Move Over Uncle Eddies, There's a New Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookie in Town (and cupcakes)
Time and time again, the small little boutique bakery on Ventura Blvd. in Sherman Oaks keeps on building its reputation. First, Leda's Bake Shop comes on to the scene with its whimsical cupcakes and baked goods, put together in their clean-cut 1960s open style kitchen. Then last fall, to appeal to soccer moms with lactose intolerant sweet teething children and vegans, they added vegan cupcakes. Then came vegan chocolate chip, oatmeal cherry and snickerdoodle cookies.
You do not even have to think twice about the cookies being vegan. How is one to know? We don't.
The next step in the Leda's Bake Shop evolution is for the morning crowd. Within the next month, they will be serving expresso with your morning muffin. Sit outside on the boulevard and relax as you watch Valley Traffic pull people over for running reds at Woodman and Ventura. Ahhhhh, what a great start to the day.
After the jump, the complete vegan list.
