    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.

    The food and drinks were amazing!! The food there is great for Vegan, Dairy Free, and Gluten Free eaters! As a foodie myself i love my sweet treats but i am lactose intolerant which makes it hard to find GOOD dairy free sweets...this place has it ALL!! They also have a good variety of drinks..coffee, latte, smoothies, tea and espressos! The people there are super nice and friendly...very welcoming and understanding. The place itself is very quaint and small, i loved the atmosphere and the design. Definitely will be coming here more often

During that initial stay, I walked here a couple of times to pick up treats and they didn't disappoint. Since then it has become a go-to when we have guests visiting and want to have dessert on hand. It is a pretty interior space with desserts and treats galore. They are beautifully made and a treat for all your senses. The staff on my visits have always been so friendly and helpful. (I love the southern hospitality we experience at so many places in St. Augustine.) My favorite treat may just be the cannoli. They are smaller sized than what I am used to back home...but this is good thing! in my opinion. There are an assortment of chocolates, brownies, cookies, some candies, croissants...and a variety of cakes and pies. We are not huge sweets eaters but this place is hard to resist.

The stand outs were the pumpkin flavored desserts including the cheesecake. They were so flavorful, I kept going for more. I also got the raspberry cheesecake which didn't have enough raspberry flavor but had a delicious crust. I will come back here the next time I'm in the area and try more.

I ordered two glasses of Prosecco and she informs me that they are out of Prosecco. What!? I then order a can of IPA and a glass of white wine for my gf, which took way too long to get. Plus my beer wasn't even that cold and her wine wasn't good either. I asked about the cheese tray + wine and she looked confused. I asked her what cheeses came on it and she said she didn't know, but she'd find out, but never did. lol. I came here prepared to buy a bottle of Prosecco and a cheese tray to sit outside and enjoy with my gf but that didn't happen. If you are working at a place you should know the couple things that you do serve and know them very well. There also wasn't any clean glasses for the spa water. The deserts did look good but god forbid I asked either of them a question about them because they would have looked at me befuddled. I highly doubt I'll ever come back here again. Good luck with your questions and selections.

The cake pop was really the only item that drew praise from my crew. Breakfast croissants were "mid" per my teens... I now know what an overdone eggs tastes like. The "pancakes" were thick and more of a biscuit like consistency. Next time, will likely stick to the pastries in the window.

Back story- my four year old son is staying/vacationing with my parents, his grandparents, for a few weeks this summer and when their journey took them to a friends house in East Moriches this week I really wanted to send him a special treat to remind him how much me and his father love him! Google searching lead me to Cynthia and I sent a message to her through her website. She answered almost immediately and made my wish to send my son cupcakes a reality. And it was so simple and sweet! She personally delivered the cupcakes just an hour or so ago and he ate two while skyping with me. He said they are delicious!
