Vegan Monarch Bakery & Café

Vegan Monarch Bakery & Café, established in 2016, is Polk County’s first vegan bakery and café, offering fully plant-based pastries, baked goods, and savory cuisine at their location in downtown Winter Haven. Founded and owned by Mika Altidor, the woman-owned business specializes in egg-free, dairy-free, and honey-free items, including notable firsts like Florida’s first vegan churros and Polk County’s first vegan cinnamon rolls, with gluten-free and keto options also available. Beyond serving the community with quality vegan fare, Vegan Monarch is committed to social outreach, having supported homeless residents in Winter Haven through fundraising initiatives and community partnerships.
