IMO, there are 2 kinds of vegans in this world - the kind who basically eats the animal-free equivalent of the Standard American Diet. They don't want to hurt the animals, but they also don't really want to change the way they eat. If this is you, you'll love Reverie! There are myriad assortments of flavorful sweet and savory items, and I guarantee you won't be able to get just 1 thing. The freedom and safety of having all the options they provide is exhilarating, and much of it tastes very good.
The other kind is a person like me who has suffered with chronic disease and is trying to clean-up their diet to eliminate allergens, toxins, inflammatory foods, and other chemical ingredients. We enjoy a treat now and then but are always hoping the proprietor shares the same food philosophy and chooses to use clean (even better... organic) ingredients with an attention to reducing sugar and processed foods to the greatest extent possible without sacrificing taste. This place is NOT that. The overuse of sugar in everything to compensate for the lack of animal products and in some cases gluten, is evident.
I ordered a lemon meringue cake, for $8, and it literally tasted like cool whip with a fake lemon flavor. I threw half away. I also ordered 2 gf cookies for my kids, and when I opened my bag at school pick-up, I saw they had given me two cookie sandwiches, so double the aforementioned sugar.
Needless to say, I've learned my lesson and will no longer be a returning customer. The temptation will be there, but I can always prepare cleaner, organic, more nutrient dense things easily in my own kitchen.
