Best of Tallahassee 2025

We proudly recognize the winners of our annual readers’ poll as they continue to earn the trust and support of our community
Photography By The Workmans

Doesn’t it feel good to do business with a crew, a collective, or an expert you can really trust—one that goes above and beyond in the services they provide and makes the time you spend with them truly worthwhile? These special businesses, the ones capable of making us feel like family, are an integral part of our daily life in Tallahassee.

To honor them, Tallahassee Magazine conducts an annual poll that gives readers a chance to vote for their favorite businesses across four categories: Food & Beverage, Service Providers, Shopping, and Entertainment. Meet the winners (and a few of the faces behind the winners) here.

Categories marked with this asterisk (*) are not required to meet the “locally owned” rule due to the number of businesses that provide this service in our community.
