As someone lactose intolerant, vegan dessert shops are a God send. Everything is vegan and delicious! The ube donut should not be missed. I absolutely adore the strong ube flavour from the filling. The iced pistachio rose latte had a lovely, floral after taste with a solid nutty bite when drinking. The staff was friendly and I appreciate that the shop makes known it's a welcome space for all. Highly recommend for a sweet treat breakfast or afternoon pick-me-up. read more

This place is actual donut heaven. Like... mouth-drooping, jaw-on-the-floor level delicious. Hands down, the BEST donuts in St. Pete. No contest. If you need a donut (and let's be honest, sometimes you do), this is your place. They've got an insane variety and the donuts are massive. Fluffy, flavorful, and perfectly indulgent. Honestly, I could go every single weekend--but I try to save it for "occasions" (aka when I can justify the sugar coma) because... let's just say it's not waistline-friendly. But trust me--it's worth every bite. Run, don't walk. Valhalla, you've got a lifelong fan! read more

Always kind and personal service. Always delicious vegan desserts new ones and old favorites.

Unfortunately I was very disappointed. I arrived at this bakery with high hopes and they had so many pastries available so close to closing time there was plenty to choose from. They offered a deal on the donuts, buy 3 for the price of 1 so how could I say no. I got the Ube, which was good but did not taste anything like Ube. The blueberry lemon, this on was filled with super artificial lemon jam that resembled the taste of soap. The churro and cookies and cream, were too overly sweet which could be some peoples jams just not mine. The last donut I purchased was the peanut butter Chocolate pretzel, now this one was so pretty but it tasted very stale. Besides the donuts I also purchased the orange chocolate flourless cake which was fine, I wouldn't purchase again but I don't regret trying it. The cookie butter blondie though was very very good. In the display case all the pastries it listed prices that were quite high it almost steered me away from picking what I wanted. However once I checked out, I was rang up for almost half the price that it says they are. read more

LOVE their donuts, sausage rolls, and everything else that I've tried. ALL of it is so good!

Everything is so delicious. Great people. Always on my list of places to stop. I love taking their donuts to friends.

First of all. They are still here and open! Not sure why Yelp is saying that they aren't. Super good sweets and coffee drinks. Everything for a vegan sweet tooth! The staff here are also very sweet and kind. Enjoy! read more

I've been scoping out Valhalla's IG for some time and they had a guava rose cake slice that called my name. Too bad it was gone when I got there, but I was able to try the rose icing which they added on to the pistachio bar. I was a bit nervous to try this after I picked it out. I was worried about the texture and if it would be too hard for my teeth. That was not the case it all. It had a nice texture to it and it was chewy, not sharp. Just perfect. It was quite nice with rose frosting. It complimented it quite well. It's a bit sweet so I definitely mad sure to eat it in portions and have a few servings out of it. They also had red velvet Oreo cake. My husband loves red velvet. Valhalla is vegan so the texture is a little different than he is use to. It was very good and definitely was a winner. Valhalla has a nice couch inside to enjoy your sweets. They also have a vegan diner attached to it. I didn't get a chance to check out their offerings. Definitely check this bakery out for their wonderful desserts. They also had some cupcakes, other dessert bars, buns, etc z read more

After a Rays game, I was craving something sweet. So, I dragged my boyfriend with me to Valhalla Bakery to give it a try. Once we walked in, the girl behind the counter was very friendly and allowed us time to decide what we wanted to try. My boyfriend got the Cinnamon Bun and I got the two Chocolate Chips Cookies smashed with some Frosting in the middle. Once we got home, I devoured my cookie sandwich. It was so, so good! I was pleasantly surprised. I'll definitely be coming back to try some other bakery options. read more

I had seen this bakery on Yelp and saved it based on the reviews. It looks like there are two sides to this business but currently one is closed down and blocked off. The bakery is to-go only right now and has their cute couch and mural area blocked off. The shop is super cute and their plant sign made me laugh really hard. The employees said they think the owner had the sign made when I asked where they got it. Everything in the display cases looked so tasty but I quickly made my decision when I saw the pistachio rose cake. I just love pistachios in desserts so that made the decision making a little easier. The employees were nice and had bubbly personalities. I took a small bite outside when I took the cake piece out for the picture and oh my goodness, it was so good. The cake is pretty dense and the frosting light and fluffy. I restrained myself to just a few small bites and kept the right for when I got home. I only let Ben have one bite of this treat and ate the rest myself! read more

This was a random Sunday funday stop. Never been here before but so glad we stopped by. The donuts were soooooooo sooooooo good. We came late so there wasn't much variety left but I'm always good to go with a classic glaze. The donuts were huge too! We also grabbed a double chocolate cookie with sea salt and a coffee cake. Both were great. Randomly when checking out, the cashier and I locked eyes, but in the middle there was a giant fuzzy caterpillar. Scared me for a second actually hahaha! Will for sure be back to try some more of these glorious donuts! read more

I had been following Valhalla Bakery on social media for some time, and my first visit to the bakery did not disappoint! The best part about Valhalla: the pastries are vegan! I didn't know until after we ate our desserts and my friend told me. The desserts were dense and moist, and above all, full of flavor. Check their social media for the revolving menu of sweets. On weekends, they sell donuts (that I wish they had everyday, but oh well). On my visit, I grabbed: - Gayke: a rainbow-colored 5 layer cake with a sour rainbow candy strip on the top. The cake is dense and not overly sweet. It's a celebration of flavor and the LGBTQ community that proudly makes up St. Pete. - Death Bar: a layered bar consisting of brownie, peanut butter mousse, Oreo crumbles and chocolate drizzle. This is one of the richer desserts, but still, it's not too much to eat. If you like chocolate and peanut butter flavors together, this is the dessert for you. - Kitchen Sink cookie: I could eat a dozen of these cookies EASY. This is a chocolate chip cookie with sea salt, pretzel, and almonds... everything and the kitchen sink! The cookie is moist and baked to perfection. For a quick treat on the go, grab a cookie! I thoroughly enjoyed all of the desserts that I picked up on this visit. I live in Tampa, but I am scheming for the next time that I can make it to DTSP for another fix of Valhalla Bakery! read more

A cute little pastery shop. Tastefully decorated in that St Peats way that we are comfortable with. Right on Central ave with lots of other places to shop and eat. Plenty of street parking too. I've tried all the donuts and coffee and am going back to try more of their pastries and cakes. They are amazing. And, they are vegan too. I love it. I was looking forward to siting outside and enjoying the donuts & coffee but there aren't any tables or chairs. But the food is delicious. read more

Don't take my word for it but one try yourself and you will understand how awesome this place is! In my humble opinion, it is a top contender for a bakery (vegan or not) in St. Pete. Every delightful concoction is made with optimal taste and texture. This bakery also has some non-sweet/dessert handheld items such as bagel dogs and puff pastry squares with savory fillings. The current bakery space is so cute and they are adjacent/connected to Lucy's, with an eat-in counter in between. The decor is chic and aesthetically pleasing plants and an adorable green velvet couch in the seating area which is currently off limits during these COVID times (late Nov. 2020). I really enjoy each and every visit here getting to enjoy each of their delectable offerings!!!! On my most recent visit I snagged a S'mores Bar, A Mini Pumpkin Loaf, and a Pumpkin Streusel Bar. I loved the seasonal pumpkin treats, they were composed and consisted of fresh and flavorful ingredients. So much so that they tasted as fresh as I imagined the day I bought them. The S'mores Bar is a monster of a bar with a cookie base and layers with marshmallow. It is seriously divine. Their treats can be enjoyed by both vegans and non vegans alike and have been in my family. I have been plotting my next return! Check them out on social media to get updates and enjoy! read more

It's a plant-based paradise! We're fasting for lent and even if you're not vegan or fasting, I highly recommend you grab some baked goods from here. It's that good! We confirmed on our last visit after buying almost everything: IT'S ALL VEGAN! Yes, the cake, the cookies, the breakfast pockets, even the sausage roll! Everything is very good with only a couple misses. The four of us tried dang near 15 desserts and the only items we didn't love were the grapefruit bar (was lacking flavor) and the breakfast pocket (had some spices that weren't jiving). But literally everything else was worth it! There's not much seating inside but they do have lots of outdoor seating. The staff is also very friendly and helpful with our allergies. They are taking covid very seriously here and putting a limit to the capacity. Finally, be prepared to spend a lot, about $5 per item, because it's easy to go crazy and buy the whole store! read more

I went here after researching the best bakeries. I think the reviews don't do this place just. This might've been the best vegan baked goods I've ever had. I'm telling you, if you had to get anything-- you MUST try the pistachio rose bar. The consistency and flavor are so incredible that I wish I ordered more. The blondie came in close second since they really nailed the flavor as well. The death by chocolate bar was yummy but a bit too rich for me and the key lime was good but as expected. Overall, im now bias and think this is the best bakery in St Pete. I will be coming back here asap to try new things next time I'm in St. Pete. read more

The cookie part of the bourbon chocolate chunk and snickerdoodle yolo had a nice flavor and the right balance of salty and sweet. The frosting in the middle was too sweet and didn't really have any other flavor. Next time I'll just get the cookies. I also got a slice of the guava rose cake which could have been better. The guava was good and I wish there was more of it as it added a counterbalance to the overpowering sweetness of the rest of the cake. Overall everything was just too sweet for my taste, but I'd still come back for the cookies alone. read more

Excellent choice for vegans and folks with a sweet tooth. Because of the whole COVID thing, I really rushed in and out, but I can't wait to go back again. Adorable bakery with excellent customer service. I heard rumors that they sell out of stuff quickly, and I'm a weird sucker for rainbow baked goods - bizarre I know - but it's my favorite cake from Carlo's in NYC. I messaged them on FB to see if they had any left. Assumed nobody would reply. Got a message back within minutes. It's probably a good thing this Central Ave. gem is a 20-mile round trip ride, otherwise I'd be fatter than I already am and yes, I'm a fatty. read more

I first experienced Valhalla Bakery and their YOLOs in Orlando's Milk District as part of Market on South. I loved the vegan without seeming vegan look and taste that they were able to create. Unfortunately, Orlando is like a world away with young kids so Valhalla and I haven't spent nearly as much time together as I would've liked. When they opened a second location in St. Pete, I was stoked. Drive time was cut in half and there was finally a vegan bakery in the Bay area that I knew I could trust (let's face it, vegan baked goods are hard to conquer and there are a lot of bad ones out there). Currently, due to Covid-19 precautions, Valhalla Bakery is only allowing five customers in their bakery at a time. That meant that when I first arrived I had to spend a few minutes waiting in a line outside. Once inside, there were clearly marked boxes on the ground to stand in to keep a distance from other customers. With no menu anywhere and unable to see the bakery case from way back it was like a Christmas surprise when it was your time to order. If you can think of a baked good, they had it. Cupcakes, YOLOs, cookies, tarts, handpies, cake slices, sticky buns, I really could've ordered some of everything. As it was I walked out with an Oreo Sticky Bun, carrot cake slice, lavender cookie and peaches and cream handpie. My wife and I started with carrot cake. Oh my! Creamy icing, fluffy cake in multiple layers. It was a bit sweet but that just meant we couldn't eat it all in one sitting. The Oreo Bun is a dessert I have never come across before. Is anyone else doing this? I love sticky buns, Oreos are occasionally fun, so why not? While sweet, this one was more muted than the cake. Nice and sticky and soft with an Oreo aftertaste. Well done! The lavender cookie was a sugar cookie with a lavender aftertaste. I'm a huge lavender fan so this made me so happy. Sugary, soft, and it meltef in my mouth. My favorite was the peaches and cream handpie. A perfect balance of sweet, fruity and crusty. No weird aftertaste like some of the handpies I have had in the past. Valhalla Bakery is a great bakery whether you are vegan or not. The fact that it is all vegan makes it even more impressive! If you are in St. Pete and looking for something sweet, give Valhalla a try! read more

First things first I'm no stranger to Valhalla. I've visited the one in Orlando numerous times but this was my first time at the St. Pete location. The shop itself is super cute and trendy. It's connected to another vegan eatery. I plan on trying them soon. But anyways, absolutely love the decor! The staff was extremely inviting and helpful in explaining the menu. The customer service here is worth 5 stars alone! I opted for sweet and savory (as there were endless options to choose from). For the savory choices I got the cheddar scone and two pizza rolls. Truthfully, the scone was NOT hitting. I was told it was similar to red lobster cheddar bay biscuits.....nah. I detected a sweet taste that definitely didn't work with the garlic and cheddar flavors. But the pizza rolls??? Bay-bay 10/10. Give them a try and thank me later Now for the sweet choices, I chose the strawberry funfetti cake, a chocolate and guava cupcake, and an Apple fritter. The winner is fo sho the apple fritter. Just an enjoyable sweet experience of cinnamon,brown sugar, and apple-y goodness. Do yourself a favor and get this during your visit. The other items honestly were lackluster. I wouldn't get them again. **Something worth noting, during my visit they had a sign saying they were not warming up the items. If warmed treats is your jam you'll have to wait until you get home. Overall, my experience at Valhalla was good one. Go check it out even if you aren't vegan! read more

Holy Goodness. This is another amazing destination in the Grand Central District. The bakery features beautiful sweets and savory classics. The decor is stunning. The guava pastillito and almond apple frangipane caught my attention. But then, the classic monkey bread with it's ridges drenched in icing also earned a high honorable mention. If you're in St Petersburg and want the sweet treat on the corner... This is it. Central Ave is getting more popular everyday so parking can be like hunting an elusive rabbit (wabbit?). Try first ave South or first ave North for parking. Note: When I visited they were not taking cash. Does anyone still use paper? read more

We love Valhalla!! The lemon blueberry bar, poptarts, and rose pistachio bar are out. of. this. world! Cookies and cakes too. And the presentation is just so lovely! Honestly I don't think you can order badly here. We aren't even vegan and, truth be told, my husband's eyes rolled back so far in his head the first time I brought home treats from a "vegan bakery." He couldn't believe I would waste his precious dessert calories on vegan food. Well, the joke's on him because it turns out that he absolutely LOVES vegan dessert from Valhalla. He claims he never would have known it was vegan if I hadn't told him. So there you go. From one discerning sweet tooth to another, you won't be sorry. Or at least you won't be sorry if you order at least 2-3 items. That's really our only regret each time we visit (that we didn't leave with more, haha!). read more

We hopped in on a whim on a Saturday night right before closing. What a treat! We found that donuts are buy 1, get 1 free which is awesome.

Darling place, amazing treat options. Loved very bite! read more

Trying to find something for lunch in St. Pete, I accidentally found this super cute, super pink (on the inside) gem! The BEST part about this bakery? EVERYTHING inside is VEGAN! So feel free to order 1 of everything GUILT FREE ;) They have sweet and savory items that will satisfy whatever craving you have at the moment. I picked a few things to try out while I was there; and trust me y'all, they did NOT make it easy, as everything behind the case was calling my name! Luckily, I was there on a Wednesday and learned that on Wednesday's, you can get FOUR cookies for $6 instead of THREE (how did I get SO lucky?)! Made my decision on what to choose a little easier. I'll start with the S'mores Bar: it's exactly how it sounds. Yes, s'mores jam packed into a hearty bar that's way less messy than actual s'mores, but has the same great flavor! The top and bottom have this blondie mixed with graham cracker taste with that sweet chocolate and ooey gooey marshmallow middle, MMM! I popped mine in the microwave for a few seconds & man, it just took it to the next level! Next, the three different cookies I ate were the (seasonal) Strawberry Valentine Cookie, 2 Traditional Chocolate Chip and the Salted Double Dark Chocolate. Let's start with the Strawberry Valentine's Day cookie: the PERFECT amount of strawberry flavor; not overpowering! Sometimes, I feel like sprinkles take away from treats... but the sprinkle amount was just enough to add that crunch texture need for this super soft and fluffy cookie! The Traditional Chocolate Chunk cookie: always a classic I go for, and they did not disappoint! As soon as I picked up the cookie, it slowly started to droop which means it was baked to the texture I love! The chocolate chucks were in there sparingly; so if you're a super chocolate chuck lover, this is NOT the cookie for you (which means more for me) ;P And lastly, the Salted Double Dark Chocolate cookie: now if you're not a dark chocolate lover, just exit out my review, you've read enough! But if you are, welcome to the dark side ;) This cookie reminds me a lot of the same texture of the Traditional Chocolate Chunk, just replace the regular cookie part and add dark chocolate. It is RICH, with that pinch of salt needed to tone down a little of the sweetness. This isn't the super sweet cookie you eat after dinner... This is the kind of cookie you can eat with your coffee in the morning! (You're welcome by the way, I just gave you permission to eat cookies for breakfast ;)). Can't wait to go back to try four MORE things at once :) read more

Exceptionally torn as I write this review as we had very mixed feelings in our house about the baked goods I bought the other day. In full transparency, neither of us is vegan. With a in culinary arts and weddings I have eaten and made my fair share of vegan foods - NONE of the comments are a reflection of the products being vegan. A - They get bonus points for supporting the LGBTQ and BLM communities - your support really shows! Truly why they got bumped to a 4th Start B- They get big points for going cashless as a COVID-19 precaution. However, the same person handling food for customers, is also answering the telephone the next second. And when pulling pastry out of the case for me I realized she was setting it on a counter behind her with a food smear across it. C- Really bummed to walk in on Donut Day and find out they only have Donuts on weekends! I bought four items - Spinach and Artichoke Hand Pie - It was nicely browned and topped with a sprinkle if what looked like Everything Bagel seasoning. The texture was nice but the filling was odd. it really lacked flavor and had zero texture - it was just mush. Earl Grey Scone - this was truly the one standout item. It was good size with a wonderfully crumbly texture, the tea flavor came through with a touch of sweetness from the glaze. Definitely my go-to item if I go back. Chocolate Chunk Cookie - I bought this for my husband who is a chocoholic. I looked at other available chocolate options but nearly everything had a fruit or other flavor infused. The cookie had a nice texture and a decent amount of chocolate chunks but not much flavor, it had no sweetness or vanilla or really anything. Lastly, I bought a heart shaped Cherry Hand Pie - it had a cute red and white glaze with Valentine's Day sprinkles. The cherry filling was flavorful with some noticeable bits of cherry for texture. It was something I would order again. I know it was Valentine's week and they were probably gearing up for a crazy busy weekend... but things were kind of all over the place. As we love supporting small local businesses and had two very nice items, we'll probably give them another chance and update the review. read more

We love Valhalla and so do a lot of folks who come visit. Don't sleep on their savory goods!! I came for the sweets but their breakfast croissants, focaccia, and tarts are incredible. A go-to is also the guava pastelitos! So good. Love their cookies too. The only downside is that some of their sweet baked goods can be a little to sweet for me and my partner, but that's a personal preference. read more

Very rude. We called to order vegan cupcakes for our daughter's birthday. We couldn't order Monday or Tuesday because they were closed. We couldn't order online because we needed 16 rather than the twelve that you could order online. They were very rude when they that they needed 48 hours for any order. We needed to pick them up the next day because the event was Friday morning at 930am. They only open at 10am so we needed the items the night before. Thankfully, it turns out Publix also has vegan cupcakes. They are also open normal hours and were super friendly when we called. Looks like we will not need this establishment to ensure our vegan friends are taken care of. read more
