i know, i know, you anxious vegans. you have been tracking the arrival of babycakes vegan bakery on twitter for ages (i know i have!), and now it is finally time for them to open up in los angeles. tomorrow at 10am is when the adventure begins!
cookies 'n cream frosted cupcake: $3.95
i reviewed the babycakes nyc location awhile back on this blog, so i speak from experience when i say, these cupcakes are FUCKING AWESOME. i got the cookies and cream flavor which was great, along with a creamy cookie and frosting sandwich. babycakes was originally set to open in weho, but tomorrow they are opening in downtown LA. their menu is epic, and they will also be carrying donuts…just what los angeles needs, if you ask me.
everyone from vegan celebs like rory freedman, to to live and eat in la and ecorazzi, to vegan forums are excited about babycakes opening up, so you should get stoked as well! for more info on the company, and to see a real time countdown to the opening of the new store, check out the babycakes website.

eh, can’t say i’m all that excited. babycakes tastes like play-doh. gimme the unhealthy stuff like donuts from the righteous fryers!

I agree with Brittany. I really wanted to like Babycakes, but they are kind of cardboardy. I am so excited about Righteous Friers though!

That’s why I’ve been baking my own vegan treats this whole time. I’ve grown tired of the disapointment every time I try someone else’s. You always end up paying more for vegan baked goods just because it’s vegan. I can by the ingredients and make MANY batches of whatever I want. I’ve even had my omni friends and family say it tastes BETTER than what they buy. Maybe I should start selling my cookies, cakes, pies, etc….

I love how this place hasn’t even opened yet and people are already dissing it.

Lighten up folks… as Foodeater pointed out, they’re not even open yet. Let others enjoy, explore and decided on their own.
Hooray – a vegan bakery in L.A.! I’ll see yous there at 10AM.

Ok – so that cupcake looks delicious….but I am not paying 4 dollars for the damn thing.

Super awesome, but I’ll probably stick to my own baking.

Thanks for the information. We will definitely head over & give them a try (and the benefit of the doubt). Hope their treats are delicious.
