The food and presentation is flawless! Especially for the prize. I love fish and we all agreed that you will not taste the difference with their vegan version. The French Toast is easily one of the best I ever had. The place is cute, attention to detail and has an artsy vibe to it. Background music is tasteful and perfect for a brunch! If you are in the city do not miss!

Baba is a small, but super-special café! The interior is artsy and colorful, with vintage decor and much to see. The owners (a couple?) are lovely and the food is absolutely delicious! You can get polish vegan dishes here, not many, but very good ones! The homemade Pieroggi were super-good as well as the vegan fish plate with homemade goods. The cakes were divine too. An awesome and very special spot, very comfy too, my favorite in Leipzig!
