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!
