So many Vegan/GF Options

We checked out the bakery for their Easter themed cupcakes and went home with their incredibly delicious GF/V ice cream sandwiches! Definitely very sweet but worth it every bite!

Pros: Lots of vegan options , Lots of gluten free options!, Very cool and fun designs!

A++

I have always really loved ThimbleCakes. Their Cupcakes and baked goods are always delicious, and they almost always have a fun, unexpected flavour like French Toast or Banana Split. If you're a coconut fan like me, their ice cream is amazing. I especially love the chocolate 🍫. The actual shop itself also has a very cute and classy aesthetic.

We also got their Vanilla Rose Cake for two different birthdays, and it is SO fluffy and delicious. One of my favs for sure 😍

Ice cream and baked treats

Walking up Bank Street, I noticed a blackboard sign saying “Coconut Ice Cream is Back.” Turns out most of their goodies are vegan, besides the ice cream. There are several delicious flavours of ice cream - I enjoyed the mocha chip - and ice cream sandwiches too. As for baked goods, there are cupcakes, cookies and lots of other treats - almost all are vegan - and several GF items, besides custom-made cakes. The apple turnover is nice and flaky. Hot beverages also available. Nice shop!

Just scrumptious

THE most delicious pumpkin scone ice ever had!!! It's hard to find both gluten free and vegan treats, and Thimble had a great selection of cupcakes, cookies, and scones. The texture was absolutely on point, so light and the perfect amount of spice. I need their secret recipes!!

Pros: Variety of products, Gluten free and vegan options

Cons: Not all vegan

Try everything!

We tried almost everything and were glad we did so! We ordered a pumpkin pie early for Thanksgiving (delicious filling, flaky crust), and just kept adding things to our order while admiring the shop. The apple turnovers are delicious and the chocolate chip cookies (somehow dairy free!) were fantastic!
We’ll be back next time we’re in town (holidays), for sure!
Next time, we’ll have to sample the ice cream, which looked great.

Pros: A bakery for the dairy allergic!, Delicious pastries and desserts, Convenient downtown location

Just returned today (finally got back to Canada!!) and those apple turnovers are still delicious! Also picked up a beautiful vegan cake for Easter (decorated in colorful flowers). Still didn’t get any ice cream…will have to return in summer for that. Still 5 stars!!

Best ice cream cupcakes in town.

I could not love this place more. Delicious treats and friendly staff. Sometimes have to wait longer than I’d like for service (they get busy) but it’s always worth the wait.

Pros: Delicious, Vegan options galore, Friendly staff

Cons: Sometimes understaffed

Palm Oil.... 0/10 for being careless and lying.

Unfortunately another example that "Vegan" doesn't mean healthy or ethical and that some companies use this vegan "trend" to sale and not on principle (even if they say so, see below). Place looked nice, went in to get something for my GF, asked for their ingredient list and notice the low quality ingredients including PALM OIL in pretty much everything. Also, I was very disappointed when I read the below (see below) statement on their website... Says a lot about a company. I would strongly suggest going somewhere else and asking for the ingredients to really know what you're buying and encouraging!

"We ThimbleCakes solemnly swear to always put your health and the betterment of the environment over profit. We have a huge passion for doing what is right. We use eco friendly cleaners and recycled materials for the environment."

Tell me what you buy and I'll tell you who you are!
Cheers.

Amazing selection and great vegan dessert

I really love this place, they have vegan ice cream and cupcakes, even hot chocolate. A bit on the pricey side, and i could swear there's a fishy taste in the icing but i love it anyway.

Pros: Great selection, Most of the items are vegan, Amazing vegan ice cream

Cons: Price, Taste isn't always on point

Excellent...sugar bliss!

This is an excellent (did I say excellent) bakery and ice cream parlour (coconut ice-cream). The ambience is great, service fantastic, and their baked goods are out-of-this world (a bit pricey, but goooood). Highly recommend this place.

Pros: Coconut ice creams, Cupcakes, Service
