Sunflower Sweets, a vegan bakery specializing in pastries and breads without animal products, opened its doors last week in Williamsburg. The bakery offers a range of items including croissants, muffins, and breads made with alternative flours and plant-based ingredients. It aims to serve local residents seeking allergen-friendly and sustainable food choices.
The owners, longtime Williamsburg residents, have experience in food service and developed recipes over the past two years. They chose the neighborhood because of its growing market for plant-based eateries. Hours are Tuesday through Sunday, with a limited selection available for online ordering. Early customer feedback has noted the bakery's careful balance of flavor and texture.
