"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. photo credit: Nicole Guglielmo photo credit: NICOLE GUGLIELMO photo credit: NICOLE GUGLIELMO photo credit: Crust Vegan Bakery Pause Unmute" - Candis R.

"In this town, we may think the end all, be all of ice cream creativity is rooted in twists, dips, or sprinkles (possibly jimmies, depending on where you’re from). But at Manayunk’s Crust Vegan Bakery, they have soft serve in flavors like Thai tea ice cream, and you can put it in coconut, dark chocolate, and French vanilla waffle cones. They also have ice cream sandwiches, and if you want to really get wild, you can still make it a twist or top it with rainbow sprinkles in the end." - candis mclean
