Custom birthday cake - Edit
We ordered a birthday cake from Protagonist Cafe. Even though the website doesn't say it, all of their cakes are vegan. We sent a message asking about ordering a vegan cake and got back the reply that all of their cakes are vegan. We ended up ordering an 8 inch cake for 4 people after much discussion amongst ourselves. We had much more cake than we needed lol which was fine because we sent a third of it home with the in-laws and still had a third left for ourselves.
Read moreThis cake is a more dense type of cake, not super airy or fluffy. The cake was very moist and the chocolate frosting was delicious. My father in-law loved it and all the non vegans enjoyed it
The price was fair and it was easy to order through their website. Pickup was a breeze even though we ended up taking my in-laws sightseeing on the way and were a few hours late!
Pros: Delicious cake, Easy ordering and pickup, Customizable
Cons: Parking is a little tricky

Love this spot! - Edit
This place is so cute. Walls covered in books you can buy, nice drinks, and a ton of vegan baked goods (not all, but they are clearly labelled!). My partner and I had a blast drinking wine and playing games, and the scones are amazing. They also have various gifts for sale - mugs, candles, cards, etc. They even have a flavor of vegan ice cream!

Adorable and great menu - Edit
The baristas were knowledgeable on veganism, a majority of their baked goods were vegan, they had a vegan lemon poppy ice cream available, and the coffee menu was very extensive. The vibe of the coffee shop is adorable. If I ever drive through St. Louis again, I’ll definitely be back

Awesome cafe - Edit
This place has been open for just a week and is already a big hit with the vegans of St. Louis. Everything is good, food is delicious, everything is vegan unless labeled otherwise, there’s choose your own mug bottomless coffee, lots of interesting speciality drinks like s’mores and samosa Girl Scout cookie coffee, quiet jazz in background, tables with outlets nearby and couches, lots of books and games, and a gender neutral accessible restroom
Read morePros: Lots of options , Great food and drinks , Super nice decor
Cons: Like all cafes, not cheap
