A while back I came across a flier from a vegan baker located right here in Santa Clarita. The next day I tracked this bakery down; the day after that I was eating some yummy vegan cookies and cake. Grace & Mittie’s is not only a completely vegan bakery, but also everything is gluten-free while maintaining a high standard of quality by using wholesome ingredients.
Not a walk-in store, actually I haven’t even been to the location but the baker Taura was nice enough to deliver some goods for me to try.
I first tasted the Blueberry Cheesecake cookie; my initial reaction was, WOW! The German Chocolate Chip cookie, the Oatmeal Raisin & Cranberry — both delicious as well. Come on, vegan and gluten-free? YES! Everything on the menu, everything they bake is vegan and gluten-free. Not just cookies but pies, cobblers, brownies, truffles and of course cakes.
Speaking of cake, the one I tasted was pretty awesome.
So now the question is; where can we get them? Well, here’s the thing… It does look like you can order from their website, so that is one option. Remember this is a professional bakery and not a store front. While Grace & Mittie’s do distribute to some locations such as Native Foods in West Wood, none of these places are in Santa Clarita. At the very least I think Whole Foods — Valencia should carry vegan, gluten-free deserts from a local vegan and gluten-free baker. I will be sending requests to our local Whole Foods Market for Grace & Mittie’s deserts, and I think you guys should do the same. Helping Grace & Mittie’s not only helps a friendly, local vegan baker but it helps all other vegans in Santa Clarita along with those who have gluten sensitivities.
Until then, you can check out the Grace & Mittie’s website and place an order, or even give them a call. Taura is very friendly and you will not be disappointed by the desserts.

[…] Next year, we should have a proper birthday party with local vegan catering and entertainment. I even know where to get the birthday cake. […]
Thanks so much for the post. I am soooooo delighted that you liked the desserts. I am trying my very best to get into places like Whole Foods, but it’s such a process. I will let you know as things progress. Thanks again for the lovely post.

is there any way to order these and come pick them up? Or order them through the mail? I would love to serve them for my Christmas parties.
Can I order and have it shipped to me? I live in Ohio and I can’t find a vegan bakery. I just got my test results back and I am allergic to eggs, cow’s milk and peanuts.
Write your address somewhere or a phone nber we did not come AGAIN because we don’t know where you are. If you bake a cake and no one can find it does it taste good? Who cares
Unfortunately i think Grace & Mittie’s went out of business some time ago. Their cakes and cookies were amazing, but it’s a very competitive business out there in the realm of vegan bakers. We do have a local cupcake baker here in Santa Clarita that sells vegan and gluten free items every Thursday and if for a special occasion they can make you a custom order for any day of the week. I wrote about them on the blog; check out Bake You Happy.
do they have a phone number i can’t get their web site anymore?
