    I am not vegan but the food here is absolutely delicious! This is not an ordinary restaurant, Pure Kitchen has grab & go, open kitchen cooking classes, and catering. I think Tampa needs more places like this. I visited last week and got the cold pad Thai and pesto pasta. It's fresh and very home-style cooking. Chef Kyoto and other staff were super friendly and welcoming. They served me food sampler and poured me some champagne. The only complaints are 1) It's hard to find parking when it's busy. 2) I wish there's more ingredients than just 3 pieces of broccoli in pesto pasta. 3) A bit on the higher price range for the quantity you get.

    Vegan food heaven! They have so many varieties of grab and go meals. I’m a big fan of their soups and noodles. The vegan Benedict is also an experience I enjoyed. Keep on eye on their IG page for daily updated to menu

    Just one of the best options in the bay for vegan food! They have everything! It’s all very delicious food. I love that the food is already ready to go, you just choose from the conveniently labeled fridge for what you want, pay and go. They will even warm up the food for you upon request. The rigatoni dish was just insanely creamy and flavorful!! & These kale chips were literally perfect! Everything they have is posted daily on their social media page.

    Super easy and friendly experience. Staff was very useful with suggestions and explanations. Food is all ready for takeaway. Tons of varieties of soups, salads, and entrees. Even being vegan, the Mac N Cheese tastes amazing. A bunch of treats and desserts are available. Everything we tried was recommendable. Definitely going to head back again.

    This has been one of my favorite places in Tampa Bay area for vegan food. The dishes are very well prepared and so flavorful. I have tried 7-8 dishes from them and have loved almost all of them. Jerk fried rice and Curry mei fun are on the top for me. They are very thoughtful about their cooking and cleaning practices and the entire staff is very warm and friendly. Highly highly recommend it for meat and non meat eaters.

    I've been waiting for a place like this my entire life. Finally the concept has come to life and with amazing and healthy food cooked with fresh ingredients. I don't have time or enjoy cooking much. I do a lot of Uber Eats but this is so much better than anything you could order, because of the quality of food you're getting. My favorite items that I've had so far have been: 1. The baked ziti (most definitely!) 2. The potato salad (amazing!) 3. The banana nut bread (make sure you eat it while it's fresh) The salmon dip was very good but I wouldn't say it tasted much like salmon dip. I liked a lot though! The curry mei fun was well made, but I wasn't crazy about the dish itself. The yucca soup was very good but not great! Excited to try everything on the menu.

    Super good food! Love everything I have bought from them and they're super friendly! Tried out their matcha chia pudding, curry Mei fun, & cilantro yucca salad. Price was good for 3 items. The matcha chia pudding probably my favorite for a little morning pick me up! That cilantro yucca salad is very interesting tasting, definitely can see it get paired up well with some green salad topping (personal preference). That Curry Mei Fun tho, 👌 spot on delicious! Everything in there looked so good! Will come back to try everything else! Update (as of 8/19): This place honestly never disappoints me! I love love their food! super fresh tasting!! Tried their Ramen today that had the soup & noodle separate so you can just heat up the soup to have the meal ready to eat!

    Lots of options for food, salads and desserts, and service was wonderful. It's ready to go food, but she heated up a plate so my boys could eat on the drive home as they were hungry and we don't live close by and even split it into two bowls for them. Great service.

    Great spot to pick up some take out and other vital vegan snacks. Everything is made or curated with a focus on health. I got the enchiladas, made fresh that morning with quinoa and mushrooms. There was no soy or fillers its high in protein, and slightly spicy. I'd say perfect! The average plate is between $11-14.

    **Quite possibly the best vegan restaurant** Wonderful food and staff! I am from DC where there are a plethora of vegan eats… but Pure Kitchen is a pure gem and tops any vegan venue I’ve ever been to. The concept is so refreshing not only is the food beautiful flavored but it’s also the healthier side not so processed as I’ve found most other eateries to be…also the items are not wildly expensive. There is never a wait and everything is so neatly organized. It’s just so easy to fall in love with this place ❤️ I wish I could take Pure Kitchen back to my hometown!!!!

    We were visiting Tampa and found this vegan place right before it closed for the day. I had a hard time choosing among a variety of pre-made dishes. I got the sesame noodles and they were delicious! Service was friendly, warm and customer-focused, they even offered to heat it up for us. We would love to return here on our next trip. I appreciate the great food and good vibes they offer!

    This place is amazing! The quality and options are top notch and it’s hard not to want everything - it’s all sooo good. Fresh ingredients and impeccable quality! I’m plant-based and simply love this place every time I’m in Tampa. A lot of plant-based/vegan places have more “carby” options (I.e burgers, nachos, fries, etc…) which are def delicious, don’t get me wrong. But if you’re looking for more of that healthier alternative that’s more wholesome then this is your place!

    My husband and I (both veggies) went here for the first time today! Wow, we plan on coming here once a week. Healthy organic vegan food that tastes really good. It is grab and go style. Take and eat on the spot or later. Lots of variety. Prices are good.

    I NEVER REVIEW ANYWHERE. This is my first time giving a review for a place and this was my first time at Pure Kitchen. As someone with many stomach issues I am so happy that this place has so many different options that are actually filling. I got the protein power bowl and a side of Mac and Cheese and I only got through half the bowl. The staff was so friendly and you can tell they take care to make the food by the way they present it. I will continue eating here for a long time, great place!

    I was close by and the Happy Cow app lead me to this restaurant for lunch. I had a Thai salad and a curried noodle dish with tofu and both were excellent. It's great when in a hurry and you can just "grab and go"

    Amazing selection of pre-made food and the option to have it heated and sit by the window and eat. Flavorful and healthy, with each dish clearly labeled with simple ingredients. Entirely worth stopping in! Soups, sides, snacks, desserts, entrees... Something for everyone! Wonderful polite service in a very relaxing and welcoming atmosphere.

    I just tried the crab cakes and they were the BEST crab cakes I have ever had! The rice was delicious as well. I am very impressed and excited to try the other meals I purchased. Very kind staff and delicious and healthy meals that you van enjoy in the comfort of your home = WIN!

  • 5/5 Andre (. 3 years ago on Google
    It was my first visit there today and had the Mac and cheese. It was very creamy and delicious. Literally told my friend that I would go back again and get more because of good it was. Service was great and I definitely recommend this place.

  • 5/5 Patricia V. 2 years ago on Google
    Outstanding staff & food! It's a grab & go concept but you get the full customer service experience, the food is flavorful, vegan and organic and the price is reasonable.

  • 5/5 Ethan P. 2 years ago on Google
    Wonderful spot to grab delicious, pre-packaged meals that won't break the bank. Food is always fresh tasting and I'm in and out in under 5 minutes; not to mention the service is always friendly! This is my current go-to spot for lunch when I'm in the office - Pure Kitchen had made my life so much easier!

  • 5/5 Joshua L. 2 years ago on Google
    Such an easy selection and pickup process. Everything's vegan so that makes it that much easier for selective diets. Chicken pâté and the buffalo Mac were delicious!

  • 5/5 Grand Puissant (. 4 months ago on Google
    This little hole in the wall is fantastic! There really isn't anywhere to eat, so basically take-out, but excellent. The make meals in a variety of flavors. I had the Jerk Fried Rice and it was awesome, plentiful (probably a double portion, but I was a pig and ate it all myself) and reasonably priced ($11). They heated-up for me and gave my utensils to enjoy it ... and the clincher: the container is biodegradable! Domo.

    I’m not kidding when I saw this is the best, most flavorful vegan spot in all of Tampa. The portion sizes are amazing and the price, flavor and ambiance exceeded my expectations! I will definitely keep returning. I love the meatless spaghetti and chia puddings. So glad Pure Kitchen is around. A great meal while supporting local business and choosing a more kind option for the environment!

  • 5/5 nicholas w. 2 years ago on Google
    I really enjoyed the vegan food so much I had to go twice in a day. Also very clean and friendly ladies. It's always a pleasure knowing your meals are made by people who are happy.

  • 5/5 Mariah E. 6 months ago on Google
    Fantastic food and service. The staff is incredibly helpful and always gives great recommendations.We've eaten there, and taken it home. No matter what we get, it's always fresh and delicious. We've never had a bad meal from this amazing place. We highly recommend it.

  • 5/5 Rachel K. 3 years ago on Google
    Tasty meals, you won't miss the meat! If you are avoiding animal products, or just want to celebrate plants, this is a great choice. Luxury drinks and in-house baked goods complete your meal. Be aware when arriving, pulling in can be slightly tricky.

  • 5/5 Gregory G. 1 year ago on Google
    Love love this place. The food is all organic and vegan. It’s rare to find a restaurant or take out that offers organic Romaine in their salads. This is the only place I’ve found yet . I come across the bridge from st Pete to eat here and will keep on coming.

  • 5/5 Gabriela G. 7 months ago on Google
    I got their Asian sesame noodles and yuca salad. very tasty! Lady who helped me out was very kind and helpful. I will be going back there. Grateful there is a vegan kitchen near my work.

  • 5/5 Jon W. 2 years ago on Google
    The people, energy, and food are amazing! I drive from 2 hours away just to eat here. Much love to the Pure Kitchen staff! You are working miracles and healing the community one bite at a time 🙏🏼

  • 5/5 Selenia W. 2 years ago on Google
    OMG this is so far only vegan food that doesn't make me scratch when I eat it. I think the other vegan places have something I'm allergic to probably the oil. Anyway this my 2nd time there. Love to food.

  • 5/5 raven h. 1 year ago on Google
    Food first. We got the buffalo mac & cheese, potato salad, smoked salmon dip all from the to-go section and then the Benedict which was cooked fresh, everything was a 10/10. Very happy that they use only olive and avocado oil, distilled water, and organic, really good quality ingredients. I love the Japanese influence too, from the ingredients to the place ✨ and then the people that work there, amazing. You can see the kitchen from the small storefront and the energy back there is high vibe 💓 oh and the prices are really good i was expecting a lot more

  • 5/5 Shevaun K. 1 year ago on Google
    Great clean food that still fills you up and satisfies all of your cravings I got the ramen and a cinnamon roll and it was amazing The salad as well. This is a great stop before going to the airport

  • 5/5 Tate D. 1 year ago on Google
    The food here is amazing. I will never get over the veggie noodles or the Asian salad. The people are so nice and it smells so good in here. An absolute must-try for any worldly person or vegetarian.

  • 5/5 Annah & R. 1 year ago on Google
    My Japanese husband and I just popped in by chance and were so pleasantly surprised by how amazing the atmosphere and food was here and so excited that the owner is Japanese! We are living in Nashville and have nothing like it! Take out vegan food at its BEST! The mushroom rice is SO good! I wish we could take Pure Kitchen to Nashville!✨✨
