Via La Patisserie Panagias

For anyone vegan, lactose intolerant, allergic to gluten, fasting, or simply looking for dairy-free alternatives, these places can meet your dessert cravings! So in the spirit of World Vegan Month, take a look at this selection of quality vegan dessert spots that deliver right to your house.

1. Panagias

     

Via La Patisserie Panagias

Panagias is the definition of ask, and you shall receive. If it can be made vegan, they’ll make it. All you have to do is ask! Kahk, cake, tea biscuits, and more are available with the option of customising your order! However, this flexibility can be a bit pricey, which varies greatly depending on how expensive the ingredients are or how much customisation you want. Some of their appetising options include almond cake, doughnuts, or mini-mixed berry tarts. Panagias is also able to make orders gluten-free and sugar-free if necessary!

For those who want to order, reach out to +2012 818 414 54, and their responsive and helpful customer service team is sure to assist. Peruse their Facebook or Instagram for inspiration on which of their many options to try first! Otherwise, you can also find them at 27 Abdel Moniem Sanad St., behind Genena Mall.

 

2. Kaju

Via Kaju

This brand is a supermarket staple for vegans and non-vegans alike. While their products are plant-based and celiac-friendly, everyone can enjoy the selection of healthy desserts Kaju provides. With tiramisu, chocolate truffles, and amazing ice cream flavours ranging from ginger to cookies and cream, there is much to enjoy from the brand. They also offer savoury vegan products, such as their beetroot or mushroom burgers, cheeses, and pizza.

 

While you can find them at 4 Al Sheikh Al Marsafi Street, Zamalek, they are only open at this branch on Saturdays from 10 am – 4 pm. As such, most opt to order online or go to any of these affiliate stores that offer their products.

3. Ninos

Via Ninosegypt

Nino’s is a quaint, family-run bakery that started with a mother-daughter duo’s passion for baking. They specialise in cakes and cake pops, and they can customise them to order. As a whole, their selection is always full of fun, creative seasonal designs. Their vegan flavours are chocolate, chocolate peanut butter, and vanilla. Their adorable bento cakes look particularly fun and tasty!

 

They offer delivery daily but depending on delivery and availability, you might need to give a two-day heads up. Their website is a straightforward platform to order from, though if you have any questions feel free to reach out to them at +201023147888.

4. Simonds

Via Simonds

This iconic bakery has been around since 1878, and the menu has certainly not stagnated. To those unaware, Simonds offers vegan pastries, cakes, cookies, oriental sweets, and everything in between. While some of these can be made to order, on any given day, you can walk out with vegan desserts, including konafa, petit fours, breadsticks, and croissants. Of course, anyone who wants this on a larger scale could always try their catering service.

 

To make an order, reach out to their hotline at 16264 or stop by any of their many branches in Maadi, Zamalek, Downtown Cairo, Sheikh Zayed, and New Cairo.

5. La Casa Verde

Via Lacasaverdebakery

La Casa Verde is a quaint online bakery specialising in home-baked goods. Their products are dairy-free, and some are gluten and sugar-free as well. Their selection is delicious, including loaves, muffins, cookies, brownies, doughnuts, and even babka! For anyone interested, they also offer catering for events.
