Worth the drive!

I was greeted by the nicest woman who helped me choose the quesadillas as I was not super hungry but preferred savory over sweet. They were full of flavor and very satisfying. The sweet treats all looked really good as well. I’ll be back to try more!

Pros: Exceptional service, Clean environment , All vegan options!

Perfect 10/10

Best food I've ever had! Got to try the lasagna, burrito, and their new ice cream. Would order them all again, the cheesy sauces were 10/10. Perfect ice cream texture, creamy not rock hard like other vegan options. Super friendly family, had an inspiring convo with Mika about community. Great location with good music, nice lighting, and clean environment, will be returning soon to try the whole menu!

5+++ Stars

Firstly, the warm welcome and hospitality we received made V&M an instant favorite. The food and drinks were outstanding. We had the iced coffee, green and orange juices, chocolate and cookie butter donuts, avocado toast, and breakfast burrito. The donuts were the best we have ever had. The main courses were mouth watering delicious. I would make a special trip to Winter Haven just to eat at V&M Bakery.

Pros: Hospitality, Donuts, Avocado toast

Excellent sweet and savory vegan food in the heart of downtown Winter Garden!!

This delicious and fun vegan establishment in the heart of downtown Winter Garden is so good! I found it while on a day trip from Orlando to a state park in Sebring and coming across a vegan restaurant on the road was such a pleasant surprise. The savory options were varied and creative, as were the deserts. I’ll definitely be taking the quick 45ish minute drive from Orlando to come back!

We ordered nachos and a calzone. Very good! Service was prompt and the owner is a gem. Her mother brought us samples of the cabbage dish and veggie rice. Both were very good! We shared a butter donut🥰. We bought a loaf of peach bread to bring home. Highly recommended! Coming soon vegan ice cream 🥰

Delicious!

We were pleasantly surprised to find a vegan bakery in Winter Haven offering breakfast and lunch options. Their special of the day was a Legim/Legume dish (I believe it was Haitian inspired) and it was one of the best dishes I’ve had at a restaurant (vegan or otherwise) in recent memory. ‘Mama’ came out and told us her secret to such amazingly delicious rice was to wash it extra thoroughly prior to cooking… just like I do at home! We were so glad to have stopped and met the two lovely ladies who run this place. Not to be missed if you’re visiting Winter Haven!

Can’t wait to go back!

I can’t say enough good things about this place. Food, baked goods and service are impeccable! We drove 1 hour to get there and we can’t wait to try many more things from the menu! My favorites so far are the lasagna and blueberry french toast pastry thing!
Mika and her family are so lovely!

A wonderful experience

Mika and her Mama warmly welcomed us from the moment we walked through the door. This gracious hospitality continued throughout our 2-hour visit. We were catching up with family, and they encouraged us to stay as long as we wanted.

The juices and coffee were fabulous. The entrees were all generous portions and vegans and non- vegans in our group were all extremely impressed.

We plan to go back the next time we are in the area.

Pros: Good portion sizes, Friendly , Enjoyable dining experience

Great Vegan choices locally

Very friendly staff - I didn’t ask her name, I think she may have been the owner. We chatted over our love of vegan food, and she was very kind and accepting that I’m not fully vegan. Quick service too.
I brought my mom who is hesitant to eat vegan and she herself even said the beef empanada was very good - I liked the crust especially.
The vegan vanilla donut wasn’t my absolute favorite, but it wasn’t bad. We also got some fresh juices. I mixed the greens one and the carrot one and it was very good. My mom got the one with coconut. I was not a fan because I don’t prefer coconut but that’s just a personal preference not that something wasn’t good about the juices.
I’ll be back for sure.

Pros: Wide variety of vegan choices, Very yummy, Quick & Personable staff

Cons: Expensive

Best cinnamon rolls!

We stopped by on our way from AMI to Orlando and are so glad we did! My mother and I each enjoyed a cinnamon roll, our daughter ate a colorful donut with all kinds of sprinkles, and my husband had a biscuit sandwich. The coffee was excellent. All delicious.

Pros: Very friendly staff

Best Donuts in Central Florida

I’m so grateful for Victor and Mika as there are so few vegan option when I come visit my sister in Winter Haven and they by far have the best vegan food in the area. Love that they opened a storefront, so much easier to enjoy now! They have the best vegan donuts I’ve tried and their churros are perfect and fill the void left by the lack of vegan churros at theme parks. I’ve tried the pizza rolls which are good. The Quesadilla and Mexican tacos are both delicious. The empanadas are my favorite and they are amazing. Their roasted potatoes are seasoned so well! Be sure to get there earlier in the day as they’re not open for dinner and sometimes they run out of their full menu.

Pros: Completely vegan with GF options, Delicious food, Super friendly

Cons: Don’t always have everything on their menu, Wish they were open for dinner , Website could be better organized/clear

Tasty!

This was really cute bakery with food options as well. The owners/staff are very friendly and super nice!
We ordered several items. Including the Nirvana oats, avocado toast, carrot cake, cheese cake, and oatmeal whopper pie.
We had favorite and not so favorite items.
I think the overall least favorite was the cheesecake, but we are thinking it may have been because of the thaw. It was given to us frozen and we placed it in the fridge to eat a couple hours later and the texture was off, like crumbles tofu which wasn’t super pleasant. The avocado toast was tasty, but have to be honest and say that the last couple bites were heavy. I felt there was a little too much oil on the bottom of the bread and it had soaked into it.
The oatmeal pie my husband said was amazing and he wouldn’t change anything about it!
The Nirvana Oats (a GF baked oatmeal with homemade granola and fruit) was filling and tasty. I think what I enjoyed most about it is the fact that it wasn’t overly sweet.
The overall winner was that carrot cake. Sooo good, wonderfully seasoned, and just the right amount of sweetness without being nauseating.
Overall, good spot to get delicious vegan treats of all kinds.
