    I have followed Hollycake House on Facebook for some time now, enjoying all those photos of their delectable dishes and treats. We are Buffalonians, and I don't make it to Rochester too often, so hadn't actually been in. But we were recently in Penfield on Mother's Day for our daughter's basketball tournament, and stumbled on the realization that Hollycake House was just a mile and a half from the venue. So it was finally my time to see all of those pictures of Hollycake House food come to life! :-D Hollycake House is in a sort of brick office complex building and is easy to miss, as the building it is in is a fairly nondescript brick box. Hollycake House has a couple tables out front of their entrance that you can watch for, at lest during warmer weather. There is parking along the side of the building where Hollycake is located, as well as a large lot out back. Inside, ordering is counter ordering. The menu is on the wall, but paper menus are available to step away from the line and study all of the options. There are about a half-dozen tables to dine in, which are located in the common area of the office complex just outside the inner door of Hollycake House. The menu is 100% vegan. Much of the menu is made in-house, like the seitan and sausage vegan meats, as well as the vegan egg patties. There is both savory foods, like breakfast and lunch sandwiches, paninis, and soups, as well as a variety of desserts like danish, cookies, and of course cakes. All of the baked goods are homemade. The cafe menu also includes a variety of hot and cold coffee drinks, smoothies, and spritzers. For food, our son ordered the Avocado Toast, our daughter ordered The Venetian sandwich, I ordered The San Crancisco sandwich, and my husband had the The Rose Chick'n Salad Sandwich. We were ALL smiles ALL around the table. The sandwiches were all a good size, fresh, and entirely tasty. My sandwich had a sausage and egg patty, both made in-house, and both excellent quality. Sometimes vegan sausage can be rubbery, and eggs spongy, but not here! The sausage patty was meaty and chewy in a way entirely satisfying, and the eggs were fluffy and delicious as well. Of course we had to try some baked goods too, I mean, this is HollyCAKES! :-D I had a lilac earl grey flavored cupcake that was divine. The subtle lilac and tea flavors were delightful in the airy cake and smooth frosting. I shared a funfetti cake cup with my son, which was chunks of funfetti cake, frosting, and sprinkles all combined in a cup. That was yum too, very moist but still springy cake with a solid sweetness that was just right. My daughter enjoyed her chocolate cupcake and cookies too. I'm so happy that happenstance had us within a couple miles away from Hollycake House on Mother's Day! And now that I know how delicious those social media photos are in real life, it is well worth the drive to visit Hollycake House again! On top of the sensational food, the super-sweet staff was so welcoming and patient, the restaurant was clean and bright, and the prices were very reasonable for the top-quality vegan food served here. But this place isn't just for vegans; anyone who likes delicious well-made sandwiches and/or sweet treats will enjoy Hollycake House! :-D

    What a really great place with a lot of options. Fresh made sandwiches and soups and lattes and desserts. Great gluten free options here. The brownies and gluten free cupcakes were a favorite!

    I tried a new cafe and bakery today called Hollycake House. First, the owners and staff are amazing and so helpful it reminded me of the tv show Cheers where "everyone knows your name!" But I would like to talk about the flavorful vegan food I just devoured while sitting on the beach. Hollycake House's sandwiches, drinks, and baked goods are perfect for beach picnics :) The Venetian breakfast sandwich married so many great flavors together between the egg, spinach, tomato, violife cheese, BeLeaf bacon, pesto (tastes out of this world in comparison to other pesto's I've had), and the everything bagel. The lunch menu also offered up some palate teasing options such as the Portobello Mushroom Burger, it is now my favorite! Whatever marinade or spices they used on the portobello danced on my tongue similar to the tango. I also tried the Purple Haze drink which had butterfly pea powder, lemon juice, and club soda over ice. It was tart and refeshing and perfect for a muggy summer day when you can't seem to cool yourself off. The color is also bright and makes me smile. If you have a chance please go to Hollycake House and give it a try. Take it to the beach which is 18 mins away and enjoy good food, nature, and people

    Fantastic indoor seating!
    Jessica R.

    One of the best restaurants in ER and the best vegan spot on the East Side for sure!!! Indoor seating in the techniplex mall, convenient location feels residential. East side needed a place like this so bad, you will be amazed at how good the food is!! Nice staff too!

    Madrid breakfast sandwich and hollycake iced latte
    Allison H.

    I'm not vegan, but wholeheartedly enjoyed this food! I enjoyed the Madrid breakfast sandwich with a romesco sauce and egg and bacon substitute. Flavor was great and texture was awesome! The ordering is done on an iPad, was very easy to navigate. They bakery had a beautiful display of cupcakes and other baked goods which looked so tasty. Staff was very prompt and hand delivered our order with a smile. Limited seating, to-go is probably the best. I gave 4 stars only because of this and the ordering was a bit impersonal.

    Hollycake house is now one of my favorite vegan places (and we have a lot in the Rochester area). So far I have only tried breakfast but the lunch menu looks yummy too! My favorite sandwich is the Madrid which comes with a romesco sauce and vegan bacon making it a filling sandwich. In addition to having awesome savory food they also make the best cupcakes! Lemon raspberry was my favorite. I will definitely be back to try more! Their location has good parking and it's also nice they offer delivery through Grubhub.

    Absolutely delicious! Highly recommend going in and supporting this new vegan restaurant! They're deserts such as the slutty brownie!

    Amazing chocolate peanut butter cake

    I happened upon this place by a recommendation from a friend and let me tell you the place is clean the people that work there are so friendly and the food is out of this world, especially the desserts. Great little eatery. I will probably end up there every week.

    High quality food but quite pricey. Our breakfast with 2 sandwiches and a smoothie came to $36!

Their shop atmosphere is perfect for getting coffee/tea with friends or managing business affairs. I love that the menu changes with the season. You can really see the creativity and ingenuity with the ingredients used, I can't believe that they not only accommodate so many dietary restrictions but they all taste SO GOOD and it is all ethically sourced! Kayla the proprietor is great to work with! For our wedding we wanted just a sampling of what they do best and boy did she deliver! The only reason we had anything left of our desserts was because someone made a goodie box for us which we took on our honeymoon! I feel our pictures from our cake cutting though say all that needs to be said! We also got a tray of meatballs for our rehearsal dinner (it's apparently a family recipe!) and they were GONE even though we had gotten a massive tray! From there I've also used them for custom cakes for special occasions and have found a great collaborator who truly turns your vision into reality. I highly recommend Alter Ego Eatery, not only for their adorable shop (attached to the quicklies gas mart in Fairport) but also for their catering!!

    Yes, just yes! 5 stars all around : from selection, to staff, to taste! I got a campfire brownie, a…read morecinnamon roll, and a donut. Plenty of vegan options AND allergens are clearly marked. My non GF husband said the cinnamon bun was fabulous as well. Cannot wait to come back and try the rest of the offerings.

Both flavors were incredible: super creamy and rich. My friend got chocolate almond fudge, and that was just as good. We also grabbed some baked treats to go (brownie, whoopie pie, and muffins), and everything tasted amazing. Other than sweet treats, they also have coffees and teas on their menu, and a bunch of different dairy products. It feels cozy, local, and authentic - like everything is fresh or straight from the farm. It's actually part of a long-standing local farm operation, which makes the experience feel even more genuine. I also loved that they support other local businesses and sell products from them, it adds to that community feel. Overall, this place is more than just an ice cream stop, it's a whole experience. Definitely coming back.
