a gem! - Edit
not only is the food absolutely delicious, the owners are a lovely family who are all so nice. and to top it off the prices are reasonable. the jalapeno bite was to die for delicious. as was The salted cookie, scone and muffin. I can't wait to try the samosa hand pie tomorrow, the breakfast sandwich and the pizza all before I leave Bloomington in a couple of days! don't miss this place whether you're vegan or not!

A vegan oasis! - Edit
This is a small, friendly bakery with some seats and tables that offers a host of desserts--cookies, cupcakes, muffins, donuts, etc.--as well as some savory items like sandwiches and patties. I got a bunch of things here, all delicious. It is the only all-vegan place within 25 miles--and so good!

Amazing donuts - Edit
My mom and I got a few donuts to share- the best one was the raspberry hibiscus donut. And the strawberry crumb muffin was pretty good. The drinks were super tart though haha.

Rainbow is the go to place for vegan AND gluten free pastries and donuts. The scones are absolutely amazing as well as the unique donut flavors. Only downside is on certain days, some of the staff are rude.

O, To Find a Vegan Bakery! - Edit
Great selection of donuts and vegan treats. Easy walk from downtown. It’s always such a pleasure to say to the child, “Get anything you like.”

Great bakery - Edit
I love rainbow. Delish vegan baked goods, that always hit the spot. I will say I wish they had better selections early in the morning, most of the time it’s day olds, with fresh ones at 10-11 am.
Read morePros: Good selection, Fully vegan, Sweet & Savory
Cons: Availability

Great vegan cupcakes - Edit
Visited Rainbow Bakery on a Sunday and ordered a cupcake and the “Homer” donut. The cupcake was very sweet, moist, and delicious. Devoured it in two seconds. The donut was a cake donut so it was a little dry. Still sweet and the strawberry icing was flavorful. Only downside is I wish they had some yeast donut options.
Read morePros: Delicious, moist cupcakes
Cons: Donuts are cake donuts

Affordable and delicious! - Edit
It’s hard to find vegan donuts where I live so I’m always on the hunt for them while traveling. These were just as delicious as the donuts I got downtown Santa Monica but half the price! I also love the vegan breakfast Sammy and spinach pastry!

Love!! - Edit
Visited here when my older sister came to visit Bloomington! We got 3 donuts and a scone and it was all phenomenal! The only downside is how it's not really walking distance from campus :(

time capsule cafe honestly - Edit
firstly, when you walk in, it's like you walk into the 80s. there's a pacman arcade machine, and all the furniture, colors, and decor are very 80s and pop-y. i love it!
Read moresecondly, all of their baked goods are DELICIOUS and also there is a whole case of gluten free things!
my favorites have been the hand pies, and the choc chip cookies (both the marshmallow one that's gf and the sea salt one that isn't)
also love the oatmeal creme pies ♡
the lavender lemonade is a must try! 10/10 love it here

Great taste and texture! - Edit
We visited Bloomington and had to try out this bakery! It was excellent! Prices were very good and the quality was excellent! We got three cookies and three doughnuts. The maple bacon doughnuts were excellent! The “bacon” is flavored coconut and it truly tasted like bacon! We will come back when we’re in town!

Great spot for sweet and savory pastries! - Edit
As someone who craves sweetness after eating anything salty and vice versa, I always appreciate a bakery that has solid sweet and savory options. Rainbow Bakery offers delicious sweet stand-bys (such as chocolate peanut-butter, toasted coconut, and salted caramel donuts) alongside some interesting specialty flavors (such as sweet beet, pistachio cardamom, vanilla rose, and lavender donuts). I also love their savory donut flavors (such as maple bacon) and their pasties (delicious dough pockets with savory fillings).
Read moreThere are a number of flavors I haven't tried yet, though I'd love to, including the persimmon donuts. Persimmons are kind of a southern Indiana staple (and I have many fond memories of my Bloomington native grandmother's persimmon pudding).
Updated from previous review on 2020-01-10
Pros: friendly staff, sweet and savory, great range of flavors (and all vegan
Cons: hard to predict when specialty flavors are there, no free refills on coffee

AMAZING! - Edit
All. Vegan. Bakery. What more can I say? They have a delicious array of baked goods - donuts, cookies, muffins, scones, hand pies, and breakfast sandwiches. Everything that I've had has been amazing. My favorites are the breakfast sandwiches, apple cider donuts, and chocolate crinkle cookies.

The Perfect Treat - Edit
The hand pies are amazing! I also recommend the sea salt chocolate chip cookies and oatmeal cream pies. I don’t care for the donuts, they tend to be dry. The only all vegan restaurant in Bloomington, a great business to support!

Try the lavender donut - Edit
It was a bit of a walk from campus, but that’s only a problem for me. Besides that, it was great! They have an entirely vegan menu, which I think makes it the only entirely vegan restaurant in Bloomington. I had the lavender donut and the cheezy potato hand pie, both of which were amazing, and worth trying if they have them during your visit. They have buyable art on the wall and great music over the speakers as well. Overall, my new ~treat myself~ place!
Read morePros: Entirely vegan, great music, Mix of comfort food and new things
Cons: Little bit of a walk from campus , A bit expensive, but not more than any other cafe

Phenomenal! - Edit
I was afraid Indiana would be scant on vegan options, but this place was amazing! Possibly my favorite vegan bakery I’ve been to. Really quality coffee as well. A must see if you’re in Bloomington.

Completely Satisfied! - Edit
We went to the Rainbow Bakery and bought half-dozen donuts. We bought one with choclate icing, chocolate icing with sprinkles, strawberry icing, blackberry(?) icing, maple flavored icing and I cant remember the last one. We loved all of them plus the cinnamon roll I got. Im kind of glad its an hour drive otherwise I would be tempted to buy one everyday! Its also beautiful to be able to support a local, small business! It was also a pretty busy place so it must be a popular Btown spot.
Read morePros: No waiting time even though it was busy, Yummy food, Friendly staff
Cons: Pricey

Breakfast Pastie! - Edit
Ok, yes, they have vegan donuts, cupcakes, etc., but the most fun thing is the breakfast (tofu) scramble inside a pastry crust with a side of gravy. YASSSS!

Pros: eclectic cool, great service , very tasty
Cons: Not a lot of seating, it gets crowded, How about some vegan Chai Lattes?, limited quantities
