I ordered a vegan birthday cake for me and my roommate's birthday (we share the same bday!) and wanted everyone to feel included at our party (I have a few vegan friends). I myself am not vegan so was hesitant about the cake but tried red velvet cupcake samples at the Englewood location and they were good-- couldn't even tell they were vegan (which works well for me because I don't eat dairy anymore). If you want a vegan cake that's delicious, this is the place to get it from. The downside is the cakes were pretty pricey with all of the options we added on like the banana choc chip flavor, candles, etc, but I'm glad I experimented and got the flavor I wanted. The ordering process was pretty straightforward- my only complaint is that the person who sent me the invoice didn't explain why there was an extra 7$ added, but I was grateful they picked up my order. Also, they were very accommodating to turn the vanilla frosting burgundy as I requested! I do wish that they added more glitter to the top though and all over the cake (like I asked for). It's not an extravagant looking cake but it got the job done and pretty decadent for a vegan cake. I added the fresh cherries. Also I picked up the cake Friday and it's Tuesday now and the cake is becoming a little dry. But I'm assuming that's expected as fresh cakes don't last long in the fridge. I also got 4 gluten free cupcakes and even though I'm not a fan of the consistency (it was chewy almost like corn tasting), my friend that was GF appreciated them! read more

Love that all their GF stuff is on the top shelf. I got a mixed berry donut which was super moist and flavorful and a cookie dough brownie. Honestly the brownie underneath was my favorite part and they probably do plain brownies very well. Portions and prices are good too. read more

I am not a vegan. Not even close. Honestly, I probably never will be. BUT, I am open-minded and love to try new things. I visited the Vegan Pastry Lab for the first time and I was impressed! The business is on the corner of an industrial area in Englewood, away from the downtown noise and traffic. There's free parking on the left side of the street. The store itself is small, but offers a lot of goodies. It doubles as a bakery and mini market. There isn't any indoor seating - they only have a small bench outside. Everything (and I mean everything) is plant-based and vegan. Their kitchen is also certified kosher. They have all of your favorite pastries like donuts, cinnamon rolls, cookies, muffins, brownies, and cupcakes. Many of them are gluten-free. They also have oven-baked sandwiches, fresh fruit smoothies, and hot drinks (espresso, tea, hot chocolate, etc.). The mini market has a variety of vegan snacks and products like cheese, "meat" slices, chocolate, candles, nuts, chips, supplements, and dog treats. I was overwhelmed by all of the options, but the employee was very patient, welcoming, and answered all of my questions. I ended up trying the... *#4 Sandwich with sausage, hash brown, egg, and cheddar on a pretzel bun ($13) *#5 Sandwich with chikkin cutlet, cheddar, BBQ aioli, pickles, and onion crisps on a pretzel bun ($14) *Salted Chocolate Chip Cookie (~$6) Based on taste alone, I never would have guessed any of these were vegan. They tasted almost identical to their dairy and meat counterparts. The cookie was the star of the show! It was a nice balance of sweet, buttery, and salty. The texture was soft and chewy. The chocolate chips had a rich flavor and melted in my mouth. As for the sandwiches... they were so small for the price. Bigger than a slider, but smaller than a standard burger. The #4 was nothing special. It was dry and bland. The McMuffin from McDonald's is a hundred times tastier. The #5 was the better one out of the two. This was a good choice for a savory sandwich. The vegan cutlet was tender and similar in taste and texture to actual chicken. The onion crisps, pickles, and BBQ aioli sauce elevated the overall flavor. I would definitely come back to try more pastries, but I would skip the sandwiches. I don't think they're worth the price for such a small size. Vegan or not, I'm sure you won't regret giving this spot a shot! read more

I was very excited to try this place out. Since I have an allergy to dairy and a huge sweet tooth, vegan bakeries are always enticing for me to go to so I HAD to see what was up. The chocolate cupcake had a good blend of savory from the cake and sweet from the icing. The chocolate did a good job of balancing out the sweetness from the icing. The donut was AMAZING. I don't like cake donuts so I'm thankful this was your typical fried dough donut. Absolutely delicious. I love pistachio so I had to try the croissant and it didn't disappoint. Not overly nutty but just right. The breakfast sandwich was dry and nothing special. I do think the sandwich needs to be jazzed up. It's nothing to prepare this at home BUT add something special. Like actual sauce to the sandwich and maybe season the eggs and butter the bread. Just a piece of advice but overall i'd come again. read more

I am not a vegan. I am not a vegetarian. Until now I have refused to eat vegan desserts thinking why would I eat THAT when I can eat real dessert. And then I got conned. Yes they out these out and cut them up and didn't say where they were from, ate I several of them. Clever that they cut them small to encourage that. After I raved about five of the things I sampled and was taking my taste of the sixth they broke the news to me. I was shocked. I really was. Every thing I sampled was amazing. The peanut butter and jelly one was out of this world. The brownies were so moist and fudgy. I don't know how they make these vegan items taste exactly like regular items with eggs and butter and cream. But they taste better than half the bakery items I get around me. I would choose these over those any day. Meaning I will gladly make this my go to bakery. I wish I had tried these sooner. I was so pleasantly surprised. read more

It's been a long time since I had a five star experience. Can I give this place six? This is an unassuming little spot on the corner in a mostly industrial area. It has an amazing mix of vegan snacks, vegan meats and cheeses, vegan soft serve, and the star of the show -vegan pastries. Ok actually, the vegan soft serve is out of this world so maybe it's a co-star. I stopped on my way to Boston and on the way back to Baltimore. Well worth both stops and I'm so sad I don't live closer. I tried the aforementioned soft serve, the salted chocolate chip cookies (GF also), the peanut butter jam bar, the regular vegan chocolate chip, a donut and the cinnamon roll. All were epic. Like hands down everything was perfection. If you are gluten free, the gluten free cookie was amazing and not crumbly. It was soft. It's also as big as your head. The staff person was beyond outstanding. She was so nice, patient, and helpful. She was also extremely knowledgeable about everything in the shop. She made me feel so welcome. Prices were great, the shop was super clean and well stocked. There was plenty of street parking. Go now. Go often. You will thank me. read more

I'm not vegan (don't you all jump on me), but my purchases were solid. Customer service was 10/10. Vanilla ice cream had a weird taste - but maybe I'm just not used to it Banana pudding was good The muffins were for a friend so idk read more

Deserts were good and service was good. Ambience is great. Will return and try other things.

Found this place while searching for vegan cakes. I ordered a customized cake for my Fiancé birthday. I ordered some 6 inch carrot cake with cream cheese filling with glitter and coconut flakes. I think I paid around $60 and tip. The cake turned out so cute and so delicious. Would def order here again. Their response time was great within 24 hours. When we picked up they had a mini store and sells different kinds of pastries. We picked up more desserts and even some vegan treats for our pup. Will definitely come back for more read more

I love this place! I never remember to take pictures but, here's a few from my most recent visit. I had a slice of quiche that was amazing, and the biscoff cheesecake, but this time I primarily visited to pick up some fancy plant based cheeses for a charcuterie board. I love that they carry bandit and rebel products. Everyone that works here is a delight and I like to visit anytime I can. read more

This place is right down the street from balthazars bakery so I give them a extra 1/2 star for just the location if I could give half stars. If you had a special mom, aunt gammy that could bake. This will be a place that takes you back to childhood. The way the place is decorated makes you feel good and the people are so kind. I don't think just anyone can work here, you have to be above human it's so sweet and good. As for the bakery delites , the salted cookie 5 stars, the cookie dough cheese cake 4 stars, the peanut butter gooey thing a ma jig I say 5 it took me back to childhood. I love this place they even have food for the doggies. Did I say I love this place. read more

Lots of interesting things Cute place with lots of plants :) you can buy the plants if you want! Brownie- dark and so yummy Berry scone and carrot raisin scone- didn't like the texture. Thought the carrot was better than the berry Guava cheesecake- reminded me more of icing and less cheesecake Cornflake cookie- good. Second favorite Cinnamon roll- my sisters second favorite but I didn't like it as much I really wanted to love the desserts from here cus there's a vegan donut place in LA that my sister and I love. We def expected too much and was disappointed for the most part. They do have some interesting drinks and stuff so I might try it again later but would not go out of my way since I'm not vegan read more

Vegan Pastry Lab opened earlier this year, and everything we tried on a recent visit, both sweet and savory, was incredible. I feel like we would be here all the time if we lived closer, because the food is great and the people are so friendly and helpful. I intended to get a few savory items and a couple of donuts, but everything looked (and for the samples they had out, tasted) so good that I ended up walking out with a picadillo empanada, a cream cheese bagel bomb, two donuts (hibiscus and strawberry glazed), a cookies and cream cupcake, a unicorn blondie, and a brownie. It took a lot of self-restraint to not get even more. My favorite of the sweets was the unicorn blondie topped with sprinkles and white chocolate chips, but the donuts were a close second. The picadillo empanada (seitan) was delicious, and if they have any empanadas when you visit, I highly recommend them. Generally, everything we had was fantastic, and for any vegan food skeptics, you really can't tell the difference for the most part between what they offer and non-vegan versions. The only exception for me would be the cream cheese in the bagel bomb, since I think cheese is really difficult to exactly replicate in vegan form, but the bagel bomb was still good as it was. Looking forward to trying more on our next visit! read more

My toddler has both an egg and dairy allergy so finding Vegan Pastry Lab was such a blessing! Not only have we dropped by to pick up baked goods, but we've ordered cupcakes and cakes from them. Everything tastes amazing, you couldn't even tell it was vegan. All the cakes are rich and flavorful. And every time we've ordered online they've been so prompt and kind in their responses. We're so lucky to have them in the neighborhood! Even if you don't have dietary restrictions you can't go wrong with this bakery. Highly recommend stopping by to try what they have. read more

Just so freaking good. Everything I ate was wonderful and the service was delightful. Wish I lived closer so I could get everything on the menu. 10/10 would recommend. read more

10/10! FINALLY made a trip on a Saturday afternoon and wow was it an experience! It's a small space, but organized so well. There are shelves of snacks, candies, merch, candles and more! Along with trays of cakes, cookies and brownies. You can also order breakfast sandwiches. I ordered the #4 which is a sausage, egg and cheese with a hashbrown in between a croissant. Highly suggest it! My sister and I were greeted by Jenn who is the sweetest! She gave us the rundown on everything in the store so of course I purchased a handful! The basil + amber candle is divine, I also loved the amor rollerball oil. For treats, we ordered the banana pudding (most popular), salted caramel cheesecake, hostess cupcake and jet black brownie. ALLLLL so good! It was cool to see regulars popping in and suggesting things for us to buy as well. After willingly spending an hour here, we left excited that this place exists and ready to devour our food. Keep doing your thing Vegan Pastry Lab! read more

Ordered a last minute cake for my daughter who turned 17 and is vegan. Although cakes have to be ordered 3 days in advance they fulfilled my order (I called 1 day prior). The cake was DELICIOUS!!!! I took the suggestion from someone else in a review and ordered the carrot cake with cheesecake filling and coconut flakes. It was so good. My family isn't vegan, just my daughter and we ALL enjoyed the cake. We also got some banana pudding and a passion fruit donut. Everything was so good. We also purchased a cheese (Brie type) can't wait to try it! Ohh and customer service when I picked up the cake? 10 out of 10!! read more

I really loved this place. The sell some Clothes, candles, gummies and food products. You can also grab a bite to eat. I ordered the #5 sandwich and the s'mores brownie, both were delicious! The service was great, the person at the cash register was never knowledgeable about all their products. The only downside is that there's no place to sit and eat. They do have a small bench right outside of the cafe. My friend and I took our food to a near by park. I would def go back again! read more

I love this place. I'm a recent converter and have been here before but now appreciate this spot even more. Pastries are seriously amazing. They also make breakfast sandwiches that are delicious.

I needed to find some vegan cake , or cupcake for my daughter since my local shop is closed on Sundays I went and search Yelp and the Lab came up. Well after driving a few miles I walk into this place which you can easterly mistaken for a tropical plant shop which they tell me are also for sale. I and asked them about the gluten free options and they showed me that they have like a dozen or so cakes, pies, cookies and brownies to pick from in addition to at least two dozen reqular vegan items. I got Carrot Cupcakes, Scones, and 2 Walnut Brownies, even if I am not vegan I need to try something out so I can do a review. Well you never know Walnut Brownie was vegan gluten free from the taste, I kelp on taking small chunks of it until it was gone, so I have to say this place is good. My only negative complaint was I hate it that when I spend $30 or $40 at a bakery and toss everything into a paper bag instead of a box. read more

This was my first visit to the Vegan Pastry Lab. I went to inquire about a birthday cake and decided to try a red velvet vegan cupcake. I was thoroughly impressed, the taste for both the cupcake & the frosting was extremely flavorful & exceeded my expectation. I thought it would taste like cardboard, but was pleasantly surprised that it didn't. I will definitely revisit Vegan Pastry Lab in the future to try their food options. In Addition to great taste the customer service was equally good. This was a great find. Try and judge for yourself. read more

Since I discovered this place while passing by it I had to give it a try. Anything vegan I will try. When I arrived I parked on the street on the side. I walked into a cute little shop. The lady was busy when I walked in but the man came out so friendly and welcoming. So I had a couple of questions about the pastries and ended up getting the s'more cookie and the lemon cupcake. It came to $8. When I got in I tasted the pastries and they were very good. Both had great flavor and I loved both items. I will definitely return to try more. read more

This place has to be one of the top vegan places that my mother and I have had the pleasure of visiting. This little hidden gem is always clean, well maintained, wonderful atmosphere, and always serving the freshest options. If you love donuts but have a hard time finding vegan ones that taste like the regular kind this place is for you! The donuts were described as "like Dunkin' Donuts donuts" and honestly, in my opinion, I think they're 10x better. The breakfast is a must try, it's delicious, freshly made, and extremely filling. As for service, I haven't had the chance to find out there names but the two guys that run the front and cook are adorable, and always have the best conversation to help pass the time while you wait for your food to be finished. Plus, don't wanna wait? They will literally walk it out to your car for you. I absolutely love this place and encourage everyone to come here, I promise you it is 100% worth the drive. read more
