Bolivian Pastries specializes in all-vegan traditional Bolivian baked goods such as saltenas filled with vegetables and plant-based cheeze empanadas, sold via pre-order for delivery and at a university market. The bakery is appreciated for fresh, moist cakes like chocolate fudge and unique offerings like alfajores, with friendly staff who explain the options and engage with customers through Facebook. Although mostly praised, one review noted a hygiene issue involving a long hair in an order, which could be an isolated incident.
