Café Bubu

I went to Cafe Bubu because it's one of few places in east of Leipzig, where gives vegan breakfast. I found only one plate for vegans which was ridiculous. When I order, I've waited for 50 minutes to receive the most uncreative vegan dish I've ever had. Low quality, not tasty components, which made me think "they've just tried to pretend they have something for vegans, which in reality it seems they have no idea and no intention to care about people with vegan diet". Nothing was freshly cooked or put any effort into, so I have no idea why a that vegan plate should made 50 minutes to be prepared and why should costed more than 7 euros! It even didn't give me any satisfaction feeling and felt hungry after.
I was intended to try cakes after my breakfast, but after having it, I haven't even dared to try the cakes, for two reason; price and appearance. I've had very nice vegan cakes in other cafe's which looked more professional and tastier for similar price.
Moreover, I didn't understand why they don't use barista version vegan milk for the coffee ( like Oatly or Alpiro) which costs almost double the price of bio cow milk, and instead use the cheapest version of vegan milk (that cost less than a euro) yet charged 0,40 euros more for that! How can be called to charge a person for the whole package of milk?!

I would describe my experience as shocking! I have no idea why this cafe has gotten so many 5 start reviews everywhere? Have people lost their taste buds or no idea on how something should be prices and taste?!

* I shared the plate with my vegetarian friend. This is the plate for 2!

Wonderful hospitality. The breakfast plate was healthy and tasty. And the cheesecake was lovely.

It's a modern café with a very cosy, retro atmosphere. The plain concrete and pipes showing in the ceiling give it a slightly industrial touch, while everything else is a purposeful mixture of non-matching elements in retro style, the furniture, decorations, even the cups and plates. Together it conjures a cosy, yet adventurous feel. I very much like the spot right by the door, where you sit in the ledge of a rather large shopping window, looking out on the Täubchenweg street. They have a selection of various cakes and biscuits, and the coffee and other hot drinks are very good. They also serve milk alternatives. I would recommend going there for a hot beverage on an afternoon in the cold season, but I will definitely check it out again in summer, to sit in the back yard.

What an absolute gem of a find this place is. Fantastic coffee and plenty of vegan cake options which change regularly. The staff are superb and always make you feel incredibly welcome. A warm, inviting environment where you can spend hours curled up reading a book, enjoying the beautiful décor. They also have live music and readings which I will certainly have to check out some time! Can't recommend this cafe enough, thanks to the team for ensuring a fantastic experience always! :)

I was super exited to visit the place because of the numerous amount of high ratings. Okay so the setup is really amazing. Each table has its own lil ceiling hung lamp and it feels like a public living room. The setting is for everyone from one person to a group. Now coming to the food. To my astonishment I was served stale food. I ordered the day dish with spinach and bludger but it definitely smelt bad from the first bite itself. Unfortunately the chef did not acknowledge it and said "it is supposed to taste like that". I'm sorry but I have the olfactory sense to judge stale food. So I had to pay the entire food without consideration. I tried chai latte which was pretty good and also the server was nice. In conclusion go there for a drink or two and probably avoid ordering food especially before closing time. Save yourself the big money for tiny portions and get a kebap down the road. Sad but I had expected so much from this place. Good luck

This café has a cozy garden at the back. The decor is so creative it looks like a place where fairies would hide.
