Top 5 Vegan Dessert Spots in Toronto

Just because something doesn’t contain animal products, doesn’t mean it can’t be delicious!

The establishments mentioned on this list pass the vegan and deliciousness test. They are so good, even those who aren’t plant based would enjoy them.

Here is my list of the perfect places that will be a safe bet for your lifestyle, and your socializing!

gluten free restaurants (toronto)

Celiac safe restaurants (toronto)

tsuchi cafÉ

I admit I am perhaps a bit too obsessed with Tsuchi Café.

This Japanese plant-based bakery and café fooled two of my friends, who honestly thought they used cream or butter in their baked goods. Not true! Tsuchi’s team has just mastered vegan baking. Case in point: their tarts (which are also somehow gluten free?) are decadent, rich, and have multiple textured layers.

There are sandwiches, cookies, jarred desserts, brownies, karepan, and soups. Everything is vegan, and everything is delicious.

My only complaint about Tsuchi is that they don’t have any dine-in cutlery or plates (despite offering dine-in seating). While the plates and cutlery are recyclable, I hope this is an oversight they soon rectify.

Overall, this is a personal plant-based favourite of mine, so definitely check it out!

bunners bakeshop

If you’re vegan and gluten-free, then you better have Bunner’s on your radar.

This entirely vegan and celiac friendly bakeshop makes some of the b best sweet treats in the city. I have no idea how it’s so good, to be honest. This place makes me believe in witchcraft.

Holiday or birthday coming up? They make fabulous cakes, and seasonal treats. Amazing!

Favourite Dessert: Josephine Louise

HONEY’S PREMIUM PLANT BASED ICE CREAM

Craving ice-cream? That tastes like ice cream? Without the cream?

Honey’s. You go to Honey’s Ice Cream.

This place is pure magic and parlour tricks. I have no idea how it tastes so darn good. But it does, and it’s vegan, and you have three flavours to look forward to each month. I go far too often, and I also buy too many pints.

Just try it - even non-vegans love it. Trust.

bloomers

I bloomin’ love Bloomers!

If you’re looking for a vegan donut, there really isn’t a better place in Toronto than here. Despite containing no animal-based ingredients, these donuts are fluffy, decadent, and deeply satisfying. They even have some gluten free donuts just to accommodate those with alternative diets.

Bloomer’s provide a regular range of donuts, and also have rotating seasonal flavours. If donuts aren’t your thing, there are cookies, cakes, and other baked goods that are sure to tempt you!

Favourite Dessert: Chocolate Donut

Location:
715 Queen St W
873 Bloor St W
Bayview Village (Food Court)

the roasted nut

The Roasted Nut, just a few steps away from Trinity Bellwoods, is an establishment I frequent often in the spring and summer.

Full Disclaimer: I’m not a big fan of nuts, but their particular nut mixes are absolutely delicious. They also have cashew and nut-based frozen desserts (ice cream-esque), banana bread, carrot cakes, ‘cheesecakes’, and stuffed medjool dates.

If you’re looking for a sweet or savoury fix that’s on the healthier side, this is the perfect place to go. I genuinely adore their ‘ice cream’, and it pairs beautifully with some stuffed dates and nuts. Try one of everything, but be warned, there’s lots of protein so you will be full.

Favourite Dessert: 6ix Mix and Stuffed Dates

Location:
768 Queen St W
