It is hard to find a vegan bakery so my friend and I were excited to visit. Tiny but you get everything, pasties to drinks. Understanding it’s because of ingredients but it is slightly expensive in general.🍩🩷✨Donuts are like mini cakes! It was moist with great flavors. My friend preferred the coffee-chocolate one, and I loved the raspberry one.Chocolate cookie was chewy. My friend loved it as well but I personally didn’t like the taste of sweet rice.🥥☕️❤️‍🔥Coconut cold brew was my VIP tho! Nice and balanced flavor! Housemade almond milk was creamy and not too sweet too! (positive) - Julia H

What is Worth Choosing

For first-time visitors or loyal New York patrons, there are a few items that embody the quality and spirit of Sixteen Mill Bakeshop and are highly recommended.

For a beverage that perfectly complements their sweets, the

Coconut cold brew

is a VIP choice. It is praised for its creamy, balanced flavor and is a testament to the quality of their housemade, plant-based milk alternatives. Pair this with a treat for a perfect morning or afternoon pick-me-up.
