New Vegan Bakery Opens In Westfield

WESTFIELD, NJ — For those who have a sweet tooth, but are looking to satisfy that craving with something healthy, Viktoria Seiz Cafe in Westfield may be a new go-to spot.

The vegan cafe celebrated its opening on Friday at its location on 407 South Avenue West.

According to the bakery's website, all the desserts are comprised of healthy ingredients and do not contain harmful additives, artificial flavors or preservatives.

Viktoria Seiz takes baked goods that are typically quite rich and fattening and transforms them into a dessert that is healthier and uses raw ingredients.

For instance, the bakery offers a tiRAWmisu, a take on the classic tiramisu, which consists of dates, raw walnut, raw cashew and organic almond milk, among other ingredients.

The bakery also sells an "avocado surprise" dessert that uses healthy ingredients like raw almond, coconut oil, shredded coconut, avocado and spinach.

Located right outside the Westfield train station, the new store is the bakery's second location — with the other located in New York City.

According to the website, the bakery is opening a new café to be able to produce more desserts and partner with food service businesses across the United States. They also plan to become a wholesale dessert manufacturer.

You can check out all their offerings on their website and Facebook page.
