Sugar Beat Sweets: Opening soon.

​There are a handful of vegan bakers in San Francisco. One such vendor, Sugar Beat Sweets, will be the first vegan storefront bakery in town when it finally makes the leap from online into brick and (dairy-free) mortar.

Melisser of SBS (aka the Urban Housewife) told SFoodie that she and her three partners have secured a location and are awaiting permits before announcing it or the neighborhood. They hope to be open by the end of the year.

Marble cheesecake, cinnamon roll, snickerdoodle and strawberry shortcake cupcakes.

​We raided the SBS booth at last weekend's World Veg Festival, but unfortunately not quickly enough to snatch up the last two s'mores cheesecake bars (made with the ultra-convincing vegan marshmallows made by Chicago's Dandies); the "regular" marble cheesecake bars definitely sufficed, though. We had previously enjoyed the strawberry shortcake and snickerdoodle cupcakes, both piled high with frosting, and severely underestimated our craving by only purchasing the two.

Ditto for only buying a single cinnamon roll, an instant winner with its rich glaze and I-can't-believe-it's-not-butter dough. Keep your fingers crossed that the permitting process is smooth and swift, because we sure don't want to wait too long for another one.
