Submitted by Jeremy Strauss on January 13, 2011 - 8:20pm

We have some gluten-free treats from the same vegan pastry shop that supplies our fresh-baked muffins. Come sample gluten-free brownies with walnuts, gluten-free key lime raspberry mini-cheesecakes (with a chopped walnut crumb topping) and gluten-free chocolate mini-cheesecakes (with walnuts). The “cheese” is non-dairy. These treats are all vegan.
