Good for a Western food fix - Edit
We ordered a quesadilla, pizza, and butterscotch cream chocolate cake. The quesadilla was good value and the homemade cheese and ham inside were quite tasty.
Read moreThe pizza was topped with a flavorful beef mince. While it wasn't authentic crust, it was still tasty. It was, however, a little pricey given its small size.
The cake was pretty good. Not a large slice, but desserts in Taiwan tend to be on the small side.
Overall, pretty good 👍

Many choices - Edit
Many choices of dishes made fully vegan, the lasagna was good and the cheese used on the pizza was very good. Looks like the place will shut down as the owner will open another business.

Pros: Great cheese , Many choices
Cons: Pizza crust could be better

Friendly service and extensive pizza menu - Edit
This restaurant makes its own cheese and butter, and is working on innovating new vegan products. I ordered the Double Joy pizza (soy and cashew cheese, vegan lamb and beef on a tomato base), which was very filling. The pizzas here are not authentic so Italians will be disappointed, but they do satisfy cheese cravings. The crust is very thick, hard and dense. The owner is very friendly and offered samples of their new salty butter cookie and coffee cookie (all vegan and made with their in-house butter - delicious!). He told me they are shutting down their in house service soon to only do delivery/take-out.

Not great - Edit
review from 2018 so might not match current food/owner - sorry!
Read moreFood was absolutely uninspired and bad food, and on top of that it was expensive considering Taiwan prices.
The arrogance of the owner trying to sell some "exquisite creations" when it's poorly delivered Western basic food.
Also dishes took a long time to prepare given how simple they were and that we already had to chose from the limited options available (menu has a false wide range of repetitions of the same basic dish).
Coming from the EU it just felt very short, including the great reviewed cheeses and cakes.
Much rather enjoy some of the other fantastic chinese eateries in Taipei
Pros: got fed
Cons: overpriced, bad western food

Pizza can be better, great cakes - Edit
Pizza dough and sauce is kinda mid, aren't up to standards, crust really dry, sauce tastes like ketchup and doesn't taste homemade. Cake tasted really good, made with real strawberries. Haven't tried their burgers and pasta.

Decent Vegan Restaurant and bakery - Edit
I enjoy most of the dishes i have tried.
Read moreThe menu has grown since I was last here . now have like 30 types of pizzas, also calzones,panini,burritos,quesadillas,curries,burgers,hot dogs, pasta,lasagna,etc...The cakes are delicious,though a bit expensive like everywhere in Taipei..Their vegan cheeses are good and tasty, all made by them. New location,bigger then old place. The owner Ravi is a very friendly nice guy. One of the best vegan restaurants in Taipei. Be patient for your food, they make it fresh,so might take a bit of time. If you order before arriving it will be quicker.
Well worth the visit.

Vegan comfort food - Edit
It’s a bit hard to describe, but it’s good! It has kind of a home cooked meal feel to it, mostly vegan western style dishes. The atmosphere is a bit weird, and the food took awhile to come out, but it tasted great and it’s definitely guilty pleasure kind of food. I agree with other reviews, this is the spot for vegan junk food in Taipei. It’s the good kind of bad, haha. Staff was super friendly as well, English and Chinese speaking.

Not an everyday destination - Edit
I think the food is pretty good, but the management is really poor. Even after making a reservation and asking them to confirm several times to have our pizzas ready at our reservation time (rather than 40 minutes after we sit down), they still took at least 40 minutes after we sat down to bring them out. And they recently changed their store policy to be reservations-only on Wednesdays. Come on, get your act together! Too bad this is one of the only few places in Taipei where you can get vegan pizza. For your mental health, I wouldn’t recommend eating here often, but it’s all right occasionally to remind yourself why you shouldn’t come here often.

Vegan pizza - Edit
The pizza is tasty but it’s true that the wait time for it is long. The lasagna was good but a small portion considering the price. Also, they tend to be very heavy on vegan meat alternatives which isn’t always my thing.

Yummy vegan junk food! - Edit
Tried the "bacon" and "cheese" pizza (all vegan - everything here is vegan!) and was very happy. Took some cake home as I was pretty stuffed, and was very happy with that too. Not the healthiest food, but so, so delicious and satisfying. I wanted to try everything... they have all the comfort foods but vegan! Things like lasagna, hot dogs, pizzas, mac and cheese, etc.
Read moreThe food seemed to take a long time to prepare but when it arrived I was super happy lol. I was sad that they didn't have the chocolate black forest cake, but the one that they did have was so so good, the icing was perfect. Not too heavy... just the right amount of fluffy and sweet. I wanted to visit again but didn't have enough time during my stay in Taipei... The owner mentioned I should have visited sooner, and he's right. But the truth is, there are just too many good vegan options in Taipei...!
Will definitely visit again if I ever make it back out to Taipei.
Pros: yummy vegan comfort food, yummy vegan pizza, yummy yummy vegan, did I mention yummy? And vegan?
Cons: wait time seemed long for my order, not all items listed on menu are available

Yummy pizza but... - Edit
I love the food but I don’t eat there often. It’s quite pricy and long wait times. A group went there for an early lunch once. I preordered our pizzas (at the restaurant’s request) so we didn’t need to wait long after arrival. We still waiting nearly 1-2 hours for all of our food to arrive.
Read moreAlso- the menu is buried on their fb page and outdated. I went recently and asked for a few items that are no longer served. Their entire menu isn’t available daily and you won’t know until you get there what’s available. I’ll always recommend their pizza as there aren’t many other vegan pizzas in town.
Pros: Good cakes , Pizza
Cons: Expensive , Outdated menus online

BEST pizza in Taipei - Edit
Specially recommended "vegan bacon & cheese pizza" NT220, after eating a bite, my omnivorous friend screamed again and again, he thought the bacon is real 😂 I personally like the vegan hot dog burrito( NT200) a lot, very big and it is very tastyyyy, a meat-eater friend said: I can be a vegan if I can have this every day

Vegan Taipei - happy to find this place after a busy day in class - Edit
I didn't do much research, but took a simple look on HappyCow to find vegan/ vegetarian options near my classes. The place is quiet & empty but gets filled up as the day darkens.
Read moreAs a light eater, I ordered only 6" Margarita Pizza. The owner informed me that it will take time (which doesn't matter that day as I took the time to study & review my notes instead, so time passes by quickly).
Its piping hot! Juicy! Nice touch of tomato (which usually I dont like), and home-made vegan cheese (to me, it taste like real!).
I went home with 2 more bottles of gluten-free cookies, which I am very happy with! Pricey, but I think as a tourist here, both convenience with quality is also important (not much time in town to find other options). The cookies served me well during classes, its not oily nor too sweet, a perfect snack!
Will I go back?
I think I will.
The owner isn't the typically laugh and smiling. But for sure, he is very attentive & detailed person. I watched him explain in great details to his staff about how pizza box should be folded & why. And its also nice for him to let his staff try new food (he went around to let them taste a new product). He isn't the typical businessman, but I do admire and I think its okay to be himself.

Amazing vegan cake!!! - Edit
Extensive menu, but pizzas take 40 minutes to prepare and pasta 25 minutes, so it's probably best to call ahead (which we didn't do). Was also informed that none of the lasagnes were available on the day of our visit, which was disappointing. In the end we ordered the Indian "prawn" curry, pasta with mushroom and cashew nut, plus a slice of black forest cake for dessert. Food tasted great, but especially the cake - it was seriously the BEST cake I had ever had! It was chocolatey but not too sweet, creamy but not too heavy. Very very impressed!

Delicious and highly recommended - Edit
We had the chocolade velvet cake which was super creamy and delicious. We also had two different paninis with vegan cheese. The owner is very friendly and makes all the different vegan cheeses himself. Only using organic and fresh ingredients. Same goes for the rest of the food. And you can really taste it. Highly recommended!
