Vegan Bakery Expands

Vegan bakery Flying Apron opened a new eatery last week in Redmond, Wash. “We thought it would be nice to set up an outpost out of Seattle to make it more convenient for our customers,” says co-owner Erik Chelstad. Customers of the Redmond location can find the same gluten-free, dairy-free, and all-organic favorites that are available at the original establishment in Seattle, such as dark chocolate cupcakes, ginger currant scones, and Russian tea cookies. The bakery also offers salads and savory items, like curried vegetable pockets, to satisfy those without a sweet tooth. Chelstad says, “I’m hoping it continues to develop a character of its own and that people continue to make it part of the community.”
