Black Cat Vegan Bakery

My family loves coming to Foley (weekly) to visit Black Cat Vegan! The pastries are delicious. I knew Lindsey years ago when I was a wedding planner. I always used her for clients that had diet restrictions. Her cakes were stunning, people could not believe it was vegan or gluten free. She also handled all of my client’s meals for their guests with diet restrictions. Instead of a vegan guest having a sad salad at the reception, she would create an entire gourmet meal for them!!! She handled all of my last minute requests while she had a child going through chemo. When I heard she was opening in Foley, I could not wait to be a loyal patron of her shop. It’s tucked away in the cutest alley!

The food was so amazing, I had to drive back from Orange beach the next day! The chocolate chunk cookies will please ANY cookie lover. The chai cinnamon rolls are quite sweet but absolutely delectable—share if you don’t want all that sugar to yourself, and grab a savory treat as well! Unfortunately for me, that carne asada burrito was the best I’ve had in years. This is unfortunate because I live hours away…Really though, it blew my mind how amazing everything was. The staff was so friendly and warm, and even though they were busy they took time when they could to say hello and talk. The experience was great, really. I would highly recommend the lunch to anyone. I also had the choc chunk brown sugar butter (? Something like that) cookie, the chamomile walnut cookie, a pan au chocolat, and a chai cinnamon roll. And also a dill pickle pizza focaccia. (Not all at once, but once I tried them all I had to get doubles to take home). I was ready to hate the focaccia and after one bite, I resented my friend for making me share with her. Truly amazing. Vegans & non-vegans alike will absolutely enjoy this place. If you’re in the area and not visiting Black Cat, you’re seriously missing out. Make sure to visit early, as I suspect they sell out most days. Next time I’ll be there bright and early for that bacon & asparagus quiche. Oh how wonderful it looked!! Check their IG for pictures & menus (updated weekly I believe) if you’re gluten free—you can also ask at the counter. Also, I didn’t get a chance to try any of the drinks, but the people next to me were raving about how delicious theirs were. No matter how far you are, this is worth the trip.
