A sweet treat is the perfect way to cap off a long weekend of fun.
Sweet vegan treats from a fun vegan bakery make it a little more special.
Shared with a baked-goods loving friend, of course!
Last night, Lauren and I visited Wildflour Vegan Bakery and Juice Bar for the first time. It opened up right next door to my favorite vegetarian restaurant. How convenient! I was dying to try it out.
Upon walking in, we were greeted by cases of decadent desserts and coolers of vibrant, fresh-squeezed juices. How could we choose just one? We couldn’t! We decided to share two lovely little treats.
The first dessert – the candy bar cupcake.
It had a brown sugar cake base with a chocolate-peanut butter frosting and candied peanuts. I was the first to take a bite. I tried to get a good a ratio of cake and frosting on my fork. I hate to say it, but this didn’t top my favorite cupcake. It had good flavor and the frosting was amazing, but the cake was a bit dry…too dry for my taste. I took more bites, but the ratio of cake to frosting definitely tipped more towards the yummy frosting.
Time for dessert number two – the pecan cinnamon roll.
This dessert reminded me of my gram. It was big and doughy, just like the cinnamon rolls we had for breakfast at her house when I was a little girl.
Of the two, this was my favorite dessert. It had plenty of sweetness to go around – candied pecans, a sugary glaze, and a delicious cinnamon filling. I definitely enjoyed each tasty bite in between non-stop chatter.
And lucky for me, Wildflour had the perfect juice to wash down dessert.
Beetox! This juice was a combination of beet, carrot, apple, ginger, and lemon. It tasted very, shall I say, earthy? Quite healthy, but I’m pretty sure I’ll stick to coffee with dessert. I have not yet acquired the taste for this…although, Lauren’s juice looked very yummy. Maybe I’ll order a Big C next time.
At 9 PM, Wildflour closes. I would know. I was still jammering away when the friendly waitress came to remind me. All in all, a great night. We shall return!
Do enjoy visiting new restaurants/establishments? I’ll be honest, I get overly excited about any new spot that opens up ’round here. We have too many chain restaurants nearby, so a cute, local place always draws me in.
