servings) I got was very off putting. The cheese flavor was good, comparable to follow your heart brand but the noodles were awful, I made sure not to overheat it but somehow they came out very chewy. I want to give this place another go but am hesitant to due to the price point and a poor first impression.
I am celiac, dairy-free, and soy free. This was the first restaurant I felt comfortable eating in since the waiter and kitchen staff took all my dietary restrictions seriously and recommended certain foods that would abide to all of them. It is not easy to find an accommodating restaurant. I highly recommend this place for those who are very sensitive to strict dietary restrictions!! The food was prepared by a chef and the taste was phenomenal!!!
Food was very good but the music and service was more of an issue. It is already very busy and very loud, and adding a live band was not a good idea. We had to shout to hear each other, the toddler I was with wouldn’t eat her food until the breaks in between songs due to her covering her ears cause the music was so loud. Server dropped one of our meals and it took another 15 minutes before it came back out. We had a gluten free meal that came out around 15 minutes after everyone else’s food. Wrong sides with some meals as well. But being next to the water and slightly outside has a nice vibe and atmosphere.
Chicken tenders to die for fried pickles are from my dreams and they will fry anything on their menu gluten free. Buffalo chicken Mac and cheese was out of this world and I actually have teared up many times from the taste of their amazing gluten free food.
It's a really amazing experience. So many options for all people in my party. Not one person had a bad thing to say. Took a container of the jam to go because it was so good.
This place was an absolute delight! The food was so fresh and so many options for gluten free foodies!! Wonderful staff! And a wonderful place! Will definitely go back when I am in the area.
Amazing food and gluten free options. Highly recommended if you are visiting St. Augustine. Staff was extremely friendly and made it a pleasure to visit. Definitely save room for the ice cream.
Came in with my husband for his birthday to treat him. The owner is so kind and knowledgeable about everything gluten free. The desserts were absolutely amazing and you genuinely couldn’t even tell they were gluten. Made my husband’s (who is a huge sweet tooth) whole day as we are from a small town with no gluten free options and are both celiac. Super grateful for this bakery and we will definitely be returning.

Went twice, two different dinners. Almost everything is GF, they have a disclaimer on CC, knowledgeable and instilled confidence when I asked questions and ordered.
First dinner I had popcorn shrimp and fried pickles. Delicious!
Went back on our last night for a blackened grouper sandwich on a Udi bun, with kettle cooked Bay chips. May have been my favorite meal. No issues after!
We will definitely be back!
Everything we ordered was amazing, the food there always leaves us feeling full but energetic. It’s great being able to have a nice meal without feeling tired or bloated after. Ron provides amazing service and gives the best recommendations.
We started with the mussels, they were delicious and the sauce was so good we had to order more of their gluten free bread to soak it up. Their bread tastes delicious and literally melts in your mouth.
The spicy watermelon margarita was one of the best alcoholic beverages I’ve ever had, I had planned on doing the wine pairing but the margarita was so good I ended up ordering another instead.
Then I tried the French onion soup, it was so fresh and delicious with a great heap of goat cheddar on top.
For my main course I had lasagna at Ron’s recommendation. It was phenomenal, it was hard to believe it was gluten free. I did steal a few bites of my fiancée’s carbonara with filet added and it was also delicious.
We ended the night with the orange cake, it was the perfect end to the night, so much flavor!
Had such a great experience here! I am gluten free and ordered a pizza for pick up - the team was so nice and honest and let us know it would be longer than expected because my pizza was in contact with gluten so they were completely remaking it. I love the honesty and safety they provided and the pizza was great as always. I highly recommend for any allergy needs to come here, they’ll keep you safe!
The food was absolutely delicious! We were thrilled with their great selection of gluten-free options, which allowed us to enjoy a wonderful meal without worrying about our gluten allergy.
Wonderful food and warm service from
The owner onsite who is celiac herself.
How refreshing is it to be welcomed into a restaurant with my gluten allergy instead of tolerating me. They get it and are careful.
The lasagna was amazing the other night in fact it was gone so fast I didn’t know what happened to it 😀
So glad we found this place! Dedicated gluten free food and gluten removed beer. The staff was so nice and personable. We will definitely be stopping by again!
YOU WIN!! Congratulations, you found the best gf baker in south Florida. She also needs help in the kitchen, if you know anyone looking for a job baking , contact her, she nailed it. Learn from her, support her, eat her delicious breads, be happy . Let’s her her business to fly, and franchise
Ripe is our favorite restaurant! The food is always prepared fresh and you can tell they put all the care into sourcing fresh ingredients and preparing everything from scratch--a true "slow food" philosophy and experience (look it up, it's a whole movement countering fast food and hyper processed junk). You feel like you are eating real food, prepared lovingly and with the utmost care. And that is to say nothing of the service! Everyone at ripe is kind, attentive, and always seeking to make every patron's experience the best! Emilio, chef and owner, is always present, tending to every detail of the operation, and interacting with guests! That is to say nothing of their accommodations for allergies! Did I mention Ripe is 100% gluten free?? For customers with a gluten intolerance, you can eat and rest assured that everything you consume will be fresh, healthy, and wholesome. If I could give Ripe ten stars, I would! Highly recommend!
Best gluten free restaurant for celiacs. Huge gluten free menu. They have a separate kitchen for gluten free so no cross contamination. Staff is very knowledgeable and always asks if you have an allergy.
I love everything about this place. As somebody who eats gluten and dairy free, it’s always so easy to find stuff to eat on the menu. Did I mention all of it is ridiculously delicious? The staff is friendly and the service is quick. 10/10 would recommend
Absolutely amazing. The food is great, the workers are amazing, the place is great. I absolutely would recommend coming in whether you can’t have gluten or just want a tasty treat!
I am gluten free and could not be happier, the food was amazing. The owner gave me an entire tour of the kitchen and the extent they go through to ensure the gluten free food they serve is actually gluten free. I did not ask for this yet I am blown away by how amazing this place is. Please if you’re gluten free or know people who are send them here. They have gluten free fried chicken tenders shrimp they have gluten free desserts and burger buns. Gluten free Alfredo and scampi with amazing pasta and gluten free garlic bread. If you’re dealing with celiac you will be safe here I can promise you that!
This is a very nice spot located in a shopping center that offers gluten free options for those that need it. The atmosphere is calm.The food is good and the surface is top, notch. I would recommend if your passing through the Space Coast.
Believe. The. Hype.
Pastry Power has officially blown my gluten-free mind. I just demolished one of their cinnamon rolls and, THANKFULLY, had the foresight (and a healthy fear of regret) to order two. This place is an absolute must-order for any GF Disney traveler.
They deliver straight to your hotel. The owner is super responsive, friendly, and her customer service is top-notch. My tip? Order well in advance and schedule delivery for day 1 or 2 of your trip—because once you taste it, you’ll wish you had it your whole stay.
For those of you who live in Orlando, you are BLESSED.
It was a treat for my little one to walk into a place and pick what ever he wanted. He usually has to settle for dairy& gluten free option, if they have one. Thank you!!!
I don’t get to make it to this type of town very often but when I do, I make it a point to stop by and get their gluten-free chicken tenders and french fries. For somebody who eats gluten-free it’s the little things in life that really make a huge difference in your day.
Awesome food. Been here two days in a row and it’s really a great place. Today I had a smoothie and avocado toast on gluten free bread - tastes amazing! Staff super friendly as well! Thank you!
Was really looking forward to this place but was hugely underwhelmed.
First off, didn’t see anywhere online where you could make reservations so waited an hour and 20 minutes to seat two people.
Gluten free bread had a weird after taste and the dipping sauce spices.
Got our dinner and was up charged for the store bought gluten free noodles on the chicken parm.
My husband got spaghetti and they also upcharged him for noodle swap
We came to celebrate a birthday and was charged for the birthday dessert which I have Never had happen at any restaurant-besides the fact that it was just bleh custard
Overall, food lacking in flavor and quality and wildly overpriced.
Of note-we both finished eating and felt sick after ..sharp pain in stomach sick and he never has food troubles.
Only reason this place is getting 3 star is for our server.
Mike Magnuson is amazing!! He made sure my gluten free needs were addressed while making sure I didn’t feel left out or different! He was super attentive and helpful, he even helped update the membership information! Definitely someone I would request in the future! He took the experience to another level! Thank you so much Mike!!
