This is no longer a dedicated gluten-free facility. They now sell gluten containing items but they keep gluten items away from everything and has its own area. it seems very safe

Everything smelled great so I was very shocked at how bland everything was. The black beans were hard and not soaked long enough, pork was dry. Queso was coagulated. Very dirty kitchen and atmosphere. I had been wanting to try this place based on the reviews & I left just so confused. Definitely wouldn’t eat here again. Surely not safe for celiacs.

The food was SO good here. Everything is gf except a dessert they said is contained away from everything. The flavors are super unique, I’ve never had anything like it. The man working gave us samples of anything we wanted before ordering as well, so we got to try almost everything! It was so hard to choose favorites, but the coconut rice, plantains, kale side, and beans stuck out! My only complaint is that I do agree with the comment before discussing cleanliness.

I'll just start off by saying that this food was AMAZING....but if you care about the cleanliness about the kitchen you better not go here.

The food was absolutely amazing. I lived it. As a gluten free person this was amazing and delicious and I could feel totally safe here. 5 stars on food

But

The kitchen was absolutely disgusting. The man didn't wear gloves when making the bowl. Did not enjoy how dirty and unclean the place was.

Fantastic restaurant. It is a bowl and you can have a vegetarian, vegan or meat. Delicious food like Chipotle sweet potatoes, ginger black beans, slaw, sweet plantain, coconut rice and on and on. They also have their own signature sauces. They are fantastic. Completely gluten-free dedicated. Love the food!

We are visiting St. Pete and decided to try this restaurant. We are all gluten free and I am also dairy and soy free. What a little gem this place is! If you are here and celiac or dairy free this is a winner! Very nice worker. Very friendly and helpful. We will be back

One of the best bowl style restaurants I’ve ever been to. The entire restaurant is dedicated GF so there were no cross contamination concerns which is always such a relief. The black beans are the best I’ve ever had. Would definitely eat here again!

The Florribean was a sweet little find in St. Petersburg's near Tropicana Field! Dedicated GF restaurants are hard to come by.

There is no gluten in the kitchen ever! Whew!

We ordered 3 bowls-- my daughter with celiac ordered the kids bowl with chicken and the lime crema sauce. My husband and I ordered the Sweet Heat Havana and the Island Umami bowl. We also ordered the coconut lime drink.

The coconut rice in the bowls were so good! The meats were flavorful. And, I want to go back for more of the coconut lime juice 😋

The employee said they do not have any items with gluten. We ordered a beef bowl and a pork bowl. Both were fantastic. The queso and the lime crema were so good! Chips were great too. Plenty of street parking within one block.

I started ordering from Floribbean just after quarantine when I was comfortable picking up food to go to eat at home. In addition to being gluten free I’m allergic to cucumbers, and they always remembered me and my allergies when I came in. I’ve since taken family and friends there and never heard a complaint. The food is fresh, full of flavor, with a good price point, good portion size and great vibe. Fast and casual. Fun sauces and beers. Now there is outdoor seating to enjoy as well. I don’t think they call themselves a dedicated gluten free restaurant, but the items they serve are naturally gluten free, such as chicken, plantains, beans, etc.

A neat little build-your-own-bowl spot featuring a variety of Caribbean flavors. It’s good for takeout and has a cute patio. Everything is GF and the vast majority of the menu is vegan. I would recommend getting the curtido slaw as a side to contrast with some of the heartier options.

Don’t skip the fresh juices — both the coconut ginger lime and mango grapefruit hit the right tangy-sweet spot to complement the slow cooked meats.

Everything on the menu is listed gluten free and the woman serving confirmed this but she was not very knowledgeable about what gluten is. Seeing as nothing contains gluten in the place, I guess it doesn’t matter but I just thought it was a little odd. The bowl was good but just didn’t feel great after… no gluten issue just kind of too heavy and oily. Personally, I would not go back as I felt there were better and healthier gluten free options available but that’s more of a personal preference, it seems safe for gluten issues.

This place just feels too good to be true but it isn’t! The food is so so so delicious and has not once made me feel sick. It’s the kind of food that is so good and safe that your stomach actually feels just so good after eating it. I’m Hispanic and really love Spanish and Caribbean style food. This place just does it right. Nothing is over powering while also being so well seasoned and tasty. My new fav gluten free spot 💚
