If like me, you are confused about what veganism is and how it is different from being vegetarian, you are in the right place. In short, a vegan diet means excluding all meat and products derived from animals such as dairy, eggs, and honey. A vegetarian diet on the other hand only excludes meat, poultry, fish, and seafood.
If you are a lover of all things related to desserts, you might feel that you wouldn’t be able to enjoy them as much because most desserts do contain dairy and eggs. However, with more and more people adopting a vegan lifestyle, the options for vegan desserts have also increased. For those of you who are looking to enjoy (or try out) vegan desserts regardless of your diet choice, here are 7 cafes that serve them in Klang Valley.
1. Kind Kones
With the philosophy that food should be made out of food and not “fake stuff” such as thickeners, preservatives, colourings, flavourings and other additives, Kind Kones serve the most delicious all-natural vegan ice-cream and desserts in Klang Valley. Whether you are living the vegan life or you have certain dietary restrictions such as lactose intolerance, you don’t have to worry that you don’t get to enjoy life’s greatest pleasure which is ice-cream. They also have gluten-free options for most of their ice-creams which is wonderful news for those with gluten intolerance. Other than ice-cream, Kind Kones also serve a selection of desserts in healthier versions such as the chocolate ganache cake, flourless sweet potato brownie and keto passionfruit cheesecake. There are available in-store as well as online. With several outlets all over Klang Valley, drop by with your friends or family for a guilt-free indulgence!

A vegan and vegetarian bakery and café that specialises in coffee, LN Fortunate Coffee is a franchise that originated from Taiwan with outlets across the Southeast Asia. The “LN” in its name stands for “Loving Nature” following its philosophy that all earthly creatures are one family. It seems that each outlet is individually operated, hence the menu might vary according to each location. Well-known for their coffee especially the hand drip coffee, they also serve vegan/vegetarian main dishes such as pasta, burgers, ramen, and rice. The bakery part of the café carries a wide selection of bread and of course, cakes and tarts. Some of the crowd favourites are Raw Lime Cheese Pie, Orange Cake and Banana Chocolate Cake.

This means deep-frying food is out and highly processed, hydrogenated oils and refined sugars are not even kept let alone used in their kitchen. Their Fit Menu consists of salads, soups and main dishes that are nicely seasoned to the point where it’s hard to believe they are healthy food.
