7.6
A vegan sweets shop that’s built for the quick, high-reward stop—grab a small box, sample a few styles, and move on. It shines when you pick contrasting textures (one chewy, one crisp, one chocolate-forward) instead of going all-in on a single category.
Must-Try Dishes:
Vegan macarons, Assorted chocolates, Caramel candy bar

Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Yes, as a short add-on stop—great for grabbing sweets and walking, but not meant for lingering.
Can I get a table without a reservation? There’s no reservation system and little to no seating—this is counter service and takeaway-focused.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes—easy stop for kids who love sweets, though it’s quick-hit rather than a sit-down experience.
Best For
Better for: Quick vegan dessert boxes, chocolate-forward treats, and gifting with visual appeal.
Skip if: You want plated desserts, coffee service, or a place to sit and linger—look for a café-style spot instead.
