Bakery

Little place for coffee, pastries, juices, granola bowls with yogurt, and milkshakes. Plant milks available. As of Mar 2018 pastries are all-vegan. Previously at Haarlemmerstraat 181. Food is all vegan but cow's milk is offered for drinks. Open Mon-Fri 10:00-17:00, Sat-Sun 09:00-17:00.

Nice little Cafe

All the food is vegan. They provide dairy milk on request.
A very short walk from the Burcht ( oldest surviving castle in Leiden) so be sure to stop by when touring. I had a great chocolate filled pastry with a cappuccino. Service was good and very pleasant atmosphere. Keep an eye open as they don’t have a sign post.

So-so Oreo

There weren't many pastries available, so I chose an Oreo brownie. The Oreo was too soft, and the brownie was fudge-like, but dry.

Pros: food is all vegan

Cons: dairy milk supposedly available, limited pastry selection, no towels at sink

Tasty pain au chocolat

Had a tasty pain au chocolat here recently. Got an Oreo brownie too but didn’t enjoy this as much- it had a strange cinnamon taste. I think the prices are reasonable and it’s nice to have somewhere to get vegan sweet treats in Leiden. Overall would recommend😄

Pros: Tasty pain au chocolat, Reasonable prices, Nice interior

Drinken met iets lekkers

Prima koffie en chocomelk. Ik had nog een taartje, welk erg lekker was. En een croissant meegenomen, deze smaakte prima, zoals een croissant.
Volgens mij is het enige non-vegan dat ze nog hebben koeienmelk.

Pros: Almost totally vegan

Cons: Serve cows milk

It’s okay

Great place to get vegan croissants and other sweets and coffee. BUT, it’s expense and the portions (cake slices) are very small.

A great space. Try the teas and the croissants!

I Scream is a lovely relaxed space in the town centre, with coffee bar, craft shop and co-working space too. The coffee is good, there's a selection of good teas too, and the pastries? Great! The vegan-ham-and-cheese croissant is really nicely done, and the almond croissant too (they're not "light" croissants!). Also some other ace vegan cakes e.g. butterkoek.

I Scream is entirely vegan, I think, except that they have cow milk as an option for the coffees.

Nice place in the city center of Leiden

They have delicious chai lattes and all kinds of homemade vegan cakes. Highly recommend the banana bread or the chocolate cake. I'm not a coffee drinker, but from what I have heard their coffee is very tasty as well. 😉

Lovely self-made chai latte

I have enjoyed a chai latte with oat milk in this modern and cozy place that mixes bakery, cafe and shop. The bar keeper has explained that he creates the spice mix for this chai latte himself, and you really have to try it!

Updated from previous review on 2020-07-17

Pros: Modern lively and cozy, Friendly staff, Centrally located

Cons: Not completely vegan, Not completely organic

Great cake, great people

I love coming here to get some cake. It's always very yum, no matter if you get the one from epicurieus or the cake they make themselves. The staff is really kind and friendly. I also love the kind of shared space they now have with some vintage clothing you can buy and working space you can rent for freelancers. Very lovely concept.

Pros: Great cake, Kind people, Awesome concept
