I can eat everything here!!! - Edit
This is the only place in the city (that I know of) that suits all of my dietary needs- gluten free, vegan AND no refined sugar!! Plus it’s sooooo delicious. Only downside is it’s a bit expensive but it’s a good treat every once in a while! Thanks Wholesome Bakery!! 🧡

Try the cheesecake! - Edit
This is a lovely little spot that has great quality baked goods and vegan spreads. The cheesecakes (multiple flavors) are incredible! Everything is vegan.

Ok - Edit
We did the cinnamon rolls which were good just not as good as I’d hoped. Kids did cupcakes and cheese cakes. Picky kid did care for them, other kid enjoyed both. I tried both and they were good.

Good flavor but hasn’t mastered gf consistency - Edit
I got a rose pistachio loaf. The flavor was good however the have not mastered the gf texture. It was very crumbly so much so that it made it difficult to eat.
Read moreChai latte was okay but nothing great. Probably wouldn’t order it again. Staff seemed a little distracted and distant but they weren’t rude. Go early so that they aren’t sold out of many items by the afternoon.

Exorbitant prices, ok food, bad service - Edit
Went here for lunch today but came away feeling extremely disappointed by the quality of the food and the service, and ripped off by the exorbitant prices. Their food was not even prepared fresh. Buying reheated hours-old food sitting in the fridge, at such high prices felt like terrible value for money. On top of it, they request a default tip of 15%.
Read moreThey refused to heat up the soup (why???) and their Mac-n-cheese balls were disintegrating after they reheated them. Their almond tea cake was dry and tasted funny. The pizzas were good but the gluten free crust was quite underwhelming.
The servers were even unenthusiastic when we asked for glasses of water! And we have to bus our own tables after paying so much (plus a 15% tip)!
Would not go back, which is such a shame because we desperately WANT to support such local businesses
Pros: Fully vegan
Cons: Exorbitant prices , Dry pastries, Bad service

Everything I tried was delicious! - Edit
I tried 3 different pastries (cinnamon roll, almond cake, and some kind of savory onion-mushroom galette), all were amazing! Please support this local bakery for a quick bite. They also have cold grab-n-go meals for lunch/dinner/dessert.

Good but in a weird half-healthy state - Edit
*cupcake - pretty good, needs work on the cake a little
Read more*7 layer bar - good
*fruit Danish thing - good
*cinnamon bun - decent
Love that they are fully vegan and appreciate that they try to be healthier, but I think they'd be better off having half of the menu full sugar, indulgent sweets (but still vegan of course), and the other have actually healthy options (I'm guessing they use maple syrup, fruit juices, which is still processed by the body the same as refined sugar). They could use things like dates and applesauce (both still have the fiber attached) and that would count as no added sugar.
Staff is great.

Terrible Experience - Edit
On my recent trip to San Fransisco I was so excited to visit this all vegan cafe as this is rare in the States. However, the food and the overall experience was unfortunately really bad. I tried a few of the sweet treats; the cinnamon roll and the Tuxedo cupcake. Both of these had a weird/no taste and the cupcake sponge had the worst texture. Also the icing on the cupcake tasted horrible. My mum and I then ordered the avocado on toast; was a let down too. The bread was more like a cake; super dense and weird tasting and there was so little avocado on there i barely ate any of it because it tasted so strange. Also, we waited 30 minutes for the avocado on toast; thinking that it was being make and we were told it was ‘on its way’ by the worker; yet she had clearly just forgotten to make it and didn’t bother to tell us. She didn’t apologise and just overall the staff didn’t seem to care. The seating inside isn’t nice and everything was made for takeaway. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend based on my unfortunate experience.
Read morePros: All vegan cafe , Lots of cakes
Cons: Poorly run , Not a nice cafe to sit in , Bad tasting vegan food

Just ok - Edit
Pastries were all dry and the breakfast burrito lacked flavor. Disappointing for how expensive everything is. Wouldn’t go out of my way to come here again.

Aptly Named - Edit
It's nice that it's all vegan, and while the food is good, it's definitely not as interesting as I had hoped it would be...certainly wholesome! The tea cakes and scones are a bit on the dry side and lack some flavor. Lunch items like The Fancy had some nice qualities (onions were yummy, "goat" cheese was nice), but overall it felt a bit lacking too, and certainly not worth the price in my opinion. I also want to note that their to go boxes are nearly impossible to eat from; for something like an open faced sandwich, it was quite frustrating whether you wanted to eat with utensils or pick it up, and it would be nice if they'd think that through and provide something better (again, especially considering how much one has to pay for that little open faced sandwich!). My favorite thing was probably a brownie, which was fairly dense and rich and, though still pretty wholesome, had a bit more going for it in flavor and texture overall.
Read moreI'm writing this in retrospect, but next time I find myself visiting the SF Bay Area, this probably won't be high on my list for places I want to revisit. Still, if you're in the area, it's got some good things.
Pros: vegan
Cons: overpriced, a bit too wholesome, difficult take-out packaging

100% Vegan and Gluten-free - Edit
We were so happy to find this bakery that is a 100% vegan AND gluten-free establishment! We have been searching for more gluten-free options lately so this place was perfect and a lovely spot to stop for lunch.
Read moreThis Phoenix Hand Pie had black beans, plantains, onions, jackmeat, with a yummy curry sauce 🤤 we also loved the calzone, the delightful cupcakes and the hibiscus tea!
Very wholesome and not lacking in flavor! The

Little on the dry side - Edit
The goods look better than they taste, most of the things I've tried have been somewhat dry but I do appreciate the fully vegan menu so will probably keep giving it a try

Delicious - Edit
All sweets are delicious, especially the brownies and tea cakes. Love that everything is sustainable and low glycemic too!
Read moreIt is a little on the expensive side, but that comes with high quality ingredients. Visit early as most items sell out by end of day.

Vegan cakes! - Edit
This vegan bakery is a very pleasant place in SF. I went there after a walk to have breakfast and took many items. Visually, the place offers amazing cakes, full of colors. I took one baby cake with chocolate inside: the cake was not bad but the topping was hard margarine that became stodgy after some bites. I also took their tiramisu that was good and a pizza hand-pie that was excellent. On the whole, the place has some potential but it's way more expensive that you would expect for that kind of things. I hope they can improve their toppings to be more smooth and tasty. But the place worth the try!
Read morePros: 100% vegan, pleasant place, friendly staff
Cons: pricey, topping of cakes is hard veg' butter

Excellent vegan bakery! - Edit
Wholesome fills a very sorry hole in SF when it comes to exclusively vegan businesses. And to boot, they are 100% gluten free, women-owned, and serve some savory dishes for lunch and breakfast too!
Read moreWholesome always has a wide variety of cupcakes to choose from, along with some coffee-cake type desserts, brownies, and bars. However, my favorite is their carrot cake - delicious and I personally can’t tell it’s gluten free.
Pros: Many vegan desserts and treats, Savory breakfast and lunch items, Easy to get to!
Cons: A tad on the pricey side (but understandable), Dessert selection doesn’t rotate out very often

Love that it’s all vegan and gluten free, but room for improvement. - Edit
It’s been a while since my fiancé and I could order anything on the menu! However, the avocado on my toast was under-ripe. Delicious brownies! Gluten free bread is very good and thick-cut.
Read morePros: Gluten free!!, Pretty good sweets, Not super expensive
Cons: Why under-ripe avocado??, Mugs have no handles and burn hands

I love that they’re vegan! - Edit
This all-vegan bakery is right near my house plus they sell their cookies at Falletti’s. I’m not crazy about their products or their prices but I love their mission. I find their cookies cloyingly sweet, their cupcakes are good.
Read morePros: All vegan, Sweet and savory offerings
Cons: Not very good value, Staff seemed disinterested
