I could be wrong. As an avid meat eater I went to a vegan restaurant on Atlantic called Maimonide a couple of weeks ago and was amazed at how good the food was. I wish them luck. </p> http://brooklynian.com/forum/fort-greene-clinton-hill-bed-stuy/opening-march-4-clementine-bakery#post-752149 Thu, 08 Mar 2012 09:24:15 +0000 saram 752149@http://brooklynian.com/forum/ <blockquote><p><cite>pastoralia <a href="http://brooklynian.com/forum/fort-greene-clinton-hill-bed-stuy/opening-march-4-clementine-bakery#post-752015">said</a>:</cite><br /> I don't think an all vegan bakery is going to work here.

I don't know that all people who stop in will know it is particularly vegan friendly (unlike places like V Spot where it is in the title) and it would be near the G train and get some morning traffic.<br /> I believe <a href="http://dunwelldoughnuts.com/">Dun Well doughnuts</a> is doing well (!), likely because of location near a train and offering really interesting and yummy foods. Over the holiday I stopped in for a chocolate peppermint cake doughnut that tasted like xmas!<br /> I think to be successful this bakery will have to appeal to vegan and non vegan alike, and convenience, uniqueness, and quality will all be important. I haven't had a chance to try it yet, but if nothing else maybe this weekend. </p> http://brooklynian.com/forum/fort-greene-clinton-hill-bed-stuy/opening-march-4-clementine-bakery#post-752145 Thu, 08 Mar 2012 01:26:15 +0000 unicyclist-courier 752145@http://brooklynian.com/forum/ <p>Wow, I am so super excited to try this place! YAY, vegan bakery! There are actually not that many places around here to find vegan baked goods, and esp. if you want to order a vegan birthday cake or something like that. Has anyone tried it yet? </p> http://brooklynian.com/forum/fort-greene-clinton-hill-bed-stuy/opening-march-4-clementine-bakery#post-752015 Tue, 06 Mar 2012 10:52:32 +0000 pastoralia 752015@http://brooklynian.com/forum/ <p>I don't think an all vegan bakery is going to work here.

Just saw <a href="http://supervegan.com/blog/entry.php?id=1877">a post on supervegan</a> announcing the March 4th opening but hadn't seen anything on these forums about it. </p> <p>The closest bakery was Michael Allen Desserts, but they never had anything I could eat (despite tons of vegan signs on the door?) and I think they moved way up Washington by the BQE. </p> <p>Also I'm from the south and have a soft spot for the name <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DfecAVzoPPk">Clementine</a>. </p>
