This isn’t limited to Taipei either; all over the island you’ll find sweet treats that will satisfy your dessert cravings. Here’s a list of recommended vegan dessert spot to indulge at next time you’re visiting Taiwan.
Veganday Cuisine, Taichung
Founded by popular Taiwanese vegan blogger Bluesomeone, Veganday Cuisine offers hearty vegan meals and delicate vegan desserts. Don’t miss out on the Taro Mont Blanc, a light and creamy cake with a delightful taro flavour.

Flourish, Taipei
The pineapple bun has long been a favourite Hong Kong snack, but it’s seemingly impossible to find a vegan version in Asia’s World City. Luckily, Flourish in Taipei has created one that’s egg-free, lard-free and dairy-free. It comes with a thick slice of cold vegan butter with a sprinkle of sugar on top. Take note, Hong Kong.
