Halelife Bakery - Tampa

I think I should state, their products are good. Expensive, but good. No real issues with the pricing, I know what to expect. What does bother me, and just not here is the ridiculous tipping policy. Why would I tip 20% for a guy who packs my $100 worth of donuts. What did he do, turnaround and box up something. I wish these places would either get rid of the tipping, make it reasonable, $1, $2, $5, etc. Pay them more money, whatever. Maybe I am just old, but it's going to hurt these types of places long term and make employees feel they earn 20% for literally doing their job.

I honestly don’t know how to put into words how amazing HaleLife Bakery is. As someone with severe food allergies, it’s hard to find dining locations with stellar food options. But HaleLife somehow sprinkles pixie dust on every baked good they create, because it tastes absolutely incredible. Easily the best bakery I’ve ever been to! Their cookies, especially the apple pie one, are out of this world!! And to top it all off, they somehow make the absolute best focaccia bread! (And that’s saying something; my girlfriend is Italian! Haha) I can’t wait to continue discovering new vegan goodies at this spectacular bakery!

In HEAVEN.Been wanting to come here since I moved to Florida a year and a half ago. My son finally had a tournament in Tampa and I got my opportunity. I’ve been celiac and lactose intolerant for the last twelve years and it incredible finding somewhere you can safely indulge in FRESH BAKED treats you haven’t had in years. I’m not a big sweets person but the cupcakes were perfect. Light, fluffy, not too sweet. Loaded up on treats for the team and frozen baking to take home. Had some focaccia bread when I got home and it is a must. Can’t wait to bake the cinnamon rolls. Not only are the treats Devine, the staff are incredibly knowledgeable and kind. We will definitely be back !!!

I love that this is a vegan and gluten free bakery, but it’s very pricey for the mediocre products. Maybe that’s because of the area that it is in, but we got a half dozen of donuts, two breakfast sandwiches and a couple of frozen cheesy bread roll packages (which had very little cheese and hardly any flavor), and that cost a little over $80. The donuts were pretty good, more like a cake though.

Delicious flavor! Amazing staff! We highly recommend this bakery for vegans and non vegans. You will not be disappointed.
