Whole Earth Bakery:
- a 100%-vegan establishment
- vast selection of gluten-free, oil-free, and wheat-free items
- no refined sugars used
The venue, itself, defines the meaning of hole in the wall. Don’t let that deter you, as the food is delicious. Brownies, scones, turnovers, cakes, pies… I only wish I could’ve sampled more of the fare. Luckily, I successfully smuggled a vanilla cheesecake cupcake through security. (The seitan I tried to bring back was another story; they made me empty my bag so they could scan it individually. We all know that seitan is the stuff of terrorists, right? Well, that and liquids over 4 ounces. In the end, they did let me keep the seitan. Thank you La Guardia Airport Security!)
A few days later, back in the comfort of my Texas home, I constructed a lovely little second breakfast around the flourless cheesecake cupcake:
The apple-juice-sweetened (?!) tofu cupcake was divine–not too sweet, but perfectly soft and full of flavor.
I’m so checking out that bakery in my next NYC trip. Thanks for the tip!! Cupcakes for breakfast..love it!
I don’t even like cheesecake, but that picture has my mouth watering! Looks deeeelish! I love your pictures on this post…you’re so cute Miss Katie! 🙂 I just caught up with your previous posts about various diets and I wanted to say that I thought they all were written so wonderfully…you’re an inspiration girl! Have a great day!! 🙂
You enjoyed NYC in the most delicious way! And somehow you managed to try a bunch of things I’ve never done, and I even LIVE here! But then again, I’ve never even gone to the top of the Empire State Building…

Glad to see you’re doing well!
ha ha. did you pronounce it “satan” for added effect?
i’m hoping this new no-liquids rule will finally be the catalyst for an airline food revolution. i had to guzzle my green juice before passing security on my last trip because i didn’t have a prescription for it.
That cheesecake looks amazing! I must remake it 😀
