Split Bakehouse has a hybrid menu of vegan and non-vegan baked goods. Lately, they have largely been vegan though! They don't possess a brick-and-mortar so you'll need to track down their treats at one of the many coffee shops they have accounts with all across San Diego, OR order delivery with them through their website. For delivery, there is an order minimum of $30 and they only deliver on Monday's and Friday's (local SD-only).
I usually find their treats at coffee shops especially at Jaunt Coffee Roasters in Miramar/ Mira Mesa. It is through Jaunt that I discovered Split. I'm especially in LOVE with their vegan donuts and lemon berry scones. Friday's have hereby been deemed Donut Friday's at Jaunt and I couldn't be more excited for this new regular schedule! Their donuts have definitely increased in size over time and their flavor offerings have turned up a notch. Sometimes, they don't exactly taste like the said flavor (e.g. Ube Coconut Donut), BUT these donuts are always so moist, soft, and fluffy! And because they are more airy on the inside, they are not as filling as your traditional cake donut. My other favorite item, the scones, are a joy, as well, with their somewhat biscuit, crumby exterior and soft, moist inside.
I've ordered delivery once through them and was thrilled with my order! It included a GIANT 6 piece vegan herb focaccia bread and two *Ube Brioche Bread Loaves* ($9/ loaf). The focaccia bread lasted me weeks. I had not realized just how big 6 4x4-inch squares would be. It was also thick, so while it was perfect for sandwiches, just cutting one in half and placing toppings over it was the perfect breakfast. The ube brioche possessed a beautiful purple swirl, was so moist and almost milky. I had two of these loaves and devoured them with zeal. Unfortunately, this was a limited seasonal item, so I am sad that is gone (for now).
Split has a ton of outstanding, high-quality pastries, so I may have mentioned a few, but you are sure to enjoy anything you try! I'm not strictly vegan, but their pastries are just that amazing. I honestly don't even know I'm eating vegan most of the time.
