This place is banging. Super cute environment and fantastic food. They clearly mark on their menu the options and that they will take extra precautions on cross contamination if you tell them you have celiac. Absolutely delicious and I'll probably be detouring here often in my way to Jacksonville.

Fantastic experience. This place has a great patio with lots of plants and trees. The coffee drinks we ordered were tremendous (ice latte and the chocolate lavender coffee). They even put on separate gloves and used separate equipment to prepare my meal (i have celiacs)

We enjoyed the patio while having the key lime crepe and the Parisian. Both were excellent. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. Zero reaction. Definitely would return.

The crepes were great! My only complaint is the menu isn’t very toddler friendly. Love the vibe and the indoor/outdoor seating.

The Patio Place is my favorite place to eat safely in Amelia Island. We ate there twice on our weekend trip. They have several different options they can make GF. My favorite was the salmon eggs benedict. All the staff was very knowledgeable and I felt like they genuinely wanted me to have a safe eating experience. We talked to the owner and she showed us a little bit of the kitchen and how they clean surfaces when someone orders GF. Everyone was so nice and accommodating and the food was incredible!! I can’t recommend it enough.

This place was awesome. Food was well prepared and very tasty. Crepes are the real deal and they have a blackberry cider that is on point. Perfect place for a relaxing lunch in a friendly atmosphere. Both fiancé and I are gluten free and had no problem

Absolutely awesome place for Celiacs. My daughters ordered both the Nutty Bananas and the Cinnamon sugar pancakes and they were delish. They can also make savory items GF too. The best meal that we have had in a long time and the ambiance of the restaurant is fantastic. Great for kids as we can eat outside and they can wander around.

A perfect find for those who are challenged with Celiac Disease (or food allergies). Delicious food, terrific menu, amazing Team of professionals… If you need or want a SAFE, nutritious meal don’t pass this area without planning to visit. The entire family enjoyed this meal and sincerely appreciated the attention to detail. We do not live in the area and drove a considerable distance from a resort to enjoy a full meal, and we certainly did.

This restaurant is an absolute find for celiacs and those choosing a gluten-free diet. The buckwheat crepes are absolutely delicious, and the owners and staff are very knowledgeable and go the extra mile to make sure everything is prepared and cooked without cross contamination. Delicious food, fun ambience, great staff – – what else could you ask for? Eat safely and well.

We eat here multiple times every time we visit the Island. Great vibes, service, and food. Just mention celiac and they will do everything needed to prepare a safe meal - even when the restaurant is packed. Haven’t had a meal I didn’t enjoy. The eclair crepe is amazing.

This place is fantastic! If celiac, be sure to specify that, as their procedure for crepes is different if just GF. Also loved the bottomless mimosa bar. Will be back.

Very yummy! They took great care of me when I mentioned I had celiac, saying they'd wipe everything down. My fiancé (non-celiac) loved the dishes. Our favorite was the dessert, honey + cheese with a scoop of ice cream. So delicious. I'd recommend! Also fairly cheap too, for a crepe place.

wonderful food, many gluten-free options, outside patio with live music and fire pit tables, all at reasonable prices. I can't say enough good things. staff is very celiac aware. they have a small kitchen area so cross contamination is possible but just ask and they will take extra care to sanitize the area. buckwheat crepes are very good...even key lime pie.

The Patio Place isn't a restaurant, but a gift for yourself, and all who enter. The entire front of the building opens up to let in beauty of the outdoors and an overall feeling of peace. When we happened to visit while in the area, our server, Julie, treated us as honored guests, and the owner, Amy, took a moment from her busy efforts in making the outdoor patio even more inviting to thank us for coming. The gluten-free buckwheat crepes were amazing, and endless in variety. We had the egg, ham and avocado with their homemade sweet tomato paste, and the pumpkin crepe with sugared pumpkin seed topping. We savored every bite and might have licked the plates clean, given the chance. Our server even called the chef at home to inquire about whether the ingredients in his pumpkin filling was safe for our Celiac family member. They offer local artists a venue to perform their music live on the weekends, and even have puppy treats for your canine friend. We drive from Jacksonville just to visit. You can stop looking, because this is your new favorite place.

Brand new creperie in Fernandina Beach. Made the way authentic crepes are made in France, with Buckwheat flour, naturally GF. Owner is very knowledgeable as she has a gluten sensitivity. Food menu is still expanding. Also has GF beers and cider, large selection. If u have Celiac's or gluten sensitivity this is a must visit. We will definitely be back.
