Mani's Bakery on Fairfax has a loyal and dedicated following of health conscious fans who desire organic, vegan, or white-sugar free desserts. Gwyneth Paltrow and Kirsten Dunst are just some of the celebs rumored to frequent this little cafe.
The ingredients are both wholesome and fresh and the treats here don't leave you feeling sick and regretful. That said, they don't summon your name on a random day, luring you in for a naughty indulgence the way a traditional cupcake or pastry might.
I've had a hard time figuring out how to rank this special bakery. If I were to compare it to a traditional bakery that has free reign to use sinful ingredients, Mani's would score 3 cherries. In a world of healthy desserts only though, Mani does a great job making these treats taste delicious with selective ingredients and would score 4.5 cherries.
My top recommendations at Mani's are the peanut butter cookies, chocolate peanut butter cupcakes, and raspberry chocolate cake. Mmm~
