It all started at the end of 2017.
After years of chasing everything but her own dreams, our founder, Ashley, had enough. She decided that for the first time in 23 years, she was going to make a new years resolution: she was going to make 2018 the best year yet. She picked up her life and moved to Brooklyn, became vegan for the love of animals (goodbye meat and dairy), and started VBF in her small, Brooklyn apartment. Vegan.Brooklyn.Foodie. was made out of love, passion and determination.
Tell us about the bakery Vegan Brooklyn Foodie: VBF is an 100% vegan online bakery that specializes in #veganfoodporn. Baked goods are all made in small batches, made to order and homemade. I am a self-taught baker that doesn't specialize in fru-fru presentation but really focuses on the item looking #foodporn worthy and tasting EVEN better. Our hope is to reach as many VEGANS and NON VEGANS to show them that transitioning to a VEGAN diet doesn't mean saying goodbye to those #cheatday foods. We believe in a #treatyoself lifestyle while teaching others to lead a cruelty-free and plant-based diet (with a cookie in each hand of course!).

My package hasn't arrived yet: UGH gotta love parcel. Thankfully every purchase we administer a tracking number. So before you panic...check FedEx tracking online!...then panic
How should I warm up your cookies: We would LOVE all our cookies to arrive HOT&WARM&GOOEY. Unfortunately, it is pretty unrealistic for a cookie to stay warm in three days of travel! Therefore we undercook our cookies which allows you to pop them in the microwave for 20-30 seconds...boom HOT&WARM&GOOEY.
Are your products GLUTEN FREE? The bold answer is NO. We do not make any gluten free products however we do do modifications for those avoiding gluten for a different lifestyle...however if you have a diagnosable disease we can direct you to another small business:)
