| - I absolutely adore this place.
I found them last year, around this time, while searching for a birthday cake that my co-worker could eat and enjoy without fear of bodily retaliation. I was excited to find VeganBites - allergy-free, vegan, gluten-free, AND organic. I ordered a 10" round double layer chocolate cake and requested it be gluten-free..
The cake was a hit in the office. Even a couple co-workers who, to that point, made every effort to avoid and discredit the taste and validity of anything gluten-free or vegan, devoured their slices. You can taste the quality of ingredients, too. I knew then that, at the very least, I'd be back again for my coworker's next birthday.
Fast forward to now and custom birthday cake for the co-worker #2...
Remembering her love of peanut butter cups, I sent an email inquiring whether or not a "PB cup"-inspired cake was possible. I forgot that peanuts are not allergy-friendly. However, the team offered an almond butter alternative. They took the time to outline options and provide feedback that would get as close as possible to the end goal. At the end of the day, my co-worker chose the oreo crumble flavor from the regular menu. I placed the order online and included a note that someone else from the office would pick up the cake. Everything was so easy. I can't say enough how much I appreciated the team's responsiveness, patience, and willingness to help.
As expected, this year's cake - this time, with gluten - was again a hit.
My only complaint is that I live on the other side of town. But that's a ME problem. YOU? You should pay this place a visit.
