Vegan St. Pete: Gateway

The far north end of the city, out by the Gandy Bridge and the office parks. The draw is the water: a tiki bar you can reach by boat and a no-frills crab house on the shoreline.

HaleLife Bakery & Bistro

Gateway ยท bakery, american, vegan bakery, gluten free bakery

HaleLife opened in 2017 as a dedicated kitchen that bakes without the top eight allergens: no gluten, dairy, eggs, soy, peanuts, tree nuts other than coconut, or shellfish, checked 'down to the manufacturer'. Everything is vegan and gluten free. The bakery says it has had no reported reactions since opening and that USA Today named it a top gluten free bakery in 2023, 2024 and 2025. It also has rooms in Tampa and Dunedin, and I Love the Burg reported a HaleLife Bistro at 2450 5th Ave S in the Warehouse Arts District.
