Great vegan cafe! - Edit
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! - Edit
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.
Read moreHigh 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!! - Edit
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….
Read moreToday 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! - Edit
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.
Read moreThere 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.

vegan haven - Edit
Good vegan food and great customer service - what else can a vegan ask for! I discovered this place when they were still operating out of their house for cake orders only. Two years on, and their attention to quality and taste remains just the same. Try out their half moon cookies and the portobello mushroom sandwich. Oh, and the cake’s always ALWAYS good!
Read morePros: Great vegan food - desserts & savory, Hygienic, Good customer service
Cons: Open hours are short

Awesome all-vegan bakery, coffee shop, breakfast and lunch - Edit
Love the baked goods - regular items and daily specials. I think the prices for the baked goods are fair. I've been there a few times and the almond turnover and sticky buns are my favorites. They are listed on the ROC VEGAN card for 2022 so I'll be back for my free cookie!

Not what I thought - Edit
Overall disappointed. You pay top dollar for what is essentially bottom barrel vegan food. My hubby and I tried a vegan burger, a panini, two different cake cups, brownie, and onion rings. To sum all, everything tasted okay but nothing tasted amazing and considering we spent over $60 it was very disappointing.
Read morePros: Lots of vegan options, Quick service, Clean restaurant
Cons: Very Expensive, Very processed food options
HollycakeHouse
I'm sorry you were disappointed with our bakery items and food. We try incredibly hard to provide high quality items most of which are made from scratch. Obviously the Beyond Burger is processed, but our seitan, sauces and all bakery items are made from scratch in house from high quality ingredients.

Good food, but . . . - Edit
I had been wanting to try Hollycake House after seeing the review in the newspaper. The food was very good. I had "The Josephine," which is a portobello panini, and my dining companion had the "Daniel," which is described as an "Italian spin on on classic grilled cheese." Both were very good. My dining companion also had the soup of the day, and I had a side to go with the panini, along with two drinks. I was surprised that that total cost, excluding tax and tip, reached $40. It seemed a little high for lunch for two people (it actually went higher, because after seeing their baked goods, we naturally had to try something).
Read moreThe food is very good. However, the costs may limit how often we may frequent the cafe. In the end, our lunch bill came close to what we've spent on dinner for two at another vegan restaurant in Rochester.
Pros: Good food., quiet location
Cons: costs seem a bit high

Delicious Cake! - Edit
I'm glad that I found this place! I found this place last year and I ordered my wedding anniversary cake. The cake was very good it was a funfetti cake with nutella in the middle. We wish that it had more nutella in the middle because the layer was pretty thin for our preference. She will also deliver your cake if you want that option. I would recommend this bakery. 🙂
Read morePros: Very good cake, Delivery option
HollycakeHouse
Thank you so much for your review! I'm sorry that the filling wasn't thick enough, since your feedback after ordering, I've made an effort to include more fillings in each of my cakes. Thank you for your honest feedback and I'm glad you enjoyed your anniversary cake!
