The original Fresh Kitchen location on South Howard Avenue, a beloved fixture in Tampa Bay’s dining scene, caught fire recently. This incident has led to the closure of the location, which may remain permanent.
Fresh Kitchen, renowned for its gluten-free offerings, opened its first restaurant nearly ten years ago in the historic Howard House. Since then, it has become a popular spot for health-conscious diners, known for dishes like sweet potato noodles, crunchy almond chicken, roasted sweet potatoes, and their famous gluten-free chocolate chip cookies.

For all of our fans, please visit us at our Westshore location. Thank you to everyone for your concern, and for sharing love with us. SOHO Strong, forever.”
