Ube Crepe Cake – A Must-Try Vegan Treat in Brooklyn! 💜Growing up just 40 minutes from Tokyo, Japan, where purple sweet potatoes were a staple, I love seeing them used so creatively here. Its natural sweetness, slight nuttiness, and hint of vanilla make every bite pure delight! While ube (Filipino purple yam) and Japanese purple sweet potatoes (Beni Imo or Murasaki Imo) are different botanically, they are indeed very similar in color and can sometimes be confused. Both have that gorgeous purple hue, a naturally sweet taste, and are used in many traditional and modern recipes.Not only is this cake with Ube visually stunning, but it’s also packed with antioxidants—and as a professional culinary nutritionist (@CookingMyPoundsOff on Instagram), I know what makes a dessert both wholesome and delicious. This one hits the mark, offering a healthier indulgence without sacrificing flavor.I also tried their Matcha Crepe Cake, Peanut, and Salted Caramel desserts—all were well-balanced, rich, and satisfying. Simply Sweet truly delivers on quality and taste!This 100% plant-based dessert is perfect for vegans and non-vegans alike. The delicate, thin crepe layers create a light yet indulgent texture, and ube fans will love that it’s not overly sweet, letting its natural nuttiness shine.🔥 Would I Recommend It?Absolutely! If you're in Brooklyn and looking for a unique, plant-based dessert, Simply Sweet is worth the visit!The shop itself is cozy, inviting, and easy to find, making it a great stop for a treat. - Elena M

Simply Sweet Introduce

Simply Sweet, situated on Avenue U in Brooklyn, is a revolutionary concept in the New York dessert scene. It is far more than a traditional bakery; it is a dedicated health food store, cake shop, and coffee shop that has carved out a unique and essential niche by being 100% plant-based, gluten-free, and refined sugar-free. This commitment to wholesome, organic, and raw ingredients means New Yorkers, particularly those with severe dietary restrictions such as celiac disease or those following a vegan diet, can finally "indulge a guilty pleasure without the guilt." The establishment is proudly identified as women-owned, adding a layer of community dedication to its business model.

The core philosophy of Simply Sweet revolves around creating desserts that are not only permissible for those with restrictions but are genuinely delicious for everyone—vegans and non-vegans alike. The menu is a testament to this, featuring decadent cakes, wholesome superfood smoothies, and nourishing acai bowls. Patrons consistently praise the variety and quality, noting that the products are made with "wholesome organic ingredients" and are "VERY filling/packed w ingredients." For customers who have struggled to find high-quality, safe options, especially for conditions like celiac, Simply Sweet is described as a "blessing," restoring favorites like the popular "Pie in the Sky" (which reminds one customer of a peanut butter cheesecake).

With offerings like the visually stunning and nutrient-packed Ube Crepe Cake, the bakery proves that healthier indulgence does not require sacrificing flavor or elegance. The cozy and inviting shop makes for a great stop for a quick, guilt-free treat or an intentional visit to stock up on desserts that are safe for a special diet or a group gathering. It is, unequivocally, a must-visit destination for the health-conscious and dessert-loving community in New York.
