Molasses cookies for the win - Edit
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.

All VEGAN Bakery! - Edit
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!

No better baked goods - Edit
I will literally drive the 4 hours from my home to this place just for a pumpkin donut.
Read moreThere 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 - Edit
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.
Read moreEnglish 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! - Edit
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.

Great all vegan food - Edit
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!!

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.

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

Can't not stop here while in Traverse City; - Edit
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 - Edit
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.

Delicious - Edit
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 - Edit
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.
Read moreSpeaking 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 - Edit
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! - Edit
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.
Read morePros: Yummy
Cons: Expensive , Small servings for big calories
