About

Oven Stories is a bakery and cake shop known for its wide range of vegan and gluten-free sweet and savory pastries—favorites include the vegan pear and cinnamon cake and the vegan potato puffs. The venue offers limited seating, with indoor space being small and outdoor seating beside a roadside, making it better suited for takeout or delivery. Prices are generally reasonable for the high quality, and the staff is frequently described as friendly and helpful, though some confusion about vegan labeling was reported in rare instances.
