Exceeded Expectations

After looking at pictures of the amazing cakes on Facebook and Instagram for two years, I finally made from the Rocky Mountain West to Brooklyn, where I could taste them and they did not disappoint. An old friend and I went there and had Polish-style sandwiches (similar to Russian Pirozhki, but round) and one of those amazing four-layer cakes in all the pictures. We also got some cake and cupcakes for breakfast the next day (you only live once). The place itself was small, but cosy. And the service was excellent.

Pros: Cakes taste as good as the pictures. , Cosy seating area to enjoy the food. , Great service, lovely proprietors

Cons: Cakes cannot be shipped

A disappointment

Had high expectations due to the reviews on here but they weren’t met. We had a slice of carrot cake and cheesecake - both were quite bland unfortunately. Portions were very generous though.

Cute little place - smoothies did not stand out

Had a smoothie, did not stand out. However the baked goods looked really nice (as I understand the main attraction)

Pros: Cute little place

Cons: Pricy , Smoothies was nothing special

WORTH IT!

The banana whip is SO delicious! The whips are raw vegan and nonsugar added. They also have raw vegan cheesecakes. Check their Instagram to see what's available that day, or you can order your own cakes-- preferably at least 2 weeks in advance

Love to come here on a regular base!
Vegan gluten free, no artificial sugar used!
If you haven’t been here, you’re missing out for sure!

Long wait

Looks very nice BUT we arrived just after 12 on a Saturday when the cafe was empty and we were told it would be a 35 minute wait for a sandwich. Staff were quite sniffy and reluctant to serve us. Don’t go if you are in a hurry. I hope the service is usually friendlier than this. We gave up and went somewhere else. There are plenty of other places in the area with vegan options.

Pros: All vegan, Looks cozy

Cons: Unfriendly staff, Ling wait for food

Passionate vegan owner, Zoe.

We arrived close to closing time - only a few sweet treats left to choose from... we chose choc donut (baked) with teas to eat-in, and a lavender cookie for takeaway.

Donut was delicious; cookie was quirky in flavour and I thought amazing (partner said was a bit weird). I think the cookie contained lavender, coconut, walnut and ginger - yes a bit different - but I love being offered unique flavours and tastes. Homemade with love!

(Zoe, may I have the recipe, please!)

Zoe's is unique - a homely place to relax.
Zoe is friendly and passionate about her cooking and about veganism.
She recommended Bersi for dinner - It was an excellent choice!
Thank you, Zoe.

Pros: Homemade with love, Homely, Quirky

very good birthday cake!

i ordered a birthday cake ('Vegan chocolate vanilla raspberry crumb 5' - 50$) for pickup. communication was good throughout and the pickup was easy.

most importantly, the cake was very good! something i come across every once in a while is that vegan pasty are too sweet for some reason, but this cake had it just right.

my memories of what a non-vegan cake tastes like are too weak to be very confident, but i think you'll be safe bringing one to your vegan and non-vegan friends alike.

More than a bakery

I loved my coffee, but wish the cheesecake I got had a bit more flavor. I would love to try some other things from the menu.

The best!

Vegan treats with a ton of GF options.

My husband accidentally got me a giant GF cake for my birthday. Way too big for my small bday party. I froze what was left and ate it cold for months after and it was amazing and I’m not really into sweet things.

Mmm Mmm Deliciousness!

I had the task of ordering a VEGAN birthday cake for my Pastor. After much research, I found Happy Zoe Vegan Bakery.

I ordered my VEGAN Vanilla Strawberry Cake on 3/1 and picked it up on 3/8. It was served on 3/9. This masterpiece was absolute Mmm Mmm Deliciousness! My Pastor enjoyed it! Mission Accomplished!🙌🏾

I drove from Suffolk County NY to Brooklyn and it was well worth the drive! I strongly recommend trying out the many varieties at this location.

BTW: I also ordered (2) items to enjoy later!😜

Pros: Delicious, Lots of variety, Creative options

Cons: Parking is challenging

The most delicious vegan gluten free cheesecake

I ordered a vegan gluten free vanilla blueberry cheesecake for my son’s 2nd birthday. It was delicious, creamy and with no sugar. My little boy is obsessed with this cheesecake and everyone else loved it so much.

We will be back soon:)

Pros: Friendly staff , Amazing quality ingredients , Everything is 100% Vegan , no dairy! No nuts!

Phenomenal food!

I've had many incredible desserts from Happy Zoe. Nothing else comes close. Delicious, creative, top notch ingredients, just the best! Ignore any negative reviews. These are only made by ignorant people who don't understand what vegan means.

Appreciated the concept

Very cozy atmosphere (big armchairs! Cat-inspired decor!) and an extensive menu.

I think I got the wrong thing. The cheesecake was beautifully presented, but I found it a bit too creamy. Next time I’ll try something else.

Beautiful baked goods

I tried some chocolate carrot cake from here that was incredible. I wasn’t impressed with the smoothie but I’d definitely return for more baked goods.

This is a small, down home counter-serve cafe. All I had a gluten-free, vegan dessert--but what I had was extremely yummy.

They have a crazy selection of cakes and donuts. I've never seen vegan cakes like this. They also have savory food, such as sandwiches. I highly recommend this place.

The place to be

Incredible. Amazing service, amazing food, beautiful and tasty cakes, cozy atmosphere with big armchairs in which you can chill or read for a while. You mustn't miss this place.

I had a bigggg slice of chocolate and blueberry cake (8$) and even though I was a bit afraid at first of the mix chocolate/fruit I absolutely loved it. I also tried the lemon cheesecake (8$) my girlfriend ordered, which was surprisingly good as I usually don't like cheesecake. We will definitely be back to try more cakes !!

Note : to my understanding, the price by slice is the same for every cake (8$).
