The cakes, bombs and confections of Vegan Treats are available in more than 100 cafés and restaurants ranging from New York City to D.C. and Virginia; most are consumed by regular folk whose animal ethics extend to dessert. But among the rank-and-file are star-powered vegans who flock to baker Danielle Konya’s shop in Bethlehem to stock up on their cruelty-free favorites.
Scope the boldface names with sweet, vegan teeth: Alicia Silverstone, Daryl Hannah, Joan Jett, Rory Freedman, presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich, The Beastie Boys, Moby, AFI, Bayside, Kathleen Hannah (Bikini Kill, Le Tigre) and H20.
Derek Grant of Alkaline Trio gets so down with Vegan Treats that he composed an ode to devouring cakes/jingle for Danielle. Hear it on AltPress.com here.
And visit Danielle’s sick new Web site, vegantreats.com.

I am not even close to vegan, but I would eat these desserts over pretty much any others.
I live not too far from their Bethlehem, PA store. Their stuff is AMAZING!
