Vegan in Vienna: IchBinSüß

Two different types of cookies in a takeaway box

It’s a four and a half hour train journey from Vienna back to Prague, so we always make sure we are well stocked with snacks for the journey. On our last trip to Vienna, we’d hoped to pick up cookies from this spot close to the main station, and were devastated to learn they were closed on Sundays. So on our most recent trip, we made sure to stock up on Saturday, and it was a smart move. They are really good cookies!

It’s not all vegan but there five clearly labelled vegan options when we stopped by. There were tables for eating in, but we got a box to go. We tried three kinds.

A chocolate chip cookie

The chocolate chip cookies were tasty, really sweet and chocolatey. Unfortunately they were soft all the way through, lacking a crust that would give it a nice bit of texture. This may be because we didn’t eat them till the next day.

A cookie topped with chocolate spread and pistachios

The pistachio and orange was a great combination. There was some lovely orange zest running through the biscuit, and it was topped with a small amount of delicious chocolate cream, and good pistachio chunks. The texture of this one was much better.

The highlight was the brownie almond. It was delicious! It was really thick, but a nice even bake. It was crisp outside and soft inside, with good chocolate chunks. This is one of the all-time great cookies.

The other vegan options when we visited included brownie raspberry (I think that would be delicious, with the fruit to cut through the richness) and lotus apple cinnamon.

The cookies aren’t cheap, but they are absolutely massive and worth the money for me.
