One of Best Restaurants in Tampa - Edit
I discovered this establishment just driving around one day. I was welcomed like family. I am now good friends with the owner and her husband. The food has always been superb in my opinion, I have never had something there that I didn't like. Pat, the owner is very good at making sure that her customers are satisfied with their food. She has no problem making something new if you are unsatisfied with your meal. The water alkalizer that she owns is state of the art, I have never seen one as advanced as hers. Pat has quite the selection of beverages, chips, and various vegan grocery items as well. I will forever be a regular to her restaurant, I always enjoy my time there. My mother and close friends are also big fans of Vegan Take Out.

Back and better than ever - Edit
I love this place. I have been here a few times. The smoothies are yummy and the food is tasty and made just how you like it. This is where you come when you need a little break and some home cooking. The menu is all vegan and she has fantastic deals on a small assortment of vegan groceries. It's not especially quick because she likes to make stuff fresh and customized. If you're in a hurry, call ahead. Also, while there is a standing menu now, there are usually a couple items not available or not readily prepared. Don't let that stop you, she won't let you get away hungry. I would also say it's more healthy for the soul and spirit than conventionally healthy for the body. It's not all raw and whole foods but you can find those things on the menu also. A lot of stuff is organic too. you can also get Gardein and once they have fryers back up some fried stuff too. I can't wait. :)
Read morePros: loving & friendly atmosphere , prices, yummy food
Cons: sometimes out of stuff, not always consistent (who cares), not super quick

Great Find!! - Edit
I was visiting Tampa from Orlando and in search for a new vegan places to eat. I found the Vegan Detox & Nutrition shop so I decided to stop in for a quick lunch.
Read moreI had a great chat with the owner Pat. She's super sweet, friendly and genuine. Customer service at its finest. The shop is cute and has everything you need. Her homemade Mac n cheese is to die for. She even heated my food up in the oven when I mentioned my hotel didn't have a microwave. How nice was that!!!
I'll definitely be back.
Pros: Awesome customer service, Great prices, convenient location

Vegan Take Out - Tampa - Edit
After placing a quick call to verify hours, we visited and we are happy that we did. Pat and her husband Tom are friendly and welcoming. The shoppe is small with a couple of tables and chairs. The deals on groceries were good, i.e., a 5 pound bag of Daiya cheese only $10.00 or a gallon of Vegenaise for $25.00. There are seasonings and spices, Gardein, Beyond Meat, mock tuna and mock salmon all priced at or below competitor prices. Pat is willing to order items for you not on hand. The food in the cafe is really yummy - vegan comfort food. Pat offered us many samplings and was happy to make us something not on menu for the day. The atmosphere is laid back - other patrons coming in and being introduced to us which was nice. The owners are fine tuning their hours and days of operation, so be sure to give them a call before you go.

Unhappy - Edit
I read all the great reviews for this place and decided to try it. My husband and I stopped in... and no one was in sight. The door dinged when we came in, so I assumed that someone in the back would come out in a minute or two after they finished whatever they were doing. So we walked around for several minutes talking and trying to find a menu.
Read moreThere was no menu to be found, and the store was so cluttered and poorly organized that I wasn't sure what, if anything was for sale. There was furniture in strange places and racks with nothing on them. Nothing seemed to be labeled with a price either.
After about 10 minutes of hanging around no one ever came out of the back, so we left.
Re-reading the reviews it seems like the place rarely has a menu, which is not appealing to me at all. We will not be back.

Dear LorinWinter:
Read moreI am so sorry about your recent visit to my store. I would like to know what date and time you arrived. No one is ever in my store for 10 minutes without me knowing about it.
As far as a menu goes, it is posted on the white board you must have missed when you walked in the door. It is in plain sight for all to see and has been there for sometime. Another white board displays the smoothie menu.
Everything is priced in the store that is for sale such as retail food and drinks. New stock was being put out if your visit was in the past few days.
We have been rearranging lately in an attempt to make the place more appealing.
We always have a menu for those unable to create their own dishes. Most of my guests like to be in control of their food choices and have been enjoying the freedom for 3 years.
Please feel free to contact the store for a complimentary meal on us as a way to apologize for your inconvenience.
I really want to know when you were in the store without us knowing it. We will go through our disk again when we know the date and time of your visit.
Again, thanks for bringing your comments to our attention.

Hi Pat,
Read moreI appreciate your response. My husband and I came by last Saturday around 11:30 or so. I guess we missed the white board, I just asked my husband he didn't see a white board with a menu either. We only remember seeing a white board on the floor next to the counter for smoothies. (Which I have to admit seemed an odd place to put it.) Nothing for actual food though.
Good luck with your rearranging, and I am glad you have a customer base who enjoys being able to create their own options.

Suprisingly good! - Edit
I wish I'd know about this place sooner. They serve some great vegan food. I was thrilled with their savory pumpkin soup and a beautiful salad with arugala, tomatoes, olives, starfruit and more! It was all very fresh. Others tried their various types of stirfry over coconut rice and remarked that they enjoyed it very much and especially liked that the coconut flavor really came through. I was too full for dessert but took some home and was glad I did! The brownie in chocolate sauce was a chocolate lover's delight! The blueberry-banana cobbler and peach cobbler were also quite tasty. It's a quaint little place but perfect for grabbing a quick tasty meal. They also have some very limitd organic produce available for purchase at extremely reasonable prices. Check it out!

The. Best. Ever. - Edit
Pat is a one woman show and a magical chef. She has a rotating menu of daily specials.
Read moreWe had a "chikin" stirfry with broccoli, sugar snaps and freshly roasted cashews. This was all served hot over coconut basmati rice The whole thing was peppered with mustard seeds and full of AMAZING flavor.
We also had a pumpkin soup which was literally the best soup I've ever had. Warm, savory, pumpkiny. YUM.
GO THERE.
Pros: delicious, friendly, local
Cons: zip, zero, zilch
