When my vegan and gluten-intolerant friend suggested brunch here, my curiousity was definitely…read morepiqued. Going out to eat with him can be a difficult affair so we usually cook food ourselves. Although it looks like a regular coffee shop from outside, apparently almost everything served from pastry to brunch is vegan!
The interior looks hip with high ceilings and huge windows. Too bad there isn't much to look at besides trash sitting outside an apartment. I started with an ice coffee (36 dkk) since it was such a warm morning. I requested it with soymilk and without syrup, which didn't cost any extra. Although I was sitting in the little room up the very narrow steps, the girl behind the counter brought my coffee over; it was refreshing and tasted fine.
After my friends arrived, we all ordered the vegan brunch plate (99 dkk). Normally it comes with vegan "cheese" but they were out that day. Instead we got two spreads which I actually preferred, one beetroot and one hummus. Besides that it comes with scrambled tofu, arugula, soy yogurt with muesli and a strawberry, vegan "butter", a small pancake, a small roll, two small slices of seedy bread, some sort of ginger marmalade, and fresh fruit. The friend mentioned in the beginning of my review got a plate without muesli or the roll but apparently the other two small slices were gluten-free. Bri has a peanut allergy and the employees were happy to double-check if there were peanuts in anything.
Everything was delicious, especially the spreads. I hope they will make that a regular option instead of the "cheese." Also the assorted fruits were fresh and well-ripened. I especially liked the half of passionfruit and the pineapple slices which were perfectly sweet. A lot of times you just get a slice of soggy melon and some soft grapes at other brunch places, which I hate.
For a vegan brunch, this was great. I wish they had some other options though, like a "dirty brunch" with added fried potatoes and mushrooms versus this clean one. The service was good and the sandwich options as well as pastries tempted me, so I'd like to come back to try some other stuff. They also have free wifi and several outlets next to chairs so you can bring your laptop and get some work done.
