Top 31 Gluten-Free Vegetarian Havens to Explore in Tampa

Juliet Near

As someone highly allergic to dairy it was exciting to hear that this vegan gluten free bakery opened in the area. Unfortunately it was a bit of a let down. For bakery items my family got cupcakes and donuts. The cupcakes were decent, not dense like a usual gluten free cupcake but there was no flavor to the cake. The vanilla one just tasted plain. The strawberry cheesecake donut had a great icing to it but the donut itself was dense and not like a donut at all. The frozen Katz donuts from the grocery store are better. Each pastry was $6 which seems overpriced for a barely mediocre dessert and they are not huge either. We took home the blueberry waffles($12 for a whole waffle which was cut up into 1/4 sections) , they are ok. The flavor tasted like a normal blueberry waffle and the texture was ok. Very average waffle. The mac and cheese ($16 for 2 servings) I got was very off putting. The cheese flavor was good, comparable to follow your heart brand but the noodles were awful, I made sure not to overheat it but somehow they came out very chewy. I want to give this place another go but am hesitant to due to the price point and a poor first impression.

Excellent & safe food! Lots of options including vegan/vegetarian

Second time ordering delivery from this place and I couldn't be more unenthusiastic. Prices without tax, tip or delivery fees: 10 inch gluten-free pizza = $20; They added wrong toppings and the gouda, bacon and pesto aioli were overpowered by the house sauce. Very ketchupy. Garlic tastes out of a can. 10 wings = $16.50; Speaking of things in containers, the blue cheese I was charged extra for (No, they don't give blue cheese or ranch with the wings for free) tastes about as good as the Hidden Valley bottle it came out of. Would have left this place a 3 out of 5, but you can't have the word "Gourmet" in your name and have ingredients this average/bad. It's like saying you're a French winery and all your wine is from boxes sold at Costco.

Had a post Tampa Theater Star Wars pizza and their gluten free crust option were out of this world!! The best part about the experience was our server Emily! From the moment we walked in, she immediately greeted us with the biggest smile, told us to sit anywhere and she took such great care of us throughout the entire afternoon! We need more servers like her in downtown Tampa! Way to GO, Emily!! Keep up that high vibe and making everyone feel welcome! Give that young woman a raise!!

I don’t get to make it to this type of town very often but when I do, I make it a point to stop by and get their gluten-free chicken tenders and french fries. For somebody who eats gluten-free it’s the little things in life that really make a huge difference in your day.

This place is an unbelievable combination of scene, food, and vibe. Excellent DJ on Tuesday. I’m not sure what they could do to improve, but I really liked it. Get the Trees appetizer, top notch gluten free broccoli and cauliflower. Very handicap friendly and accommodating patrons. Overall a really nice place! I wrote this review even before our table was finished eating and I regret nothing

Swanky vibe with many, many options that can be made gluten free. However, the drinks are overpriced and do not taste great, and the food does not offer value for money. Like everything, it's highly overpriced. Service was great, however.

I had not heard of nor tried Bolay Kitchen before this event, so this was my first time here. I live in Pinellas so it was a little bit of drive to get to them but I can honestly say the drive was worth it! I came in during what I would have assumed to be dinner rush time but aside from myself there was only 1 other customer in the restaurant which struck me as odd. I was indecisive as to what to actually order for my first time here but after talking to one of the staff members, I decided to go with his recommendation & ordered the the steak street salad bowl, & I am so glad I did! The steak was cooked perfectly, the chimichurri tomatoes were amazing, & the creamy garlic & herb dressing brought the whole bowl together! I got a chocolate chip cookie which was still soft & sweet, so I knew it was just made today. I also got the berry patch tea to go with it, the tea was nice & refreshing, I got a refill of the tea but switched it up & got the mandarin cardamon tea. That tea was a bit more robust but still delicious & satisfying. The restaurant layout & atmosphere is really nice, I liked learning they are gluten free. I honestly don't know why there weren't more people here, but I will definitely be making the trek back over here again soon!

The great menu here that offers and highlights each vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-friendly options is great. I loved the tomaro soup and sweet potato chips. The back ground music is very loud both inside at accessible tables and out door accessible tables. Indoors they also offer a full bar with high top car seats and 2 TVs. Accessible entry and exit with several single and double doors, which made finding the his read a bit of a challenge. Outside accessible men and women restrooms with accessible sink, grab bars, and more than 5ftx 5 ft space Free van accessible grave parking for Midtown venues

Make sure you triple check with the manager and make sure their fryer isn’t down…half the waiters know a lot about allergies and the other half are oblivious. I ate there twice with no issues and knowledgeable waiters, but the last time I was there, the waiter didn’t know about the fryers and I got glutened.

Gillian Cline

I’ve ordered from here countless times, their food is consistently so good. Many gluten free and allergy friendly options. Today is the only time that my order has ever been incorrect, and the manager went above and beyond to make sure i got the right order. Amazing service and amazing food!!

Megan Vaca

So good, great gluten free options and no seed oils?!?! I’ll be stopping here every time I’m in the area. The buffalo broccoli is FIRE!

Allison Smith

Isabella’s the best!!!! This place is so yummy and 100% gluten free :)

We had a team holiday luncheon and it was excellent. Everyone enjoyed the entrees, especially the salmon and scallops. The appetizer flatbreads and meatballs were good starters. They had an excellent gluten free menu. We had a lovely table in the middle of the restaurant but it was quite noisy due to busyness of the restaurant and we had difficulty hearing each other.

I have been ordering pizza here since I moved to westchase because they have gluten and dairy free items, which is great for me since I am intolerant to both. However, I unfortunately have many qualms with this place. For starters, I always order the exact same pizza. Every single time. So much so, that they know me and my partner by name. Despite this fact, they cannot seem to ever remember that I order basil on my pizza, something you have to pay EXTRA for. So not only am I almost always missing an ingredient, I am not getting my money's worth. Additionally, do not ever try and order their gluten free brownies, no matter if they are available for purchase through their website or not, because you will not receive any. They dont seem to ever make or have them for some reason and i have no idea why they keep it on the menu. I would also complain about their menu pricing (for example, at blaze pizza you can order as many additional ingredients as you want free of charge, here you have to pay an extra fee for every single additional ingredient which is ridiculous in my opinion). For the most part the pizza tastes great, but due to these reasons, if there were any other pizza place nearby that offered dairy and gluten free options, I would never return to tampa pizza company. Sadly, it is literally my only option for when i want pizza.

Great food, beautiful atmosphere, and solid gluten-free options! I’m celiac and eat gluten-free, and I had the entrée salad with shrimp, it was delicious and I didn’t get sick. I was hoping it would come with ham as well (like the side salad appetizer the rest of the family ate), so next time I’ll ask for both shrimp and ham on the entrée salad. The architecture and ambiance are beautiful, and we really enjoyed the two pitchers of sangria — definitely a 10/10! The only downside was the service staff was very kind and friendly and did they best they could. Our group of 8 felt a bit forgotten, and after waiting to order dessert and water refill, we paid and left after about two hours. Overall, it was a great experience. I’d definitely recommend going with a smaller group (maybe 3–6 people) for a smoother visit.

I’ve been coming to this place for a few years now and every time the food is amazing! I have a gluten allergy and have never had a problem here. The pizza is sooo good. I typically get the jalepeno popper pizza and last time I added sausage crumbles. Delish!!! The cookies are so good. I love their side salad with the vegan ranch. The owners, Keith and Jill, always have a welcoming smile on their face! I always am happy when I’m on this side of town because I know I’m stopping in!

Bamboozle in Channelside is an absolute gem for anyone craving vibrant Vietnamese and Asian fusion cuisine! As someone who’s gluten-free and dairy-free, I was so thrilled to find so many delicious options. They’re known for their rice rolls, and they did not disappoint! The crispy duck, grilled chicken, and the traditional fresh rolls were bursting with flavor. The entree, the sesame glass noodles with sesame pork were the perfect way to complement the flavors and add an extra kick to my meal. The Ube Basque Cheesecake was a first for me, and it did not disappoint—it was rich and indulgent, the perfect sweet ending to a fantastic meal. Portions are generous, and everything is beautifully presented. Bamboozle stands out for its incredible dishes and laid-back atmosphere. If you’re near Channelside, don’t miss this hidden treasure!

This place has amazing food! But beyond that, it has THE BEST gluten free pizza I have ever eaten! I have celiacs and honestly believed they gave me the wrong pizza the first time I had it but they didn’t. It’s just that good! My husband, who is not gluten free, happily eats this pizza and agrees it doesn’t taste gluten free. It is genuily wonderful pizza. In fact, everything we have eaten here has been phenomenal. The service is always exellent, especially from our favorite bartender, Leslie! She has wonderful recommendations and makes a fantastic Italian 75! This is our favorite neighborhood spot. You won’t regret visiting this place!

100% gluten free and vegan

Simon McCarthy

First class service and quality food! We ate at 2 Blaze locations during our vacation in Florida and both were exceptional. My wife has a gluten allergy and the dedication and care (and the fact that they made a decent GF pizza) was great

Emilia Elrey

My husband and I stopped into Ulele last week after a celebration of life ceremony in Tampa. We heard great things about this place, and it did not disappoint. Our server Dan, was AWESOME! He was really warm and accommodating. I recently developed Celiac disease, so I have to be very careful with what I eat. Dan went through the menu and explained everything in detail. Our entrees were outstanding. My husband and I both work for Disney, so we know hospitality, and we recognize great service. Dan went above and beyond. We'll be back soon, and we'll be sure to recommend Ulele to all our friends and co-workers back in Orlando!

Tom Giar

First timers and I would come back for another breakfast entre. The I choose was tasty, and I need to be careful of what I choose. Gluten free. Anyway, the food is very good and prices are as well.

Scott Distasio

We love the food here. We also love the atmosphere. I have to eat gluten free and the owners are great about making sure my food is gluten free.

Maribeth Moore

Good food and excellent options. Things are well marked for those with gluten free needs

Sweet Soul was definitely sweet to the soul. It was a great visit with great service. It's part of the locally owned Ciccio Restaurant Group, and kind of follows the same type of bowl concept as the other restaurants. The twist is that it's basically plant based and dairy free. They also have lots of gluten free options. I was seriously blown away by the taste of the PB and GF dark chocolate chip cookies. They were fresh, soft, and oh so chocolaty. I didn't miss the dairy one bit. Anyway, I was set on having a swirl of 2 soft serve flavors. I just wasn't sure if they could swirl the Yelp's 5-Star strawberry with matcha. I'd only seen pictures of it with the chocolate. Well, I was so happy to hear that they could do that with 2 of my favorite flavors. It was a good match. The blueberries, strawberries, and coconut flakes went perfectly with it. I only wish I had chosen the Nutella drizzle instead of the honey. The Nutella apparently hardens up on the soft serve and kind of keeps it all together. They did recommend it, but I was kind of going for a healthier option. The honey was good but maybe too heavy for it. I'll know for next time. Yes, there will be many next times. I totally want to go back and try the Italian Stallion and the acai bowls. I definitely need to get more of those cookies as well. It was the perfect morning full of enjoyable weather and wholesome treats.

Gluten and dairy free options! The chicken wings and Brocollini is amazing!

Amanda was the best and she gave us the best recommendation. She helped me with my gluten intolerance.

Melissa Hernandez

Staff was accommodating with gluten free options! Had a rice bowl they had gluten free soy sauce in the back. Will def come back! Great place and hidden gem!!

Rick Toth

I cannot say enough good things about Black Radish, Tampa is so fortunate to have this gem! Amazing vegan offerings, including many gluten free options! The deli serves up some delicious food. And the staff is always really friendly. It’s obvious the owner cares about quality food, the community and the planet! I’m a customer for life!

Loren Frissell

They now have gluten free bread! Great quick place to have lunch.

I come regularly as I enjoy acai bowls very much and its a clean eat. The one star is because many times (over 5 counting today) I have come in and had the same experience. I order the food & pick it up no later then 10 minutes after. Although my bowl is taken out of the fridge its melted completely. I also PAY EXTRA FOR GLUTEN FREE I have an allergy & they don't even notify me I paid extra for something I am not getting instead they sneak regular granola in the bag. They never reimburse me for their lack of supply either. When I called in to notify as usual they do not pick up.

I liked Thali and Chaat. Most of the items are delicious. I prefer rotla over naan because they make fresh rotla and it is good gluten free.

Sydney O'Hare

we went here because they advertised gluten free sandwiches and my friend has a very serve gluten allergy. When we went to order we asked if the toaster could be wiped down before her sandwich went in and we were told that they couldn’t do that because they were “too busy” and that they couldn’t log in to the computer system to check if another item as gluten free because she was “running around”. It’s embarrassing to have someone care so little about someone’s gluten allergy. They also weren’t busy. Kindness goes a long ways and we weren’t shown that.

Maddie Bright

This place is so great! Wish we lived closer, we’d go all the time. The gentleman making our bowls was so so nice. We had gluten free restrictions and he was very knowledgeable of the options. The restaurant was extremely clean and overall super great. He even gave us dole whip samples!! 100/10

Matthew Cooke

had the autumn harvest bowl, served by my adorable tattooed celiac pal and an unsweetened fruit pop in a can. Delicious. It was not quite enough for my second and final meal with walk to and from. Bought a share size peanut butter snickers on the walk home. Unrelated: Tampa doesn’t really do sidewalks.

First time. Food was excellent and service quick. Gluten free option limited but the gyro bowl with chicken was very good. Husband had impossible burger and fries and liked his also. I always try to visit vegan places, glad we stopped in.
