Delicious!

Besides a wide range of baked sweets they also offered that day a soup, a pasta salad and savory baked goods like sausage roll, haggis roll, macaroni pie, pizza etc. Everything incl. the Coffee was delicious and the staff very helpful and friendly.

So much to choose from

We were excited to visit and weren’t disappointed. The variety was unbelievable and everything seemed fairly priced so we got to try lots of things. We’d definitely visit if we were in the area again.

Couldn't Recommend More

Four of us visited this bakery this morning, by chance on the way elsewhere. I am so pleased we stopped in. The staff were kind, informative and super helpful. We were allowed to try one of the butteries free of charge and told about their vast array of products. I had the raspberry danish and it was delicious. However, everything eaten across my group was thoroughly enjoyed. Definitely don't miss this!!

Pros: Vast array of products, Kind, attentive staff

I don't know. She went for a walk and ate a vegan butter bagel box. She refueses to discuss where this is as I could not find said establishment on here!

Possibly best vegan bakery in UK

Finding a vegan pastry is a rarity. A fully vegan bakery is pure heaven! The staff are very friendly and helpful, the array of pastries, sweet and savoury(!) and breads is wider than some regular bakeries. If you are in Aberdeen you need to pop by.

Pros: Apricot Danish, Cinnamon buns, Almond croissant

Best macaroni pies

The macaroni pies are delicious! The best place to get them when there are so few options for vegan macaroni pies now. Good selection of baked goods too and friendly staff!

Pros: Good food, Friendly staff

Fab find

I found Vegan Bay Baker when I find myself in Aberdeen unexpectedly and needed something to eat.
What a fantastic find thanks to Happy Cow! There was a huge selection of bread and so many cakes. My first battenberg since going vegan! I wish I lived closer so I could go more often.

Pros: Huge selection of goodies, Very cheap!

Would come back any time!

I went to buy baked goods twice. We tried the almond croissant, strawberry treat, cinnamon roll, raspberry/white chocolate scone and the chocolate chip cookies.
And I don’t lie when I say everything was not only affordable, but also soooo delicious.
Definitely recommend!!

Pros: Prices, Wide variety , Friendly staff

Believe the reviews, this place is a banger

Incredible selection of all-vegan treats, both sweet and savoury, at great prices. Their sweet pastries in particular are incredible. Haven't had this much fun in a bakery for a long time. They also do coffee, proper bread, cake baking, and a few fresh dishes with space inside to enjoy it all. Highly recommended.

Pros: All vegan, Loads of options , Amazing quality and price

So much to choose from

One of the few things I miss about my pre-vegan days is being able to walk into a bakery and choose absolutely anything. The excitement is real when you walk into this shop and realise that you can do that! So many delicious options to choose from, I've never had anything I didn't like! The focaccia is the best.

What a great bakery!

I loove loove all the variety of goodies, the bread is amazing! Sweets are also lovely, sometimes a bit too sugary/sweet but that might be my personal preference. Overall a blessing for Aberdeen!

Pros: All vegan, Very good prices

Food perfection

This is the absolute best thing that's happened to Aberdeen on a culinary level for vegans and non-vegans alike. Vegan Bay Baker brings delicious but also very well priced pastries, pies, rolls and coffee to the city.

And with their wide selection of options I assure you, you will have to visit often to run out of new pastries to try.

10/10 a must visit for any foodie in the city.

Pros: Friendly staff, Incredible bread AND pastries, Low prices

Yummy tarts & Scrummy biscuits

I’ve tried a few of their baked goods and all are delicious. My favourites so far are apple tart and viennese swirl. They are so lovely buttery and light. Some other items are nice too but personally I feel some are a tad too sweet. I’m looking forward to to try some of their gluten-free items too. Also, cheerful and friendly people and very attractive prices! Will definitely be back. 😊

Great vegan bakery

One of the best vegan bakery I know. There’s so much to choose from and I feel like the variety changes very often. The price is definitely worth the quality. The one aspect I don’t like, is the pushy staff. I always feel rushed when I’m just looking to figure out what I want. But when you’ve got anquestion, they’re very happy to help.

Baking genius

If I lived in Aberdeen I’d be here every day. It’s probably just as well that I don’t 🤣 We had a macaroni cheese pie, leek and potato pie, Viennese whirl, almond croissant, butteries, and also bought a whole Battenberg. Basically, we really went for it. It was all delicious. Prices were fab too. I think back on that day with fond memories. it really was superb 👌🏼

Pros: It’s all vegan , The guy is a baking genuis, Nice team in the shop
