Lois Ave. inside the Westwood Building. It&#8217;s 100% gluten-free. The cafe sits in Westshore and serves sandwiches, salads, smoothies, and breakfast items from 7:30 a.m. until 2 p.m. on weekdays.<\/p>\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/thatssotampa.com\/clever-deli-gluten-free-cafe-tampa\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">That&#8217;s So Tampa,<\/a> Ryan spent 14 years as an on-air meteorologist with Tampa Bay 28 ABC. She retired this spring. Broadcasting kept her busy for almost three decades before she switched gears and started this new venture.<\/p>\n<p>Doctors diagnosed Ryan with Celiac Disease halfway through her broadcasting career. For over ten years, she struggled with eating out. Restaurants and breakfast joints didn&#8217;t understand what she needed. So she decided to open her own spot.<\/p>\n<p>Want breakfast? Try avocado toast, French toast, buttered toast, or a BEC sandwich. Hot sandwiches include Cubans and Reubens. There&#8217;s also an avocado chicken quesadilla and a chicken salad baguette. Lunch brings toasted roast beef paired with Vermont cheddar.<\/p>\n<p>Coffee lovers get drip, espresso, and lattes for $2.99. A double espresso runs $3.50.<\/p>\n<p>Four salads sit on the menu. Smoothies too. You can build your own breakfast with eggs, hash browns, bacon, and grits.<\/p>\n<p>Seed oils? Not here. The kitchen uses cage-free eggs and grabs non-GMO and organic ingredients whenever they can. No artificial ingredients. No added colors. No preservatives.<\/p>\n<p>Vegan options exist. So do nondairy and nut-free choices. Ryan also operates mobile delis that pop up at different spots around town.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Shay Ryan launched Clever Deli at 2002 N.
