Little choice, but cake was good

There were only 2 vegan cakes on the menu, and one of them was sold out. Would have been nice to have some more choice. However, the taste was good and the café is nice and cozy. I did find it a bit too pricey for what you got

Dirty Chai Erweckung

Ich durfte während meiner vergangenen Ausflüge in diverse Cafes und Restaurants schon viele verschiedene Varianten von Chai-Lattes und Espressos probieren - jedoch kam mir nie in dem Sinn, dass die Kombination dieser beiden Getränke eine wahrlich gute Idee wäre.

Das What the Cake hat diesem Versäumnis nun endlich abhelfen können und ich wurde geläutert.

Zusätzlich wurden wir mit einem Erdnuss-/Schoko Riegel bzw Kuchen und einem Zitronenkäsekuchen versorgt. Der Riegel schmeckte wie ein Snickers nur mit einem viel hübscheren Äußeren 🥰 Der Zitronenkäsekuchen war ebenso sehr lecker und mir gefielen besonders die kleinen Zitronenstückchen auf der Füllung.

Das Ambiente war ebenso sehr gemütlich und erinnerte an eine Wohnzimmerromantik. Lediglich der Service hätte freundlicher und aufmerksamer sein können 😅 Wir werden aber trotzdem wieder vorbeikommen für den Dirty Chai und um weitere Kuchen zu probieren.

Geschmacklich gut

Wir wollten uns eigentlich reinsetzen, da es geregnet hat, es wurden auch gerade Plätze frei. Die Mitarbeitenden, die soweit freundlich waren, meinten aber, dass sie niemanden mehr hinsetzen lassen, da sie in knapp einer Stunde schließen, dies betraf auch andere nach uns.

Die veganen Kuchen sind gelabelt und es gibt die Möglichkeit einige Getränke vegan zu bekommen, wobei für die Pflanzendrinks ein Aufpreis genommen wird.

Wir haben dann Kuchen und Kakao mitgenommen. Beides war sehr lecker, aber der Kakao war, gerade zum mitnehmen, recht teuer.

Pros: Die Mitarbeitende wissen was vegan bedeutet, Vegane Kuchen sind gelabelt

Cons: Aufpreis für Getränke mit Pflanzendrink

Mignon et délicieux

Pâtisseries véganes très bonnes (notamment les cheesecakes !!) dans un joli salon de thé vintage, à proximité du centre-ville. Je m’y arrête à chaque fois que je vais à Strasbourg !

Obwohl es etwas kostspielig ist waren die veganen Kuchen sooo lecker wie ich es weltweit selten erleben durfte. Ein Geschmackserlebnis, Danke! Außerdem sehr freundliches Personal!

Bon et bien situé

La carte est restreinte mais tout est bon 😋 Vaut mieux ça que l'inverse. Même quand on est allergique au tofu comme moi on y trouve sans problème ce qu'on veut. Ils sont super sympa. Et les desserts sont aussi bons que beaux. Une excellente adresse sur Strasbourg !

Pros: Bon, Les desserts !

Cons: C'est petit donc vite plein

Opciones veganas

Cafetería en la que suelen ofrecer solo un par de opciones veganas. Eso sí, muy ricas. El precio un poco excesivo.

Nice place

I had a piece of cake to take away because the restaurant was full. It looked cozy though. The cake was very good but small for the price. I'm always happy when a non-vegan restaurant integrates vegan dessert options.

Cute place, yummy deserts

J’ai choisi le cupcake citron/cajous qui était très bon. Il y a deux options vegan. La décoration à l’intérieur est trop mignonne, avec un atmosphère confortable. Le chai latte aurai dû être mieux.
I chose the lemon/cashew flavored cupcake which was really good. There are two vegan options and all the drinks can be made with soya milk. The atmosphere was cosy and adorable. I don’t recommend the chai latte, too bland.

Pâtisserie vegan délicieuse

Il y avait 2 options pour des pâtisseries vegan et le reste était sans gluten. J'ai choisi le cheesecake citron vert qui était délicieux. En revanche je ne recommande pas le chai latte au lait de soja car je l'ai trouvé un peu fade, il manquait d'épices à mon goût. Cela un reste un endroit vraiment sympathique, avec un décor cosy et des fauteuils confortables. À tester donc !

Pros: Quelques options de pâtisseries vegan

Cons: Chai latte trop peu épicé

nice for coffee and cake!

Nice comfy and pretty café with plenty of space to sit. Just a few vegan options but clearly labelled, including a cupcake and cheesecake, and soya milk for coffee. Nice coffee and cake stop in the centre of town!

coffee and cake

Great little cafe with vegan options clearly marked. Had a vegan chocolate cheesecake with a hot chocolate and cappuccino on soy milk (super hard to find in France). Staff were lovely. All their syrups are vegan as well.

Pros: vegan cheesecake, soy milk, lovely staff

Cosy and lovely place

I love this place so much, especialy for their vegan cheesecake and the big salad and wrap for lunch (with an amazing eggplant caviar). They change the menu regularly (for cheesecakes, cupcakes and wraps), a good reason to have a break at What the cake every month. :)

I also love the decoration, so cute and cosy. Also, every month you can discover a new photography/illustration exposition (local artists).

Pros: Amazing cheesecake, Friendly and welcoming, They replace cow milk by soy milk if you ask

Ok

We bought a cupcake and a piece of cheesecake. Both cost around 4€ which is rather expensive.

The cupcake was tasty but the chocolate-speculoos cheesecake wasn't anything special at all for this price. It didn't really taste like chocolate, wasn't very sweet but contained a lot of fat.

The desserts were lovingly decorated.

Pros: big range

Cons: rather high prices
