THE MOST ORIGINAL VEGAN CAKES IN BERLIN *

Despite being unsure of how to pronounce the name of this place, like the northern English pig that I am, I cannot recommend it enough.

I hesitate to call it a café because it feels like so much more. On leaflets, they boldly state that their intention is to ‘make soy a culture’ (or something like that). While that’s a cool play on words, it’s also something that seems to be absolutely inherent in everything they do here.

If you like relaxed places — this is not somewhere to sit and work on your MacBook though — this is it. If you like Japanese culture and all things matcha — this is it!

The cakes are so good I might even describe them as ‘insane’. I feel sick just using that word, and I’m disappointed with myself for doing so, but in a city like Berlin, where vegan treats are everywhere, it’s hard to find something truly unique.

Huadou (which I call ‘hoo-wah-doo’ in the voice of Al Pacino) is a truly special place that deserves to be recognised and appreciated by anyone and everyone — not just vegans!

I have only one caveat: while the cakes look small, they are unbelievably filling. And that’s a good thing.

Thank you to the employees for their friendly service...

I am not vegan so might sound judgemental for having a wide range of comparisons - this place is the total opposite of how great it visually presents on social media. The tiramisu, tofu cheesecake, matcha latte, and coffee, were horrifyingly distasteful. We couldn't even get through half of each item. Not sure why the cakes were so hard and tasteless like wet paper, and mandem couldn't even properly mix the matcha powder that I got a bunch of powder at the bottom of my glass, and last but not least, the coffee tasted unreasonably pungent, sour, and bitter. It obviously wasn't our first time drinking coffee but something was for sure wrong with the cup we got.

The minimal interiors is a good idea but there needs to be some sort of acoustic treatment because the echos on the high ceilings were a bit distracting especially given how limited the seats were already.

We are disappointed and feel scammed for coming all the way to this place and leaving irritated, and more people should know about how much of a contract this place has in real life versus its pretty package. It doesn’t deserve this high of an overall review in my opinion. I recommend zero...
