"While not 100 percent vegan and gluten-free, Cake Monkey offers plenty of options for those who have specific dietary needs (if cross-contamination is a concern, reach out to the bakery before you order). Here, gluten-free and vegan diners can find cookie buttercream sandwiches; fruit, chocolate, and pecan pies; colorful mini layer cakes; flourless cakes; and seasonal holiday specials. The bakery also has another outpost in North Hollywood." - Nicole Adlman
