Vegans Treats Allentown, PA

Vegan Treats

Before Beyond Meat arrived in fast-food restaurants everywhere, before dairy-free milks lined grocery store shelves, and before much of the Valley knew what the word “vegan” meant, there was Vegan Treats. This specialty patisserie has been serving delectable desserts to vegans and meat-eaters alike for over 20 years.

It’s so popular with the compassionate crowd that restaurants across the tri-state area and as far as Washington, D.C., carry peanut butter bombs, doughnuts, and cheesecakes from this Bethlehem bakery.

What makes Vegan Treats such a hit?

From the beginning, owner Danielle Konya has focused on creating the best-tasting desserts—that just happen to also be vegan. When you walk into the bakery, you’ll see a case filled with things like:

• An assortment of personal-size cakes, cheesecakes, and brownies
• Sticky buns the size of your head
• Traditional whoopie pies
• Doughnuts
• Cannoli

There’s even a soft ice cream machine with rotating flavors. Favorites include peanut butter, brownie batter, and speculoos.

What does vegan mean, anyway?

Veganism is a lifestyle that seeks to reduce needless animal suffering as much as possible. When it comes to creating delectable desserts, this means avoiding things like eggs, milk, and honey—all things that come from animals.

Many people ask what Konya uses instead, but she keeps her recipes a closely guarded secret. Our best guess? They’re made with a combination of sugar and magic. A large portion of these offerings are also gluten-free. This makes Vegan Treats a popular destination for gluten-intolerant customers as well, whether they’re vegan or not. Just like everything else this bakery offers, you can hardly tell the difference between what you’re eating and a traditional cake.

In fact, non-vegan customers have called it the best birthday cake they’ve ever eaten, vegan or not. Lehigh Valley residents have even voted Vegan Treats as the Best Dessert in the Valley, a powerful testament to how delicious its desserts are.

Is it really as good as it sounds?
