Cute little store in a nice neighborhood. The cakes and treats were cute, but taste even better than they look! We went to grab my daughter a birthday cake, and the one she picked was gluten free. The girl behind the counter warned us that it would be "gritty" because of the gluten free flour, but that wasn't the case at all. It was pricy ($70 for an 8" cake) but delicious!

Vegan East is one of those places that makes you forget you’re even eating vegan. Everything tastes indulgent in the best way, like full-on bakery magic with zero compromise. The cupcakes are fluffy, the frosting is rich without being overly sweet, and there’s always something fun in the case that makes it impossible to order just one thing. The vibe is cute and cozy, and you can tell they genuinely care about what they’re making. Whether you’re dairy free or just in it for a good dessert, this spot absolutely delivers. The cupcakes were perfect… right up until I tripped walking to my car lol. Totally worth it though.

I got the lemon cake and brownies for my birthday. The brownies were not good at all to me, kinda dry. 3 other people didn't like them either. The lemon cake was really good, and the frosting/filling was very good and tasted like cream cheese. There was tons of frosting, and it looked beautiful! Everyone loved the cake!

We just had a birthday cake for my son (who can’t have eggs or dairy due to FPIES) at his birthday party. It was SO tasty!!! Everyone kept exclaiming that they couldn’t believe it was vegan. I am so appreciative that Vegan East made this amazing dessert- he’s starting to figure out when he doesn’t get the same food as everyone else and gets sad. This cake made him feel included and special all at the same time. Ordering was easy, and it was ready right when I ordered It for!

This tiny shop brings more joy to me than every other bakery I've ever been to! The cupcakes, brownies, and "cheddar" and chive biscuits are so damn delicious! I want to go here every week! As someone who is lactose intolerant, Vegan East is a gift from God!

Vegan East makes some of the best cakes in the twin cities! They're not just 'good vegan cakes' - they're all around amazing cakes. I wouldn't even know, really.

I ordered a cake for my son’s 20th birthday. First time ordering and first time trying vegan carrot cake. Carrot cake is one of my favorites. This vegan cake didn’t disappoint it’s very tasty. We really love the cream cheese frosting.

While finishing the pack of 4 cupcakes I noticed a long black hair in the cupcake. This was beyond disgusting! Very disappointed with the food safety of this place.

Such a cute place! Super convenient spot with off street parking. I was able to get in and out pretty quickly, so that's super nice. It was my first time visiting this place...and seeing "vegan" I was put off a little bit. I didn't really know what to expect, but for sure, my expectations were blown away! They had a lot of nice variety of cupcakes and my favorite was their peach one. Forgot the name of it though...super moist and not too sweet. I also got their brownies...and that was really good too. I'm super picky, so me finding this place wonderful, it's REALLY good.

I am making this review in response to a recent review accusing Vegan East of having dairy in its desserts. I have a severe milk allergy and have been getting desserts from various Vegan East locations for over three years. I never once have had a problem with their desserts. Their desserts are freshly made and incredibly delicious. As a loyal customer with a severe dairy allergy, I can say that you can confidently eat here if you have a dairy allergy. I love Vegan East and am so grateful for their production of amazing vegan desserts that I felt compelled to defend them with my positive experiences. Please do not hesitate to give them a try if you haven't yet!
