Cedar Ridge Cafe & Bakery

Had the tofu scramble wrap. Forgot to add the vegan sausage :( was very good. Would have taken buffalo tempeh sandwich to go but was getting busy and didn't want to wait. Everyone there is so nice makes you feel right at home.

Vegan baked donoughts - texture and taste spot on!!!! Extremely good and I am not a vegan

My family frequents the Cedar Ridge Cafe. They have the best iced coffee! The vegan apple pie muffins, avocado toast and tofu scramble are amazing. The people who work there are super friendly and the vibe is great inside.

I am so lucky to live only a few blocks from Cedar Ridge. This place is so special for so many reasons.

1) The food. My personal favorite is a delicious savory scone (every day there are different varieties) with egg and cheese (aka a "sconewich"), and now they are offering a vegan friendly option. Have I mentioned that every day there is a case filled with incredibly delicious baked goods from cinnamon buns to cookies to donuts to muffins to whatever else Michelle the head baker dreams up. There are also tons of vegetarian and vegan savory options so it's a great place for lunch as well. For example, they just added a buffalo tempeh sandwich to the menu that is so so yummy. I also love the vuna sandwich (vegan tuna made with chickpeas). Also I'd like to mention that I got a cake for my son's birthday from here and it was honestly the best cake I've ever eaten.

2) The staff. This was very close to being the #1 reason why I love this place. The owner Paul and manager/head baker Michelle and all the other staff there really make you feel welcome. My son has frequently gotten a complimentary cookie in exchange for a high five and a smile, and it's just a happy place to hang out at.

I could go on and on but I'll wrap it up. In conclusion, this place rules. You should check it out - but make sure you leave me a scone and a chocolate peppermint cookie ;)

I just moved to the suburbs from Brooklyn, and I'm so grateful a place like Cedar Ridge exists out here. The burbs can be a lonely place for a vegan!

I've only been here a few times, but they've got vegan baked good offerings, some lunch items (vegan pot pie special was great), and apparently they've just expanded their menu.

The atmosphere is very cozy and charming, too. I hope they stick around forever!

You cannot compare Cedar Ridge with any restaurant, cafe, or bakery in the area. Everything is done so thoughtfully and creatively, sitting in the cafe feels like home, and everything is delicious!

Cedar Ridge has a warm, friendly environment and some really yummy veg/vegan options. If you're looking for savory, their vegan tuna salad is a huge hit. They have delicious breakfast burritos (available without meat) for vegetarians looking for a hearty morning meal. Their biggest draw is the variety of baked goods. A vegan herself, the head baker uses her talent and innovation to bring delicious new items to the menu each day. Cupcakes, baked donuts, cakes and hand pies galore await any vegan with a sweet tooth who ventures inside. Absolutely try the vegan apple pie muffin, if you get the chance!

I love the vegan tuna sandwich! I actually crave it. For dessert I usually treat myself to a vegan cookie (cherry and almond) or vegan donut (amazing flavors available - loved the toasted coconut and the blueberry mint).
If I go for breakfast, I try to get the vegan granola bar when it is available or I have the house made granola with almond milk - Yum!
Selection of milk alternatives available if you ask.
Many options for vegetarians as well - hummus wrap, beet salad, yoghurt parfait.
