What an incredible 5 star experience we had at the Red Bud Cafe yesterday! A meal here—now that is something special! Like you I read the reviews searching dozens of spots in the Daytona or Ormond Beach area for a meal, in our case particularly one offering gluten-free dairy-free entree options. When I called ahead, the quality of the information and willingness to answer my detailed questions, even during lunch hour, left me assuming I must be speaking to the owner, and indeed I discovered later that I was. Where to begin to tell you how impressed I was with the experience we had at Gio’s cafe?! Upon entering we were seated at a comfortable table with cushioned chairs and he thoughtfully brought an extra cushion for my elderly parents’ backs as well. Ordering from the interesting and delightful menu was fun but offered so many options that we simply focused on what we were craving: crepes! We were amazed to find that they offer 4 batters to select from—gluten free, vegan, traditional, and even gluten free vegan (dairy free!!) Oh and the selection was so wonderful ranging from savory to sweet! Gio allowed us to customize to our dietary needs and interests but nothing could have prepared us for the HUGE portion sizes!! Served so quickly that we were very pleased, the lovely crepes were garnished and presented on rustic carving boards. Then the mouth watering tasting began! I even had dessert first! Covered and filled with fresh strawberries and delicate warm honey and walnuts, it was one of the most scrumptious delicacies I’ve ever enjoyed! I was reluctant to share even though I had more than I could finish! My parents split a beautiful veggie crepe finished with our first ever taste of chimmichurri sauce. I had an entree of the very freshest spinach, matchstick stoplight peppers, mushrooms, onion and egg with a bit of cheese. Phenomenal!!! Our family member who required allergen caution was so indulged with a gluten-free dairy-free crepe and even a dessert option! One of the happiest moments both for him and for me was seeing his pleasure in enjoying a filling complete meal made to his exact needs and yet delicious! This is so rare as anyone with these allergies can agree! The happiness of all the employees preparing their menu specialties with evident pride was memorable. We can’t wait to go back and try some of the gluten free homemade cookies and other goodies on display. Red Bud even offers plant-based milks for your coffee! The owner took time to visit with us even though it was near closing. We felt so welcome and appreciated as guests in this cafe. The food was well prepared and so good!! There is a reason this restaurant has such high reviews! Definitely visit soon!

OH MY GOODNESS!!! GO TO THIS PLACE IF YOU ENJOY... flavors, textures, quality ingredients and a delectable experience!!! Even of you're Vegan!!! Even if your NOT Vegan!!! Go! Do not pass go. Do not collect 200 dollars!! This family means business when they say come join us for a trip around the world! We were greeted with beautiful and sincere smiles and attentiveness throughout our long visit. Starting with some of the most delicious... glass bottled water I've had in a long time. Delicious water, not kidding. Followed by delicious coffee, hot chocolate, omelet crepes, tai crepes, s'more crepes and a trip around the world's pastry!! Well done 👍 indeed. Then..they made us feel like family by bringing an impromptu wedding cookies dessert with happy 40th anniversary deliciousness written on it. The only thing I have left to day is this family means business when it comes to competing for Daytona Beach customers. I cannot imagine not stopping here every time we have a chance from now on. Did I say it was a great value as well? That's it and your welcome in advance!! In response to your reply I added one more photo for you to look at. I wanted to show you the beautiful ruby ring, apparently 40 is Rub yand my sweety our three hearts. One for each child. I was in shock 😃 He is such a good man and wonderful husband , father and grandfather. I'm one lucky girl that he chose me!

First of all, I have been to a lot of wonderful cafes. But this one is extra special to me. As soon as we entered, we were greeted quickly. I ordered for just a regular coffee & my daughter ordered for a mocha latte. As soon as the mocha latte was brought out, we loved how beautifully it was presented. They did not stop there, the coffee was brought out on a cute wooden serving tray with a cute glass of creamer. I ordered for Drago's Thai Crepe - their Thai crepe, wow!!! It was so delicious!!! Then we ordered for the baklava - it was YUMMMM!! Everything was delicious, well presented and the service was amazing! The atmosphere is wonderful in there. I got to speak to Geo (husband), Gordana, (Geo’s beautiful wife) and Mama Jovana, (Gordana’s amazing momma). They took the time to talk and laugh with us. I felt like I was with family! They make you feel so welcomed, so cared for and like family! When I left, I was in tears because of how touched I was by their amazing and loving hearts! If you’re in the Daytona Beach area, please do not hesitate to visit this wonderful cafe. You will NOT be disappointed!! I enjoyed every second there. And the food is soooo delicious!!! Go there and make sure to meet Mama Jovana! She is the bonus of the cafe!! I LOVED everything about this cafe! #mamajovana

A tiny bit off the busy A1A but the short walk was completely worth it. What a delightful hidden gem! From the moment I stepped into this cozy little Serbian-Australian crepe shop, I felt like I was among family. The owner greeted me with a broad smile and hearty “Dobro jutro, mate!” as if I were a neighbor popping by for a visit. The menu offered a fusion of savory Balkan flavors and sweet Australian breakfast classics, with crepes being the star of the show. I decided on the spinach and cheese burek, with a side of homemade fig balls. When my order arrived, it was presented as artfully as a painting! Every bite was heavenly. The homemade phyllo dough was flaky yet stable. And the friendly owner brought freshly squeezed orange juice to my table while chatting with me like an old friend. I can’t wait to return to this wonderful little family-run restaurant that feels like home! If you’re looking for an authentic local gem with food that warms the soul, this is it! **UPDATE** I went back today after loving it so much yesterday!

Fabulous place for everyone, especially Vegans! I was greeted by Geo who took the time to personally open the menu and show me all of the MANY vegan options! He also kindly fixed the lamp on my table so I had more light to see the wonderful menu. *Geo showed me lots of vegan options and also many possibilities to VEGANIZE the entrees. Julio, the chef, made the most delicious crepe with a vegan batter filled with perfectly sauteed vegetables. Nick, my waiter, suggested to include the vegan beef and also their homemade sauce of fresh parsley, garlic, salt and olive oil which was absolutely delicious! (I had to forgo the bachemel sauce because it was not vegan.) The serving of the crepe was beautifully presented on a long wooden board. It was huge and very impressive. The picture shows just a 3rd of the huge crepe... Gosh folks, with the delicious food , charming decor and friendly staff, this is a restaurant you must try! Make it a regular if you are local! Great experience~ Great food ~ Great people!

This find was a gem! We discovered it on Google and based on reviews, it was clear that we will have splendid experience. Well, guess what? They exceeded our expectations by a mile. Wish we had many restaurants like this where the owners truly care about their business and do it with passion. From the moment we stepped in, everything was wonderful. Geo and his wife go above and beyond to make you feel comfortable and well taken care of. Not only that, they do it genuinely and with ease. The space is warm and inviting, and the atmosphere is great to digest their delicious creations. We ordered avocado toast and Argentinian crepe. Both were mouth watering. You can tell that they put their hearts into everything they do. Yummy! The Red Bud Cafe has beautiful energy and attention to detail is visible everywhere. Can’t wait to be back when we visit next time Daytona Beach. Thank you for your hospitality and care!
