Anybody with a sweet tooth knows to go straight to Montreal's Plateau Mont-Royal neighbourhood whenever they need their fix. But with so many specialty sweetshops on offer, how can a bakery stand out? For Milène, owner and chef at Sophie Sucrée, the answer is simple: Provide health-conscious customers delicious vegan, gluten-free and ecologically responsible desserts.
With increasing demand for products that balance health and indulgence, Sophie Sucrée's lovely Pine Avenue boutique has been buzzing since July of 2013.
This Old Montreal spot is perfect for those looking for some vegan treats. The 10 flavours of cupcakes are all made with 100% plant-based ingredients and many are nut-free and/or gluten-free. The resulting cakes are a little bit healthier than your mainstream treats, but just as delicious.
Sophie Sucrée is a vegan bakery with an amazing selection of cupcakes, cookies, brownies and more. Each treat is an artistic creation that is as beautiful to look at as it is delicious to eat. Owner and baker Milene Laoun uses only fresh, local ingredients and opts for organic options whenever possible. In addition to running the bakery, she also makes custom cakes and hosts special events, high teas and cake decorating classes.
Sophie Sucrée is a lovely pâtisserie where all the baked goods are vegan, plus they offer several gluten-free options - perfect for those with a sweet tooth! The selection of delicacies is frequently renewed with seasonally inspired treats, but thankfully the classics - cupcakes, tarts/pies, scones and cookies - are available at all times. This is a nice destination for reading or working while sipping tea and, above all, for getting some dessert to impress guests after dinner!
