6- My Favorite Vegan Friendly Bakeries (VF)

Most French Bakeries (Boulangeries) will have baguettes, rustic, and other types of breads that are all vegan in principle… In fact, most traditional French & European style bread is vegan but it’s important to ask as you order… So your nearest, locally owned, artisan, friendly neighborhood bakery will probably be your best option!
