Best vegan dessert restaurants to try in Toronto

BY RACHEL MARY RILEY

Where are all my sweet tooth people at? Especially if you need a little sweetness in your tummy. Well, there’s some diverse dynamic vegan sweet dishes to try and I would recommend them. As always, I encourage folks and clients to enjoy treats that will be a benefit to you. Are you a sweet tooth person? Do you ever have a spike of interest in eating something to satisfy sweet tooth buds?

Sweets from the Earth

I have personally not gone to this vegan restaurant, however; I have tried their chocolate chip snacks and peanut butter cookies and their great fiber without feeling bloated or inflamed.

So, let’s investigate how it was discovered. In 1977a seven-year-old girl named Ilana made a horrifying discovery: the meat she was being served for dinner came from a real live adorable animal. It was the day before that her dad went out hunting and a rabbit was the unlucky victim. The thought of eating this beautiful creature was unbearable.

She declared herself a vegetarian and began learning to cook her way around her meat-eating family.

In 2002, Ilana moved back to Toronto to be closer to family and worked in a few traditional kitchens. She becomes vegan, and quickly discovers that there’s virtually nowhere to get vegan desserts in the city. She starts experimenting and baking vegan treats out of her apartment, approaching friends and family for feedback.

She goes to restaurants and stores with samples, and even leaves a box of samples at a local health food shop, despite being turned away. Ten minutes later, she gets a call from the reluctant owner to place an order, declaring, “They were yummy!”

Sweets from the Earth was born.

In 2003, Ilana moved into a house and turned the basement into a small commercial kitchen. The rest of the house gets taken over by the growing demand. She sells to local health food stores, restaurants, and cafes.

In 2005, Sweets from the Earth outgrows the basement and moves into a commercial space on Pacific Avenue, in Toronto’s Junction neighborhood. Ilana hires her first staff, and they begin making a full line of vegan baked goods under one roof (Sweets from the Earth, n.d.).

Sweets from the earth are proud to serve you their full line of original recipe, egg and dairy-free baked goods, which are made even more delectable by using only the best all natural, 100% plant-based, GMO-free ingredients.

Bonus: you don’t have to be vegan or have dietary restrictions to love these desserts – any old sweet tooth will do. They’re a healthier alternative to your run-of-the-mill baked goods, and you’ll never miss what’s missing from them! (Sweets From the Earth, n.d.)

Bloomers

Bloomers is one of the best vegan desserts that I would recommend if you needed to satisfy and quench your sweet taste buds. According to the owners of Bloomers, their donuts and baked goods are made with: unbleached flour, organic nondairy milk and organic cane sugar. They are dedicated to the use of certified organic and GMO-free products. While they strive to provide alternatives for people with allergies and sensitivities, please note that our bakery is not gluten, soy or nut free (Bloomers, n.d.).

Fresh Restaurant

Fresh is an overall popular restaurant that offers delightful vegan dishes. However, besides their main authentic dishes they offer a variety of vegan desserts that are comfortable and still delightful after the vegan main dish.
