I was an avid Vale customer in Fort Lauderdale. I ordered there almost daily and the food tasted great, looked great, consistent portions, and never got an order wrong. The Tampa location misses all of that. My order is almost never correct, food looks subpar, the portions are not consistent. I order the same items as FTL location and it looks unappetizing along with people not reading the order and giving the wrong items. I hope you can improve. read more

Great food!, many options and good service. Love the music too. Not a line either and it all looks fresh!

Love the food!! Great service! Lots of great options too and healthy bariatric friendly options read more

Great fast service and delicious guilt-free food! I'm always in and out and looove everything I've had here!

10/10 my favorite place to eat downtown. It's always fresh and incredibly consistent. The staff are incredibly pleasant and their baked goods are to die for. It's always clean as well! I'll continue coming back. read more

When my friend and I walked in, we could both tell that the workers were under some kind of influence. There were flies flying around all of the food. The workers also did not have any gloves on and one of them picked something out of my bowl WITH THEIR BARE HANDS. They also sliced my friend's avocado with their bare hands. We were scared to eat our food. My friend did in fact get food poisoning, should have just thrown it away but we didn't want to for $20. read more

Love the food at vale! Always great service and I always enjoy every meal! Super Fresh!

The tuna was very fresh! The combination of pineapple, carrots and avocado was devine! I chose the honey siracha sauce! It was good but spicy!! The only reason I gave Vale a rating of 4 is because of the service. It is a downtown lunch rush and there was no sense of urgency! read more

Why do I fein for the noodles here? I like that their menu remains consistent, as their options do not change. I wasn't expecting much when I first came here as the presentation looks minimal. To my surprise their simple, clean and flavorful options are just yummy and tremendously appetizing! read more

I came here during peak lunch hour, the place was packed so I had to get my order to go. I got the medium bowl which was more food than I expected. The quality of the meal was pretty good, the turkey meat balls where a little dry in my opinion but everything was well cooked and tasty. I would advise new comers to have a look at what they want before getting in line. You kinda feel rushed when the servers ask what you want. read more

Vale is a super convenient place for me to pick up lunch--I work in the Suntrust building. My observations: 1. Very small portions for high prices 2. Most things I've tried are bland 3. The ordering system is confusing. I think you order poke and açaí bowls on the side and bowls at the back. 4. If you come at lunch time, the seating situation can be very uncomfortable. Do yourself a favor and get a flavorful, fresh, well-portioned lunch just two or three blocks away at SoFresh. read more

First time here and I really enjoyed the food. It's healthy, convenient, & quick. I also liked all of the different options. It's a bit pricey but you get a lot of food. I also like the different options for non meat eaters. I'll be back! Plus they're acai bowls look delicious as well... Must have! read more

The portions are large and there are many options. Delicious food. The service was amazing. They walked me through the choices and gave recommendations. read more

Vale is a solid lunch option located in Downtown Tampa. They have options for all diets and you can modify the bowl to make it healthy. If you look at the picture I posted, mine wasn't so healthy. I placed an online order to the Fort Lauderdale store but the Customer Service at the Tampa location couldn't have been any better. They told me I wasn't the first idiot to place an order at the Fort Lauderdale store that day so that made me feel better about myself. Nonetheless, they rectified the situation and were able to make me my bowl and not charge me an additional dime. I ordered a Regular Bowl - Chipotle Mac 'n Cheese, Seasonal Greens, Roasted Broccoli, Balsamic Roasted Mushrooms, Ancho Pulled Chicken, Honey Sriracha Chicken Meatballs, and some Chipotle Ranch on the side. As I said, not even close to being healthy. However, there was so much flavor in the bowl that I didn't even need to open the dressing. Good food, but greater customer service will lead me to coming back to Vale in the future. read more

I was walking around downtown with a friend. I wanted to eat something healthy since we had just worked out. I saw Vale and I immediately knew I wanted to eat there. It's a great location with open space, lots of windows and natural light. They offer açaí bowls & poke bowls but today I wanted something hot. Colette served us and she provided excellent customer service. She explained all of the options and walked us through the menu. I ordered a regular size bowl with Steak, Italian Chicken, Greens Salad, Sweet Potato Noodles, Green Beans, Mushrooms, and added Shaved Almonds & Parmesan Cheese. I also got a small sized beverage and tried the Cold Pressed Dragon Fruit Lemonade. I paid $15.68. My friend ordered a regular size bowl with Ancho Chicken, Steak, Sweet Potatoes, Buffalo Cauliflower, Rice, Shaved Almonds, & Feta. Everything that I ordered tasted great. I'm not in downtown often but when I do go there, this would be my go-to choice for a post-workout meal. read more

I wanted to like this place. But it was not good. Pulled chicken had no flavor. The bowl was super greasy. The to-go bowl was sucking up all the grease and leaking everywhere. It was not good. I think they deserve a second chance. But this was certainly not great. Entire bowl was just lacking something. I did in fact enjoy the spicy feta though. And the Buffalo chicken wasn't awful. The sweet potato noodles tasted very salty and like soap. Quite bizarre. read more

Friendly, fast service. Everything looks fresh and delicious and healthy! Will for sure be back!

Great food and service! Loved the sweet potato noodles and chicken teriyaki. Highly recommend

Fresh food! Great poke bowl, salmon tasted a little not-as-fresh as I would imagine it would if eaten there earlier in the afternoon, the kale salad portion of the poke bowl was 10/10! Would return read more

Equipped with an array of poke bowls, acai bowls, smoothies, chia seed puddings, and health food bowls, Vale has a lot of options for people who want a healthier meal for breakfast or lunch. The food was okay -- the health food bowl had a lot of weird options for vegetarians and it's not a good place to go if you don't like things spicy (I love spice but my friend didn't and her mouth hurt). The food is really expensive for what you get (compared to other places in Tampa) and I personally was not sure if it was worth it. The chia seed pudding is good and I really liked the fruit on top. The strawberry granola was delicious and I really liked how it tasted with my pudding!! Would not recommend the vegan dark chocolate chips though -- tasted really bland; I had to pick them out of my pudding to finish it. Overall, a pretty average experience. Would come here again for a meal but wouldn't say a friend NEEDED to visit. read more

This place is near my new work so I really wanted to like this place. I love build your own bowl concept. But this place needs to amplify their food temperature, taste & quantity. I paid $8.95 for a small bowl with $1.00 extra for the guacamole and it was not worth it. My Southwest chicken was lukewarm and underwhelmingly seasoned. I basically got a slightly fancy salad with a meh chicken. It fo to 3 stars because of interior ambiance and quickness. read more

Fresh. Hearty. Healthy. Delicious. This pretty much sums up my review. Thanks for reading. Oh, yeah--details. Well, if you're health conscious, like deliciously-fresh food, like to leave a food establishment with a full belly (and with leftovers), then this is where you and your hunger need to be! It's cafeteria-style bowl creation: pick your starch, protein, veggie, boost, and sauces then off you go to enjoy. I selected quinoa, ancho-pulled chicken, balsamic mushrooms, feta cheese and a honey-mustard sauce. Many combinations to choose from, but I think I had a winner. The bowls are two sizes: small for $7.99 and regular @ $9.99. I ordered a small, and let me tell you---I was stuffed and took my remaining food with me. I couldn't believe there were no other diners there; perhaps as it was after rush hour or most downtown workers were already home, but I'm sure this place must be packed during lunch time. They also serve Acái and Dragon Bowls, which I would like to try with a future visit. I'm looking forward to my next visit and wish Vale Food much success! read more

I eat at Vale on an almost weekly basis since I work in downtown Tampa, and because it is a good and inexpensive vegetarian option. My go to is the small bowl with quinoa or sweet potatoes as the base, buffalo cauliflower (note: only available on Monday's!!), shaved brussel sprouts (shaving them makes them so good), and the avocado caesar dressing. Vegetarian note: if you don't get a protein, you can get two veggies for no upcharge (but the online ordering system won't allow you to do this). The buffalo cauliflower is definitely the best thing on the menu. My coworkers and I used to call every day to see if it was being served, until we learned that it is every Monday. My complaint would be the lack of vegetarian protein options. I would love some beans as an option, or something besides tofu and oomph. I don't particularly love coconut, and the coconut oomph really hits you over the head with coconut. The BBQ tofu isn't a great texture and the BBQ sauce seems like it comes in a bottle from the grocery store. read more

I love finding new spots to eat nearby. I attended an event that was hosted here so it was pretty busy. The ordering process is pretty simple, same as other "build your bowl" eateries. What sets Vale apart from the others is that they are serving healthy options, including vegan items. All of the staff were helpful in answering questions and making recommendations. I had my choices all prepared for each segment of the assembly line. But was disappointed that once I got to the first station and selected my base item, the protein & veggie items listed on the board had changed and they were not available. Keeping the lists current would help things run smoother and more efficiently. Everyone had to make quick decisions on new selections, which made me feel a bit rushed due to it being busy. The food was delicious and the portion was enough to be a filling lunch and take the rest home for a snack. I'll definitely go back and try a few different combos. read more

I ordered a salad via Uber eats. For the price, I did not think the quality or quantity was worth it. The salad was all misrepresented. It said it came with avocado but it was actually very salty guacamole. read more

This was my first visit to one of the newest addition to Tampa downtown healthy food scene. Vale has a great feature wall outside for the required photo opt. Inside the rustic chic/ contemporary vibe continues with a lot of wood features and a cool lounge area in addition to the middle seat+tables they have in the center of everything. They have two order areas. One is dedicated to açaí and dragon bowls. There're three options for granola; pecan, blueberry and strawberry. They have great options for fruit toppings- I hope they add mango in the future. We got three different combinations and each tasted awesome. I will definitely be revisiting but next time I will try their poke bowls and their protein bowls. Total for two regulars and one small $28. read more

Healthy food options in a prime spot downtown! I think they will do well. You can either build a bowl or get an acai bowl. At a Yelp event, we built our own bowl. I chose the sweet potatoes, steak, mushrooms, goat cheese, and chipotle ranch (an odd mix, but tasted pretty swell all together). The sweet potatoes had a unique spice they were cooked in, that I might have to call and ask for because they were pretty bomb. I'd definitely go again to try something else! - Which is the perk of building your own bowl, as you can build and switch it up until you get it perfect. read more

It Was Amazing! I had the Mac and cheese with turkey meatballs and cheese and I wish I would have got the bigger bowl! The service was amazing and the food came out hot and ready read more

I ordered a smoothie (pitaya) and it was delicious. Service was quick and the staff was so nice. Would definitely recommend for a healthy meal! read more

I was really excited when I heard about this place. When you walk in, it can be confusing. There are two separate lines. One for the hot food and one for cold food. I got the tuna poke bowl. It was very bland and uninspiring. They mixed in brown rice which tasted more like something you'd find at a cheap Mexican place. He tuna quality was okay. Didn't taste very fresh. The bowl as a whole was presented very nicely though. My wife got a hot meal with chicken and veggies. The presentation of the food was unappetizing as some proteins and veggies looked like it just had left over scraps. The food was luke warm and overall tasted okay. I wouldn't come here again and would not recommended to others. read more

Love the concept and the freshness, but the food is just okay. I got the regular bowl so I felt like I tried enough things :/ Nothing I got had a really outstanding flavor in my opinion. I tasted a lot of strong herbs and vinegar in the based and veggies. The meat was a little dry. I'll probably be back to try the acai bowl one day though. Those looked yummy. It's a completely different section - superfood bar! It was super clean and the service was good! The interior is cute and open, but the seating is tight and awkward. Love the little couch section though. All in all it might not be the place for me but I'd for sure give it a try. It's new and a great fit for downtown. read more

Service was fast even during the lunch hour. Great spot if you're looking for a healthier option. The teriyaki chicken is pretty good and a little spicy. Overall pretty pleased. read more

I really wanted to like this place but from the moment I walked in I knew I should have chosen somewhere else. I ordered and paid online and food wasn't ready(no big deal), and they asked for my order so clearly they never received or processed it (even though i had an emailed receipt). The woman in the pick up area was pretty rude like it was a bother for me to be there. The biggest issue was that I ordered a vegetarian bowl but found pieces of chicken mixed in and had to trash the entire bowl. I definitely don't recommend. read more

Disappointed - shrimp (additional upcharge) was overly salty, made it unpleasant! They did serve a generous amount of protein - The pic. is missing at least 4 - 5 pieces of shrimp that I already ate FYI!). The broccoli was just okay, got a ton of it - lightly seasoned. I liked the consistency of the sweet potato noodles - besides that, really plain tasting...They need to step up their game to Fresh Kitchen level; I want something that's more flavorful & tasty for similar prices - okie?! read more

Vale Healthy Kitchen - Tampa - Shrimp + broccoli + sweet potato noodles: 3/5 - Acai Bowls Near Me - Tampa, Florida

I floated between 2 and 3 stars Vale. Today was my first time eating here and while the food was tasty, there were other things that dropped them down to 3 stars. First, when I asked what the gluten free options were, I was told by a gentleman that, "All proteins we have today are gluten free." So, I chose rice for my base, mushrooms for my veggie, and I was about to choose a delicious looking chicken in a cream sauce but decided to just double check that it was in fact gluten free. The same gentleman said, "Yeah, it has cheese and flour...does flour have gluten?" For those of you who don't know, flour is the MAIN item that contains gluten. I'm so glad i double checked. So I chose the ancho chicken, corn salsa, and goat cheese. I was then informed that they were out of goat cheese. So i went with feta, curry honey mustard sauce and chipotle ranch on the side. I was sorely disappointed at how little sauce they give (see photo). I may give it another try, but I plan on first approaching the manager to see if I can help educate their staff on what gluten is. read more

Updated review: more than 2 years later this place really improved! Much better and fresher selection. More vegetarian options. Very friendly staff. They had a very busy lunch crowd (: So happy this place is doing great. Adding another star to my old review. read more

I've given this place two tries now and both times were extremely disappointing. With advertisement like a healthy option comparable to fresh kitchen, id say this is the opposite. I got the sweet potato noodles which were overly salty and drenched in some type of teriyaki sauce. The cauliflower sauce was dripping and too watery, making everything soggy. Perhaps the worst was seeing a kitchen employee handle transferring food pans without gloves on. This food is too expensive for what it is. I ended up having to buy another lunch next door, partly bc it was not pleasant and partly because I just couldn't stop thinking about the glove-less employee. read more

Came to a Volleyball tournament and swung by Vale for a pre-game Acia. There was literally one customer before us and the wait time was ridiculous, so bad that the person behind us left! We ended up grabbing our bowls to go-- we arrived at the convention center, began to eat our bowls and the pineapple all over the acia was absolutely rancid! This was an awful experience. The staff is unwelcoming, lackadaisical, and unaware of the spoiled food they are serving. I attempted to call multiple times to make them aware, but the never picked up the phone. I emailed the company and never head back from them either. A complete waste of time and money. read more

Tried this place for the first time yesterday and they didn't disappoint! A good friend brought me and he loves the place, he goes at least twice a week! It's comparable to fresh kitchen , the food is all ready cooked you just gotta order from behind the counter. They have a lot more options and the seasoning is better in my opinion. This location also has a counter where you can build poke bowls and order smoothies. The service was fast and friendly ! For anyone who is health conscious and looking for a quick meal , this is it read more
