Good raw desserts

I liked the raw chocolate cake and the yellow and chocolate macarons more than the other sweets I bought. I would return to buy more types of cakes. There is only one table with two chairs and they do not sell any drinks, so it is more a place to buy things to go. However, when I asked whether they had any drinks, the pastry chef gave me a cup of water and also a spoon to eat my cake which was kind of her. The cakes cost 15 lei/100 grams and my slice of cake and 9 small sweets were 49 lei which seemed really expensive compared to other restaurants that have raw desserts in Bucharest. I was actually a bit surprised at the cost when I got the total. They were also just piled on top of each other in the styrofoam container. I took my photos of the cake and small sweets in the store and just moving from the cash register to the table, some of the sweets had fallen in the container. It would be nice to improve the packaging to make it more environmentally friendly or maybe give it a better presentation especially given the price (as most pastry shops have nicer boxes for their products). I was able to see the kitchen from the street and it appeared very clean.

Also some of their desserts contain honey, but I am not sure what percentage. I only noticed when flipping through their catalog with their cakes.

Sweet vegan treats in Bucharest

I visited pre covid times during a trip with a charity, although the prices appear steep (especially for Romania) & the portions small to the untrained eye, as a vegan pastry chef I can understand the time & effort that goes into creating these tiny but mighty little sweets as well as well as how rich they are!
As with any bakery type items, it's always recommended to either reserve when possible or visit earlier in the day to avoid disappointment.
When travel is allowed again I look forward to returning!
Mi-au plăcut foarte mult aceste deserturi.

Visite chez ostraw vegan

Nous voulions prendre des pâtisseries. Quand nous sommes arrivés (fin d'après midi certes) il n'y avait que quelques pâtisseries qui restaient, des toutes petites parts et des chocolats. Quand nous avons vu le prix nous avons trouvé cela bien trop élevé pour la petite quantité. Nous sommes donc parties déçues

Pros: Tout semble vegan

Cons: Bien trop cher pour des si petites parts

Delicious cake!

Ordered a 10 people birthday cake, namely the mint & chocolate one and it was really good. The prices are a bit high for Romanian standards, but it's worth it on such a special occasion. The cake was directly delivered at home, so this review is solely based on the product itself, not the location.

Many desserts

I was there half a year ago, I think and they had many desserts and cakes, but I didn`t really like that much the sweets I bought. The cakes might be better though.
It might not be easy to find the street and the place is very small, but it has big windows and once you get on the street you will see it.
