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.

This is the best place to get vegan baked goods in the Twin Cities. We love their cupcakes, cakes, lemon loafs, cookies, and cheddar biscuits. I miss their uptown location where we could have broccoli cheese soup and pastrami sandwiches, but this is still great. Today I got a strawberry cupcake with a creme frosting and a strawberry filling and it was one of the best cupcakes I've ever had. I hope they make more of these kind of cupcakes in the future. The only problem we've had with this place is the hours. Recently, I wanted to order a vegan cake for a Tuesday event at my work, but they don't open until noon that day, so I had to get frozen cupcakes instead. Many times we've wanted a cake or cupcakes for a holiday or event and the hours haven't worked for us to pick it up so we end up going to Whole Foods or getting the item many days in advance and having to freeze them, which is never as good as fresh. I get they need a day off, but I still wish there was a way to pick up orders at more convenient days or hours.

I'm not vegan and I don't have any dietary restrictions. I bought my birthday cake here to accommodate dairy intolerant family. It was one of the best cakes I've ever had. Definitely better than most non-vegan cakes. I returned to buy cupcakes for a family gathering and the family members who normally say they aren't into sweets scarfed them down and proceeded to rave about them.

Partygoers were floored that these cupcakes were egg and dairy free, and some gluten free on top of that! Everyone had wonderful things to say. I had the cookie dough, and it did indeed taste just like a whipped scoop of cookie dough on top! Thanks Vegan East 💚

Cute lil bakery with amazing cupcakes, cinnamon rolls and desserts! I was visiting from Washington state and stopped in for some yummy treats! I’m so glad I did, Feel like they need to start promoting online orders to ship to people out of state😁 I would definitely be a buyer! The cupcakes were moist and had amazing flavor, but not too sweet. The peanut butter dessert we bought was out of this world good!!!! I was a bit sad that they were closed when I came up with the idea to go get more to take home before our vacation ended. I’ll be back for sure!

Vegan East is our go-to for event desserts and that was the case again for a recent wedding shower. We do a special order from their cupcakes-of-the-month selection to make sure all our vegan and gluten-free party-goers have yummy options (and always hear positive things). So happy to have Vegan East in the neighborhood!

The cake had no discernible flavor. Given that cupcakes and doughnuts can be successfully made vegan and remain delicious, it is disappointing that my birthday cake did not measure up in terms of flavor!

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!
