Molasses cookies for the win

Stopped in twice while here for the weekend. Tip - go at OPEN, things sell out quick. Delicious house made cinnamon cold foam on my pumpkin oatmilk latte was the perfect pairing with the dozen molasses cookies I pre ordered. Can't wait to come back next time I'm in tc.

Pros: Everything is vegan, Everything is vegan, Everything is vegan

Cons: Sells out early on some items

So many options

So many vegan options the zebra donut and orange scone were my favorite. Also LOVED my fudge latte, literally happiness in a cup.

All VEGAN Bakery!

This place is awesome and ALL VEGAN. They have two different kinds of breakfast sandwiches with egg and sausage. They have bagels, bread, donuts, cookies, cupcakes, and cakes. They also make delicious lattes with all the milk choices. The staff is also really sweet and pleasant. Don't miss this bakery, my vegan friends!

Love this place!!!!!

Dedicated gluten free bakery with amazing vegan food!! I got a breakfast sandwich from here that was so incredibly good. My non-vegan friend loved it too.

Love the local love

I appreciate going to a spot that has such love for their local vegan spot! This place clearly does.

Enjoyed both a donut and a breakfast sandwich from here, both delicious. Looo forward to coming back!

No better baked goods

I will literally drive the 4 hours from my home to this place just for a pumpkin donut.

There is no other vegan baked good that comes close to this place. I have never had anything that was not good. Awesome that I can get treats for family that is gluten free too

Many Vegan Pastries

Appreciate all the vegan bakery items. Chocolate cookie crumble donut was good but rich. Moist when eaten fresh that day. Maple pumpkin donut was delicious.

English Muffin sandwiches were hit or miss. 1 was super soggy & the person who ordered it couldn't eat it. Really no excuse for serving food like that when charging so much. 3 English muffin sandwiches no side $48 w/tax.

Solid!

I had the everything & cheesy bagel sandwich and an iced orange chai latte and a blueberry muffin. The bagel was very good. Cheesy, good vegan sausage and the gluten free everything bagel was pretty good too. I will say I didn't like the latte that much. It was a tad watery and didn't have a strong flavor. The muffin was great! Loved the sugary topping.

Pros: Vegan options

Great all vegan food

Cute little shop with wonderful food, apparently all vegan and all gluten free. We had the double chocolate donuts and holy smokes were they delicious. We have a cookie we are saving for tonight. Delicious, tons of parking. Unfortunately the service consisted almost entirely of the zombie stare, with the clerk digging in a little cup the whole time putting crunchy things in her mouth? A supervisor manager was walking around and went between us and the order counter, but they didn't acknowledge us either. We are from the Midwest, so maybe it's us expecting a hello, thank you, or have a good day, any of that, and this is how it is in tourist towns/city folk. Just seemed weird. We are planning to try the bagels tomorrow!!

Delicious!!

10/10 - stop in if you’re looking for a treat! We ordered the hot & smokey bagel melts (vegan sausage, cheese, and egg), double chocolate donut, French toast donut, and an iced fudge latte.

Pros: So many great options , Quality gf/vegan donuts , Bagel melts are to die for

Cons: Pricey $$$ pastries

Good

I really liked the bakery overall - we tried vegan cupcakes, scones, cheddar and chive bagels (w Daiya), and multiple kinds of donuts. Everything was good, and I'm giving it the highest rating I can simply because it's a vegan friendly bakery in northern Michigan, but I certainly wouldn't say it's the best vegan bakery I've ever tried. Everything was a little on the dry side. Worth visiting if you're in traverse City though simply to support a bakery with lots of vegan options! I'd say the scone was good and the donuts are pretty good too.

Edit: the recipe seems to have changed and the donuts are much more moist. A big improvement!

My favorite!

One of my favorite stops! I love being able to stop somewhere I can eat *almost anything. I always bring home extra sweets with me and enjoy them throughout the week. Their donuts, cookies, and brownies are fantastic. Highly recommend.

Pros: So many options, ☆almost all vegan , Easy parking, Friendly service

Cons: 1.5 hours away :(

Can't not stop here while in Traverse City;

It's always great to have a breakfast option in cities, and now with Stone Hound brewing adding a non plant based menu, this I believe is the only completely vegan place left in town. All of their drinks are amazing, and their pastries even excited our non vegan friends and family!

Lots of options, but out of a lot of them

So glad to have so many vegan options! Enjoyed cherry crumb pie, they were out of a lot of things which I would have liked to try, including the bagels (to be fair, it was 4th of July weekend). Everything is gluten free and vegan unless clearly labeled otherwise.

Pros: Lots of vegan options

Cons: Out of many things

Delicious

Who would've known you could get such delicious GF and vegan baked goods and good coffee in Northern Michigan?! It's a good thing I don't live here otherwise I'd have a hard time not visiting every single day to sample their big selection of treats. I didn't try the bagel melts but they look great for breakfast.

Best Bakery in Traverse City

Third Coast Bakery is the best bakery in Traverse City. In fact, I would say it is a strong contender for best bakery in the state of Michigan. It is fantastic. Being its own self-standing building, Third Coast Bakery can morph and ebb to its needs. They have a large backroom to bake in and even a side viewing area where, if you are lucky, you can watch the master bakers decorate cakes. There is also ample parking and outdoor seating to enjoy your treats.

Speaking of the treats, there are treats a plenty. Third Coast offers wide selection of vegan goods, but their highlight are their vegan donuts. In my most recent visit, they were featuring Girl Scout cookie inspired donuts. My favorite was the Thin Mint donut, which comprised of double dark chocolate and a peppermint creme under the outermost chocolate frosting. I did not know you could even make this version of cake, frosting, and creme vegan and this creamy and this tasty.

Every time I come to visit Traverse City I make sure to stop at Third Coast Bakery. And every time they blow me away with how creative and imaginative their pastries are while still being vegan. This is a MUST visit place in Traverse City, and a great proof to bring to your friends to happily pronounce, "See! Vegan can be delicious!"

Pros: Entirely Vegan, Rotating Specials, Outdoor Seating

Plenty of choices

They have a little of everything - donuts, cookies, cakes, scones, bread, macarons, etc. The cheesecake was probably my favorite followed closely behind the donuts since it is just so hard to find vegan donuts anywhere

Yummy cake!

Even though she’s not vegan, my mom bought a VaVa Vanilla cake to celebrate her birthday so I could take part in the celebration. She, my dad, and I all really enjoyed the cake. It was no different from a non-vegan, gluten cake, in our opinion.

Pros: Yummy

Cons: Expensive , Small servings for big calories
