The Love Bakery - ONLINE ORDERS ONLY. Introduce
Welcome to The Love Bakery, a unique gem in the heart of New York City's vibrant culinary scene. We’re not your typical neighborhood bakery; we are an online-only destination for those seeking something truly special. The Love Bakery is dedicated to creating incredibly delicious, healthy, and artfully crafted cakes that cater to a wide range of dietary needs without ever compromising on flavor or quality. If you're a New Yorker looking for an indulgent treat that you can feel good about, you’ve come to the right place. Our mission is to transform the way you think about healthy desserts, proving that plant-based, gluten-free, and dairy-free options can be even more decadent and satisfying than their traditional counterparts.
Our cakes are more than just food—they are an experience. Each one is a work of art, meticulously designed and baked with the utmost care. We use high-quality, whole ingredients to ensure that every bite is packed with bold, warm flavors and a satisfyingly rich texture. The Love Bakery has quickly become a favorite for those who follow a plant-based lifestyle, as well as anyone with dietary restrictions like gluten or dairy sensitivities. However, our desserts are so good that they appeal to everyone, regardless of their diet. As one customer beautifully put it, "This isn’t just a cake; it’s art, it’s therapy, it’s magic." We invite you to explore our menu and discover a new standard for celebration cakes, birthday treats, or simply a decadent dessert to brighten your day.
We understand the struggle of finding genuinely delicious, health-conscious baked goods in a city as vast as New York. That's why we've made it our goal to be the go-to online resource for people across all five boroughs, from Staten Island to the Bronx and everywhere in between. Our creations are meant to be savored and enjoyed, offering a truly unique flavor profile that sets us apart. We believe that a little slice goes a long way, and our customers consistently rave about the rich, whole-bodied taste that doesn't leave you with the "headache that comes from sugary desserts." With The Love Bakery, you can finally enjoy a treat that is both a feast for the eyes and a delight for the palate, all made with love right here in New York City.
The Love Bakery operates exclusively as an online-only bakery, which means you won't find a traditional storefront. However, our physical presence for order pickup is conveniently located at 150 Ludlow St, New York, NY 10002, in the heart of the bustling Lower East Side. This central location makes it easy for customers from all over New York City to access our delicious treats. Whether you’re coming from Uptown, Brooklyn, Queens, or even Staten Island, our spot is a simple trip away, often accessible via major subway lines. The Lower East Side is a vibrant, easy-to-navigate neighborhood, making the pickup process smooth and pleasant. When you place an order online, you will receive clear instructions for pickup at this address, ensuring a hassle-free experience.
Our online-only model allows us to focus entirely on the quality and craftsmanship of our cakes. It ensures that every order is made fresh and with personal attention. When a customer from Staten Island made the trip to pick up their Beautifying Fudge Brownie Cake, they found the experience "smooth" and noted that the founder, Erica, was "really sweet" and provided helpful instructions. This commitment to personal, friendly service is a cornerstone of our business, even without a physical counter to serve you. The centralized Lower East Side address is the perfect nexus point, allowing us to connect with customers throughout the greater New York metropolitan area and beyond, bringing our unique and healthy creations to a wider audience.
By operating from a single, accessible location for pickups, we maintain a streamlined process that prioritizes efficiency and customer convenience. We understand that our customers have busy lives, and we make every effort to ensure that picking up your pre-ordered cake is as quick and easy as possible. The Ludlow Street address is well-known and easy to find, situated in a neighborhood with plenty to see and do if you want to make a day of it. For those who choose to pick up their order in person, this location serves as a welcoming point of contact where you can receive your carefully prepared cake and get a feel for the care that goes into every creation from The Love Bakery.

This is a testament to our dedication to creating treats that are not just good for a gluten-free option, but simply outstanding cakes in their own right.
- Bold and Complex Flavors: Unlike many overly sweet desserts, our cakes are celebrated for their rich, bold, and warm flavor profiles. For example, our Beautifying Fudge Brownie Cake is praised for its "rich, decadent chocolate" and the "surprising and delightful addition of dried fruit and herbs that complement the chocolate masterfully."

Whether enjoyed at room temperature or "ooey, gooey perfection" when warmed, a small slice is incredibly filling and indulgent, ensuring that a single cake can be enjoyed over several days.
- Customer-Focused Experience: Our online model allows for a personalized and thoughtful service. From the moment you place your order to the smooth and friendly pickup process, we ensure a positive experience.

★ 5★ 4★ 3★ 2★ 1I wanted to wait a few days before I wrote a review. With that being said, here it is.WOW!I bought this cake as a treat to myself for my birthday. I follow a mostly plant-based. I also live on Staten Island and, typical of the borough, I struggled to find dairy-free, plant-based, and/or health conscious goods as a treat. I ended up finding The Love Bakery after several days of careful research. I was initially put off by the price but decided to go for it -- after all, it's for my birthday....I'm so glad I did.I ordered the Beautifying Fudge Brownie Cake. Pickup was smooth. Erica was really sweet upon my picking up the order and gave some instructions before I trekked the seven seas back to Staten Island.The cake looked exactly as pictured - beautifully crafted. You can tell it's designed with much care. When I had my first slice, I will admit that it was a lot to take in. It's a VERY rich cake. Even my boyfriend had to stop eating after one bite. Nonetheless, I didn't want to go off of my first impression and decided to see how the cake sat after a few days.The second day I liked it. The third day I LOVED it. Each day afterwards, I couldn't wait to dive in and dreamt about my next slice. I do think I needed to adapt to the bold but warm flavors. It's not like most cakes where, at least to me, you engulf large spoonfuls. It's truly meant to be savored and enjoyed. I also found a little slice goes a long way. We loved the dehydrated (?) fruit accompaniments and enjoyed slicing up some strawberries to eat with it. My mother even had a slice of the cake and was amazed at how much she enjoyed it, especially after learning the ingredients the cake had.I love, love, loved this cake. I highly recommend. It's so warm, dense, and whole bodied without that headache that comes from sugary desserts. It was well worth the money spent. I WILL be buying from here again.
February 24 · Ayana BHands down, the best gluten-free cake in the city—and quite possibly the best cake I’ve ever had, period.My first bite of the beautifying fudge brownie cake made me want to dance, and by the second, I actually did. The rich, decadent chocolate is everything you dream of in a chocolate cake. But what truly made my taste buds sing was the surprising and delightful addition of dried fruit and herbs that complement the chocolate masterfully.I tried a slice warm, and let me tell you—ooey, gooey perfection. One slice is so filling and the texture is so indulgent and satisfying.This isn’t just a cake; it’s art, it’s therapy, it’s magic. If you haven’t tried it yet, you’re missing out. An absolute must-have for any chocolate lover, gluten-free or not!
December 21 · Clair ViolaThe Love Bakery is the real deal. You can taste the love that's baked into each work of art. I ordered a Cosmic Chocolate Chip Cookie Cake for my mom's birthday (with a candle thoughtfully included). The cake was divine, and the ethereal, decadent presentation looked like something out of a magazine. Erica is extremely talented and so kind. This bakery will go viral - mark my words. If you're on the lookout for a vegan/gluten free/refined sugar free/adaptogenic friendly bakery in Lower Manhattan, you've found your go-to place. I can't wait to try her banana bread muffins and French toast cookies ASAP because once again..they look to die for. I'd recommend ordering here for holidays, birthdays, friends, or just because.
September 25 · Sara BoesenAbsolutely exquisite vegan cake! Fabulously looking, fantastic taste, filling and truly satisfying.My hubby got it as a surprise for my BD. The bakery was extremely accommodating. They even added a hand-written card and a candle
