Various choice

We took 3 different cream cakes, on sandwich, the non-chocolate nut cookies, a coffee brioche and a bretzel.

The texture of the cream from the cakes is amazing, it has neither a strong soy nor coconut flavour unlike a lot of them, and it’s very airy.
The cake with the maple leaf lack of taste imo.
The chocolate one was very interesting as it had banana pieces and little crunchy balls.
Haven’t eaten the blueberry one yet.
The sandwich was delicious.
The cookies were awesome too.
The coffee brioche has a good texture and the coffee taste is not too strong.
My friend was a bit disappointed with bretzel, said it was kinda too chewy.
They gave us some panettone to taste, it was super delicious!

Definitely recommend if you’re looking for vegan pastries in Shanghai.

They are also on Meituan, I am not sure if everything is available for online delivery.

Carb lovers and sweet treats paradise

Some things labelled in English but mostly in Chinese which you can use an app to translate but the staff also know limited English to help. Many items still available in the evening, I’m surprised this hasn’t got more reviews as it’s a paradise for the vegan carb and sweet treat lovers here! There’s a mix of traditional Chinese and Asian buns and sweet things like egg yolk and red bean, with soft breads. There are also patisserie like cakes, coffee, and cookie things. I got a dark chocolate bread which has a dark chocolate filling, never found something like this before but it was super yummy! And great value for 18RMB.

In terms of finding the location, look through the reviews here to help because depending on the map apps you’re using it might be inaccurate - and currently on HappyCow listing (at time of posting) it vaguely is very inaccurate. It’s the first on the left of a little complex/street off the main road. On Baidu maps it’s listed as 汝福智素食烘焙 - 黄浦区蒙自路207号1层11栋5号. The opening times as clarified with staff are 8am to 9pm.

Pros: Friendly staff, Hidden gem , Loads of vegan options

Cons: Small seating areas

Worth visiting

They have a wide variety of options to choose from, all looking absolutely delicious. I tried a coconut and pineapple pastry, and it was amazing.

Vegan patisserie

I tried their mango cake and it was delicious. The whipped cream was amazing and the fruit so fresh.
I also ordered some breads.

Very nice and different experience

They open early but don’t have a lot of things before 11. We have tried different breads and some desserts.

Beyond conceivable expectations

This place has an incredible variety of baked goods and sandwiches as well as great coffee. It has a veganized version of basically every traditional Chinese sweet and then a lot of amazing others. The coffee prices are comparable to any chain & the food is comparable to any higher end sit-in restaurant. They have nice but limited seating!

it took me an hour to find it with the map here, so here are better directions until it's updated:

If using Google:

You can put "the one take coffee" into your maps if you're using Amap or another one better in China.

I've also attached a picture you can show people in the area in case you need help.

Pros: Great service , Delicious food & coffee, Good prices

Fully vegan bakery, a must visit!

Super delicious and very many choices. We got a few different options, including a traditional "egg bun" and all was so tasty...especially their tiny cakes with a real depth of flavor to them. Coffee was also spot on! Looking forward to our next visit to try more of their sweet and savory items.

Pros: Fully vegan, Food is both artistic and tasty, Very fair pricing
