University of South Florida
“Allergy menu available online daily. Dining staff serving food are not especially helpful but you can speak to a dining manager around and they can confirm for you what is safe. They rarely had nuts in the dining halls aside from peanut butter you can add separately to stuff, so I felt comfortable about cross contamination risks, as none of the prep areas were making dishes with nuts. I never ate desserts just in case, but I ate the soft serve from the machines! They also have a gluten-free section in dining halls with prepackaged Udi’s brand items such as muffins, breads, and cookies. ”
Romeo Tea
“I believe they do not use almond milk here, just dairy milk, so cross contamination with milks is not an issue! Always double check in case ingredients or options have changed, but I have had good experiences in the past getting boba! ”
Columbia Restaurant
“Educated staff. They bake bread in house so can confirm it’s peanut/tree nut safe! Don’t believe there are any nuts on the menu”
Jay Luigi
“Waitress asked about allergies before we ordered and she told me they take them very seriously! They mentioned they were conscious of my allergy when delivering my food. Delicious pasta! While there are nuts on the menu, no nuts in the pasta and they made me feel comfortable. ”
Bern’s Steak House
“They will go out of their way to ensure that I can eat safely. I was even able to eat dessert from their dessert room. Despite there being many desserts with nuts, they assured me they would prepare mine in a completely separate area with no risk of cross contact. ”
PopUp Bagels
“All bagels are safe! Made freshly there and only 3 flavors (plain,poppy, everything) so no chance of cross contamination. Have been to multiple locations and all are consistent. The only nuts they have are in their vegan cream cheese, but they are all served in sealed tubs that are made in a separate manufacturer. I felt very safe because it is totally separate and none of their kitchen utensils even have the chance to come in contact with it. ”
HaleLife Bakery
“Top allergen-free, vetted from the manufacturers! Delicious menu items and baked goods. ”
Green Lemon
“Didn’t see nuts on the menu – I ordered chicken quesadillas and the waitress flagged the allergy for the chefs with no problem. I also ordered a house margarita which I double checked about – and one of the bartenders came to my table and said they were a nut-free bar (except coconut). He checked the ingredients on the margarita mix and I enjoyed it safely! Plenty of clearly labeled vegan and gluten-free options too – chips are corn and I believe our waitress said the fryers are gluten-free as well.”
Bartaco Hyde Park
“Only have pistachio – they always say they will avoid cross contamination and keep anything separate”
Oxford Exchange
“I’ve eaten eggs and sweet potato fries here and have been fine. Just make sure to communicate your allergy very clearly to the waitstaff and they will notify the kitchen.”
World of Beer
“Allergen menu online with no nuts (except desserts) and server was very educated and confirmed my food was safe upon it arriving to the table. Was with a dairy-allergic friend and the brioche rolls were free of dairy as well.”
Eddie And Sam’s N.Y Pizza
“No nuts!”
Esposito’s Italian Restaurant And Bar
“Felt comfortable eating here! No nuts on the menu- don’t remember if pesto there has pine nut but regardless they were able to accommodate!”
Forbici Modern Italian
“While they do have nuts here, they take my allergies seriously every time. They are extra cautious and advise me to avoid the pasta just because they do not make the dough in house and err on the side of caution. I get the square pizzas instead and have had no issues. ”
La Segunda Bakery and Cafe
“No nuts are used in the bread they bake here and distribute to Publix. This is the bread they serve in the famous Columbia Restaurant in Ybor.”
Chipotle Mexican Grill
“Always completely nut-free and a great option super close by USF. Open till midnight usually too!”
Jeremiah’s Italian Ice
“They use a separate scoop for the peanut butter flavor and I’m assured every time that the other flavors are safe! I just don’t get toppings to be safe.”
Ava Tampa
“Didn’t see too many nuts in the menu besides pine nuts, maybe some in the desserts. I was able to safely have chicken parm. Solid Italian place in SoHo area.”
Nueva Cantina – Downtown Tampa
“Said they do not use any peanuts or tree nuts!”
SoFresh – Healthy Bowls, Wraps & Salads
“While they do have nuts here, I’m always assured that they can avoid cross contamination. I usually get a chicken quesadilla to be extra safe, since that is made in a separate area than the bowls. ”
