Such an awesome find! The sweets are as delicious as they are beautiful! The cheese tasting plate is so fun and great for sharing between friends or a date. I was so excited and impressed to find this plant based cafe. I recommend for vegans, or anyone looking for something interesting and new to try.

Im not vegan, have no dietary restrictions and cheesecake is my favorite dessert. If you served me their cheesecake I would not have guessed it was vegan + gluten free. The non cheesecake mini cakes were good but it wasnt clear what they were trying to be. Is it a mousse? An ice cream cake? Not a big enough deal to knock a star and it still tastes great.

I’ve been here a couple of times and their cakes are good. Today I was taking my time because I have not tried the cheeses and was looking to see if I wanted to try a different cake. One of the girls working there tells me “you’ve been here before you should know what you want” Not the way a customer should be spoken to. Especially when she had no problem helping the people in front of me.

Forget the fact that its vegan, it doesnt matter and should not sway your decision to indulge in these finely crafted desserts. They are addicting, beautifully presented and well balanced in texture and flavors. My wife and I crave Planthropie and will go out of our way to indulge in their offerings.

Planthropie is in my top five places to get food in the world. I have honestly never had better cheese (think cheese spread) in my entire life, vegan or otherwise. Plus the mini cakes Ive tried so far are out of this world! The staff is so friendly and they know what they are doing. The food is surprisingly healthy for how incredible it is and the presentation is absolutely gorgeous. Im personally not a huge fan of their truffles but everything else Ive had is top tier. Every time I eat their food it is an emotional experience. I cannot emphasize enough how wonderful Planthropie is; youll have to see for yourself.

I absolutely LOVE Planthropie! Like EVERY SINGLE ITEM and every experience I have in-store. The vegan cheese is so delicious and the consistency is amazing. I love how they balance out the various flavors and it absolutely GORGEOUS inside! The presentation is incredible and the service is always 100%. If you haven’t tried the Neapolitan coffee, you MUST GO NOW! I also love the regular coffee, but adding a splash of flavor is always exciting. I’m so grateful to have Planthropie as an option on my vegan journey. Thank you so much.

Best description of this place is if the king of England went plant based and wanted to hire the best people to make his deserts. Stand out the AU COCAO takes like a chocolate soufflé.

Our experience at Planthropie was incredible. The food is so fresh and tastes amazing. The staff went above and beyond to make our table feel so taken care of. I 110% recommend Planthropie and will be ordering from them for weekly meals, family gatherings, and events.

Planthropie is incredible! In addition to their food being gluten, dairy, soy, and refined sugar free, it is vegan, organic, and raw. More importantly, it is the best tasting dessert and cheese I have ever had. I am not vegan, but Planthropies desserts are better than the real thing. This place is wonderful for foodies, people who have food sensitivities, or anyone who cares about the quality of their food. Additionally, Ruas cake design is absolutely breathtaking. Take a look below at the gorgeous cake she made for me, and also some shots of cheeses are other desserts. Their design aesthetic both in the space and the food is beautiful. The whole business is run with such great care and they have become my favorite dessert place!

Awesome Decor! They have an amazing selection of healthy vegan cakes and mini desserts . They use cashews, dates and pistachios. The owner was very kind and explain the different options and flavors. Their jasmine tea is also phenomenal!

My wife and I stopped in after a family dinner in the area. We were craving dessert of which vegan options are not plentiful and we arent from the area so we couldnt resist indulging when we could! We had the best experience and was blown away by the choices we had! We were a bit closer to their closing time than we like to go into establishments but the woman taking care of us was still the nicest, super helpful, and patient person with us. She even was taking time to answer questions about the menu and share her favorites. We got about 4 cheeses and cheesecakes, and a pistachio truffle. Everything was SO GOOD and the service was on point. We cant wait until we are back in the area to visit again!

Review №26

Just ok- Im vegan, my daughter is allergic to dairy and my husband eats everything. Tried 2 different flavors of mini cakes for Fathers Day with my parents and each one of us (5 total) thought they were just ok. Avalon and other bakerys vegan options are much more decadent, creamy and flavorful (not to mention better priced then here). Also bought the Hazelnut Cacao spread - no one liked that. The peanut butter cookie dough balls were dry, dry, dry. Just reinforces why I just bake vegan desserts myself.

Amazing gluten free, grain free and vegan desserts! I have a lot of food allergies and have not been able to eat dessert in a long time. This place is perfect! You’d never know the desserts are made vegan. The cheese is also the best vegan cheese I’ve ever eaten. When the food is this good and safe to eat, cost means nothing to me. Not cheap but soo worth every penny spent!

Appreciate a new vegan business in the area. Just wish the price wasnt so ridiculously high for the amount of product you get. Beautiful presentation and nice space for a dessert or meet up with a vegan friend. Was happy to support although this place wont attract non-vegans, overall what you get for your money doesnt justify the cost. Hope they stick around though.

Review №32

I love this place. They’re much needed. Everything is great. For those complaining about cost, using real ingredients is very expensive and that’s the main health issue in America: food-like substances are unreasonably cheap (garbage food) while real ingredients are prohibitively expensive for most, to eat healthy shouldn’t be a luxury. Only complaint is I wish that they’d clarify how organic they are. Is it 100%? Lots of places use “all natural” (a meaningless phrase) with “organic” interchangeably. So are they just not certified USDA organic? Or are they 50% organic? Big difference.

The artistry and craftsmanship of the desserts from planthropie are a cut above any vegan desserts I have ever had. The light airy satisfying taste of each bite is only a testament of the sheer brilliance of Rua and her outstanding team.

The only place I have found so far that makes completely clean food that I can enjoy without feeling the least bit guilty. I just wish they expand into more food options.

Review №35

Pleasant spot to bring your girlfriends for a dessert and a glass of cold brew, with talks of life and girly things. The cakes are IG worthy and so is the atmosphere. The staff were friendly and caring. The dessert was on the pricier side but worth it after a long week. Its more of a treat yourself, you deserve it kind of thing. Enjoy when consumed slowly. Cant wait to return!

Omg the yummiest guilt free treats at Planthropie!! The kombucha is so fresh, love the nitro too. The cakes are impeccable made and so delish, yes it is pricey but everything is meticulously made, from scratch using the finest ingredients! I love picking up a box of cheese on route to a dinner party, everyone loves it!

Simply put, Planthropie is the cafe of the future. I cannot express how grateful I am to have a cafe with wholesome artisanal bites... Where the desserts and cheeses are actually GOOD FOR YOU. Thank you, thank you, thank you, for bringing us food made with super ingredients that are so tastefully put together in a space that I never want to leave!! The ingredients are nut and date based, free of artificial fillers, preservatives, refined sugar, dairy among others and worth EVERY single penny!!My recommendations: Ive been here multiple times and my go-to for cheese is the balsamic raspberry - for drink is anything on tap (theyre always changing their flavors and I enjoyed them all equally) - Im not much of a coffee drinker, but their nitro (I think its the regular house blend) is quite mild and enjoyable - for bliss ball its the pistachio flavor - and for cheesecake is their signature. I also got the hazelnut cacao spread last month and Im still enjoying it! I consider it an elevated Nutella that comes in a jar and is soo good with toast and bananas, sometimes Ill add a drop of maple syrup for added sweetness.

This place is incredible! I disagree with the other review that says Planthropie will not attract non-vegan customers. My wife and I are not vegan and this is our favorite dessert place! We appreciate high quality, organic food and this place does not disappoint! The cakes are exquisite, the cheese is delicious, and the chocolate fudge and truffles are, as my wife says, a spiritual experience. The owner is a kind and generous person who just made my wife the most beautiful birthday cake he has ever had. Thank you, Planthropie, for being an incredible addition to the community.
