Dulce Vegan Bakery & Cafe in Kirkwood has reopened after renovating its space to add a new counter, more seating, streamlining the kitchen, and sprucing up the decor. The bakery serves both breakfast and lunch daily with an expanded menu that includes plant-based sweet treats, sandwiches with veggies,vegan soups, salads topped with quinoa and nutty Parmesan, and more.
Dulce Vegan is one of the few spots that uses almond, coconut, hemp, and soy milk in their baked goods as well as having them available for coffee and tea. It is exciting to see so many gluten-free options labeled on their menu including homemade English muffins, scones, granola, and soup.
I was invited in to sample some of their new cuisine and color me impressed. The owners
have cracked the code when it comes to textures. I got to sample the chia bowl – chia pudding topped with homemade strawberry compote, granola and whipped coconut cream. I normally can’t stand chia pudding because the texture it too ‘bumpy’ and odd, but not anymore. Dulce Vegan has turned me into a chia pudding lover and it has everything to do with how the crunchy/chewy granola compliments the creamy/bumpy chia pudding. The homemade whipped coconut cream is also delicious.
I also sampled the roasted cauliflower ‘cheese’ soup, which I couldn’t stop eating. Salty, creamy, nutty and drinkable, this soup is perfect 
on its own, but I would love to pair it with pasta, use it in a casserole, and dip in chips and/or veggies. It is so hard to find vegan soups that taste this good, so I hope they will start selling it by the quart and let me stock up.
Dulce Vegan also makes gluten-free sweet treats, like chewy ginger cookies topped with homemade marshmallow topping, cupcakes, cake, and much more. Again, the textures and flavors are on point and delicious. And – they are serving vegan gelato from Revolution Gelato in four flavors. Made from coconut cream and cashews, it is rumored to taste better than the ‘real’ thing.
Located at 1994 Hosea L. Williams Dr. NE, Atlanta, GA 30317, Dulce Vegan’s daily hours are Wednesday through Friday, 7:30 am– 4 pm and Saturday and Sunday
