Last Saturday, this conversation took place.
"Hey! Are you going to that vegan pop up down the street?"
"Of course!" I excitedly answered.
"I saw the sign and said, 'I know who's going down there for lunch.'"
Laughter ensued. I skipped off for my break, hungry and anxious, delighted to be near the latest Philly Vegan Popup Flea Market. I had been praying that they would show up at Friend's Center. I love Tattooed Mom's, but it's further down the road from my workplace.

| I visited Barb's Gone Pie booth, admiring the sweets galore. |
 |
| Candies, breads, pies.... |
 |
| Freakin' Vegan scooping out macaroni and cheese for ravenous guests. |
 |
| A Freakin' Vegan Spinach and "ricotta" empanada and Obsidian Juice beet juice (excellent flavor blend). |
 |
| The filling is good. I need more of that ricotta in my life and quite curious as to the ingredients. |
 |
| In the breakroom, scrumptious "just for me" Gone Pie goodies all laid out in their glorious fair trade chocolate (and not chocolate) beauty: peanut butter caramel rice crispy treat (with twinkling, iridescent green sprinkles), salted peanut butter caramel cup, vanilla macaroon, and a broughnie (brownie baked in a donut pan). So delicious. FYI: I did eat these on separate occasions. Imagine the extreme sugar high if I had eaten all at once. |
 |
| My love for Newman's Boulangerie croissants grew stronger with every bite of the salty-sweet, chewy, moist, buttery, flaky pastry. I shared my batch with my co-workers. One of which said, "you better be careful, these could get pretty addictive." And yes, she's right. Thankfully, they sell vegan croissants on Fridays at Grindcore House. |
 |
| Another shameless picture of the marshmallow centered broughnie. This was epic. |
Vegan Pop Ups must continue this refreshing tradition around Philadelphia. It has been a super amazing treat meeting people, eating new food creations, and finding cruelty free beauty products.
The empanada looks incredible! And a vegan croissant is something I've never had, but need to try sometime!
ReplyDeleteThanks. I loved the empanada! :)
DeleteI hope you get to try vegan croissants sometime! It's a long and difficult process making them at home.
Looks like a quite tasty event! At Bethlehem VegFest, we always go to Freakin' Vegan's stall; the mac & cheese and empanadas are amazing! The croissants sound so good, too!
ReplyDeleteI didn't get to try the mac n cheese, but there was definitely a crowd for it. I hope we have more pop ups. It's a lot of delicious fun. I'll try to get up to the Bethlehem Fest someday. :D
