We kept hearing about the new vegan options at Patisserie Valerie so decided to check it out, as you know we love a piece of cake so trying a couple of the new raw cake flavours has been top of our list for a wee while.

Unfortunately, we were left a little disappointed with what was on offer here. Yes, there were a few flavours to try but these were really the classic ‘healthy’ style vegan cake that we thought cafes had grown out of. With so many delicious vegan options in Dundee, a small piece of cake with not a lot of flavour, we paid for quite grudgingly. When you can get delicious vegan cookies, pick a mix and fudge donuts in our city this just didn’t cut it.
The staff were super friendly but did not have a good knowledge of what was vegan-friendly and what wasn’t which doesn’t leave you feeling confident. Luckily all the vegan cakes were labeled and on the same covered plate.
It’s great that there are more options in chains, but with so many independent places opening up with amazing food on offer, i'ts definitely time for chains to step up their game.
