10 Incredible All-Vegan Bakeries Around Los Angeles

Los Angeles is a great place to be a vegan, but it can still be annoying to choose from a limited vegan menu when you’ve already laid eyes on the mouthwatering non-vegan options. These bakeries are all vegan all the time, so your eyes and your mouth can stay on the same sweet page.

The Moody Vegan

• Location: East Hollywood
• Try: Blueberry coffee cake
• In addition to an excellent selection of delicious baked goods, this cafe offers breakfast, lunch, coffee/tea, shakes, and smoothies! We hear their breakfast burrito is the best vegan one in town.

Chaumont Vegan

• Location: Beverly Hills & Santa Monica
• Try: Chocolate almond croissant
• When visiting this upscale French bakery (we know it's upscale because it uses words like viennoiserie, which we had to Google), it’s imperative that you order at least one croissant. From pistachio to ube to matcha to “egg” and “cheese,” there’s one to suit every mood. Oh lá lá!

Donut Friend

• Location: Highland Park & DTLA
• Try: Polar Berry Club donut
• The brainchild of musician Mark Trombino, you may notice the donuts are named after bands. That’s just the berry on top at this all-vegan dessert shop, which offers delicious can’t-tell-they’re-vegan donuts, ice cream, and coffee.

Toluca Bakery and Cafe

• Location: Toluca Lake
• Try: Tres leches cake
• Mexican delights abound at this neighborhood bakery. Think conchas, flan, tamales and empanadas! You’d never notice it driving by, but ask any of its 10k fans, and they’ll tell you it’s a destination in its own right.

Yvonne’s Vegan Kitchen

• Location: Pasadena
• Try: Confetti cake
• You may recognize the brand name from shops like Erewhon, Mother’s Market, or Yoga-urt, but Yvonne also has a flagship store of its own sharing its vegan and gluten-free baked sweets direct from the source. 

Baker’s Bench

• Location: Chinatown
• Try: Furikake croissant
• After a brief hiatus during the transition from kiosk to brick and mortar, the highly anticipated storefront is now open! This bakery’s mission is to make the best croissant (vegan or otherwise) in LA, and who are we to deny ourselves a taste?

Doomie’s

• Location: Fairfax
• Try: Deep fried oreos
• Look beyond (or eat your way past) the taquitos, fried “chicken,” and burgers to get to the sweet stuff. We’re talkin’ cakes of all flavors - chocolate, carrot, peanut butter, biscoff, and more! And if you’re feeling really crazy, grab a churro cookie or milkshake to go along with your slice.

Just What I Kneaded

• Location: Frogtown
• Try: Tomato basil galette
• Beyond the pastry case filled with treats like poptarts, cookies, cakes, and cinnamon rolls, this cafe offers hearty vegan breakfast burritos and sandwiches in a beautiful casual setting.

Cake Girl

• Location: Boyle Heights
• Try: Cinnamon crumb cake
• Everything is free (gluten, wheat, egg, dairy, soy, nut) except the price, which is reasonable, at this small counter spot inside St. Louis Drug Company. Customers rave about the cupcakes and custom cakes, but you’ll also find donuts, cookies, brownies, and more.

Cinnaholic

• Location: Echo Park & Long Beach
• Try: Custom cinnamon roll
• Although the brand has grown to a shocking 100+ locations, this vegan cinnamon roll success story started in Berkeley, California. The best part? It’s a build-your-own roll situation, so choose your frosting flavor and toppings to create your perfect sweet treat.
