About us
San Francisco Vegan Society (SFVS) welcomes people wherever they are on the path to an all-plant, vegan diet and lifestyle. We promote the adoption of a vegan lifestyle for ethical, healthy and sustainable living, and offer a community for people to meet, learn, exchange ideas and interact with others interested in compassionate living for a better world. Together we can make this movement grow and encourage a way of life that is better for your health, better for the well-being of animals, better for the environment, and better for humanity.

COMMUNITY NOTES:
SFVS Community Agreements: We want everyone to have a great time at our events. The San Francisco Vegan Society Community Agreements is our simple way of making sure everyone feels respected, included and comfortable. It’s a shared promise to show up with kindness, listen well, and treat each other with care. Together, we create a space where everyone belongs and thrives.
Group Organizer: As of June 3, 2025, SFVS became the organizer of this group. SFVS uses this Meetup group to share both Official SFVS Events and Community-Led Events. Only events that display the SFVS logo in the event image are SFVS-sponsored events. All other listings should be understood as community postings, not official SFVS programming. Community-led events are hosted by members or other organizations and are shared as a courtesy when they are related to veganism; they are not sponsored or endorsed by SFVS.
If you have questions about whether a specific event is SFVS-sponsored, please email [events@sfvs.org](mailto:events@sfvs.org) — we’re happy to clarify.

Cake Swap Extra-VEGAN-za!
Potrero del Sol Park, 25th And Utah, San Francisco, CA, USDo you dream of eating cake day and night? Do you have 3-5 packs of Earth Balance baking sticks stockpiled in your fridge? Do you love chatting and picnicking in the sun? If you answered yes to any of these questions, this may be the event for you! 🍰
—How it works—
Bake or buy a vegan cake you’re super excited about, bring it to the park to share, and indulge in slices of all the cakes as you meet and chat with other cake enthusiasts! Bring a plate and fork to picnic, and a Tupperware to take cake home with you!This is a vegan event! While every cake lover, vegan or not, is warmly welcomed, every cake should be 100% vegan -- no eggs, no dairy, no honey, no gelatin, no meat, no fish, no products derived from animals of any kind.
—About your cake—
Other than being vegan, the sky is the limit! Homemade or store-bought, pistachio and rosewater genoise sponge or classic vanilla sheet cake. You may even dip your toe into the world of savory cakes! Whatever you bring, just make sure you are excited and enthusiastic about your cake. We are all here to revel in the magnificence of cake, after all!If you are looking for recipes or inspo, I highly recommend checking out Nora Cooks and The Banana Diaries.
Additional requirements:
- Your cake should be big enough to share with at least 10 people (eg ~9in if it’s a single layer cake)
- Your cake should be on a surface you can cut on. A cutting board, cake plate, etc.
- Please bring a small card or sticky note listing your cake flavor and any major allergens (like nuts, sesame or soy — we’ll assume gluten unless otherwise noted!)
—IMPORTANT: What else to bring—
- Something to cut your cake with
- Plate and fork to picnic with
- Tupperware to bring any uneaten slices home!
- [Optional] Blanket / chairs for park lounging
- [Optional] Water as a palate cleanser between flavors :)
We will provide a few extra cake cutters and to-go containers in case you don’t have anything suitable, but please try to bring your own plates and forks to keep this event zero waste.
—Arrival time—
We will be digging into cakes on a rolling basis so for maximum feasting, please try to arrive close to the start time!—Getting there—
Potrero Del Sol is close to many Muni lines and about a 20min walk from 24th St Bart.There is 3 hour parking for $11 at SF General Hospital Medical Center Garage, just about 1 block away. You can also search for street parking around the area.
