    Super cute eatery, glad I popped in for a quick bite while I was on the road. I grabbed a chocolate banana bread slice and it was amazing. Losing and delicious. A bagel, everything, with vegan cream cheese and regular because I was curious about the vegan. Also they have shirts and tanks really the best super soft material 10/10 recommend.

    Stopped by on our way home from a one night stay in Saint Augustine for a coffee and this place is CUTE! It's like stepping into a cute kitchen in someone home. It is gluten free, refined sugar free, I think dairy free too. I got an iced strawberry oat milk latte that could've been a bit sweeter or more strawberry flavor but was still really good and creamy! We didn't get any pastries but they all looked lovely! The two woman working were very nice and friendly! Check them out if you're in Saint Augustine!

    Such a cute little place. All treats are dairy and GF. If it's 100% vegan that will also be indicated.

    Fast and friendly service. This is our second time here and I love all the GF options! I had an almond biscotti last time which was great and the coffee cake today - also amazing! I am taking home a cinnamon roll for later and a bag of their Dolce Espresso blend. We sat outside and enjoyed the weather. It's not the nicest outdoor area due to all the traffic but it makes for some interesting people watching.

    I am totally a gluten-free girly and was so looking forward to visiting here. Upon arriving I was asking questions about some of the baked goods trying to decide what I wanted and I found the customer service and the interaction of questions answered to be totally lacking... which to me is almost as more important then the products. I couldnt decided what I wanted, but I opted for a soma chocolate doughnut which was just good and a little mushy and small for the price. The flavor was not what I expected. I also had a peppermint ice cream bar which I had to leave sitting in the car for 10 minutes just to take a bite out of. The 2 lattes were normal. I understand gluten-free is hard to do, but I really had such high hopes for this with my allergies. I'm hoping I just caught them on an off day and want to try again!

    Absolutely recommend this beautiful little gem! Had the lemon loaf and an iced honey lavender latte with coconut milk. For someone with celiac this place was excellent. The lemon loaf is seasonal, and totally worth it! I can't wait to go back and try their version of a toaster pastry!

    Amazing gluten-free selection super friendly staff! Would recommend to anyone. A real highchair and a real changing table for those parents who really want to have comfortable coffee and breakfast in the morning.

    Alms + Fare is all about making sweet things simple, with treats that are delicious yet nutritious. They have Vegan, gluten free, dairy free and naturally sweet treats! So nice to chat with the owner Christine of the beautiful cafe. They saw how difficult it was for people with food intolerances to find nutritious and delicious treats. They decided it was time to  make it easier for them to truly enjoy snacks and desserts. They also launched SMOOTHIE BOWLS just in time for summer! Choose from Pink Paradise Bowl made with dragonfruit, or Berry Bliss Bowl made with açaí. Both are topped with fresh fruit & their house-made gluten-free granola! --- Alms + Fare was founded with a mission to make sweet things simple, with treats that are delicious yet wholesome. By using just a few quality ingredients to create our snacks and desserts, they are sure to both benefit your body, and satisfy your sweet tooth. All of our treats are gluten free, dairy free, and naturally sweetened - with all the good taste still packed in. "We don't just make delicious treats, we're also on a mission to make healthy food accessible to all, to alleviate hunger, and to teach the importance of nourishing our bodies with good food. Every time you buy our treats, we donate to organizations who work toward this cause," said Christine. This is what the 'Alms'  in Alms + Fare is all about - charitable giving. Alms and Fare coffee dessert Christine Apthorp 904.419.9709 almsandfare.com 154 San Marco Avenue, St. Augustine, Florida

    Cute little coffee spot! We didn't want to get any pastries but they had a wide variety of them. I decided to get the seasonal pumpkin spiced latte. It was delicious very strong in spices! If you want to support local businesses and get your caffeine on I def recommend it! Cute little corner with great service!

    I love the entire premise for this place!! Real ingredients and delicious bakery items! The shop is one the smaller side, with some seating inside and a small counter for ordering. Everything is very bright and airy in here, i love the vibe of the place. I've tried 5 of their bakery items now and each one was absolutely delicious, and bonus, that it made me feel good with the GF and DF!! The cookie bun, cinnamon roll, and snickerdoodle blondie were some of my favorites, but the pecan brownie and poptart were also great! You really can't go wrong with anything here! The only thing that I've noticed, is everytime i come, the baristas are not friendly and just seem like they don't want to be there. Not a big deal to me but ruins the energy sometimes. Other than that, this is the perfect place for anyone wanting a yummy sweet treat and coffee! The vegan, GF, DF options are delicious and not terrible for you too! I love it!!

    Apple cinnamon "poptart" - mumbled "dang...that's freaking good" more than once.

    First time trying Alms + Fare and it...naturally...didn't disappoint. We had excellent service, enjoyed the ambiance, and will definitely be coming back for their coffees and in house made treats.

    Great deserts and coffee. Also has smoothies!!! Nice atmosphere. Highly recommended.

    Double layer coconut cake :)
    Megan L.

    Can't even begin to describe the customer service of alms + fare! I reached out on their website asking if they made custom cakes and I was e-mailed back by Christine, the owner, stating that they could. We went back and forth about details for my mom's 60th birthday cake (she is gluten free and it's hard for her to find delicious desserts) and chose a pick up date and time. The cake was exactly what I asked for - a double layer coconut cake with micro flowers and they even wrote on it. It was very affordable, I totally expected to pay a lot more for the cake so I made sure to leave a tip. Super cute and clean inside. It was delicious as well..super moist and not too sweet. Thank you Christine and thank you Anna (for baking it!)

There's always something new to explore, and Myth & Legend did not disappoint. It was actually recommended to us by another restaurant we were visiting, and we're so glad we stopped in. Their menu features one of the most creative selections of handcrafted coffees and matcha drinks I've ever seen. I ordered the peanut butter cold foam coffee topped with freeze-dried strawberries, and it tasted exactly like a PB&J sandwich in the best possible way. It was absolutely incredible. The atmosphere was welcoming, the drinks were thoughtfully crafted, and you can tell a lot of creativity goes into everything they do.

It's the kind of place that feels cozy but also open and airy at the same time. The coffee was delicious and well made. I originally wanted to try their heated cheddar bagel, but unfortunately their oven was broken that day. Even so, I decided to try it untoasted and it still tasted great! The flavor was really good and it paired nicely with the coffee. Overall, it's a lovely spot to sit and enjoy a drink, especially with all that natural light coming through the windows. I'd definitely come back again--hopefully next time when the oven is working so I can try that cheddar bagel toasted!

    Daughter ordered a salted caramel latte but didn't like it. Said it was too bitter, not sweet enough & couldn't taste the salt or caramel.

We chose this spot for breakfast/brunch and what a fantastic find. The atmosphere is beautiful and upscale without feeling like you need to whisper or worry that you're holding your fork incorrectly. I went with the Gruyère cheese and ham omelette, and honestly, I'm not sure how they managed to make eggs this light. The omelette was delicate, fluffy, and absolutely delicious. The kind of breakfast where you take a bite and immediately start thinking, "Well, now I'm going to have to compare every omelette I eat from this point forward." My wife ordered the spinach and mushroom quiche, which can only be described as decadent. Rich, flavorful, and the kind of dish that makes you slow down and appreciate what's happening on the plate. The atmosphere is beautiful, the service was spectacular, and the entire experience felt like a special occasion even though we were simply there for breakfast. French Pantry was a fantastic find and absolutely deserving of five stars. If you're in St. Augustine looking for a breakfast or brunch experience that feels a little elevated, this is one to put on your list.

That one's more grab-and-go bakery vibes, but this location is full-on fine dining. Spacious, elegant decor, the kind of place you'd actually dress up a little for. We got the chicken panini, bang bang shrimp, and pesto bucatini, and honestly all three were really good. Nothing fell flat. The bucatini had great flavor, the shrimp had that perfect crunch with a good kick, and the panini was solid comfort food done right. Service was great too -- attentive without hovering. If you only know them from Jacksonville, this location is a totally different experience. Worth the trip.
