Didn't like it, but that's personal

I really don't understand the 3-hour+ queue just to grab something at basically what is an influencer café. I like the fact that as a "celebrity" influencer you choose to offer vegan menus but my guess is that this choice was rather motivated by the fact that vegan food can also be "compatible" with other "restrictions" / religio*s "diets" but I would have loved that someone with such an "audience" (whatever that means) would take advantage of it to promote veganism and talk more about it. At the end of the day, it's just about making money, not promoting veganism, animal welfare, the environment... Anyway, that was a long rant, but my recommendation is to rather go to another small local vegan business, where you will definitely wait less time, be less surrounded by hysterical teenagers etc.

Vegan options in the BHV department store

Unfortunately it's not common to find decent vegan options in Parisian department stores.
So it's a nice surprise to see that Hotel Mahfouf offers both sweets (donuts, açai bowl) and savory (hotdog) options. This in addition to oat/almond milk for the drinks.

The café can get busy during the weekends, so I'd suggest first finding a table.

Note that this is a temporary pop-up, so it will only be there until Sunday, April 27th.

Pros: marks vegan options, location

Cons: not all vegan
