Natalia Lima fell in love with croissants during a trip to Paris. She wasn't a vegan back then. "Three times a day, I ate croissants," she laughed. "There was no croissant left behind! " But when she went vegan about 12 years ago, she wasn't ready to give up croissants.
"They have so much butter," she said. "I had to figure out something. " Lima is the inventive mind behind St. Pete's Curious Cat Bakery, an online bakery that also delivers delicious vegan croissants to shops all over town (Book + Bottle, Black Crow Coffee, Rollin' Oats and more). She bakes (no butter!
no eggs! all inventive vegan ingredients! ), she delivers, and she markets. She's a vegan baker on a clear mission. "My goal is to have Curious Cat croissants everywhere so vegans will always have an option," she said.
