Fatto A Mano Organic Bakery was initially a happy accidental discovery for me. My son and I had gone to lunch a few doors up, and met my husband and daughter in the car. My daughter was eating a croissant and said it was vegan. Which of course meant I was like WHERE FROM. Actually that might have come after GIVE ME SOME NEEEOOW CHILD. We were parked right opposite Fatto A Mano, it was a freezing day and the rain was bucketing down but I did my vegan duty and got drenched in pursuit of croissants. Though there were quite a few great vegan options, I ended up buying a peanut butter choc ball along with a croissant and planned to go back as soon as I could. The croissant was lovely toasted at home later on and the peanut butter ball was peanutty chocolately crispy goodness:
On my second visit, I bought more croissants. These are quite nice, not just bread shaped like croissants. There were also chocolate filled croissants and some apple pies (which I was sorely tempted to get):
There was a chocolate cake and this lovely looking pie:
I couldn’t resist another of the crispy lovely peanut butter balls:
I had a great chat with the staff about aquafaba– gotta love spreading the word!
As well as these goods mentioned above, there were also loaves of bread. You can see the display in the front window. I’ll be heading back for those apple pies 😀

One of my favorite bakeries, that pie is really good
I’ll get it next time 😀
I used to go here a lot more when I started at my current workplace (just around the corner from here) but for some reason haven’t lately. Their pizza slices make a good lunch at about $4 a pop! They didn’t do vegan croissants when I last went, but I have a weak spot for those peanut butter balls. They do a cherry coconut ball as well, but I think the PB is far superior 😉
those PB balls are really good, though next time I’ll see if they have pizza!
