Decadent, delicious vegan desserts in Edmonton
A scrumptious dessert recipe doesn’t have to include lots of butter – vegan desserts get by just fine without the milk fat and animal products, thank you very much. These Edmonton spots serve up vegan desserts that taste so good, even non-vegans will clamour to taste them.
Bliss Baked Goods

Cafe Mosaics

Cafe Haven
9 Sioux Rd, Sherwood Park, AB T8A 4C7Located in Sherwood Park, this cute café is a little off the beaten path, but is always worth the trip. Their food is awesome, especially the brunch menu.

Not every dessert they offer is vegan, but the bigger the Remedy, the more likely that they will have a wide selection of vegan treats. The 124 Street location always has a plethora of vegan cupcakes and slices of cake, including the always-popular chocolate varieties.
