Nicely surprised takeaway

I have been to this place a few years ago. Very small place, so not a lot a space to sit. However, on a beautiful day, I suggest to take away and find yourself a nice spot outside.
Sandwiches were good but no wahouuuu factor. However, the cheesecake was delicious!

Good but...

I was willing to try this bakery for a while. This is a really small shop where, unfortunately, you don't have a lot of choices in dishes contrary to desserts. This day, I could choose between some kind of quiche and a sandwich filled with hummus and tofu (the sandwich was really with the price but not as tasty as I could have imagined). The cookies were also good but I've seen better.

hit & miss food & price wise - unwelcoming owner

I have been there several times and the owner is most often not very welcoming.

foods to try out:
lasagnas (mushroom or pistachio) - the bomb, texture, taste are great! generous size as well. cupcakes - all are pretty good, lots of different combinations to try from
cookies - good taste & texture

hit & miss:
brownies & cheescakes: can be too heavy, dry, some too sweet - really depends on the one you try out and your personnal preferences

miss:
sandwiches: underfilled and pricy; empty and no fresh / fun fillings
tartes/ quiches: just a very flat douch with little veggie & tofu on it, SMALL slices so not filling at all overpriced.

Pros: lasagnas, cupcakes & cookies

Cons: staff / ambiance, price / portion

Nice place

I went there a couple of times when I used to live in Paris back in 2016.
At the time, I was loving the sandwiches.
The cakes were tasty too, but I've eaten better cakes since then, and I don't know what they taste like now (5 years later).
Anyway, it's a place I recommend if you're in the area.

Pros: Good sandwiches, Nice owner/staff

Cons: Small place

Good

Cookies very crunchy and a little bit salty. Cupcakes are delicious and soft. And I also took a round chocolate pastry (don’t remember the name) which was a little heavy but tasty with the pear inside.

Nice engaged place

I like to go there when I want to hear about the next vegan actualities, animals rights etc. You can feel it's a animal lovers place and owner. She is preparing great vegan food made with love and without any cruelty. Cakes are very tasty and prices great comparing other places in Paris.

Pros: Engaged place, Amazing cakes, Owner

Unhappy woman

I have tried a few times here but every time, the woman (I am assuming she is the owner) seems quite unhappy. I feel like we are disturbing her.

Cons: Unpleasant service , Food is just ok

Yum! I recommend take-out

The cheesecake was really yummy! 6€ is pretty expensive though. It was all organic and the lady was very nice. I dont recommend eating it inside though because it was the opposite of cosy!

Simple et raisonnable

C’est probablement la plus ancienne pâtisserie vegan de Paris et la seule rive gauche . Les desserts sont bons , un peu old school , et l’endroit , qui a été rénové il n’y a pas longtemps est calme et lumineux et situé dans la belle Rue Mouffetard . En plus des desserts et du salé ils vendent aussi des glaces et le délicieux «  La bonne foi «  de Marie-Sophie L .

De supers sandwichs et pâtisseries Vegan

On a eu l'occasion d'aller plusieurs fois à ce restaurant et l’accueil y est toujours très chaleureux! Proche d'une station de Métro ce qui le rend très accessible. Par contre, il n'y a pratiquement pas de places à l'intérieur ni toilettes.
Le restaurant propose du salé et du sucré: des sandwichs et quiches, des cupcakes, cookies, brownie et cheesecakes. Les cupcakes proposés sont super jolis et changent régulièrement. Vegan Folie's propose aussi de faire des gâteaux sur réservation.
Les Arènes de Lutèce ne sont pas loin du tout et il est facile de s'y poser pour manger plus tranquillement ^_^

Pros: Tout est Vegan et délicieux, Super accueil et service, Près du Métro (station Place Monge)

Cons: Petit restaurant

Decent

Ordered a baguette with bolognaise and cookie for my lunch. The bolognaise was fine, but the sandwich was a bit dry and underwhelming. The cookie was good, nice and crunchy. Nothing to shout home about but if I was in the area I would go again if I needed a quick bite.

Delicious and Friendly!

On a trip to Paris we stopped here to get some Vegan desserts. They had Vegan Tiramisu which is very rare to fine. It was delicious! We also got a slice of baked raspberry cheesecake and some coffee. It was very quaint and nice. The person working spoke well enough English for us and was very helpful. We talked about some other vegan restaurants in town too. It was a very nice experience.

Vegan, but not too tasty

I'm glad that it's vegan, but the taste and consistency of the desserts wasn't very good.

Not cozy enough

This place is truly vegan, filled with lots of vegan activism stickers and paintings of animals on the walls. However the place itself is not very cozy and it feels more like a store rather than a café. Good assortments of baked goods but slightly too expensive for my taste (6 € for one brownie), but definitely worth a visit and the neighborhood was really nice!

Pros: Fully vegan, Activism

Good local place

They actively promote animal welfare and have informative posters around the shop. The staff are friendly and will explain to you what is in each of the dishes. I would highly recommend the cold desserts as they taste amazing and are super creamy. Unfortunately as I think all the food is made in the morning, it can go a bit stale by the end of the day. Also if you want your food hot (eg the lasagne), they’ll microwave and this affects the texture.

Pros: Good meal deals, Lovely desserts

Cons: All cold food

I wish I had skipped this one

I wish I had checked the reviews before walking to this place for an hour. I also wish the owner(s) read the 1/2-star reviews because my complaints are not new at all, it seems.

1. The woman serving us was not very friendly. The place was empty when we came in, so she wasn't overwhelmed in any way but she still hardly managed to smile at us.

2. The walnut lasagna was warmed up in the microwave and tasted almost off. The walnut on the top was definitely rancid and the tofu was dry (who knows how long it had been sitting there before we ate it). Also ridiculously overpriced.

3. The cheesecake was too textured and not cold enough. Warmish cheesecake, ugh.

4. The Under the dome ball seems like an awesome idea but it was also not cold enough and tasted old.

5. The brownie is so dry, it's literally hard to swallow without a drink.

6. They could at least play some music, the place just seems sad with only two costumers and a bored waitress behind her laptop.

Two stars because the interior is well done and because they honestly seem to want to do good for the animals. This just isn't the way, though. I was turned off as a vegan, let alone random non-vegan costumers. Please work on improving the things I listed, it would make a huge difference.

Pros: They actively promote animal rights., Sturdy interior.

Cons: Stale food., Overpriced (stale) food., Boring atmoshepre.

totally agree - owner super unwelcoming and some prices are just a joke compared to how much item would fill you up (small portion) or what's in/on it (tartes are small and just made of flat dough with some sprinkled veggies and tofu ; sandwiches bearly have any filling - mostly eating bread).

good place for the lasagnas & cupcakes though but rest is very average and expensive

The deserts are great

The cheesecakes are about as close as you can get to the real thing.

Best vegan cheesecake!

Nice little cafe in an area of Paris with limited vegan options. Friendly service. Mains are lasagne, filled baguettes and a pizza-like option. There are a lot of dessert options and the cheese was like a traditional baked cheesecake- really good!

Pros: Fantastic cheesecake, Lots of sweet options

Cons: Limited seating, Limited savoury options

Delicious cheesecake, mediocre food

Went for lunch here. The baguettes, at 5.50€ each are affordable and nice enough if you're hungry. I had the almond chocolate cheesecake though, and it was beautiful.
The carrot cake was kind of dry (but tasty), unfortunately my cappuccino was tasteless.

To for the cheesecake, get lunch elsewhere.

Pros: Cheesecake , Reasonably priced (for Paris)

Cons: Food was mediocre , Cappuccino

pretty good experience :)

overall a decent experience. came here later on in the day so the lunch options were limited but good nevertheless. probably best to go earlier on in the day if you want the freshest meal. Had the vegan “cheese” sandwich and the chocolate cheese cake which were both pretty good, the dessert definitely better than the lunch though. a bit bright and sterile for my liking, but still had a nice time anyway. i wouldn’t go out of my way to go here, as there are better vegan places to go in paris but good if you’re near by. :))

Pros: simple but tasty lunch, plenty of dessert choice

Cons: limited options later on in the day
