100% Vegan Baker

Great bakery. Advise emailing them night before and they will put aside for you to collect as they do sell out quickly. Macaroni Pies are my favourite but to be honest every pie I have had from them has been amazing. I buy a few and freeze to have when I need some comfort food. Aberdeen buttries (morning rolls) are good too.

Pros: Pies and cakes and morning rolls, Can pre order , Can orders special cakes for celebrations

Cons: Can sell out and close early

Amazing

My first visit here, having a quick stop before the train back to Glasgow. I was delighted they still had food left, and I bought bags of scones, doughnuts, pies, and Aberdeen butteries. A fantastic selection of goods, and I could eat it ALL! They also said they'd put items away with a pre-order if I was back again and not in til late. I would 100% recommend prioritising a visit here.

Awesome Vegan Croissants

They have nailed a really good vegan croissant. The butteries are awesome too. As are the donuts but that is all I tried. So many options to choose from. Highly recommend you try this place out if you’re around and loved baked goods. I do and I loved it!!! ❤️

Delicious!

Besides a wide range of baked sweets they also offered that day a soup, a pasta salad and savory baked goods like sausage roll, haggis roll, macaroni pie, pizza etc. Everything incl. the Coffee was delicious and the staff very helpful and friendly.

So much to choose from

We were excited to visit and weren’t disappointed. The variety was unbelievable and everything seemed fairly priced so we got to try lots of things. We’d definitely visit if we were in the area again.

Couldn't Recommend More

Four of us visited this bakery this morning, by chance on the way elsewhere. I am so pleased we stopped in. The staff were kind, informative and super helpful. We were allowed to try one of the butteries free of charge and told about their vast array of products. I had the raspberry danish and it was delicious. However, everything eaten across my group was thoroughly enjoyed. Definitely don't miss this!!

Pros: Vast array of products, Kind, attentive staff

I don't know. She went for a walk and ate a vegan butter bagel box. She refueses to discuss where this is as I could not find said establishment on here!

Possibly best vegan bakery in UK

Finding a vegan pastry is a rarity. A fully vegan bakery is pure heaven! The staff are very friendly and helpful, the array of pastries, sweet and savoury(!) and breads is wider than some regular bakeries. If you are in Aberdeen you need to pop by.

Pros: Apricot Danish, Cinnamon buns, Almond croissant

The macaroni pies are delicious! The best place to get them when there are so few options for vegan macaroni pies now. Good selection of baked goods too and friendly staff!

Pros: Good food, Friendly staff

Fab find

I found Vegan Bay Baker when I find myself in Aberdeen unexpectedly and needed something to eat.
What a fantastic find thanks to Happy Cow! There was a huge selection of bread and so many cakes. My first battenberg since going vegan! I wish I lived closer so I could go more often.

Pros: Huge selection of goodies, Very cheap!

Would come back any time!

And I don’t lie when I say everything was not only affordable, but also soooo delicious.
Definitely recommend!!

Believe the reviews, this place is a banger

Incredible selection of all-vegan treats, both sweet and savoury, at great prices. Their sweet pastries in particular are incredible. Haven't had this much fun in a bakery for a long time. They also do coffee, proper bread, cake baking, and a few fresh dishes with space inside to enjoy it all. Highly recommended.

Pros: All vegan, Loads of options , Amazing quality and price

So much to choose from

One of the few things I miss about my pre-vegan days is being able to walk into a bakery and choose absolutely anything. The excitement is real when you walk into this shop and realise that you can do that! So many delicious options to choose from, I've never had anything I didn't like! The focaccia is the best.
