Quaint little coffeehouse

A lot of sweets and cakes and coffee options. But also a savoury quiche. Freshly made with the best vegan cheese ever.

Pros: Super nice chai latte, Very friendly Venezuelan owner

Impressed by their chocolate cake!

The chocolate cake is not only beautifully decorated but also a top choice to order. The cake is soft and perfectly baked (not dry, not wet), and has a distinct chocolate taste. You can taste that high quality cocoa was used! In the middle you will find some sort of a brownie layer, but a great brownie layer, the good one that sticks to your palate!
I can only recommend this chocolate cake, it's rare that I can eat such a good one!

Lovely place and birthday cakes

This is such a lovely and cozy coffee to get some delicious pastries and drinks! The pastry selection is really wide and the lady is so kind and lovely! I got a latte with oat milk and she put on the side a little piece of brownie which tasted so good! A friend got a big cinnamon rolls with an orange cream which was really good!

Little update: they also make vegan birthday cakes! I ordered one chocolate and berries cake and everyone loved it! The decoration on the outside was also so beautiful! Next time, I’d maybe suggest adding more berries inside😄

First time at plant dragon

Went here for the first time yesterday, despite living in Leuven for 3.5 months already. The chocolate chip cookie was delicious!! Had a great time, only thing is that it was very busy (on a rainy Saturday at 4-5pm)

Pros: Chocolate chip cookie!, Friendly staff

Cons: None!

Tout bon

Très bon accueil en arrivant, et on m’a bien expliqué quels étaient les desserts.
Le brownie, le muffin et le grand cookie (Que j’ai pas pris en photo) étaient vraiment excellent.

Nice selection of pastries

Cosy small cafe with a nice little terrace where you can enjoy coffee and cake. They offer a very nice selection of pastries like vegan cheesecake, brownies, cinnamon rolls, choc chip cookies,… like all the things you would like to order at a bakery.
The owner is a really nice lady who makes all the pastries herself. You can see she puts lots of love into it.
It’s just a nice place to go and relax with friends and treat yourself to something sweet :))

Pros: Cosy cafe , Really nice pastries , Friendly owner

Plant Dragon is a must to go, you feel instantly comfortable with the space received by Patricia (owner) that always gives you big smile, very thoughtfully decorated from the menu to the plants and dishes used. You can see all the kitchen where all the amazing bakings are being prepared by Patricia with love and dedication. There is always creamy brownies, cakes, cookies and cinnamon rolls -oh the cinnamon rolls are one of the bests me and my friend had in our lives! Is a must for sure!-, some days savory dishes and the best coffee and matcha you can find around the area, also options of healthy shakes and seasonal food.

Great pastries in a lovely setting

The place is right in the centre but a bit hidden not far from the university library. There are lots of plants and there even is a small terrace at the back. The owner is very friendly and the atmosphere relaxed. I enjoyed my hot chocolate (oat milk, but soy and coconut are also available) and fruit tart very much.

Pros: Nice pastries and drinks, Lovely setting, Very friendly owner

Okay but expensive

Coffe was good but the cinamon roll was okay but expensive (almost 5€)

Seeing it's a small business, making everything fresh (while you can see them decorating etc) with fresh and with high quality products, renting prices in Leuven and all that, I think their prices are quite okay. Lunches like quiche and soup are on the cheaper side there! I would really recommend you give it another try! The chocolate cake is delicious. :))

Best vegan pastries in town

First and foremost, the owner is an angel in human disguise. Secondly, her cinnamon rolls, cookies and brownies come from another world.

Finally a vegan pastry haven in Leuven.

After a long wait, finally a place to go when in need of vegan pastry. Most coffee bars would have one option or so, but it's always a bit of a hassle. Now you can just come in and order whatever you're craving at the moment.

The owner is super friendly and serves you with a smile.

Only minus might be the terrace, which is closed in between walls. Then again, you might get a free concert from the university belfry😄

Pros: All vegan pastry, what's not to love, Small and cosy, Very friendly and relaxed owner

Délicieux et chaleureux, que demander de plus ?

Malgré notre barrière de la langue qui n'est pas toujours facile à gérer, Patricia était très gentille, chaleureuse, souriante et généreuse, c'était très agréable. J'ai pris un brownies praliné à emporter et il était vraiment délicieux. Les produits sont frais et de qualités et l'accueil agréable et chaleureux. Je recommande et je reviendrai.

Pros: Endroit agréable et calme, Proche du centre, Produits frais, de qualités et délicieux

Cons: Pas de payement par carte
