Brunch was at The Cottage, a beachy-feeling restaurant in the heart of Chestnut Hill. Not too many vegan options grace the menu but they are flexible, so I had some sautéed veggies with some fruit and whole wheat toast. Nothing too exciting but it boasted a nice atmosphere.
Next door a kid's birthday party was going on at Treat, a local cupcake shop. We went in just for a look, and out of curiosity. To my great surprise, not only do they have an adorable concept where you can build your own cupcakes (which these little girls were loving,) they also had 8 different kinds of vegan cupcakes on their bakery schelves!
Cookies 'n Cream, Mint Cookies 'n Cream, Orange You Cute, Haystack, Plain Janes, Pumpkin Pie, Mochaccino and Vanilla Coconut. Decisions decisions!
There were four of us so we got 3 to share and sample: Haystack (a chocolate cake with a vegan mounds bar on top,) Cookies 'n Cream (think Oreo) and the Mochaccino - my favorite. The cakes were all moist (and were warmed) and that coffee-infused frosting was just so yummy and decadent...we honestly couldn't finish them!If you find yourself nearby and craving something sweet, definitely swing by.
