We visited the LA location twice on our visit in 2019.  You can visit their location or order online for delivery nationwide.  She has been all over TV and the Press.  We found this spot from doing Yelp searches.

Simply one of the BEST Vegan bakery we have found

Chocolate Cup Cake with Vanilla frosting ($5.75) Delicious, moist, no overly sweet.

Donut ($4.75) Chocolate was wet and moist. Soft cake inside.

Chocolate Chip Cookie ($2.25) hit he spot. Not hard, fairly flexible.

Bakery sink ($6.95) is a rare find. they take layers of everything and put it in a cup.  Buy it if they still have em. No pictures of it on yelp!
