A New Vegan Bakery Blossoms in Chelsea

Blossom Bakery Opens in Chelsea

Move over Baby Cakes, there’s a new vegan sweet spot in town. This weekend, Blossom Bakery opened in Chelsea, offering a full range of dairy free indulgences ranging from fudgy brownies (we loved the mocha walnut for $4), to coconut macaroons, biscotti, and cupcakes.

Pamela Elizabeth, who also owns the oh-so-popular Blossom restaurants in NYC, runs the bright little space (conveniently located next to the vegan Blossom du Jour Café on 9^th Avenue). The inviting shop is outfitted with an open-kitchen, pops of pale yellow, and a couple tables where customers can enjoy their treats on-site.

All of the goodies are cholesterol and trans-fat free.  If you’re craving something savory, try and eggless quiche made with a tofu filling ($5), or rich croissant ($3). Those with a sweet tooth can’t go wrong with an over-sized cookie (ranging from $3 to $3.75), or a piece of cake or pie ($5 to $6.50 a slice) in flavors including pecan, German chocolate, and vanilla, to name a few. And while each treat is undeniably decadent, the feel-good ingredients may just prevent those feelings of eater’s remorse.—AMANDA LIBBY
