Origin of Rose & Vanilla
Our story began with Daphne and Erik. Or rather, with their children. One is lactose intolerant, the other has a gluten allergy. That is why Daphne headed into the kitchen to treat them to something delicious anyway. The result? Gluten-free and lactose-free cakes that became so popular – with family, friends, and even friends of friends – that there was only one option: our own patisserie, Rose & Vanilla.
In 2011, we opened our first cake café and bakery in Utrecht. It quickly grew into a success, after which a branch in Amsterdam followed. Our large bakery in Nieuwegein now bakes the most delicious cakes every day.
No more separate plates at birthday parties, no more wrapped treats on holidays. Just enjoying ourselves together, everyone at the table. Whether you have an allergy, eat vegan, or just love really good cake – everyone is welcome at Rose & Vanilla. Because our cakes are not just allergy-friendly, they are, above all, too delicious not to share.
