Looking for the best vegan restaurant and bar in Tampa Bay Good Intentions in St. Pete is 100% vegan! We love how their menu changes seasonally and that they work with local breweries, bakeries, and more!

Locals love this LGBTQ+-owned business and vegans praise it! Love Food Central serves health-minded, vegan, and gluten-free options. Their menu items are bursting with so many flavors!

House of Vegano
House of Vegano is one of the best vegan restaurants in St. Pete! The Japanese-inspired cuisine is some of the best in the area. Their menu is easy to read with what’s either vegan or vegetarian.
Pro tip: We recommend the King Krab Roll, which is also gluten-free, which is spicy with avocado, cucumber, and marinated carrots, and topped with spicy krab (imitation!) dynamite.

The newest vegan spot in Tampa Bay and easily one of the most unique concepts we’ve seen – it’s a vegan cinnamon roll shop where you get to customize your perfect cinnamon roll! Rest assured this bakery is 100% vegan, dairy & lactose-free, egg-free, and fresh-baked.

HaleLife Bakery is one of the best dessert spots in Tampa Bay, serving mouth-watering vegan bites! It has much to offer those who have food restrictions due to allergies, tolerance issues, autoimmune disease, life-threatening illness, or if you just want to eliminate certain foods from your diet.
Pro tip: If you’re a donut lover, grab the strawberry cheesecake, the Oreo cheesecake, or the brownie fudge donut! Looking for something savory Try the focaccia bread.
Plant Love Ice Cream
With Florida’s hot temperatures, ice cream is always a good idea. Plant Love Ice Cream – located in Gulfport – handcrafts their vegan ice cream in-house with quality ingredients. They offer a variety of unique flavors. You’ll be surprised at the creamy texture for it being made without dairy!
Pro tip: We recommend getting their ice cream flight, allowing you to try five different flavors. Our personal favorite is their cookies ‘n cream. They also have a CBD flavor if you’re into that zen life!
