Overview

TheDorkyFrench vegan bakery brings authentic French viennoiseries to Glasgow with a 100% plant-based twist, launched by French founder and pastry chef MarlĆØne. Born from a longing for quality French pastries, this artisan vegan bakery opened its doors at 39 Parnie Street in June 2023, combining traditional French baking techniques with premium plant-based ingredients. The bakery specializes in viennoiseries – a category of fine pastries including croissants and pains au chocolat, perfected in France after their invention in Vienna. Each pastry is laminated with love using authentic traditional French flours, organic butter with no palm oil, premium Belgian chocolate, and handmade vegan ingredients. Everything is freshly made daily, ensuring that authentic buttery, dreamy taste. Their extensive menu features classic vegan croissants, almond croissants, pains au chocolat (including a hazelnut version), pain suisse, creme brĆ»lĆ©e Danish, chocolate twists, and the innovative "Not Ham and Cheeze" croissants using German fine handmade vegan 'ham'. For those seeking something more substantial, they offer chilli 'sausage' & cheeze croissants, pain aux raisins, pain au brownie, and seasonal items like pistachio supreme rolls and apple turnovers. They also serve traditional French baguettes and offer celebration tarts and cakes. Operating as a takeaway shop at 39 Parnie Street, they're open Thursdays to Saturdays 8am-3pm and Sundays 9am-4pm. The bakery offers pre-order boxes (order by Tuesday 4pm for same-week collection), bundles, and gift cards. Weekend home deliveries are available via VeganWheels. With an impressive 4.9-star rating, TheDorkyFrench proves that exceptional French pastries can be both vegan and utterly delicious.

This place is one of my favourite vegan finds in Glasgow! I arrived at the shop around midday worried that all of the pastries would be sold out, but was met with a lovely choice of freshly baked croissants, turnovers, pain au chocolates, cookies, brownies and bread. It’s not often where there’s too much choice for a vegan! I chose an apple turnover and an almond croissant and neither have lasted very long at all. The Apple turnover was absolutely delicious - crispy and soft pastry with the perfect balance of tart but sweet apples inside. I wish I had picked up 2 of them! The almond croissant is flavourful and not too sickly, with all of the right textures and taste to fool any non vegan! I would highly recommend this little bakery!

Having had their glutenous pastries which I found to be delicious but not good for my body, I was excited to find gluten-free options finally available that weren’t just cookies. I preordered 3 gluten-free brookies and 3 gluten free brownies & collected today. They both look different in the website but both looked the same in shape in today’s purchase, just that the Brookie was different colours. In texture they were both really hard whereas as far as I’m aware, brownies should be moist in the middle. The brownies were hard all the way through the same as the brookies. The box for the gluten free & non gluten free says that that they best warmed for two minutes before being eaten. This isn’t mentioned in the website. I bought the gluten free options to eat whilst out, not when @ home with access to air fryer/oven… Feels like a complete waste of Ā£24. Unfortunately I don’t live in Glasgow to be able to take them back. Very disappointed… Additional review: Having heated them up in the oven as per instructions in the box, both were absolutely delicious but they need to be heated else dry & hard.

A cute little cafe with a range of fully vegan savoury and sweet dishes. We had iced coffees to take away which were good. There are only 2-3 spaces if you’re looking to sit in, but it is doable.

I AM OBSESSED WITH YOU 😭 You don’t understand. I literally go here straight from the airport every time I land in Glasgow. Everything is perfection. The hazelnut pain au chocolat especially is DIVINE. I can’t believe it’s all vegan. I’ve desperately packed pastries from here in my luggage when I’ve travelled back to my home country to bring some to my family šŸ˜‚ As a person with a major sweet tooth, I was surprised to find that the savoury pastries are just as addicting as their sweet ones. The sausage roll croissant is something I think about often. It’s the most delicious breakfast you could have. Please be open more days of the week in the future. I LOVE YOU 🄹

Only place I’m embarrassed I didn’t do Nat 4 French! Absolutely fantastic bakery (my personal favourite in Glasgow) that you really cannot believe it’s vegan. It’s a must visit for Glasgow!
