For those who have special dietary needs, or those who are a bit more health conscious than the average dessert connoisseur, Orange County offers vegan, gluten-free and organic bakeries. Don’t worry, while these shops skip some of the staple ingredients for sweets, the flavor and quality of the desserts are not compromised.
VEGAN: The Donuttery
The Donuttery in Huntington Beach is not only known for its huge selection of donuts, it’s also gained popularity for carrying dozens of vegan donut flavors to choose from. While most stores who offer alternative desserts carry only one or two selections, this donut shop is a vegan’s paradise.
