# Temporary Vegan Bakeries The Raw-Vegan Pixie Pop-Up Bakery Operates Out of a Doorway By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2014-11-20 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pop-up-bakery References: [capitolhillseattle](http://www.capitolhillseattle.com/2014/11/pixie-pop-up-is-a-magical-place-sharing-raw-and-baked-treats-from-a-12th-ave-doorway/) & [facebook](https://www.facebook.com/pixiepopup) 10 years ago, Meghan Kroh started up Pixie, a [vegan bakery](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cinnaholic-holiday-menu) that just couldn't seem to sustain itself—but now Pixie is back with a [pop-up bakery](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/treat-shoppe) for a second shot at success. The Pixie Pop-Up is set up on Saturdays in front of People's [Kombucha](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kombucha-powder) in Seattle, Washington and it hardly takes up any space operating out of a doorway. People stopping by will be treated to a variety of raw and vegan snacks made from organic, non-GMO and minimal ingredients with gluten. Since the main ingredients feature fruits and nuts rather than eggs and dairy, storing the treats is not a concern. At the Pixie Pop-Up, there's a little something for everyone, especially those who stick to paleo, vegan, raw diets. As an additional treat, the Pixie-Pop Up even has treats for dogs too. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.7/10 - Popularity: 28% | Activity: 16% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Vegan Food Pop-ups:** Opportunity to create temporary vegan food pop-ups that cater to specific dietary restrictions and preferences. - **Raw Vegan Snacks:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for businesses to offer a variety of raw and vegan snacks made from organic, non-GMO and minimal ingredients. - **Specialty Diet Treats:** Chance for businesses to cater to niche markets by providing treats for specific diets like paleo, vegan, and raw diets. ### Who This Affects Most - **Food and Beverage:** The food and beverage industry can leverage the trend of temporary vegan bakeries and create innovative offerings that cater to specific diets. - **Hospitality:** Opportunity for the hospitality industry to host vegan food pop-ups, attracting customers looking for unique dietary options. - **Pet Food:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for the pet food industry to create specialty treats for dogs with specific dietary needs. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Seasonal Free-From Pies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/southern-roots-vegan-bakery.md) - [Vegan Brownie Popcorn](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brownie-popcorn.md) - [Plant-Based Pizza Pop-Ups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/slice-club.md) - [Festive Dairy-Free Cupcakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vegan-sugar-spice-cupcake.md) - [Pop-Up Vegan Cheese Markets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nurishh-hosted.md) - [Mini Plant-Based Pizzas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blackbirdie-pizza-minis.md) - [Holiday-Themed Baked Goods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/holiday-themed-baked-goods.md) - [Vegan Caterpillar-Shaped Cakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vegan-caterpillar-cakes.md) - [Guilt-Free Vegan Cheesecakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/culiraw.md)
