A place that has eschewed animal products (not to mention gluten and nuts) since 2010, this Kensington Market bakery excels at tempting diners with loads of sticky and savoury treats. Prolific in their craft, they bake everything from sandwich cookies and multi-layer cakes to golden pot pies brimming with hearty fillings.

At this Dundas West bakery, plant-based cinnamon buns and brioche, laminated pastries, scones and more make a solid case for swearing off animal products for good. Pop by the store to increase your chances of scoring the team's famed Better Than a Big Mac buns.

On Queen West and in Bloorcourt, this family bakery tempts with vegan donuts, cakes, cookies, cupcakes, muffins and more. Menu stand-outs, donuts are made fresh daily and include seasonal flavours along with classics, like apple fritters and Boston cream.

Who says you need butterfat to have a good time? At this Roncesvalles Village donut shop, the team whips a host of plant-based ingredients into a flurry of baked and fried delights. An intriguing mix of flavours — think ube and London fog, French toast and cranberry pecan — keep things endlessly interesting.

Working with organic, all-natural, plant-based ingredients, there isn't much that the talented team at this pastel-washed Beaches bakeshop can't make. From classic butter tarts and Nanaimo bars to loaf cakes, pies, cookies and cupcakes, they have a vegan answer to every craving.

At this stocked North York bakery outlet, visitors can find the company's full line of pre-packaged vegan goods, from cookies and cupcakes to pies and squares. On Fridays, a delectable selection of just-baked pastries joins the regular lineup.

Diners find plenty of reasons to linger at this bright vegan bakery and cafe, with locations in Parkdale and Thornhill. Beyond a robust lunch menu, the team crafts sticky buns and mini cakes, layered bars, pies and, duh, oodles of fruit- and cream-filled Danishes.

There are two chances each week — Wednesday and Saturday — to load up on vegan essentials at this Bloorcourt bakery. Though all items are gluten-free not all are strictly vegan, so let the amiable team walk you through the plant-based options, including fruit pies, cookies and towering layer cakes lavishly swathed in buttercream.

An array of animal-free products have made this Annex-area bakery a favourite among vegans and their crews. Muffins and squares make perfect walking snacks, with pies, squares, breads and celebration cakes ideal contenders for gift-giving or carting back home.
