Louisville, Ky. — Vegans love decadent desserts as much as the next guy. And with all the meat-, egg-, and dairy-free food choices available, people who are concerned about animals, the environment, and their health have lots to choose from—and that includes desserts. With that in mind, PETA has just completed its first-ever ranking of the top five vegan pies from restaurants across the U.S., and the Cranberry Walnut Pie from Louisville's Sweet Surrender Dessert Café has grabbed the number five spot.
In addition to pies, cakes, and other desserts, Sweet Surrender offers a lunch menu with several outstanding vegan options. All of the café's desserts are made on the premises from scratch, and the Cranberry Walnut Pie is mouthwatering proof that the only things missing from this vegan masterpiece are the cruelty and ill-health effects associated with eggs and dairy products. Sweet Surrender has been honored with eight Best of Louisville awards and six LEO Readers' Choice awards.
Taking top honors was the Apple Crumb Pie à la Mode from the award-winning and 100 percent vegan Sublime restaurant in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. Claiming the number two spot was the Chocolate Silk Peanut Butter Pie from Iowa City's Fair Grounds Coffeehouse. Rounding out the top five winners were the Banana Cream Pie from Lovin' Spoonfuls in Tucson, Ariz., and the Coconut Pie With Blood Orange Sauce from True Bistro in Somerville, Mass.
"Sweet Surrender gets five green stars for meeting Americans' growing demand for fine vegan desserts in the most delicious ways," says PETA Executive Vice President Tracy Reiman. "With all the tasty animal-free options available these days, going vegan is as easy as apple pie."
Sweet Surrender is located at 1804 Frankfort Ave. in Crescent Hill. Hours of operation are 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday and 10 a.m. to 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday. The restaurant is closed Sunday and Monday. The telephone number is 502-899-2008.
