Info: A Melbourne vegan institution, the Las Vegan Bakery doubles as a cafe serving dishes from soup to sweets.

The bakery also caters and their muffins are available in some other Melbourne stores. Cooks Lia Vandersant and Liam Davies have also released a book on soups published by Aduki Press, Soup For All Seasons.
