my pilgrimage to the vegan treats mecca

The week before I moved, I decided to make the 3 hour trip out to Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, to visit the infamous Vegan Treats bakery, because I figured it might be the last chance I have for a while. If I let the east coast without seeing this place, I’m not sure I could live with it. I’ve really admired their pastries for a long time now; Their vegan cheesecakes are probably the most accurate one’s I’ve had so far. Anyways, when I got there, I was really impressed with the place. It was so cute, and If I ever have a bakery, I would be proud if it looked anything like this one. It was so random, too; it’s this little punk rock vegan paradise, tucked away in a small Pennsylvania town about an hour outside of philly.


That last shirt design was my favorite out of the 8(?) designs they had. Too bad they were out of stock, or else it would be mine! Still awesome, no?

Instead of cupcakes, they had these mini cake like pastries that went for $6 a pop. It was enough for 2-3 servings, though. I can put away some cheesecake, but I was only able to finish half of my brownie chunk cheesecake. They also have cookies, donuts(!), and soft serve. I picked up one of my favorites to-go: the raspberry cheesecake. If you’re ever near Bethlehem, PA, please do yourself a favor and visit Vegan Treats Bakery to see it in person (and send a boston cream filled donut my way while you’re at it)!

    Thanks for directing me here from my post on VRA. This place looks adorable and the desserts sound amazingly delicious. Why don’t we have one of these in Austin? :)
