CLOSED: Kuchenmafia

We went there , looking forward for something sweet after a lunch in an other place .
When you enter the room the first thing in minde is "amazingggggg " .
A 2,5meter table is covered by cakes and tartes and from some meters it looks awesome .
Then from nearer , we discovered that there were only 2 vegans choices ( reading the other reviews, it seems that , it s always the two same choices .... ) and as I pastryshop owner myself , I reconize in two second that most of the cake aren t really fresh . The table is a wood furniture , no cooling at all and ofcrouse after some hours ( some days for some of them ?? ) the cake were not looking nice .
We just tried the vegan chococake and must admit it was tasty as it was looking like .... boring :(

My feeling is that the cooks aren t vegan and never tasted their cake .

I , unfortunatly , cannot recommend this place . Even if we came there , really excited about the concept .

We went there looking for cakes, as the name hints ("cake-mafia") and were a little disappointed by finding only one vegan cake among the cakes, a chocoloate cake that was ok. Its a place where a vegan will find things to eat, but it doesnt offer a great variety to choose from, at least not in cakes. So we felt a bit as if we did all the travel to get there in vain. Nice relaxed coffeeshop, though, great neighbourhood joint, and with an extra room for kids to play.

A very friendly waitress explained which breakfast could be prepared vegan (the "Rustikales Frühstück" with vegetable spread, two different types of vegan cold cuts, three slices of wholemeal bread and A LOT of fruit, vegetables and salad, olives and oil) - it was a big and filling plate for 6,9€.

In general, the snacks are quite heavy on the ovo-lacto-vegetarian side but I hope that will change in the future.

There were about six different types of cake out of which two were marked vegan - chocolate cake and Linzer cake. The chocolate cake was good but nothing out of this world. The Linzer cake tasted very sweet and of not much else than sugar, I have to say. Around 2€ for a pice of cake isn't such a bad price, though, and I think it's a good thing that take-out costs an extra 30 cents.
What isn't very fair but something you come across a lot is that you're charged extra for soy milk. Even though the 20 cents they charge for this here is quite little (other places often charge about 50 cents more) I hope this discrimination will change in the future.

The atmosphere and music at Kuchenmafia were very enjoyable and if maybe not for the cake I will probably go back for their breakfast and the friendly service.
