Always a favorite

Trying to do better at reviewing local places and not just on trips. This is a favorite breakfast place in the area, everything is good here. The quality doesn't take a backseat even when they're busy. Tried just about everything on the menu but the sante fe sandwich is my favorite. The only con here is the limited hours, they are only open for short periods on the weekend.

Pros: Great breakfast sandwiches, Friendly staff, Good portions

Cons: Limited hours, I bit pricey

Good!

The "Vera" fried chick'n sandwich was delicious. Its "meat" had a really great texture. The eggnog cupcake 's frosting is nice and it really does taste like eggnog, but the cupcake itself has a strange, kind of dry (not quite grainy) texture that I don't like. Small for its price.

Pros: Taste

Cons: Cupcake texture

Excellent

Ordered from here a few times before today but managed to finally get over there this afternoon. Sweet and savory options are all great! Personally, I'm not the biggest fan of their egg patty so I stick to the lunch menu - usually the fried chick'n sandwich.

They are only open two days right now so please support them when they are open so hopefully they can bring on some staff and open back up more!

Pros: Great food, Friendly staff

Cons: Limited hours, A little expensive

Great vegan bakery in East Rochester

I visited for lunch with a friend on a Sunday. The place was hopping and busy, which was great to see. I had a London Fog tea with oat milk, and the special "grilled steak" seitan with peppers and onions. So good! I dug into it so quickly that I forgot to snap a photo. I brought home some treats for the fam, including a chocolate cake jar and a coffee cake muffin. Will definitely be back soon.

Pros: So many great choices, Friendly and helpful staff, Easy parking and access

Cons: Not a con, but I suggest adding some savory buns

Died and went to Hollycake house?

There was a sandwich with the same name as my partner, unique spelling and all. It was delicious! The desserts seemed made specifically for me, hitting all the right notes. I would have bought them out of every treat they had, if I wouldn’t’ve felt too guilty depriving everyone else coming in that day. The one Gatorade flavor they had in front was my absolute favorite, and I feel like it’s one that I hardly see anywhere. The staff was friendly and vaguely familiar.

Sweet Café

Great breakfast, lunch and place to get drinks and treats. Everything we tried here tasted good so far. I recommend trying the Venetian on a bagel.

Yummy!

Got a breakfast sandwich to split with my partner, and it was excellent! It was large enough for us to split and feel satisfied. I also got a cold brew coffee with cold foam, which was a pleasant treat as I don't usually see that option for vegans. I look forward to going back to try more of the menu items!

Pros: Everything is vegan!

Good find

It’s an excellent place to visit for breakfast. They have several breakfast sandwiches and pastries. Seating is a little awkward, but if I lived in the area I would be happy to get takeout. The food we had was delicious, and I would visit again to try a lunch item.

A new fav!!

We were so looking forward to trying out this new café, and it did not disappoint. The menu is huge and they have lots of bakery items available. The Cheeseburger Soup we had was DELICIOUS, as were the breakfast wrap and sandwich. The cakes in a jar are moist and flavourful, and the chocolate croissants were flaky and buttery. Plus the staff is just so friendly. This is a really feel-good place with amazing food. A ! #Veganuary

Pros: Large menu, Delicious food, Very friendly staff

Perfectly lovely

There are so many options here it also makes me lil vegan heart dizzy! There’s so much to try.
I highly recommend their scones and their muffins. They aren’t overwhelmingly sweet like a lot of vegan desserts, but have just enough to make any sweet tooth happy.
Their breakfast sandwiches were pleasant, but they did not have as much flavor as most things I look for at the price point.
However, completely worth it to support a vegan, women owned business!
A great treat for sure

Vegan Desserts!

We preordered some desserts. Of course, while we were there, we had to try breakfast. The breakfast sandwiches were great. We ordered 2 pies, 1 1/2 dozen cupcakes to try a few different flavors, cinnamon buns and a dozen creampuffs. Yes, we came with coolers! We have only tried the creampuffs so far, but DAMN, I could not tell that they were vegan. They were fantastic! Can't wait to try the other goodies.

Good sandwiches but pricey

We ordered two sandwiches - BLT and a burger (which showed fries in the photo) and two drinks, that alone plus tip was $40. That is quite pricey considering you do not get anything but the sandwich (which my blt could have used more b). Potatoes are not expensive, chips and a pickle would make the price more understandable. We left still hungry but glad to try a new place and support a vegan business.

Pros: Sandwich was tasty, Place was clean, Staff friendly

Cons: Pricey, Sandwiches should have chips for price

My go-to vegan spot!

I go here almost every weekend! Definitely underrated by the Rochester vegan community, but it is one of the best. My omnivore dad absolutely loves it here and recommends it to all of his fellow non-vegan friends and family. Favorites: emerald isle mint cream cake, chocolate chip muffins, gluten free red velvet cupcakes, potato salad, all breakfast sandwiches!

Great vegan cafe!

It’s so great seeing more 100% vegan places pop up in Rochester. Holly cake is such a great addition. All of the desserts looked amazing, I got a cookie but need to come back to try more desserts. My partner and I both ordered sandwiches in addition to a side of hash browns. The hash browns remind me of the ones I used to get from fast food places as a kid, which were so good! It’s so great to have a vegan version of those.

Do not miss!

Found the Hollycake House while visiting Rachacha. All vegan bakery options, breakfast and lunch sammies. Highly recommend the Venetian breakfast sandwich: super delicious. Muffins were excellent too.
High marks to the staff, all super friendly and welcoming. You have to put Hollycake House on your list, if you’re local I bet you’ll be back (and so will I)!

Pros: All 100% vegan , Awesome breakfast sammies, Super friendly staff

Cons: Little difficult to find but worth the search!

Those scones!!

The vanilla toasted almond scone was the best baked good I’ve had in a long time. Earlier in the week I stopped in; had the scone and a chai latte, which was also great bc they make their own mix. That scone tho….

Today I got take out with my mom and my aunt and we all enjoyed our sandwiches. My aunt got the vanilla almond scone and I tried the blueberry. Outstanding again. If I ever need a dessert for an event this is where I’ll go for sure. Staff was super friendly and helpful. Very impressive.

Great food!

This is a wonderful little place that I try to visit every time I find myself in East Rochester. The sandwiches here are delicious and reasonably priced. Every one I’ve tried tastes very fresh and flavorful. I’m especially fond of the “chicken” salad.

There is a nice assortment of tempting-looking baked goods. I’m not a big fan of the cupcakes, but the chocolate cookies are amazing!

I always get take out, but there is a counter with stools for people who want to eat in. There are also a few cafe tables in the building’s lobby.

Pros: Tasty food and friendly service, Reasonable prices for fully vegan fare, Gluten free items available
