Been here a couple of times, cupcakes are good, quiche fine. It was fine. I'd like to see less soy heavy products. Soy is definitely easy to work with, tofu, etc. But a slice of quiche is over $7, it's made with tofu. A block of tofu costs 99-$2 at the grocery store. This is a good place to introduce people to the idea of meat/dairy replacement I hope they stick around and evolve into creating vegan food that isn't considered a replacement but rather able to be what it is, good, clean food. We all start somewhere, and this is a good place to start for those trying the veg-diet. I'd like to give 3 1/2 stars, it's better than fair but not quite very good for the price and ingredient variety. T...
Vegan East started in White Bear and has since expanded to Uptown very quickly! It's easy to see why. Their baked goods are excellent and they also offer gluten free options on top of being dairy-free. They also have some food like quiche and soup along with ice cream sammies! Everything I've had has bee great. Their White Bear Lake location used to be a tea shop so it's close to my heart but it is a little dark and not too cute to hang out in so I usually take away my snacks
Had two flavors of quiche, cinnamon roll and muffins. They looked great, but muffins greasy/flavorless, Quiche pretty dry and cinnamon roll kinda flat. Staff also didn't understand that we wanted to split a pot of tea, and charged us for two pots of tea which cost as much as the pastries!! Have had much better, in my home and in other vegan establishments. Nice to have more vegan options, I guess.
What finally got me here was an eggroll special. A good size and stuffed to the gills with a mushroom mix and I swear it tastes like a regular pork one. I picked up a couple of the mini peach pies. Basil liked it more than me. There is no sit down here, just memories of the Avalon tea room. They didn't have carrot cake slices, which I had at J. Selby's years back that I love.

we visit vegan east as often as we can when we visit minnesota. the cinnamon rolls are the best, we also love the cookies, cakes and cupcakes. the room is very nice to hang out and enjoy a tasty egg. they also sell discounted frozen cookies that we store
When I was dairy free, this place was a life saver! Good cinnamon rolls and pop tarts! With their cake, the frosting wasn't the best (possibly shortening base? . I would prefer icing that was made with vegan butter.
So, so good! I would recommend this to anyone regardless if you are vegan or not. I wish the White Bear location was opened more than once a week.
The cupcakes here are addicting. Beautiful and delicious! The Matcha cupcake is my favorite but not always available, unfortunately.
