What you should know about Land & Monkeys.
Land & Monkeys is best known for becoming France's first entirely plant-based boulangerie when entrepreneur Rodolphe Landemaine and pastry chef Yoshimi Ishikawa launched the concept in 2020, reengineering centuries of French baking tradition through 100 percent vegan breads, viennoiseries, pastries, sandwiches, and desserts without butter, eggs, cream, honey, or other animal products while earning recognition as one of the world's pioneering vegan bakery brands.
Rodolphe Landemaine and Yoshimi Ishikawa apply classical French baking techniques to exceptional plant-based ingredients, producing croissants with delicately laminated, shatteringly crisp layers, pain au chocolat filled with rich dark chocolate, airy brioches, naturally leavened sourdoughs, seasonal fruit tarts, and elegant pâtisserie whose flavor and texture rival their traditional counterparts. Carefully selected flours, cultured plant-based butter, house-made creams, premium chocolate, roasted nuts, and seasonal fruit create pastries of remarkable depth, while artisan sandwiches and specialty coffee complete an experience that demonstrates how sustainability and uncompromising craftsmanship can elevate contemporary French baking.
