Divine! - Edit
I live in a part of the country that has very limited vegan options so when I travel I have to seek out bakeries and stock up on goodies. This bakery is amazing!!! So many different options. We got a savory croissant which was very flaky and good, and lots of sweet treats as well. Everything is bigger in person than it looks online which was a pleasant surprise. I placed an order ahead because a lot of stuff gets sold out early.

Nice vegan bakery/cafe in a cool area - Edit
I went there for the first time the other day. I had meant to try their bagel sandwich, but will save that for a second visit. Their lavender scone was great, and one thing I have missed since going vegan was scones, so it's especially nice to find a really good one.
Read morePros: Record store across the street, Good variety of treats, Savory items as well
Cons: Parking is awkward

I dream about this place - Edit
not only was everything SO delicious, but this was the most affordable vegan bakery I’ve ever been to, and the portions were incredible. my husband and I stopped here on a road trip and it was such a good find, with so many unique choices and very friendly staff. I would love to go back! when we got there most of the savory breakfast sandwiches were sold out and we got the last scone, so go early if you want first pick!
Read morePros: affordable , so many options and unique flavors , wonderful staff

Very nice desserts - Edit
I didn’t realize place had new owner(not sure when they changed). I had donut (which was pretty good) and breakfast Taylor egg and cheese bagel which to me was way too salty.

Cute vegan bakery - Edit
I really wanted to give this bakery 5 stars but my pork roll, egg and cheese sandwich was just not good! I see people rave about it, so I will try again. Maybe it was an off day. Other baked goods were delicious.
Read moreUpdated to 5 stars after a couple more visits. My PEC was just not good the first time but was really good last time. Bacon, egg and cheese was tasty too. Boston crème donut was out of this world.

Delicious! - Edit
Was thrilled to find such a delicious vegan bakery! The bagel breakfast sandwiches were good. The biscuit was amazing. Wish they made breakfast sandwiches with those! The desserts were a rare vegan find that taste better than regular baked goods. Heard they were thinking of expanding. Really hope they do! I hope for MD!

Delicious breakfast sandwiches and donuts! - Edit
The food was delicious. My husband and I had the sausage, cheese and egg sandwiches, one on a bagel and one on a biscuit. They were both filling and amazing. My husband enjoyed the chocolate sprinkled donut too.

The Best Wedding Dessert Spread! - Edit
Yellow Rose catered my wedding reception last summer, and they did a phenomenal job! We wanted a dessert station, rather than the traditional tiered cake for our reception, and Yellow Rose was able to provide us with multiple flavors of donuts, bars, cookies, cupcakes, and a small cake to cut. The dessert bar was a huge hit! Some standouts loved by our guests were the red velvet donuts, brownies, cookies n' cream blondies, funfetti cookies, lemon cupcakes, and our small cake for cutting which was lemon berry flavored! The whole team was wonderful to work with, and they worked closely with us to make sure our final spread was just what we envisioned. They also offered delivery and setup for a very reasonable price. Would highly recommend Yellow Rose for your next event!

so many great options! - a bit burnt - Edit
It may have just been today since I know they were slammed with thanksgiving, though I was disappointed with the burned flavor. I got the crème brûlée donut and I know you torch sugar for that but the flavor of burnt was overpowering. The filling on the inside was not especially sweet which was sad since the dough wasn't either. Similarly, the bottom of my croissant was a little burnt but I pulled off the bottom and it was great otherwise! I thought the plain glazed donut was very good and doughy, unlike any other vegan donut I have had. I really liked the egg/cheese/sausage bagel (the bagel is more so a chewy roll but I really enjoyed nonetheless). Great atmosphere and great staff. Fair pricing

Amazing!! - Edit
It’s this small little unsuspecting bakery, essentially in the middle of a residential neighborhood. This is the first time i’ve gone but the second time trying their food, and I can’t wait to go back again bc everything i’ve eaten has been CRAZY GOOD! so far i’ve tried:
Read moreApple Cider Donut
S’mores Brownie
Regular Brownie
Cinnamon Roll
Chocolate Banana Muffin
idk if I can even pick a favorite they were all so good!! (but if I HAD to, I would probably say the apple cider donut w the cinnamon roll close behind)
Definitely recommend stopping by here! I’m gonna try a savory item next time😄

Best bakery for the money - Edit
I was there twice in a week this past week. The first time I ordered about $60 worth of food and the second time I ordered about $40 worth of food.
Read moreThey have a good assortment of goodies. They have the usual scones, cookies, bars, and donuts. They also have premade breakfast sandwiches and a full coffee selection.
I have been to Papa Ganache and Vegan Treats, and this Yellow Rose bakery is just as good. The prices are better than the two other bakeries I mentioned. The Yellow Rose does not have as big of a selection of donuts or any cakes, but what they do have is a good enough variety of goodies.
I probably had a sample of at least half of their offerings and all of them were very good. Everything was vegan and they even had gluten free products. Someone came in while I was there and had a host of food allergies. I am not sure what they ordered, but they were able to purchase something. They have coffee, tea, and other drinks. The place had customers constantly coming in while I was there both times. It is set in a nice neighborhood. Too bad there is not one in my neighborhood.
Pros: Good variety, Breakfast sandwiches, good prices
Cons: It is a small space- they make it work.

It was hard choosing just one item, so we left with as much as our stomachs could hold! The quiche was so delicious! As we’re the breakfast sandwiches and bakery items. Highly recommend if you’re in the Maplewood area.

Loved it! - Edit
I will definitely be back again whenever I’m in the area. So nice that this place is 100% vegan so I can pick ANYTHING from the menu! I got a cinnamon roll and a raspberry shortcake. The shortcake was mind blowing because it tasted exactly like the shortcake I used to make as a non-vegan teenager and haven’t had in decades now! Plenty of seating inside and outside.

Decent vegan baked goods - Edit
I finally got to try Yellow Rose after seeing their posts since they opened. The bakery is cute and was very crowded when I went. It is in a cluster of stores in a residential area.
Read moreI tried the donuts, poptart, and cinnamon roll.
The items had a homemade vibe as opposed to a commercial bakery feel. For a lot of people, this is appealing.
I was most looking forward to the doughnuts, but I was slightly disappointed and wouldn't go back for them. They would be better if they were less greasy, less heavy, and did not taste like nutmeg (especially doesn't go well with chocolate IMO). Not sure why vegan places like to put nutmeg in doughnut dough (Dotties in Philly has the same issue). I consider this a homemade style doughnut, and again I'm sure there are many fans of this style.
The poptart pastry was very thick and I didn't love the taste of the big blob of strawberry jam, but overall, it was fine, just surprising that they'd go with such thick slabs of pastry.
The cinnamon roll was okay - reminded me of my own attempts at making them. Tastes okay but doesn't really achieve that appealing dough texture. It's hard to make really good vegan enriched yeast dough.
On a positive note, all of the glazes/icings on the items were great.
Overall, the dough/pastry recipes could use a bit of refinement perhaps. The stuff is okay to good according to my very particular preferences, but I definitely recommend everyone try the baked goods for themselves because lots of other people seem to love it. It just wasn't for me.

Pros: Cute place, Nice logo, Vegan
Cons: Baked goods could use refinement, Expensive

Cool spot - Edit
Very cool spot for breakfast. Their “egg taylor ham and cheeze” tasted close to the original but I felt the bagel was way too chewy, probably better on a different bread. Pastries were pretty good. Also had the lavender lemonade and I liked it even though I’m not a huge lemonade fan.

Limited hours&food - Edit
Running a small business is hard but being open only for half days, half of the week... I am not sure how they make it. I was excited to try this place. The vibe was great, the decor and the games. I am not sure what time I came in but it wasn’t early in the morning and by the time I came in a lot of the food from the limited menu was already sold out. I got a sandwich with just egg and some kind of vegan meat (beyond I think) basically something I could have assembled easily myself with packaged ingredients from Whole Foods, and maybe the bread was actually baked in the café I don’t know. I also got and did not like my pastry (and I generally love sweet pastries). If I go back here it would be for a drink and to hang out and play games, not in the hopes of having a nice filling lunch.
Read morePros: Great vibe, Games, Nice staff
Cons: Limited hours, Not much food
