Exceeded Expectations - Edit
After looking at pictures of the amazing cakes on Facebook and Instagram for two years, I finally made from the Rocky Mountain West to Brooklyn, where I could taste them and they did not disappoint. An old friend and I went there and had Polish-style sandwiches (similar to Russian Pirozhki, but round) and one of those amazing four-layer cakes in all the pictures. We also got some cake and cupcakes for breakfast the next day (you only live once). The place itself was small, but cosy. And the service was excellent.
Read morePros: Cakes taste as good as the pictures. , Cosy seating area to enjoy the food. , Great service, lovely proprietors
Cons: Cakes cannot be shipped

A disappointment - Edit
Had high expectations due to the reviews on here but they weren’t met. We had a slice of carrot cake and cheesecake - both were quite bland unfortunately. Portions were very generous though.

WORTH IT! - Edit
The banana whip is SO delicious! The whips are raw vegan and nonsugar added. They also have raw vegan cheesecakes. Check their Instagram to see what's available that day, or you can order your own cakes-- preferably at least 2 weeks in advance

Long wait - Edit
Looks very nice BUT we arrived just after 12 on a Saturday when the cafe was empty and we were told it would be a 35 minute wait for a sandwich. Staff were quite sniffy and reluctant to serve us. Don’t go if you are in a hurry. I hope the service is usually friendlier than this. We gave up and went somewhere else. There are plenty of other places in the area with vegan options.
Read morePros: All vegan, Looks cozy
Cons: Unfriendly staff, Ling wait for food

Passionate vegan owner, Zoe. - Edit
We arrived close to closing time - only a few sweet treats left to choose from... we chose choc donut (baked) with teas to eat-in, and a lavender cookie for takeaway.
Read moreDonut was delicious; cookie was quirky in flavour and I thought amazing (partner said was a bit weird). I think the cookie contained lavender, coconut, walnut and ginger - yes a bit different - but I love being offered unique flavours and tastes. Homemade with love!
(Zoe, may I have the recipe, please!)
Zoe's is unique - a homely place to relax.
Zoe is friendly and passionate about her cooking and about veganism.
She recommended Bersi for dinner - It was an excellent choice!
Thank you, Zoe.
Pros: Homemade with love, Homely, Quirky

very good birthday cake! - Edit
i ordered a birthday cake ('Vegan chocolate vanilla raspberry crumb 5' - 50$) for pickup. communication was good throughout and the pickup was easy.
Read moremost importantly, the cake was very good! something i come across every once in a while is that vegan pasty are too sweet for some reason, but this cake had it just right.
my memories of what a non-vegan cake tastes like are too weak to be very confident, but i think you'll be safe bringing one to your vegan and non-vegan friends alike.

The best! - Edit
Vegan treats with a ton of GF options.
Read moreMy husband accidentally got me a giant GF cake for my birthday. Way too big for my small bday party. I froze what was left and ate it cold for months after and it was amazing and I’m not really into sweet things.

Phenomenal food! - Edit
I've had many incredible desserts from Happy Zoe. Nothing else comes close. Delicious, creative, top notch ingredients, just the best! Ignore any negative reviews. These are only made by ignorant people who don't understand what vegan means.

Appreciated the concept - Edit
Very cozy atmosphere (big armchairs! Cat-inspired decor!) and an extensive menu.
Read moreI think I got the wrong thing. The cheesecake was beautifully presented, but I found it a bit too creamy. Next time I’ll try something else.

The place to be - Edit
Incredible. Amazing service, amazing food, beautiful and tasty cakes, cozy atmosphere with big armchairs in which you can chill or read for a while. You mustn't miss this place.
Read moreI had a bigggg slice of chocolate and blueberry cake (8$) and even though I was a bit afraid at first of the mix chocolate/fruit I absolutely loved it. I also tried the lemon cheesecake (8$) my girlfriend ordered, which was surprisingly good as I usually don't like cheesecake. We will definitely be back to try more cakes !!
Note : to my understanding, the price by slice is the same for every cake (8$).
