Vegan Danish Bakery

What is Vegan Danish Bakery? Perched on Queen Street West between Brock and Dufferin, Vegan Danish Bakery delivers Scandinavian pastry craft completely re-engineered without dairy, eggs, or gelatin. The cozy Parkdale room balances vintage tearoom elegance—crystal chandeliers and dark wood tables—with an easygoing counter-service setup. It functions as a relaxed daytime retreat where west-enders grab afternoon coffee, crisp layered pastries, and savory smørrebrød-style lunch plates.

Vegan Danish Bakery Menu & What to Order Glass display cases showcase flaky custard-and-fruit danishes, laminated chocolate croissants, rich butter tarts, and celebrated multi-layer cakes like their beloved strawberry shortcake. For lunch, order the traditional Danish vegetable pâté sandwich served open-faced on sourdough with braised red cabbage, house remoulade, and dill, or go for the warm tomato-arugula cheese melt. Pair any pastry with an oat milk latte or espresso for a completely plant-based Scandinavian fika.

Know Before You Go Seating is walk-in only with orders taken at the front counter, and lines can form on weekend afternoons when takeaway cake pickups peak. The cafe maintains afternoon hours from 12:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. daily, making it ideal for lunch or an afternoon snack rather than an early morning breakfast run. Street parking on Queen West is scarce, so taking the 501 Queen streetcar or cycling is your best route.
