Wide variety of cakes, cookies, and any other baked good you can imagine. There are always tasty gluten free items, too. When it comes to vegan dessert, this place..ahem.. takes the cake :)
i was a little disappointed. maybe because we came in at around 1 pm, and the vegan baked treats were running a bit low and werent as fresh? i dont know. but we got the carrot cupcake, a chocolate and vanilla cupcake, and a whoopie cake. the cupcakes were rather dry and not very flavorful, and the whoopie cake was fun but just rather sugary. still, it was fun to go in and know that everything was vegan, and they dont even have to put a "v" label or anything. i almost had to ask to make sure the cheesecake didnt have dairy :)
Yummy treats and healthy light lunches! The doughnuts alone are worth the trip across town!!
We arrived in Portland on a recent Saturday and decided to visit Sweet Pea. It was a fortuitous choice as Sweet Pea only bakes raised donuts on Saturdays and they were to die for. We also enjoyed their lunch choices and took away some other pastries. All were excellent and the counter staff was both helpful and friendly making the visit an excellent beginning to an enjoyable albeit too short visit to Portland. We can't wait to return to both Sweet Pea and Portland.
I had the most awesome looking cake ever: a cheesecake topped with huge pieces of brownie and frosting! It was pretty cool. I also had a toasted coconut cupcake which was really yummy. Very moist and flavorful. My friends were very happy with what they got too (a slice of coffee cake and a chocolate cupcake). I don't go there very often though even though I am addicted to sweets; I like variety, and as far as I can tell they pretty much always have the same things: cookies, cupcakes, brownies, and cake slices. This is great, of course, since they're all vegan, but to get 5 stars from me they'd need more variety and more unusual stuff (e.g. danishes, Tiramisu, lemon bars, fruit pies, macaroons, raspberry chocolate bars, tarts, etc).
I also had a few different treats from Sweetpea at their AR2007 booth, and they were all fantastic! The vegan brownie was indeed the best vegan brownie I have ever had. The coffee cake was good as well, but I would pass it up for a Cookies n' Cream cupcake or another brownie any day.
Holy crap, I had a whole bunch of Sweetpea baked goods at AR2007, and they all rock!
I tried the brownies, coffee cake, cookies 'n' cream cupcakes, and the double chocolate chip cookies. Everything was fantastic. The brownies are the best vegan brownies I've tried so far. I hadn't had coffee cake in the 10 years I've been vegan, so it was a nice treat, and it was also fantastic.
I really liked that their products were nice and moist. A lot of the time, store-bought baked goods are dried out, but these were perfect, even several days into the conference.
The only other store-made vegan baked goods I've had that compare was something I had from Vegan Treats.
Great To See An ALL VEGAN Bakery. Good Ole' Cupcakes Is All We Got, Their Frosting Is Pretty Much Magic, My Favorite Part.
Only Complaint Is The Lack Of Variety At Certain Times, & Pretty Steep Prices. Hopefully They Can Take This Info Into Consideration and Stay Up.
