New York City has amazing vegan bakeries to offer, so I set out to try the some of the best and report back on my findings. This trip included Tu-Lu's Gluten Free Bakery, Erin McKenna's Baby Cakes, Blossom Bakery, Tatz Gourmet Sweetz and Peacefood Cafe.
Tu-Lu's Gluten Free Bakery
Vegan Chocolate Chip Banana Muffin, Vegan Agave Brownie
Tu-Lu's often gets high praise for being one of the best gluten free bakeries in the city, but they offer many vegan treats as well. I tried the "Vegan Chocolate Chip Banana Muffin" and "Vegan Agave Brownie", and although both were quite good, the muffin was the best muffin I've ever had -- no joke.

Erin McKenna's Baby Cakes
Chocolate Chip Cookie Sandwich, Thin Mint
I have to say I was skeptical about Erin McKenna's because they are an 'everything free' bakery: refined sugar free, gluten free, wheat free, soy free, dairy free, egg free, vegan and kosher (quite a mouthful). And all that being said, this was absolutely my favorite stop of the day. The bakery has the most amazing smell when you first walk in, and the display case is full of an overwhelming number of options. The true standouts for me were the "Chocolate Chip Cookie Sandwich with Vanilla Filling" and the "Thin Mint" (I am craving them now as I type).

Blossom Bakery
Betterfinger Bar
They have a homemade vegan and gluten-free "Betterfinger Bar" that truly is better than the original. Need I say more? I will definitely go back and try their homemade "Peppermint Patties" at a later date. Yum!

Tatz Gourmet Sweetz
Vegan Cinnamon Donut
Tatz specializes in gluten free baked goods, but they also have options that are vegan and dairy free. I particularly enjoyed the "Vegan Cinnamon Donut". As a bonus, I loved the subtle elephant theme in their décor.

Peacefood Cafe
Chocolate Cake, Raspberry Crumb Bar
As mentioned in my Top 5 NYC Delivery Eateries post, I am no stranger to Peacefood Cafe and I really enjoy their many savory options. They also have an amazing case of vegan baked goods (that I am usually too full to dive into). Particular favorites include the "Chocolate Ganache Cake" and "Chocolate-Dipped Macaroon". My boyfriend is in love with the "Raspberry Jam Spelt Crumb Bar".
