Halelife Bakery - St Petersburg

I went to the DTSP location. A young man waited on me and was very helpful and knowledgeable about the products and how to help me best lol I have so many allergies and it was my first visit! I ended up leaving with 3 different pastries to share with my girlfriend and each one was amazing! She’s not gluten free but lactose free. She was very surprised how good the cookie was! I actually tried the donut first as I hadn’t had one for 10 years! AMAZING! Thank you for allowing me and people like me with crazy allergies to enjoy desserts and treats like everyone else ??

I had high expectations for this place because of the reviews. I have been gluten-free and vegan for quite a while and it’s hard to find a place that has good desserts that are close to the “real thing.” The donuts were not very good at all. The cupcakes were ok. I think the frosting is what made them good. Not sure I’d venture back.

I have literally never had less than an incredible experience here. all the workers are SO sweet and are really helpful in giving great suggestions for sweets. it’s really hard to find good options for allergy-friendly sweets, but they have so many great options and everything tastes delicious. honestly this place has made my day better on multiple occasions. CANT RECOMMEND ENOUGH!!! :

I have no reason to go here except for my own personal tastes. I prefer the consistency of gf baked goods and don’t think the “conventional” way is the only way to bake delicious treats. I do love getting items like this for my family, and if they are good, my family will have no idea it’s anything but normal. Sooo…gingerbread donut and apple crisp donut. Fabulous! Soft, flavorful, satisfying. Husband loved his and had no idea until I told him.The employee here, too, was very engaging and helpful. This location opens a bit later (10 or 11 depending on day), but must cater a bit differently in this location.Would return for sure, and try more. Yum!!

I recently just changed to a gluten-free diet due to a hormonal imbalance! i always love their doughnuts, especially the strawberry cheesecake is..godly! i've also tried their new brunch menu and it's absolutely amazing, my favorite stop before i go into my evening shift in downtown!
