Welcome to Plant Pastry!

At Plant Pastry, our mission is to create delicious, plant-based delights that will satisfy your cravings. However, we want to take a moment to discuss an important topic: allergies. While we love to cater to everyone, it’s crucial to understand that we are not a certified allergen-free kitchen.

What You Should Be Aware Of

We use tree nuts and nuts such as coconut, almonds, and cashews in a majority of our products. These nuts are essential components of our recipes and contribute to the unique flavors and textures we offer. Additionally, our cooking equipment and surfaces are shared with non-vegan ingredients including eggs, dairy, and seafood.

While we thoroughly wash and use a food-grade sanitizer on equipment and surfaces, there is a small chance of cross-contact with allergens. If you have severe allergies, it's critical to proceed with caution. We strongly encourage anyone with severe allergies to notify our bakers before placing an order. Your safety is our top priority, and we want to ensure you can enjoy our products without worry.

Gluten Awareness

We also offer gluten-free flour in some of our recipes. However, please note that there is gluten present in our kitchen. As with other allergens, if you have a gluten intolerance or allergy, we recommend discussing this with our team prior to ordering. While we strive to support various dietary needs, we cannot guarantee total avoidance of allergens.

Our bakers are more than happy to answer any questions or concerns you may have regarding ingredients. Transparency is key, and we believe you deserve to know exactly what’s in your food.

Final Thoughts

At Plant Pastry, we are passionate about creating plant-based pastries that everyone can enjoy. However, we must also respect the reality of allergens and cross-contamination. It's a shared responsibility, and your input can make a difference. Let’s work together to ensure your experience with us is not only delightful but safe!

Please give us a call or send an email if you have any questions. We want everyone to find joy in our treats while staying safe. Thanks for your understanding and support!
