Eating Out: Farine Bakery

This is kind of an eating out/eating in... in that it is a bakery I go to, but then I bring the stuff home or to work.

Can you believe that I only found out recently that a super vegan friendly bakery has opened up right around the corner from work? And they have been there since December? And I have missed out on months of deliciousness! I only found out when an omni co-worker told me about it because she saw it on her Uber Eats app and kindly noticed it had a bunch of things labeled vegan. The place in question is Farine Bakery, and I have since rectified this horrible oversight on my part by trying out much of their vegan range.

Like this cinnamon doughnut, which is huge and delightfully covered in cinnamon sugar and is very good.

They also have several flavours of filled doughtnuts, and I got this amazing cherry jam doughnut. It was filled with sour cherry jam, and had whole bits of cherry inside.

I've tried both the cherry and blueberry danishes, which are both lovely.

To go along with the pasties, they have vegan croissants as well! Plain, almond, and chocolate. I got a chocolate croissant.

They sell these vegan cinnamon rolls, which are not like the big puffy bready cinnamon rolls, but have a more dense pastry scrolled up. They sell them in these cute little foil pie tins. I am having difficulty describing them, but they are SO GOOD! The cinnamon swirl in them is so strong.

This was the place that I got the vegan challah bread from. I have never had challah (vegan or otherwise) before, so I am not sure how it compared. But I enjoyed it. It had a nice flavour, and was very good eaten on its own or spread with things.

This place is very easy to pop by on the way to or from work to get some goodies, and I am definitely looking forward to eating more of their delights. They had some vegan cheese and bacon rolls a couple of weeks ago that I missed out on because I wasn't at work that day, so I really hope they have some of those again! And whatever other delicious vegan offerings they wish to create.

Jed was so thrilled about the vegan-friend bakery around the corner from work, he was quite overcome!

  1. I know what you mean about suddenly discovering a place is vegan friendly! These places need to advertise to us! I mean, VEGAN CHALLAH!

    1. They said they hadn't really advertised as vegan friendly but that the word must have gotten out recently because they were getting loads of vegans through. Advertising to vegans should have been the first thing they did! We want to give them our money for their delicious treats!

  2. Wow, how lucky are you? I've never had a vegan doughnut, but I do remember loving a good jam filled doughnut. And anything cinnamon and I'm in!
    Jed is thrilled! Around here I call that summertime pose. That's how Etta and Kiki spend most afternoons!

    1. Jed wandered downstairs the other day and threw himself down like this right in front of a client and they were just beyond delighted.
