Bistro mit eher deftigeren speisen - Edit
Das Café Rost ist ein eher simpleres und alternatives Bistro in Mannheim. Zum aktuellen stand vegan und Kuhmilchnutzung kann ich nichts sagen.
Read moreIch aß einen Dönerteller, mit leckeren seitan. Die streifen waren wie von einem Spieß tranchiert, die Würzung hätte etwas stärker sein können, der Geschmack wurde über das Fett transportiert. Die pommes waren mittelmäßig, die Soße hervorragend. Die recht großen und bitteren radicchioblätter hätte es nicht bedurft. Insgesamt ein guter, aber nicht der beste Dönerteller.

I have to give 5 stars… - Edit
… even if they are not 100% vegan (one dish with pecorino cheese and cows milk on request).
Read moreI really like the selection of food they offer - a nice balance between healthy, fresh dishes like colorful salads and hearty comfort foods like Schnitzel or Döner. But everything is made fresh in house.
I especially was impressed of their ice cream 🍨
Also housemade, they use soaked cashews as base.
The flavor is rich and creamy, not a big fan of simple vanilla ice cream, but theirs definitely hits the spot!
You can even have a childhood momemt here and order a big portion of spaghetti-ice cream (not sure if this is a thing outside Germany, but that was basically a classic, or must to get as a kid in an ice cream parlor!). Not easy to get that in a vegan version!
The staff was very friendly, I also appreciated the ambience and the 90s HipHop-music in the background!

Absoluter Reinfall - Edit
Mir hat es nicht geschmeckt. Geschmäcker sind natürlich verschieden. Allerdings waren meine Spätzle kalt. Der Temperaturunterschied innerhalb der Speise lässt vermuten, dass das Essen lieblos und unprofessionell in der Mikrowelle erwärmt wurde. Zudem kam die Vorspeise zeitgleich mit dem Hauptgericht. Das ist aus meiner Sicht auch ein klarer fachlicher Fehler.
Read moreZwei Sterne gibt es nur, weil es sich um einen vegetarischen Laden mit vielen veganen Optionen handelt.
Andere Leute haben sicherlich besser Erfahrung mit dem Laden gemacht. Ich kann natürlich nur mein Erlebnis bewerten und das war nunmal durchweg schlecht.

Als ich dort war war nicht alles vegan!
Read moreAuf der Karte steht zwar "alles vegan" drauf es sind aber trotzdem ein paar nicht vegane Sachen gelistet. Das war zwar gekennzeichnet aber trotzdem finde ich den Wiederspruch nicht gut.

Need to go there more often... - Edit
Café Rost is a great place: it has a relaxed atmosphere, it's affordable, and it's mostly vegan. They have savoury food as well as cake, there's no surcharge for soy milk, and - which is great - they even have vegan breakfast options now! I definitely need to go there more often. :)
