Charlotte Pastry Lab

Located about a 15–20 minute walk from Heraklion city center, Charlotte is the city’s first fully vegan pastry shop. Chara, the pastry chef behind Charlotte, prepares fresh handmade vegan desserts every day, all free from refined sugar and gluten, with a strong focus on quality ingredients and freshness.

It’s definitely worth a visit if you enjoy healthier and more unique sweet treats. Since everything is made in small batches daily, many items tend to sell out early — it’s a good idea to contact the shop in advance to check availability before visiting. Freshly made every day, so don’t wait too long!
