I love supporting vegan & GF businesses which is why I gave 3 stars instead of 2, but I have to be honest in my feedback because I’d hate for a non-vegan to try these baked goods and then presume “all” vegan/GF places are of this quality. The carrot cake cupcake was aesthetically-pleasing (w a cute carrot design on the top) but it was fairly dry & crumbly (which I know can be a tendency of gluten-free items – but if I can make an extremely moist cake at all times that is gluten-free then I’m pretty sure a bakery should be capable of achieving this). It also didn’t consist of much shredded carrot at ALL nor spices or other ingredients you would expect in a carrot cake (eg raisins or walnuts). It was akin to eating a dense vanilla cupcake, with little bits of carrot embedded. The Tiramisu was tasty (well, 7.5/10 tastewise) but it was essentially a denser sponge cake with a cream-like icing that was “not” reminiscent of the light mascarpone cream you should expect. It had the expected appearance of a Tiramisu, and the icing was dusted w coffee powder, but if the cake part of the tiramisu was coffee-soaked at all (as it ought to be) you really couldn’t tell; it tasted more like a plain vanilla cake. 😐 The maple doughnut was tasty and fairly fluffy, but people who haven’t had a vegan GF doughnut need to be aware it is basically a cake in a doughnut shape. I’d understand this level of quality if these cakes were half the price, but given the small square of Tiramisu was ~$12.00, cupcake was almost $7, the doughnut was >$5 …this was definitely not worth it. If you’re looking for a better vegan/GF bakery I would definitely recommend visiting Toluca Bakery out in the Valley! They are a no-frills, fully vegan bakery that have sooo many GF options and for a lesser price than Erin McKenna’s which at this point seems to be all about the name than the legitimate quality of the items. Just my very honest, opinionated two cents!💗🤗

As someone who is dairy free i always struggle to find a desert that isn't just sorbet. This place was amazing, had so many options all of which are dairy free and only a couple weren't gluten free. Plus they do doggy ice creams. The coffee and choc chip i had was amazing, I wish they had these in the UK.
