Great pastries in a lovely setting

The place is right in the centre but a bit hidden not far from the university library. There are lots of plants and there even is a small terrace at the back. The owner is very friendly and the atmosphere relaxed. I enjoyed my hot chocolate (oat milk, but soy and coconut are also available) and fruit tart very much.

Pros: Nice pastries and drinks, Lovely setting, Very friendly owner

Seeing it's a small business, making everything fresh (while you can see them decorating etc) with fresh and with high quality products, renting prices in Leuven and all that, I think their prices are quite okay. Lunches like quiche and soup are on the cheaper side there! I would really recommend you give it another try! The chocolate cake is delicious. :))

Best vegan pastries in town

First and foremost, the owner is an angel in human disguise. Secondly, her cinnamon rolls, cookies and brownies come from another world.

Finally a vegan pastry haven in Leuven.

After a long wait, finally a place to go when in need of vegan pastry. Most coffee bars would have one option or so, but it's always a bit of a hassle. Now you can just come in and order whatever you're craving at the moment.

The owner is super friendly and serves you with a smile.

Only minus might be the terrace, which is closed in between walls. Then again, you might get a free concert from the university belfry😄

Délicieux et chaleureux, que demander de plus ?

Malgré notre barrière de la langue qui n'est pas toujours facile à gérer, Patricia était très gentille, chaleureuse, souriante et généreuse, c'était très agréable. J'ai pris un brownies praliné à emporter et il était vraiment délicieux. Les produits sont frais et de qualités et l'accueil agréable et chaleureux. Je recommande et je reviendrai.

Pros: Endroit agréable et calme, Proche du centre, Produits frais, de qualités et délicieux

Cons: Pas de payement par carte

Six stars quality!

I was so happy to find this place. The cafe is welcoming, has a inside terrace with a lot of flowers, a great spot to relax. I tried their cakes and were excellent. Definitively, a "must visit" for every vegan in Leuven.

Cute place for coffee and a sweet treat

A variety of coffee and loose leaf teas. Also sweet treats but when we were there only two options: brownie with cherries in and a strawberry cake. Very delicious though! And a really friendly owner. Highly recommended!

Pros: Cute place, Fully vegan, Delicious sweet treats

Awesome place!

This is definitely my new favourite place in Leuven! Very friendly owner, seriously the best vegan pies I've ever tasted, and a cozy interior: wicker chairs, plants, and a small but cute little terrace at the back where you can enjoy your drinks and food surrounded by plants ☺️ Really a must if you're in Leuven!

All vegan pastry

Very nice coffee & pastry bar.
Everything is vegan and so tasty.
If you go to eat some dessert with non-vegan friends here, they would not notice that it is al vegan.
Nice place to sit, the also have a terrace.

Pros: Good desserts & drinks, Beautiful shop, Very kind owner

Amazing desserts that taste real!

This is easily my new favorite café in town. Everything from the food and coffee to the atmosphere and service is excellent. This is a must-visit for anyone, vegan or not, when in Leuven. We sat both indoors and in the cute, relaxed enclosed terrace which was perfect for a slightly chilly or windy day. As there's nothing advertising that this is a fully vegan café, I expect that many may walk in, eat the desserts and walk out none the wiser. That's how tasty they are.

Pros: Fully vegan and packed with flavor, excellent atmosphere and service, Centrally located with wonderful terrace
