favorite! - Edit
i have never had a bad experience at city cakes. the staff are always very welcoming, and the food always delicious. i constantly take city cakes to people who arent vegan, and its an awespme segway into a dialogue about cruelty free eating (:

Fantastic cakes and more! - Edit
This was a gem found when searching for a dairy free bakery for my toddler's birthday cake. Amazing cakes at beyond reasonable prices for custom work, and all the pastries are to die for. I'm just glad they're not closer to me or I'd weigh 500lbs in no time at all!
Read morePros: Primarily vegan, dairy allergy safe, great taste,
Cons: Pastries are pricy

Sweet people, even sweeter food - Edit
I went to City Cakes yesterday with my dad, as I needed to stock up on vegan breakfast foods while visiting him. The staff was incredibly nice and answered all of my questions about storing/freezing the food. I bought 6 muffins (one of each kind), a loaf of zucchini bread, and a donut. I have yet to try the muffins, but the zucchini bread and the donut were amazing and very flavorful. The cafe also has a cheery and pleasant atmosphere, and you can even look into the bakery through some clear glass. I love this place and I definitely want to go again.

Superlative - Edit
Let me add another voice to the chorus of appreciation for this place. It's really a very good bakery that anyone (veg*n or otherwise) would appreciate, but the fact that most of what they offer is vegan is, well, frosting on the cake. And many gluten-free options, too.
Read moreExcellent quality of taste and texture.
The cinnamon rolls are fantastic.
Pros: Excellent quality of taste and texture, all baked goods are vegan

The vegan bakery! - Edit
This place is a super legit vegan bakery with delicious gluten free options as well. We were only stopping by on a short layover and wished we would have grabbed more! The zucchini bread was amazing, the pb bar was incredible and the cookies we had were equally as delicious! Come and open one in Chicago, or maybe not... Too dangerous!

Wow, wow, and YUM - Edit
City Cakes haunts my dreams... so delicious. I can't even believe it. I'm vegan and gluten free and it's not easy to find so many options that are this delicious. No weird chalky, gluten free tastes - just yummy baked goods. I got a loaf of the fresh zucchini bread and ate the whole thing in one evening. I also love the ginger snaps and the peanut & chocolate bars. The staff is really helpful and knowledgeable, and they are very accommodating with food restrictions. I can't say enough good things about City Cakes!

Best Vegan Bakery In SLC - Edit
I used to be a big fan of Cakewalk until I found out about CityCakes. I think they are the best vegan bakery in Utah. I love just about everything from their donuts to their tiramisu. Their baked good are outstanding, they also have some nice food options like Mac and cheese, which are pretty good etc.
Read morePros: Big, Outstanding, Fantastic Service

Great baked goods! - Edit
We stop here EVERY time we're in Salt Lake City. Staff is always friendly and knowledgable about there menu and bakery counter. It's not often you can have a vegan CINNAMON ROLL. Even our non vegan friends salivate over these baked items. TOP NOTCH - get here... You'll love it.
Read morePros: Great baked goods, Dairy free CINNAMON ROLLS!, Cafe too
Cons: Not one in Las Vegas

Best vegan bakery I've been to yet - Edit
Caveat: I didn't stop in at Cakewalk while I was in Salt Lake, so I don't know where I stand in that war.
Read moreHowever, I travel a lot and always make a point to stop in the local vegan bakeries, and I have to say, City Cakes takes the cake. My travel buddy and I ordered a ton of stuff for the road, and not only was it super affordable, but it was mostly delicious. My favorite item was the tiramisu -- best vegan tiramisu I've tried yet. I also really liked the au gratin potatoes and the mac and cheese. I don't recommend the red velvet cupcakes (we had the gluten free version). It was just like a vanilla cupcake dyed red, which is not what red velvet is supposed to be. Also the gluten free bread is too sweet and a little dry and crumbly. Overall, though, I LOVE this place and the staff were super friendly and helpful as we filled a huge bag with goodies to go.

Always excited to try a new vegan place!! - Edit
My mother (vegetarian), son (vegan) and I recently visited City Cakes and ordered a variety of food and pastry items. While I am always over the moon about trying any vegan eatery and will definitely keep visiting this restaurant to support vegan eateries, this is not my favorite in the city. My burrito was delicious, but was only warm...I am fairly sure that all meal options were pre-made and simply warmed up. My mom was not thrilled with her burger and had the same feeling about the temperature. My son did enjoy the mac and cheese (their homemade cheese sauce is really tasty). As for the bakery items (we ordered quite a few different items), they were just okay.
Read morePros: All vegan, Plenty of parking and seating, Many menu options
Cons: Food temperature, Just "okay" flavors

Very Pleased - Edit
After my experience trying Cakewalk, I was about to just stick to my own baking. But someone told me about this place. I tried the tiramisu. OH MY GOD! I don't know how she makes the whipped cream in it but... it is the best thing I have ever tasted in my life. I am going to probably start gaining a bit a chubb because I plan to frequent this place very often in the future.

Love it - Edit
I think everything here is vegan, or at least almost everything. They have tons of cookies, muffins, cupcakes, etc. During our one week trip to SLC we visited them twice, both times with yummy food and friendly staff. They also have coffee, mac 'n cheese (it's good as far as restaurant mac 'n cheese goes), veggie burgers, and more.
Read morePros: good pastries, good coffee, good food
Cons: all the way in SLC ;)

I can't even begin to say enough... - Edit
City Cakes is hands down the best bakery in the world. I have been to bakeries all across Europe and the U.S. and City Cakes is still my favorite. I have never found a (mostly) vegan bakery with such variety and quality.
Read moreCity Cakes is a great place to drop by and hang out. They have awesome coffee, small meals (favorites are their chili and mac and cheese), and an array of baked goods. Their sitting area is cozy and large and never too full to fit you and the staff is so sweet. They have a water dispenser so you don't have to constantly ask for water if you are doing homework (free wifi!) and they usually have a bowl of vegan dog biscuits on the counter for free.
Beyond being an awesome cafe, they are AMAZING for catering and take-out. They did the cupcakes for my wedding and wowed so many people. They also do custom cakes and have done numerous of my friend's weddings and I always go to them on birthdays or special occasions.
Oh, and their tiramisu is fantastic. I've never had better tiramisu.

Best cozy vegan place in SLC! - Edit
I love this place. I live aaalll the way in Provo and I've already eaten here 3 times, and I'm going again tonight! It's a really nice atmosphere, cozy indoor or outdoor seating, couches, brightly lit, really nice girls who are super accomodating and honest (she was like "DON'T GET THE MAC AND CHEESE TODAY it's weird for some reason today" haha.
Read morePros: Taste, Nice workers, Atmosphere
Cons: I can't eat it every day :)

Love it! - Edit
City Cakes says that they are a traditional and vegan bakery, but anytime that I have been there, they only have vegan baked goods in their case. They also serve vegan soft serve, and vegan mac & cheeze. Their Sweet Potato Pecan Muffins are incredible! They also have multiple choices (soy, almond, coconut) for your cappucino or latte.
Read morePros: great muffins, multiple non-dairy milk choices

City Cakes - Edit
I really love vegan cupcakes but City Cakes left much to be desired. Too much frosting. I really want to love this place as much as other people do but it just doesn't do it for me. Everything tastes vegan which may be good for some, but not good enough for me. I do like the atmosphere and it's close proximity to Channon Thai.

Eh. - Edit
I personally think that Cakewalk is a better bakery, and it's all vegan. The owner of City Cakes is a wonderful lady, one of the nicest I've ever met, and the baked goods ARE tasty, with the lemon coconut cake being a standout. However, I think their lunch/dinner foods leave something to be desired, and I have heard from more than one person that their vegan goods are not completely vegan. I just think that it's because they're uninformed, not that they're being intentionally malicious. Again, I personally prefer Cakewalk, but I wouldn't thumb my nose at City Cakes.
Read morePros: Location, Tasty
Cons: Not vegan?
