New York is home to some of my all time favorite vegan restaurants. The fact that they don’t deliver to Florida can be a bit sad sometimes (especially when I was planning my vegan wedding). However, this all changed for me this week. High Hopes Vegan Bakery has some of the best treats (in general, not just “good-for-being-vegan”) I’ve ever had, and best of all – they ship their goodies to you!
I’ve been following Cynthia Huggins (owner of High Hopes Vegan Bakery) on Instagram for a few months now in hopes of another annual New York trip that would include a stop to see her. A couple of weeks back though, she mentioned that she was looking for bloggers to share her treats with. This is when I realized that no trip was needed. They ship. Life complete.
Cynthia sent me a few of her vegan chocolate chip cookies to test out. The thing is, I don’t think this is the item I would have chosen for myself because vegan cookies have been a gamble in my past. They’re usually too dry and grainy or super crumbly (and not in a good way). I think I had just lost hope for them all together.
However, the verdict on these High Hopes Vegan Bakery Chocolate Chip Cookies: I’m legitimately blown away. As I said, I’ve always had a hard time finding non-made-at-home vegan sweets that aren’t a bit on the dry side. But these cookies were the perfect balance of deliciousness: not too thick or too thin, a tiny bit crisp on the outside, soft and chewy inside, pair perfectly with vanilla almond milk and the chocolate chips were still soft and melty without heating them up!
Needless to say, I’m pretty impressed and will DEFINITELY be a repeat offender to these vegan sweets. The next High Hopes Items on my hit list:
- Vegan Cinnamon Buns (whaaaaat?!)
- Vegan Donuts (I’ve been in search of these since my vegan pregnancy)
- Vegan Peanut butter filled cupcakes (because who doesn’t want the cake version of a vegan Reese’s Cup?)
