First they’re spooky, then they’re sweet!
The best way to cure the spookies is with some sweets! From cupcakes, donuts, and cake pops to conchas and milkshakes, these frightfully festive treats are the perfect way to celebrate the haunted holiday. Here’s a list of 12 spots for vegan Halloween desserts in Los Angeles.
Dear Bella Creamery

Do you want to indulge in the flavor of a caramel apple without all of the mess that comes along with eating one? Order a scoop of Dear Bella Creamery’s Caramel Apple ice cream! With house-made caramel and dollops of granny smith apple jam mixed throughout, this seasonal sweet is a must-try! From noon-11pm on Halloween, kids under the age of 12 in costume will receive a complimentary scoop of choice, and dogs in costume will receive a complimentary Pup Cup!
Karma Baker

‘Tis the season for Halloween Mummy Donuts at Karma Baker! These chocolate rings are drizzled in vegan white chocolate and topped with adorable (and edible) googly eyes.
