May Fresh Faces: Food!
Every month our favorite Flea vendors set sail and plan their return to port Tyler to celebrate their new collections, creations, and new found treasures. In addition to our staple vendors we all love and come out to support each month, are our new vendors! Check back here every month to find out who will be joining our CLE Flea Fleet!
***We had so many new vendors this May that we busted-up the new vendors into two posts. First up: FOOD!***
- Who they are: The Vegan Doughnut Company is a shared creation of sisters Kyra and Kharisma. They spread love and compassion with the Cleveland community through cruelty-free vegan doughnuts.
- Why we love them: They’re not just good at making vegan doughnuts… they’re good at making doughnuts (that just happen to be vegan)
- Team Flea Pick: Lemon and Lavender yeast-raised doughnuts are our JAM!
The Square Scullery Food Truck
- Who they are: Owners Matt and Heather are just a couple of kids from Akron slinging badass, farm fresh, made-from-scratch menus.
- Why we love them: Their menu offers what they call "indie comfort food", otherwise known as elevated approaches to everyday favorites.
- Team Flea Pick: Mark us down for ten orders of goat cheese and chickpea fritters!
- Who they are: Debuting their business at The Flea, The Croqueteria is a family-run team with goals broaden local palettes, fill bellies, and grow smiles.
