The Best Bakeries In Philadelphia

"Crust's vegan pastries, some of which are gluten-free, taste like they never needed butter and dairy. The Manayunk spot has classics like apple cider donuts, peanut butter cookies, and cinnamon rolls. But you’ll also find creative stuff like funfetti cheesecakes, sweet potato pop tarts with toasted marshmallows on top, and slices of fluffy vanilla lavender cake. The options are a little expensive—desserts here average around $8-$10 and bread is around $20. But if you need good vegan sweets in this city, the prices feel warranted." - candis mclean, alison kessler
