Universe.Cafe is a European brand that currently (at the time of this review) has two locations in Taipei that serve raw vegan cake and healthy drinks (as well as some other items). Their cake is top-shelf and 100% vegan: real healthy food is used, no milk, no sugar, no eggs, no starch, gluten-free, GMO-free, and not baked. Their healthy vegan vegetable and juice drinks contain no sugar, no water, no artificial additives, enzymes and other natural nutrients, and retain the integrity of high fiber and vitamins.
They offer free samples for both their cake and drinks. They have a pretty big variation of cake and drink options. Being that the cakes are raw, they're best consumed quickly after their purchase or brought back to an apartment with a proper freezer to be kept and eaten whenever, so that either way they can be eaten in their most delicious state. The fruit raw cake variations particularly start to sag and slowly melt pretty quickly. Other choices like Chocolate Raspberry, one of my favorites, has enough chocolate in it to keep it solid enough for a good period of time (maybe an hour or two). Many locals will probably not mind soggy cake, but Westerners usually prefer more solid cake, so keep the above advice in mind.
Being vegetarian (or vegan) is becoming more popular in Taipei for health reasons instead of religious reasons. Due to Taoism and Buddhism, the most popular religions in Taiwan, vegetarian restaurants were never hard to find in Taiwan, but most of them weren't healthy. This trend is slowly changing; high-quality vegan and vegetarian restaurants are steadily opening up around Taipei. A notable mention of one of these restaurants would be the super healthy and delicious NakedFood.
