We were so excited to stumble upon this vegan bakery in Salt Lake City

We literally stumbled upon this bakery (while charging our electric car nearby) and were delighted when we asked "What's vegan?" and the lovely woman behind the counter replied: "Everything". What brought us into the bakery was that they had a sign for a local Salt Lake City Vegfest in their window. I will say HappyCow needs to mark then as vegan rather than vegetarian. The staff couldn't have been more pleasant. We got the vegan lettuce wraps to go and they were great as well as some baked snacks of course.

Pros: 100% vegan, friendly staff, nice vibe

Cons: use of plastic

What a selection!

They really have such a great selection of cakes, cupcakes, cookies, muffins and grab n go food. We bought a bunch of cookies that were very nice.

Awful

I've been a City Cakes customer for many years, and I just never learn. Unfortunately, I am forced to go due to my daughter's food allergies. They've made birthday cakes for me that virtually fell apart, had dried out cupcakes or most recently they forgot my order! I drove 45 minutes to pickup a birthday cake for my daughter, that was ordered weeks ago, and when I get there, I was informed they never made it. I have a birthday, and no cake. What did they offer? Pickup one of our leftovers and we'll give you half off. I bid you farewell City Cakes.

Pros: Dairy free, Gluten free, Nearby

Cons: Dried out, Orders messed up, Don't get what you ask for

Scones, cookies, Mac n cheese, and so much more!

So many wonderful vegan options and they’re gluten free so my aunt could enjoy with me! When I got there, they had just put out some cookies and they were so fresh. The prices were super reasonable too in my opinion. People working are super nice and it was a comfortable place to sit down and eat. Highly recommend!!!

Great baked goods, but weak food selection

We had three baked goods and they were all great. We tried the soup and didn't like it. The food heating setup is with a microwave, so we wouldn't recommend it as a venue for a meal.

Love It!!

Got the almond poppyseed muffin, pecan sandie, and the chocolate dipped pecan sandie and they were delicious!! I haven't had a almond poppyseed muffin in years and was excited to try this one out and fell in love with the flavour of it. The cookie was perfectly sweet and tasty. Definiently make sure you visit this place.

Pros: Vegan, Delicious , Variety

Yummy brownie and dbl choco cookie

Wish they had ice cream to go with the brownie. Too many cupcakes. I was hoping for more variety. I was expecting more cakes and pastries. The yummy looking cover photo of that fruit tart wasnt even at the bakery.

Pros: All vegan

Cons: Need ice cream with brownie , Too many cupcakes

cafe mostly offers packaged food

They must have recently changed their menu and process because the cafe portion is largely a cooler with packaged food. There’s two microwaves staff direct customers to heat up the food (in another container if you don’t like microwaving food in plastic). It all tasted pretty good, but places that specialize in vegan food often care about waste. This place must not because offering food this way is an incredible waste of packaging that likely gets thrown away. Food did taste good, but it was a largely disappointing experience.

Pros: gluten feee options, tastes good

Cons: wasted packaging, not great service

vegan cheesecake

They have good cupcakes, cheesecake and tiramisu! Also the cheese potato wrap and Mac and cheese are delicious. Love this place, just wish they had the berry cheesecake more as opposed to the chocolate one :)

Pros: good variety

Cons: a bit pricey

took my breath away!

I’ve only tried the waffles with fruit and the spinach cheeze scone but both blew my mind... I got about 20 dollars worth of things to go too. That goes a long way here. This felt like vegan heaven and was one of the most impressive places I’ve gone to

Delish

Their fresh cinnamon rolls are the best I've ever had. Their Mac n cheez is amazing as well. It has a seasoning that I can't place my finger on but I love it!

Delicious!!

I recently visited City Cakes (twice!). I tried the vegan waffles, sausage & potato burrito and a tempeh chicken sandwich. Plus a cinnamon roll! The staff were all so sweet & helpful. The food was amazing! I took my sandwich to go & it came with me on our day trip to Antelope Island. There are lovely seating areas both inside & outside & clean restrooms. The baking floor is wide open, so you can see the hard at work. There is a small refridgerating section where you can buy pre-made items such as their own vege burgers, or tempeh chicken salad, etc.Highly recommend coming here for breakfast & lunch!!

Pros: All vegan!, Amazing food!

WOW, Best in the City!

I've been in SLC on business for under 24 hours and been to City Cakes twice already. There are baked goods, gluten-free options, space to sit and dine as well as watch the bakers work on their magical vegan creations.
Mac 'n 'cheese' is awesome with these big spiral noodles and orange sauce.
Vegan sausage and cheezy wrap is in a tortilla with au gratin potatoes and that same tasty bright sauce.
I found meringue cookies here...great texture and flavor.
The tiramisu? Oh, MY!! A creamy, fabulous MUST-TRY surprise of a dessert with all the right proportions and flavors.
I love this place, bet you will, too!

Pros: All vegan!, Wonderful food, Wide selection of sweets

Cons: Sausage wrap seems like something could make mysel

Yummy!

A cozy place in the middle of nowhere (at least for a non-american not used to the drive-everywhere life). I had their chocolate chip cookie which was good and their brownie that was AMAZING!
They have lots of GF options and some that are not! Really nice staff, lots of cookies and cakes and cupcakes! Loved it!

Pros: Vegan, Mostly GF, Nice staff

Cons: A little bit pricy

i have never had a bad experience at city cakes. the staff are always very welcoming, and the food always delicious. i constantly take city cakes to people who arent vegan, and its an awespme segway into a dialogue about cruelty free eating (:

Pros: huge selection, awesome people, cute yet professional

Cons: can never decide because everythings so good!!!!

Fantastic cakes and more!

This was a gem found when searching for a dairy free bakery for my toddler's birthday cake. Amazing cakes at beyond reasonable prices for custom work, and all the pastries are to die for. I'm just glad they're not closer to me or I'd weigh 500lbs in no time at all!

Pros: Primarily vegan, dairy allergy safe, great taste,

Cons: Pastries are pricy

Sweet people, even sweeter food

I went to City Cakes yesterday with my dad, as I needed to stock up on vegan breakfast foods while visiting him. The staff was incredibly nice and answered all of my questions about storing/freezing the food. I bought 6 muffins (one of each kind), a loaf of zucchini bread, and a donut. I have yet to try the muffins, but the zucchini bread and the donut were amazing and very flavorful. The cafe also has a cheery and pleasant atmosphere, and you can even look into the bakery through some clear glass. I love this place and I definitely want to go again.

Pros: very nice people, great food, pleasant atmosphere
