Disappointing

I’ve been a vegan for fifteen years and I found the food here lacking in terms of taste/balance. I had the crepes with the “cocoa paste” and didn’t eat much of them in the end as the balance of flavors was just odd—and I’m no stranger to using whole foods (coconut cream, hazelnuts, etc) to make fillings, etc. I had hoped for better based on the other reviews. 😔 It’s great what they’re attempting to do, but it definitely needs improvement.

Pros: Attempt at healthy, plant-based foods

Cons: Balance of flavors , Price

Cute with some options

If you have a long history with healthy/disordered alternatives - you’ll love it! It tastes amazing. But if youre like my partner, and eat normal food, you can apparently taste its healthy based or reduced sugar. We got coffees and a slice of the apple cake which were all great sizes!

great range of vegan options

cute cafe with lovely staff. they have a decent range of vegan treats, from crepes to waffles and other breakfast bits. the service was quick and the food good (i had the crepes with fruit and coconut cream, which was lovely.) the only negative is the fact all plant-based milks are extra which seems pretty unnecessary, especially for a cafe with a diverse range of vegan options. it’s also on the pricier side, but i’d still suggest a visit if you’re nearby this place.

decent brunch place but ed triggering

although I didn’t like the fitness approach (I wouldn’t call it healthy) I have to admit that the variety of vegan options is impressive. waffles were good and I recommend choosing vegan cream cheese as a topping since it’s amazing, but coffee was rather not good especially considering the price and plant based milk fee. also, I noticed that serving and actual ingredients differ a lot from review to review
the staff members were just the sweetest people though #Veganuary

Pros: lots of options and seating space , customizable meals, nice staff

Cons: promotion of unhealthy eating patterns , meals can be bland , low quality coffee

Really good vegan options

From bagels to pancakes , waffles and homemade cakes. I was spoilt for choice but chose the bagel meal with scrambled tofu. Food was delicious #Veganuary

Really good

Cute cosy place with loads of gluten free and vegan options. The food was nice, different than what we expected, and quite inventive, but really good

Fantastic vegan options!

We had brunch here and there were lots of vegan options clearly marked. We were served by Sylvie who was really friendly. Portions are really big and it was all yummy.

weird healthy vibe

Apparently they're specialized in sugar-free sweets, I'm not used to that kind of concept, I guess it's not for me.
I had fruit pierogis but was quite disappointed. I just really don't think big cold chunks of apples and other fresh fruits pair that well with warm soft pierogi. Maybe there was some sort of sauce missing.

Disappointing cake

Was excited to find some vegan cake but unfortunately I was somewhat disappointed. I had the chocolate salted caramel tart and a cheesecake with raspberry sauce on top. The salted caramel was better. The cheesecake tasted bland and somewhat grainy. Each piece cost about five US dollars

Pros: Vegan cake options

Cons: Price, Taste of cakes

Great food!

Holiday food review of Kraków!

@cakestercafe 8.5/10

Scrambled tofu and avocado 8.5/10
Apple Cake 8.5/10
Orange juice 6/10

Cakester cafe was very near our hotel and we had lunch here twice. It is vegetarian but with plenty of vegan options labelled. Portions are generous! They are friendly, a few outdoor seats but indoors is bright and pretty too.

The scrambled tofu was good. It was light and fluffy with strong tumeric taste. It needed a lot more salt and pepper which I added myself (kind of a theme in Krakow, English tastes are maybe less healthy. But a bit funny considering there was a giant salt mine!). I never saw salt and pepper already on the table but you can ask for it. The salad dressing was punchy and vinegary in a good way. Very soft white bread toast which I liked as it kept the dish quite light.

The apple cake looked huge but it had a lot of apple puree so it was actually very light in reality. It was also not too sweet at all which seems to be the preference for cakes in Krakow from our experience. Things are not sickly sweet which means you can eat a bigger portion, but I do have a very sweet tooth so I might have wanted more sugar to make it a 10/10.

I don't like bits and the orange juice was freshly squeezed. I didn't ask so it's totally my fault for ordering something I don't like.

My parents had a hummus bagel with their veggie meal and the hummus here is very much blended chickpeas. They did not add tahini or very much olive oil! Mixed feelings on that but we do have some crazy good hummus in NW London.

All in all a really lovely convenient spot for lunch/tea and cake! Highly recommend!

Pros: Scrambled tofu, Breakfast, Cakes

Great for savoury food, not for crepes

The scrambled tofu and the cabbage&mushroom pierogi were great, the crepes were bad. They just took the pre made crepes out of the fridge, so they didn't taste fresh, plus the cocoa filling was quite bad, the fresh fruits were good though and honestly the only enjoyable part of this dish. My friend (not vegan) had the waffles with bacon and said they were also good, so stick with the savory dishes and avoid the crepes

Delicious vegan dumplings

We came here to have some waffles but my husband decided to get vegan blueberry dumplings instead. The waffles very nice, a bit dry but tasty and had nice toppings. The dumplings however were amazing, they were also gluten free, and vegan gluten free dumplings are incredibly difficult to find in any restaurant.
Good prices for Kraków

Pros: Nice food, especially dumplings , Quite a few vegan options , Sugar free and gluten free options

Food was wonderful can’t complain at all, the vegan tofu scramble was lovely and the crepes were great, but the staff were rushed, unorganised and forgot half the order

Pros: Lots of vegan options , Available options were great, Good location

Cons: Staff were unorganised , One staff member wasn’t particularly friendly, Could have more vegan options

Good vegan breakfast

Had the vegan breakfast set that came with tofu scramble, bagel, orange juice and coffee. The tofu was a bit too salty but otherwise really good.

Decent place

We ate breakfast there twice as it was the closest place to our Ainbnb. First I took scrambled eggs and coffee, it was very small portion, very salty, with one slice of toasted bread and 2 salad leaves. My partner had vegan waffles with chocolate sauce and apple n cinnamon. Staff member didn’t bring chocolate sauce but they charged us for it. Again, maybe cos of both eat a lot but this 1 waffle sliced into 2 triangles wasn’t enough:) Next day we came back and experience was way better. We both had waffles but staff member was nice to explained us we actually can take 2 toppings for waffles plus sauce. I had great waffles with seasonal fruits, my partner the same, we also ordered vegan yogurt, very delicious!

Pros: Vegan and no vegan options
