Here’s a list of LA spots that stock vegan tiramisu! Since we’re unable to travel to Italy at the moment, we decided to bring the flavors of the popular boot-shaped European country to our taste buds! Tiramisu is an authentic Italian dessert made from coffee-soaked ladyfingers (sponge cake) layered between sweet mascarpone cream cheese. With the help of modern vegan technology and brilliant plant-based pastry chefs, this traditionally non-vegan dessert can now be found as vegan. Keep reading to learn where you can find a slice!
Green Table Cafe
Mid-City
Do you want to indulge in the scrumptious flavors of tiramisu without all the added sugars and fats? Pay a visit to this plant-based cafe for a slice of their tantalizing tiramisu!

Karma Baker
Westlake Village
Full disclosure, we’ve dreamt of Karma Baker’s cupcake jars ever since they launched this spring. This all-vegan bakery recently concocted a version of these jar-bound treats in the flavor of tiramisu. The dessert contains layers of espresso-soaked vanilla cake and sweet pastry cream. It’s vegan, gluten-free, kosher, and nut-free. This flavor is available for pickup only. For those of you not in LA, Karma Baker offers a plethora of other flavors and pastries that are available for nationwide delivery!
Pura Vita
West Hollywood
Pura Vita is one of the first restaurants that comes to mind at the mention of Italian dining! This all-vegan hot spot was founded by Tara Punzone, a vegan Italian American who crafts some of the tastiest food we’ve ever had. Vanilla bean cashew mascarpone, espresso, and cocoa are just a few of the ingredients that make up Pura Vita’s gluten-free tiramisu. This divine dish makes for a great finale to a loaded plate of pasta from Pura Vita or a few slices of pizza from Pura Vita Pizzeria next door!
