Vegan AFI peta2 Alkaline Trio Vegan Treats
Fact—I love treats. Cupcakes, cookies, ice cream, doughnuts—all kinds of delicious baked goods really. So you can imagine my excitement when I find out about yummy vegan bakeries! In my opinion, the only thing better than cupcakes, is vegan cupcakes.
One such bakery, Vegan Treats, in Bethlehem, PA, was recently spotlighted by Alternative Press magazine. As you can see from the picture below, not only is Vegan Treats home to such mouth-watering delights as Peanut Butter Cup Brownies, Cake Batter softserve, Triple Berry Cheesecake, and a plethora of other vegan goodies, it's also a favorite stop of legendary bands like Alkaline Trio and AFI.
Danielle Konya, the owner of Vegan Treats, told AP that she decided she "could never eat meat again" after seeing a lobster "scratching to get out of the pot" in a restaurant, and she's proud that her bakery is "changing people's minds" about eating animals. With her version of vegan candy bars she's already won over Conor Oberst, Matt Skiba, and Davey Havok among others! I don't know about you, but I think a road trip to PA is in order!
You can read the full interview here. I'm not gonna lie, I'm slightly jealous of Bethlehem! Does your town have a sweet vegan bakery or restaurant with great desserts?

There's a Sticky Fingers Bakery here in Washington DC (I think there's one in New York too). I've never been there but I want to go there one day! Everything looks so good! :)
