I must admit that the word "vegan" horrifies me now and then.
Don't get me wrong, I love my vegan friends and totally respect their decision to abandon bacon and dairy products altogether, but I feel that those stuff are too important in my life to make me even consider to try vegan products.
But when you are in Sweden, sometimes you could unexpectedly went to a vegan cafe and that's what Richard S and I did last time. I didn't see the word "vegan" until last minute and that when I was already desperate for some coffee and cake because I hadn't had proper breakfast and lunch at our Malmö office.
Gimme a cake, I said (well, not exactly that), and I got chocolate brownies with mocha and a cortado, while he got some peanut butter pie with lingonberries on top (so Swedish) and vanilla sauce with black coffee. My brownie felt massive without egg. It felt like a block of brick to me, but I ain't complaining since I was hungry and the brick consistence was actually very filling. Again, it wasn't bad and it was very chocolate-y, just not in the moisty sense that a brownie should be.
The peanut butter pie was VERY SWEET and I am far from having sweet tooth, so you're warned now. I guess the lingonberries on top would give it nice sour twist for the pie along with vanilla sauce that even the cafe attendant warned that it didn't go well along with the pie (so, why did you serve it then?)
Sorry, the two stars is for the fact that they're not serious about their own food. I didn't try their "thai stew with tofu and pakchoy - which I am pretty sure it could be super delicious since I'm fan of those two - but you don't serve a pie with a sauce that you yourself think that they don't match together, do you? I had no complaints about my brownies but still the carnivores in me would rather go to another cafe with milk and egg option.
Service is ok, you could get refill for your black coffee and the place is decorated nicely that almost look like your grandmother's living room. Quite cozy, I suppose - but unless you're a vegan, I would say try go somewhere else read more
