Amazing Flavors - Edit
We tried Love Food Central for the first time this morning and it was a hit. We started with the Broccoli Cheezy Soup and it was so good! My husband said it reminded him of the broccoli cheese soup I used to make before I chose to be vegan. We then shared 2 sandwiches: The Reuben and the Love Burger. Both were so good! Although it was not served on rye bread (which is traditionally how a Reuben is served), it was still a very delicious tempeh sandwich and I would highly recommend it. The Love Burger was also delicious and full of flavor. We are so happy we chose this place for lunch. Staff was very friendly. We drove up from Sarasota and we will be back next time we are in town.

Must stop - Edit
Absolutely must make time to stop here if you are nearby. My dad has a place in Tampa and everytime we visit we make sure to stop at least twice. We order way to much every single time. It’s so hard to decide. They also have tons of desserts, bake goods, cashew custard. I love 5lbs heavier and it’s so worth it.

Delicious, clean, local ingredients - Edit
The food is clean, local, and combinations taste great! My 1 complaint is the portions are so small for the price. I expect it to be priced higher, given the amazing quality, but I would expect more substance. However, I still do love coming here! The people are amazing and the food tastes great.

Solid vegan and gluten free options - Edit
I had the Ruben tempeh and potato salad. It was a nice place, helpful staff, and decent food. The sandwich was more of a passing nod at a Ruben than a knock your socks off Ruben but it was good.

A Tried and True Gem of a Place - Edit
We are never disappointed when we eat at LFC! Everything is super tasty and they offer a nice selection to-lease each palate! There is also an off-menu item offered to mix things up a bit! The dessert selection offers the best finisher to your meal! We usually bike over and site at one of the shady tables outside.

Not overly impressed - Edit
The “blue cheese” wedge salad was the highlight. Both my husband and I loved it! Mac & cheese was a let down for both of us. He didn’t care for the awesome burger. Mint chocolate soft serve in my opinion had a very strange rye bread like aftertaste. He didn’t pick up on that and thought it was alright. Key lime pie was like biting into a block of coconut cream. I always make an effort to support all vegan places as opposed to just ones with vegan options. I feel there is a lot of opportunity for improvement in the flavors of their offerings.

Don’t think twice- go here! - Edit
This is my go-to spot in St Pete. The fact it’s all vegan & gluten free while tasting AMAZING makes it a winner. The menu is diverse so you have all different types of sandwiches, salads, and desserts to choose from. Also, you truly feel good eating the food here because it’s all homemade and super fresh. Even the mimosa I got (mind you, only $5) was made with fresh squeezed OJ. Prices are really reasonable, too. You must try!!

Great sandwiches! - Edit
My friend and I got some sandwiches and they were delicious. You could not tell the bread was gluten free and the tempeh was bomb. I did not care for their desserts but would definitely get a meal again.
