Vegan Treats front door So, as many of you know I took my usual trip Back East this July (2014). Aside from all of the wonderful time spent visiting family and friends, the kids and I also look very forward to some of the amazing meals that will take place! And what is an amazing meal without a decadent dessert?!
I know, by this time you are probably thinking "Boy, this girl has got one heck of a sweet tooth!" And perhaps I do! ;)
So now pull up a seat, sit back, and take part in one of our favorite stops for some treats...Vegan Treats that is!

Don't let the term "Vegan" have you fooled. We're not talking about the sawdust nastiness that you might have tasted from a vegan newbie. We're talking about Vegan Foodgasms! Straight from the mouth of this freakin picky ass FOODIE right here!
So you better believe that when I say something is good, it's gonna be DAMN good!

Vegan Treats = Vegan Dessert Heaven!
We decided that for our last weekend on the East Coast, that we would spend a few days sightseeing and eating in the City of Brotherly Love - Philadelphia. It had been a good 7 years since our last true visit to Philly. As we do tend to take our lunch stops here during a number of our road trips. But anyhow, I'm totally off subject because the place I'm talking about is in the sleepy little town of Bethlehem, Pennsylvania; about an hour and a half (drive) from Philly.
Even though we had hit the road fairly early this morning, we had a few other stops to make before heading this way. This particular visit, had us arriving just prior to their 10am opening. The kids were asleep for the drive and we still hadn't even had breakfast yet. The excitement built as the clock ticked closer to 10am. Finally we enter, and we are immediately in dessert heaven! Floating on cloud 9, Cosette is totally overwhelmed. I'm pretty sure that she wanted one of everything!
Not a bad idea...I think she takes after me!!
Almost bouncing out of our skin like a kid in a candy store, we composed ourselves (as much as possible) and asked a million questions to the girl who was behind working the counter. Tell us all about these amazing treats that are sitting in the bakery case right before our eyes. With a smile she politely gave us detailed explanations about each of the very many cakes, including their most popular Peanut Butter Bomb!
Between the french pastries, the pies, petit fours, the buns, the cupcakes, the cheesecakes, whoopee pies, doughnuts, the cookies, the cakes, the brownies, cannolis, and the soft serve, this place has got you covered. They even have a special shelf dedicated to gluten-free diets! And if you happen to be in need of a wedding cake... they do that too!

Muffins, Doughnuts, and Danishes! Oh my!
The cross between a pretzel and a doughnut! Super!
Dessert for breakfast!

A yummy Jelly Doughnut!

Too excited! If I have anything to say that isn't completely positive, it's that I've never seen labels in this bakery. I really wish they would have little placards in front of each goody, labeling what the item is. This would be a big help, especially for people like us who are standing there (drooling) deciding what it is that we want to order and are about to indulge in. Having to ask and have the employee repeat themselves over and over is kind of ridiculous! I'm sorry, there is just too much good stuff to remember!
4 boxes and soft serve. "No I didn't! YES I did!"
Vegan Treats is hands down the BEST vegan bakery to be found anywhere! I'm a Travelin Cousin and I search these things out on all of my travels - take my word for it! I'm willing to drive at least 3hrs round trip just to walk through their doors!
And for those who just won't do the trip, there is an option for you. Vegan Treats supplies a great number of restaurants and stores for your convenience (albeit it won't be as fresh, and you won't get the soft serve!) The list is very long, click here to find a location near you!
