I'm not vegan, but my friends are and they brought me some carrot cake and cookie butter cake from the new East Falls location. As an avid baker with a major sweet tooth, I can honestly say these were amazing - you really would never be able to tell they were vegan! Carrot cake with cream cheese frosting is one of my all-time favorites, and this one was so moist and delicious. Surprisingly though, the cookie butter cake ended up being my favorite of the two. It was perfectly sweet, packed with that warm cinnamon-spicy flavor, and incredibly moist. I can't wait to try more of their baked goods! read more

I picked up a small chocolate cake with several different kinds of baked goods for my friend's birthday dinner. Everyone loved the pop tarts, and assorted cheesecake slices I served. The bakery is small however they always have a great variety of baked goods, and the flavors are amazing. My only reason for a 4-star review is the inability to connect with the business directly on the phone, despite their phone number being listed on Google. read more

Crust shared on Instagram that they were serving up a biscuit breakfast sandwich and that got my attention, so my husband and I decided to check them out on one of their early mornings (they are only open at 8am on weekends starting on Fridays). So on a Friday, we headed there at 8am and ended up getting that biscuit sandwich - a biscuit with a JustEgg and sausage and cheese - and we also picked up a bacon egg and cheese on a croissant. Both were SO GOOD. We also grabbed a slice of cheesecake for later which was good as well. There are far too many sweet choices - I need to go back and try them out soon! read more

We placed a big order for desserts for a catered event and everything was delicious. We got an assortment of brookies (like a chocolate chip bar), brownies, and peanut butter blondies; an assortment of cookies; and two specialty cheesecakes (s'mores cheesecake: marshmallow base w/ ganache drizzle +toasted marshmallow + graham crumb; and, french toast cheesecake: maple/spiced base w/ whip cream + maple syrup drizzle + dash of spice). Everything was so flavorful, sweet but not overly sweet, and had an excellent texture. The cheesecakes were both dense and creamy; I highly recommend both these incredible flavors! Crust answered all of our questions in advance (via email) and ordering was extremely smooth. We would love to have them cater our desserts again! read more

I have enjoyed all my items from here. The croissant sandwich was close enough to the real thing, the ice cream was flavorful, the pastries were nicely decorated and didn't feel like substitutes. I just wish they had a description of the sandwiches and I didn't have to ask because I probably would have gotten the sausage biscuit too. I heard other vegans rave about this place and I wanted to try. Finally did and it was a nice surprise even though I am not vegan nor vegetarian. Staff here is friendly. read more

I've been to crust vegan bakery multiple times and am never disappointed. The staff is very friendly, I loved the old location and the new East Falls locations is super cute. I've been vegan for several years and have yet to find vegan desserts as good as theirs. Highly recommend to everyone! read more

I've been here a handful of times since my original review and have had consistently excellent experiences. A few things to highlight: the oatmeal raisin cookie is a 10/10. The blueberry muffin is on the denser side but delicious and will definitely order again. The pumpkin spice scone was just ok, not as good as their other scones. The tiramisu parfait was good but not the best vegan tiramisu I've had. The croissant breakfast sandwich was well-loved. They used to have incredible hot chocolate but did not have it at our most recent visit. read more

I am far from Vegan. I'm also blessed with no issues around Gluten, am not lactose intolerant, nor do I have any dietary issues. For those reasons, I never felt it urgent to check out Crust Vegan Bakery. I'd recommend you avoid this mistake and give them a go ASAP. I've had a handful of their cookies and cookie sandwiches. OMG! Every bite is amazing. I cannot tell it doesn't have any of the things I would regularly expect to make it tasty. While I wouldn't flag any dessert as healthy, I believe they are healthier than alternatives as well. Enjoy! read more

It's always nice to find locally owned bakeries. I'm always concerned and skeptical about trying vegan food. The oatmeal raisin cookie confirmed my skepticism, but the chocolate chip cookie was pretty good. The worker was very clever with getting me to tip. Overall I would recommend to try. read more

i'm 2 bites into the pistachio cardamom cake and had to write a review. unique flavors- not overly sweet, and super fragrant through every bite. Great texture on the cake itself, the frosting is rich and velvety. My partner got the Wildberry pop tart which was also awesome, it reminded her of a jelly donut. i've liked everything I've tried so far, but this has something special. If you like more floral/spiced/nutty desserts as opposed to chocolate/fruity/sweet ones definitely a good choice- well done Crust :) read more

So glad I got to visit Crust for the first time-- I've followed their Instagram for a long time, and everything looked just as delicious in person! The shop is very cute. In addition to the baked/refrigerated goods they have chocolate, candy, teas, and various gifts. My friends and I tried the apple pie sundae, wild berry poptart, and vanilla cheesecake. The worker was helpful in guiding our decisions-- there were so many options to choose from! Aside from the cheesecake being on the plain side, everything was fantastic. Next time I'm in Manayunk I'm excited to come back and try more :) read more

I was really disappointed with the flavors and the service! Staff was pretty rude and didn't seem like they really knew how to talk with the public. The cookies I bought, and a chocolate poptart was dry and very faint in flavor. The pop tart icing popped off the second I took a bite. The only dessert I was really pleased with was a blueberry (I think) cheesecake that had lavender sprinkled on top. The edge crust of the cheesecake contained the cheesecake filling, which was pleasantly surprising. The flavor was faint on this dessert as well, but had a good ratio of filling, crust, and topping. The absolute worst part is this business still follows COVID protocols. That is FINE. Until you get to the end and they present you the tablet with the tip section and go "what buttons do you want me to press??" Makes for a very uncomfortable situation for your patrons. Just let them press it themselves!! read more

As someone who is lactose intolerant and has almond nut allergy its not always easy for me to find desserts and treats that taste like they're non vegan counterparts.. but Crust nails it every single time. From there cookie sandwiches with incredible frosting in between, or there pop tarts, or cakes, or there very savory bagel bombs, you absolutely cannot go wrong. And as of a few weeks ago they now have vegan soft serve! Oh, and they have waffle cones (and cake cones). It doesn't taste exactly like Dairy Ice cream, but it is so so close. I go at least once a week for cookies, but will certainly be going more with the promise of ice cream too! read more

My friend and I both enjoyed the baked goods at Crust Vegan Bakery. I tried the strawberry sammie and berry pop tart. The Sammie was tasty, I really love the texture of the sugar cookies, they were crisp and slightly soft in between the strawberry filling. The pop tart was good, the filling was flavorful and I enjoyed the presentation. It was topped with pink frosting and dried rose petals on top. My friend said the slice of lemon cake was good but I can't confirm because I didn't have a bite. The 3 baked goods totaled $18.63. read more

My friends and I were planning a surprise for another dear friend of ours and wanted to be inclusive in our food options. Enter Crust Vegan Bakery. We were hard-pressed to find bakeshops with gluten-free cakes downtown! Enter Crust Vegan Bakery. I placed an order online for the 6-inch gluten free chocolate mocha cake. The person who helped me showed me the cake, I had no qualms except for the fact that I had to wait to eat it. This cake survived a 3.5 hr drive to the Poconos. Partly because I forsook all my belongings to protect this cake. But mostly due to 4th of July traffic. My friends and I loved the cake! We rationed leftover cake for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Good Lord, we were fighting over the last piece. Needless to say, I'll be ordering more cake from this shop! You folks are doing great, thank you for making the delicious cake!! read more

I almost never post a review but because of my experience, I felt I needed to. I walked in for the first time and I was met with extreme attitude from the worker. I had a simple question regarding one of the items and the worker was so rude and demeaning. When my husband bought an item, she asked how much he would tip, and he said, "no thank you." She responded with a big eye roll and a sigh. I'm not sure if she was having a bad day? But you shouldn't be treating customers like that. Period. Ps. The cookie my husband bought tasted like an essential oil dog biscuit... read more

BEWARE FROZEN BAKERY possibly! What a unfortunate experience. Due to a miss communication error on the website. My fiancé thought he booked a taste tasting appointment. We showed up and the cake was already done. Mind you our party was 2 weeks out. The owner Meg had the audacity to say " freeze the cake" . She didn't offer any compensation to make things right . Not even a discount off a new cake. So just keep in mind if she recommended us to freeze our engagement party cake, I can only imagine the old frozen items she sells, possibly Any who we left the cake even though she already charged us 80$. The cake now is probably frozen and waiting to get sold ( you're welcome Meg). It wasn't about the money, clearly. Just poor customer Service. No offer to make it better . What's that famous line , you get a one star because I can't rate it ZERO!!!! read more

Awesome desserts! Love the pistachio scone at my local coffee shop, so I figured I had to make the pilgrimage to the original location out here in Manayunk to see the other offerings. The worker was not very friendly, but the scone, cheesecake and coffee cake we got were awesome. Everything tastes real and I could barely tell it was made with no milk or butter. read more

Prices are outrageous. Beyond reasonable. Came in tonight to get my BF a snack and he picked out a dessert cup, when I saw they had (frozen) loaves of Zucchini bread. I brought two up to check out, not thinking about price. I was pepared to pay something reasonable, around $10-12 a loaf. They were $24 each. For a regular sized loaf of zuchinni bread. Insane. The employees LITERALLY agreed with me that the price was outrageous. Both of them said it. One said "What I've been told is that the prices are high due to the cost of vegan ingredients." Which is patent nonsense. Vegan ingredients can be slightly more expensive, but this is just an insultingly high mark-up. Full stop. Even if each loaf cost $5 to make, which is highly unlikely, $24 is absurd beyond any sense of reason. The dessert cup alone was $10, by the way, but he was hungry so I just paid for it. It was a $5-6 dessert, but whatever. Just don't come here. It's that easy. Don't support businesses that are gouging their customers based on a specialty eating requirement/preference. I'll say it again. $24 for an average sized loaf of FROZEN, did I mention?, zuchinni bread is abolutely over the top insultingly outrageous. Full stop. read more

I drove 5 miles to this bakery for vegan cheese cake. Unfortunately, I was disappointed. One slice of strawberry cheese cake was $5.50, an amount I am gladly willing to pay for a delicious dessert but unfortunately, this tiny slice of cake did not live up to the price! The cake had a sweet strawberry jelly type glaze with "0" strawberries on top. Made from tofu, the "cheese cake" part of the dessert had no cheese taste at all. To say it was the texture of cheesecake is a stretch. The only comparable taste to cheese cake was the sweetness. (Maybe my palate has been spoiled by tasting cheesecake of a certain vegan bakery in Bethlehem.) On a brighter note, the brownie was delicious! read more

I come to get their vegan soft serve all the time and every time it's been DELICIOUS, so when I needed to pick up a cake on short notice I knew this place would be the place to go. Long story short, my friend dropped the ball and forgot to get a cake so I went and grabbed one of their premade Vanilla cakes and it looked beautiful! Since they have time requirements for piping stuff, I just popped over to acme after and got those little gel writing pens. I'm writing this 1 because they had cute cakes available last minute on a Saturday evening, and 2- because that was the BEST CAKE I've ever had. None of us were vegan, we just needed a cute cake, and when I tell you this was the most moist, perfectly sweet balanced cake I've ever eaten in my life, I'm not kidding. If you're ever in the area and you see this place, pop in and grab something because it's gonna be damn good. Thanks Crust for saving the day with the best cake ever! read more

The customer service was great and atmosphere was cute! The only thing is- the desserts were genuinely not good. I hate saying that! But they tasted really sour and dry. I got a cheese cake and sampled some ice cream. My friends got a variety of cookies. They also did not like theirs. I've been to many vegan bakeries and could not believe how strange these desserts tasted. read more

Suggested by a friend of mines and I'm so glad I gave this bakery a try! I don't live on this side of town so it's rare that I'm in the area but i happened to be this past weekend and was not disappointed with my visit at all. Do the treats taste vegan? I don't know how to answer that question--I'd say a little bit of yes and a little bit of not really lol. The crust on the pop tart pasty was to die for... better than regular pop tarts in my opinion. The crème pie was soft and tasted like Fall! But that blueberry lavender cheesecake is where I draw the line lol could've done without the lavender as it was way too overpowering but I'm still happy with my purchase nonetheless. My friend had the cheese danish... I literally wanted to throw my box away after trying that!! Lmao if you end up here please try the danish--Best vegan things I've ever had honestly... and taste just like the real thing! Thanks Crust; I will be back! read more

Good stuff! Their cupcakes are the best in the area, better than Nothing Bundt. They have poptarts which is cool. Their icecream is also pretty good. For vegan desserts, definitely the best in Philly hands down. Not a fan of their confetti cheesecake though. Tasted chalky, could have used more sugar. read more

They finally have a store front!! Delicious is an understatement. Crust Vegan Bakery has the best fresh pastries and baked goods. Back in May (4 months ago) we had an opportunity to try their cinnamon buns and cosmic brownies and ever since then we have been hooked. Last weekend when we heard they were opening a store front down the street from our house we marked off our calendars and counted down the days! Their new store front is in a perfect location near the heart of Main Street Manayunk. Currently no seating and yesterday they sold out of all baked goods during their soft opening so be sure to go early! My new personal favorite is the strawberry rhubarb pie! Light, not too sweet, absolutely amazing. Must try! read more

Poor customer service especially when they ask for a tip. Attitude, attitude, attitude!! I asked prior to buying the Vday treat box if i could have specific sayings and the girl Meagan specifically says in an email that i can swap out the cookies if i dont like the sayings. So I WLwent ahead and bought the treat box knowing this. Went to pick it up today and I didn't like the sayings on the cookies. They gave me the lamest ayings on purpose. Asked to swap out and they wouldn't validate the email. I gave them a second chance since I had an issue prior. Ill have to find another shop because I dont do liars or attitude. They be really trying me. Most bakeries will go above and beyond for their customers especially when they be asking for a tip and overcharge items. Poor service indeed! The girl needs some manners and lessons in hospitality before sometin happens. She might catch the wrong one. read more

Tried Crust for the first time last week! I thought the place was very cute. They have you order at the door and they bring you your order. All items are displayed in the front window. I got the pistachio rose cinnamon bun, the pb&j bar, the fudge pretzel bar, the slice of pumpkin bread, and a chocolate chip cookie! All of them were good--the fudge pretzel bar wasn't as sweet as I thought it would be but the pb&j bar was extremely sweet. My favorite was the pumpkin bread--very soft and flavorful. read more

Everything was delicious but I especially liked the savory poptarts which is funny because I have the biggest sweet tooth.

So good! Almost everything I've had here has been top notch! My favorites are the traditional ice cream sundae, the turtle sundae, the turtle cheesecake, and the sugar cookies. Everything is vegan. Great to-go baked goods, vegan soft serve, and more. Expensive but worth it! The only thing I haven't been crazy about is the peanut butter sundae--the peanut butter freezes and gets too hard to eat with the plastic spoon they give you. read more

Sooooo freakin gooooood. Went for the first time May 6th. Will be back a millions more times. The sheer number of options was amazing. We had to stop ourselves from ordering one of everything. Ended up with 4 pocket pastries, breakfast sandwich, bagel bite, monkey bread, pimento cheese log and some chocolates. Everything was delicious. But I would 100% get the breakfast sandwich, pastry pocket and monkey bread again. And try more things next time. Also. The staff was so friendly and funny and kind. Go!!! read more

I don't have any dietary restrictions, but I'm here to talk about the pop tarts. Drove 20+ minutes from South Philly for this place and it was 100% worth it because HOLY wow they are insane. I kid you not, the berry pop tart tasted EXACTLY like a Kellogg's strawberry pop tart. I don't know what kind of sorcery they use in this place to do that, but I am here for it. Will definitely be a must-stop every time I visit Philly from here on out! read more

Huge plexiglass at the front counter, only 3 customers allowed in at a time and you must wear a mask. We got the peanut butter chocolate pretzel brownie and 2 different kinds of chocolate chip cookie sandwiches. We took these home and all were mucho delicioso!
