HaleLife Bakery, Tampa FL

I came here because of the rave reviews but as a vegan baker I was disappointed. Upon entry, there was a horrible odor. I’m assuming a pipe must’ve burst but the entire place smelled like sewage. I ignored that since the place was clean and I assumed it was out of their control. I order five different items. I took a few bites of my cupcake and it was flavorless but super sweet and dry. I have a sensitive stomach so about 15 mins later I was cramping up from the amount of sugar. When I got home I tried the doughnut, same issue but it tasted like a biscuit to me. I ended up throwing my box on the garbage. Maybe these items have to be fresh to enjoy it’s true essence.

First time venturing to Halelife Bakery. Tried the Lava Brownie. The person who helped me was very friendly. Definitely recommend giving this place a try.

We got a half-dozen assorted treats box and an Oreo doughnut to munch on. While it was so great to have a lot of options, everything was very dense, so it was almost as if the quantity was bigger than what we wanted, and therefore the price was more than we would have liked.

Amazing customer service! So friendly and welcoming and explained all the options so well. As someone with celiac, dairy, and nut allergy, this is a dream come true bakery!

Amazing food. As someone who has a ton of common allergies, this bakery was amazing and the cinnamon toast donut tasted amazing!

Beautiful shop, tastefully decorated, and a delicious selection of snacks, sweets, and breads.

Wish there was o e over in Brandon/Riverview area, but thankfully, this is close enough to the crosstown.

Ultra friendly staff and everything you see, whether food items or decoration looks appealing.

Sparkling clean, too!

Just baked the frozen baguette to have with dinner, looks amazing, and if it tastes half as good as the goodies themselves, it will definitely be more than worth the drive from Riverview!

Great selection and everything tastes great. Jared is a really cool guy, and he's very helpful in his recommendations! All the employees are super nice at every location. I also really like their seasonal flavors. I plan on ordering a custom cake for my birthday because why not

Very nice people. Very fresh high quality products. I got a birthday cupcake which was suppose to be funfetti but they let me pick my own (chocolate ganache) it was great.

Stopped by to see what they had, yes a bit pricy, but really good. Great for a treat. Eating better isnt cheap and these were delicious. The guy working was really nice and super helpful, wish i remembered his name.

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!

At HaleLife Bakery I had a moist and delicious gluten free ganache cupcake. Server wasn't particularly friendly.

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!

My husband and I are both vegans and are are very impressed with this 100% vegan/allergy friendly bakery. They have a variety of breads, cupcakes, cookies, dounts, and made to order hot food. We loved everything we had there so far. It has a clean and welcoming interior. Staff are very helpful and will answer any questions you have. Their prices are a bit higher than at a standard bakery but thats because the ingrediants cost more and are of very high quality. I'm eating some hot oven baked bread right now dipped in olive oil, nutritional yeast, rosemary, thyme, and a pinch of sea salt. Yum!

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.

Okay i know that our fellow vegans have a hard time finding something to eat. However stop looking this place has the best treats that you can find that don’t taste bad. Everything tried was so good if your in the area stop by. Oh one more thing the host you helps you is the nicest person’s ever she is so full of welcome energy she needs a raise HaleLife I did get her name but she was so knowledgeable and helpful. Fantastic customer service.

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

Love love loved this place. The treats tasted amazing and the woman who assisted us was absolutely humble, especially for working alone. You need to give her a raise fellow northern here!
