Confusing, but taste is ok (over ask vegan foods for not having dairy!) - Edit
Hopefully this was only one time deal, but as I entered the cafe I was welcomed by grinning woman. I did not pay too much attention to it, as maybe she was having a bad day and ordered their vegan labeled foods.
After awhile they brought me a dish which had plins with a white sauce and at first I did not understand that this was sour cream because I have not had dairy for a good long while, but after one bite it was obvious. I was upset, since they say the dish is vegan...
So I asked, what it was, just to make sure. I over checked the menu and it was clearly labeled as vegan. She bluntly went to kitchen, came back and stated yes, it is dairy - and then just minded her own business, like she did not care. After I asked why is it says vegan, she did not reply.
But back to the food, the plins were pretty ok, but no sauce. We also had veg burgers, which were more like betrood mashpotato mix between buns, was really not a burger, but was pretty ok nonetheless. There just was no patty, it was all just mashed up stuff. And there was the same potato mashup between the burger and as a sauce next to the plate, which really is not a good thing to do dishwise ( just too boring and really does not add anything to the dish). They pretty much did not have any vegan cream in the house, that seemed to be the issue.
After a while an other waiter came to us with another bowl of that mashup potato sauce thing to give us for the plins (that did not have an edible sauce to us), but we refused, since there was already too much of that potato mashup thing everywhere and we were already using it for the plins so that was weird experience.
As we paid as we ordered, when we left, there was no one to say goodbye and it just felt like they did not want to see us no more.
And the taste is ok, boring, but made out of quality materials. The buns for the burger were good since it seemed that they baked those there.
So if you visit, I hope that you get a better experience, maybe it was just a bad day, but just over ask vegan items, since they do not seem to know, what they are advertising...
Pros: good interior
Cons: service, not a good value, confusing menu, horrible attitude

Not to be missed ! - Edit
The old factory building’s atmosphere has been carefully preserved and furnished to reflect harmony between the old and new. Kuusk Hernesto inspires, encourages and contributes to visitors minds and souls with top quality coffee (best-in-town, known under label Coffee People), tasty healthy food, snug interior and warm service. Plus their stylish courtyard terrace is like a hidden gem sinking in urban greenery and therefore - a must ! The moto "real food by real people" promises carefully chosen produces from local farmers and small businesses. Definitely worth a peek !
Pros: very good coffee, also decaf options, friendly staff, good value
