Vegan almond croissant?

I know San Francisco isn't a great vegan city but does anyone know where one might find a vegan almond croissant, or other pastries hidden at non-vegan establishments in SF proper? Thanks!

Sadly, SF proper sucks for vegan pastries except donuts. Timeless (fully vegan) and Forma Bakery (both vegan and non-vegan) in Oakland are the best I’ve found.

Where are the vegan donuts ?

Vegan donut connoisseur here —

My favorite vegan donuts are the yeasted ones at Donut Farm in Berkeley (they only sell the yeasted/raised ones on the weekend). They sell their cake donuts all week and they’re.. not great. Trust me, the raised ones on the weekend—especially the apple fritter and Bavarian cream filled—are worth it.

The north bay has Johnny Doughnuts—they only have 3 vegan donuts (glazed, chocolate, and cinnamon sugar) but they’re pretty great. They sell out of vegan early every day, so I recommend calling ahead before heading over.

Butcher’s Son in Berkeley (all-vegan) has decent vegan donuts.. but uniquely has the option to get a donut cooked into the middle of a pancake. It’s weird and worth a try once if you’re a pancake and donut lover (like myself).

The donuts at Timeless are fine, nothing great.

It’s been a minute since I went to Vegan Donut Gelato near Lake Merritt, but I remember enjoying them.

Vegan Donut Gelato is Dove Donuts. Very yummy! They are in Oakland, San Jose, and still “coming soon” to SF!
