Review: My daughter is gluten free and when planning our trip to St Augustine, I googled GF bakeries and the photos showed this magical plethora of delectable pastries. We set it on our driving path, eager to buy samples and return for faves. Upon entering the store there was strange smell. Something similar to when you walk into a not recently cleaned elderly home/health food store whose supplements contribute to a medicinal smell. NOT the smell for a bakery. We walked toward the display of baked goods to find a shortage of choices that did not resemble the promised photos on the website. These baked goods looked like failed first time attempts at baking. Disheartened but keeping an open mind, we selected a nutter butter and a mint ice cream sandwich. My daughter put the nutter butter in her mouth, started to chew, and her face turned to an - oh my goodness I have to spit this out - reaction. Next up, the ice cream sandwich. The reason we ventured here. The picture that said a thousand words, this sandwich did not look like the picture. I was skeptical. The mint color looked pale - I took a bite. I chewed and the flavor of the cookie was awful. I had to spit it out. We really went with grand hopes of a website promise and left feeling like we wasted our money and needing to cleanse our pallets. The world for GF people is an oyster full of delicacies where you don’t need to feel trapped in the GF cage. Alms Fare puts you back in that cage. That cage that reminds you that each bite you take you take as a second class citizen. GF can be glorious. Don’t keep the myth alive with this subpar bakery.

Review: As someone with Celiac Disease, it is so wonderful to be able to walk in to a bakery and know that I can eat anything and everything -- Alms & Fare allows me to do just that. Not only do they provide an amazing variety of Celiac-safe options, everything is absolutely delicious! The bagels are huge, soft and chewy...just perfect! The selection of sweet treats is amazing and one is better than the next. Fabulous!!

Review: The best pumpkin spice latte I’ve ever had — you could actually taste the pumpkin puree and spices! The veggie galette was so delicious as well. Can’t wait to come back when we roll through St Aug again!

Review: Highly recommend! I have been gluten free for 10+ years and this is by far the BEST gf bakery I’ve been to - excellent coffee too! (Photo includes Raspberry-Vanilla Cupcake, Nutter Butter PB Sandwich Cookie, Americano, and Orange-Vanilla Cookie)
