Not sure if this is in the right place, but my friend just told me today that a new vegan bakery has opened in Pawtucket! I don't see a website, but here's their facebook. I guess it's a combo bakery/juice bar/raw foods/cafe place, and it's right next to Garden Grille. I can't wait to go! As soon as it stops snowing.

My friend also sent me a couple pictures:

I love love love the name!

I'm really excited for this and can't wait to stop in next time I am on my way to Providence.

It's next to Garden Grille?! Pawtucket, you never cease to amaze me!

Where were all of these great vegan places when I was in school in Prov?

Well...I wasn't a vegan then but still-I coulda been!

So now this is kind of unfair. Now, when I gorge myself at Garden Grille, I'm going to have to find even more room for pastries and coffee!

This is a great problem to have...

pawtucket, is that next to quahog?

I really want to get down there and try it. I LOVE Garden Grille and my BFF lives in Cranston so it's a good excuse to visit!

I still haven't even been to Garden Grille! Shameful.

How cool!! I wish I lived nearby. I don't think there is a vegan bakery in all of Texas. I could be wrong about that. I just moved here a few months ago from Europe.

My dad's hometown is Pawtucket! I love that little town.

Me either, I always end up going to Nice Slice or United BBQ in Providence.

It looks bountiful, good sign!

I stopped in Tuesday night after dinner with a friend at Garden Grille. Apparently 12/21 was opening night.

We got red velvet cupcakes and vegan hot chocolate, it was pretty great.

The owner put in some really neat skylights and he said it is beautiful during the day.

This is off-topic, but if you go to Rasoi, the Indian restaurant right next door to garden Grille & Wildflour... they have delicious vegan & gf items, marked on the menu as such, and the staff is super helpful about telling you which other items are vegan/gf. They also have a gluten free vegan brunch every Saturday AM which is to die for. :)

im starting to think we need our own new england sub forum. Just sayin...

i might have to go check it out before i head down to esme's tomorrow...

you should actually just come here since we have all week to go!

Fieldtrip to Pawtucket!

you come down for bakery breakfast and we'll come up for grasshopper!

Sounds perfect to me!

I'm sooo excited to try this out! So many times I've eaten at Nice Slice and wanted a dessert with none to be had.

we went this morning and i got one of the pecan sticky buns - REALLY good.

michael got a chocolate chip scone that we haven't tried.

he also got the pourover coffee which was... you know, coffee. nothing special. we'd probably just get brewed from now on.

one nit picky thing: it irks me when vegan places have dairy for coffee. i get the idea behind it. but it makes me a little stabby.

It is so interesting. Sweet Avenue refuses to do so, and apparently at least 1x a week they have someone come in and have a meltdown because they can't get dairy milk. Those people wouldn't survive for a a few days as vegans! Can you imagine what would happen if we had meltdowns everytime we couldn't get soymilk?

I noticed that in one of the photos they posted on facebook and was a little disappointed. Are people who are really open to a vegan cafe that creeped out by non-dairy milk? I think Evolution (in Northampton) used to have dairy for coffee, but they stopped.

Anyway, glad to hear that what you had was good! Was it all baked goods or did they have savory stuff too?

i think it was just baked goods. i don't remember seeing anything savory. but there was a whole chalkboard with items listed on it that i wasn't really paying attention to. i remember seeing coffee and tea on it, but there could have been other stuff that i missed. i'm sure we'll be back again and i'll try to remember to check for savory stuff.
