Nice little vegan/GF/allergen friendly bakery/bistro

This place was great, thought they have a more limited menu than what google may show. Baked items are cakes, cupcakes, Donuts, cookies, pie. There is a nice breakfast, quick bites, and pizza menu. They also have some take away bakes like smaller pizzas. Basic and BBQ Chick'n Bac'n pizzas were both great (they are 10" and basically personal sized). We got some sweet treats to go, and I'm looking forward to the oatmeal cream pies. The pretzel bites were underwhelming.

Pros: Pizzas, Sweets

Very Tasty Brownie

I purchased a frosted brownie and brookie. The frosted brownie was delicious, moist and rich. At $6 the price is on par with many bakeries these days and it was a fancy decorated one at that. It was not very sweet as indicated in other reviews, I do have a sweet tooth and it was satisfying and the sweetness was muted in my opinion. I think it's worth a try. Will be back to try some of their other products including donuts.

Pros: Richness and taste of the brownie.

Way too sugary!

I like that there’s a gluten free and vegan option but honestly I’d rather just make something at my house. Everything is way too expensive and sugary and I always feel sick afterwards

Not worth it

Stopped in while in St Pete. Picked up a 6 pack of unbaked, non-iced cinnamon rolls from the freezer $29.99!!! Tried a lemon blueberry donut which didn’t taste like it had lemon or blueberries in it, just sugar.

Thank you for your message. All of our products are also gluten-free which dramatically increases the cost of our ingredients. A standard 25lb bag of flour is roughly $13, our flour is $68. Also, the 6 pack of cinnamon rolls referenced are take and bake. There is a pack of icing in the middle to apply after they are baked. Our blueberry lemon donut is topped with a homemade blueberry compote made from fresh blueberries and the streusel is infused with real lemons. I'm sorry you were disappointed and wish you the best in finding a bakery that suites your preferences and needs

Not worth it!

We drove out of our way to this place, only to find a yuppy vibe ,chair seat where proportionate individual only half of my bottom fits on. High priced items. We where extremely surprised the drink menu mostly alcoholic. A small can of soda (6oz)
6.- a can🧐 I must state that I am way past college age so this just isn’t my thing.

Thank you for your message. We have worked hard to create a warm welcoming environment that reflects a living room vibe. Most of our customers have diagnosed food restrictions and we work hard to create an atmosphere that is warm and inviting. We are confused about the comment regarding the seating we have available - there are couches, stools, banquettes, booths, benches and chairs. We carefully selected seating that accommodates anyone's age, size or if there is a disability. Our drink menu is pretty extensive offering juices, water, coffee, sparkling water/seltzers, natural energy drinks, mushroom/cbd/thc drinks. The 6oz can of soda that you are referencing to is a Cann Sparkling Water infused with real fruit juices and has 4mg of THC and 2mg of CBD. The price we have for this drink is less than the suggested retail price. We do offer beer/wine/cider that is gluten-free and vegan but that is not the main focus of our menu.

So good!

I struggle to find both vegan and gluten-free baked goods, but this place was so good! I had the oatmeal cream pie and it was incredible! My brother (who is very anti-vegan/gf) loved his Cookies and Cream cupcake and was suprised how good it tasted. I also got the Oreo Cheesecake donut and the Brookie which I’m excited to try later.

UPDATE: all the baked goods turned out to be delicious!! I stopped in the St. Petersburg location as well and picked up a Smores cupcake. (P.S. You can get one free baked good with no prior purchase necessary by signing up for their mailing list!!!!)

Gluten free goods

The baked goods I tried were pretty good for being gluten free, and the customized Batman cake was delicious! The design was well-done for such a small cake. I’m definitely a fan of the cake.

Great treats!

Amazing assortment of cupcakes/donuts. A little pricey but great quality and it’s nice to have an option to purchase some treats on special occasions/birthdays. We have ordered online and picked up several times! My parents ordered me a graduation cake which was amazing!

Pros: Great variety , Vegan

Decadent donuts and women-owned!

They offer a wide variety of vegan treats with colorful and unique donut flavors, including Girl Scout cookie versions! The samoa donut was delicious, with chocolate, coconut and caramel. Plus, they're completely gluten-free and women-owned!

Expensive and Poor Service

We stopped to get some donuts. When we walked in the staff acknowledged us, but was not friendly. When we inquired about the options as it was our first time visiting, we received a dry and non descript response.

The donuts were very small and $3 each.

This is a great place if you need allergy friendly vegan food and live a priveleged enough life to be able to afford their sweets.

Pros: Vegan and Gluten Free

Terrible Customer Service

We were so excited to visit this place and were thinking about ordering a cake for our upcoming wedding. Although the cupcakes were wonderful, the customer service was not. Jamie made us feel unwelcome, like we were bothering her. She didn’t greet us with any sort of enthusiasm or offer any information. She never smiled, and she wasn’t even polite. She seemed annoyed when we were asking questions about sizes and flavors. My fiancé and I left feeling really bad about the whole experience. We purchased cupcakes to try, however, and they were excellent. As vegans we were so grateful to have found a bakery such as HaleLife, but I’d rather bake myself then be subjected to this type of rudeness. I wouldn’t mind paying their prices if I felt like they actually cared about their customers and gaining business. We were so disappointed.

Adorable and delicious

Tried about 5 of the donuts there and they were so good! Only complaint is that they frost and decorate the donuts right behind the counter after you order and it’s a huge mess. Would look a lot better if they did that in the back.

Pros: cute, great taste

Cons: messy behind counter
