A Manyaunk-based vegan bakery, Crust, has opened their first storefront in West Philly! The coffee shop and bakery recently opened at 42nd and Chester, on the ground floor of the new three-story apartment building, across from Millcreek Tavern (we wrote about the plans to open a coffee shop in that location in a March 2019 post).

The new shop is called Grindcore X Crust and is a collaboration between Crust Vegan Bakery and Grindcore House, a South Philly based vegan-friendly coffee shop. They supply coffee, tea, bagels and sandwiches for the new shop, while Crust sells pastries, cakes by the slice, pop tarts, and more (see photo below).

Crust Vegan Bakery is women owned and operated and has been open since 2015 as a whole sale and catering business, delivering goods to places like Earth Cup and Mariposa Food Co-op. Their small kitchen is located in Manayunk, and all items are scooped, baked and frosted by hand.

Grindcore X Crust is open Monday-Friday 6:30 a.m.-8 p.m, and Saturday & Sunday 8 a.m.-8 p.m. For more info, visit www.crustveganbakery.com.
