Amazing!

I got a sesame torte with tofu creme and a black sesame latte, and I also tried a piece of Purp's sesame cheesecake. Both cakes were delicious!

The torte is creamy and mild. The cheesecake has a much stronger taste but it wasn't too sweet or overpowering. The latte was nutty and delicious.

And everything was so beautiful to look at!

I highly recommend this place.

Edit: We came back here again before leaving Berlin. This time I had the yuzu cheesecake and a soy matcha latte. I also tried Purp's citrus tart and his black sesame and adzuki bean latte. As expected, both were delicious. I highly recommend this place if you are ever in Berlin.

The best cake I've ever eaten from a cafe.

I got a black sesame latte and a cheesecake, I usually avoid soy milk but the latte was delicious. The cheesecake was the best desert I've ever had from any restaurant or cafe, it had a great texture and looked very fancy. It had a small wafer on top that had a really strong taste of sesame and was amazing when combined with the cake. The cafe was very peaceful and looked nice, the staff were very nice and made it feel very relaxed.

Edit: I went back a second time 😈, I got an adzuki bean latte and a citrus Tarte and they were both delicious.

Amazing looking cakes, but also amazingly delicious!

I only had a slice of cake at Huadou, but you bet it was a memorable experience! I tend to be a bit weary of places that have food that is “too pretty” as it’s no at all uncommon nowadays to come across cafes which serve instagramable cakes which don’t end up tasting like much after all. NOT the case here! The tofu and black sesame cheesecake was incredibly well executed: with a creamy filling with a slightly nutty taste, sweet enough but not too sweet, on a base which had salty hints that perfectly contrasted and made your palate crave more and more. Even the little piece of sesame nougat on top was delish. Of course the stunning presentation counts as well - and this one was a killer! A perfect example of good looks with substance. Would love to go back and try some more - please extend my congrats and appreciation to the pastry chef!💗And, hey, what an original and fun concept store!

Pros: Perfect balance of flavours , Stunning presentation

Exceptionally good café

A café with exquisite desserts. I had a really hard time to choose one, they all looked delicious and had interesting flavours. Got a yuzu cheesecake and a black sesame cake. Both were really good. The sesame cake had a really buttery frosting and almost ”nutty” flavour. Yuzu cheesecake was more delicate. Can definetely recommend both. Café itself has a very calming vibe and their matcha latte is so smooth. Come visit if you are into sweet things.

Pros: Delicious desserts, Calming ambience

Cons: Can be filled quickly

Great

Had the black sesame cheesecake and matcha latte, which tasted so good. Flavours are balanced well and not too sweet.

The cafe itself is a really nice place to sit and all the cakes look pretty.

Highly recommend

Great Concept

The whole store was pretty and i love the concept built around soy with courses and stuff, sadly we were only here to eat some cake. Those were not cheap but unique and yummy. I would love to take some tofu courses here some day.

Unique flavours

A distinguished place with friendly staff, which offers a wide variety of desserts and drinks. They try really interesting combinations of flavours. I liked their mung brownie with soy ice cream in soy sauce. Matcha itself is really delicious, you can see that the cafe cares about preparing it properly. Also everything ist gluten free.

Every at Huadou is vegan and there desserts are dessert. I keep on coming back for the sesame and Yuzu cheesecakes. So good!

Wonderful space, misos, and staff!

This is a great store. They sell homemade tofu presses and equipment, hold workshops, and have a selection of soy products like miso paste and tamari/soy sauces. The staff are lovely people and so helpful and responsive by email too. We have tried most of the misos and the one with poppyseed is especially nice. The cakes and coffee are also fantastic. We bought a tofu press from there and it is beautiful - we have made so much tofu! They also sell magnesium chloride for tofu making plus other bits you need.

Pros: Staff, Miso selection, Coffee and cake

Gorgeous beans

I enjoyed my almond apple cake and soy latte in the tranquil Asian environment. The cake was one of the best I have had - I could have eaten three of them 😅 The staff was really nice and willing to answer any question about the tofu production. If you are interested you may visit one of the workshops at Huadou (which means gorgeous beans).

All about soy

This place surprised me so much! It is so different from other places I have had been. Soy is the main star of the place. I had a soy sauce ice cream with some "fried soy milk crispies". Mindblowing! Also I tried a fermented rice tonic. I would give 5 stars, but I was disappointed on desserts, as they offered only ony brownie, tiny and not very encouraging, to be honest.
Besides they offer tofu making courses and a lot of staff. I bought there nigiri and definitively will try to make tofu on my own.

Pros: Surprising

Cons: Limited offer

The most beautiful interior

I absolutely love this place. The interior is gorgeous, everything is quite minimal and decorated in neutral colours. Calm music was playing in the background. I‘m not a coffee drinker, but I enjoyed their cappuccino as it was super mild, which was perfect for me. Maybe not the best for caffeine addicts. We tried two of their cakes and they were both delicious. Staff were super friendly and welcoming. They offer workshops as well and I‘d love to attend one of those. Only four stars though as no toilet available!

I didn't know that soy products were amazing!

First thing that calls my attention was the esthetic of the store. Designer furniture, milestone and other products to make soymilk, bambu, lot of light and a beautiful La Marzocco coffee machine.

Is that kind of places that you want to try everything, but I chose coffee with soy milk and a vegan cake with pistacho, yogurt cream and red berries. The combination of textures and flavors was unbelievable!

They work with the Berlin roaster 19Grams. They told me that the coffeebeans were specially produced to create the perfect drink with soymilk. And I believe them! The texture and flavor of soymilk were amazing, I never try one like that before.

And the cake.. I don't have words to describe it. Pistachio, berries and yogurt all in one, is an explosion of flavors!

I super recommend them, and of course I will bring all my friends😄

Pros: The high quality of products, All is delicious

Passion makes difference

Simply delicious. Both cakes and coffee are clearly made with much care and thought into the process. The soy milk makes coffee a true company to the delicate balance of cake's sour and sweet notes. I forgot to ask the beans they use for their coffee coz it's surely carefully selectioned. Coffee maniacs must visit this place, just to taste how real soy milk should taste.

Pros: Great place to chill and indulge

Hi Ludwika thank you for your review?About our coffee beans, we have made several rounds of tasting and experimenting with the Berlin roaster 19Grams, and finally we found the roast that fits perfectly with our soy milk.

Best Soy Matcha Latte in Town

Super lovely, little store which offers their own produced soy milk and a lot of vegan cake varieties. The cake (matcha cake) I had was delicious. I also had a Matcha Latte which tasted amazing😄They told me that they are also offering tofu and soy milk workshops, which sounds very interesting. And every Saturday at 14-15h they show for free how they are producing their own soy milk. The atmosphere was very peaceful. I would definitely go there again.

Pros: Everything is vegan, Delicious vegan cakes, Very friendly staff
