Flour & Fig, a new vegan bakery, opened on April 8 at 123 Orchard Street in the Lower East Side. The bakery offers a range of plant-based pastries and breads, including croissants, muffins, and sourdoughs. Owner and baker Nina Patel emphasizes allergen-conscious recipes and locally sourced ingredients.
The Lower East Side has seen a rise in vegan and health-focused food businesses in recent years. Flour & Fig aims to cater to both longtime residents and a younger demographic interested in alternative diets.
Hours are Tuesday through Sunday, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. The bakery does not currently offer seating but plans to expand its product line in the coming months.
