Yorica

100% vegan ice cream and toppings, high five!

The matcha soft serve was good, but I mostly tasted coconut (assuming from the base) rather than matcha. I'd recommend they consider adding more matcha to the soft serve mix. Other than that, they have many vegan ice creams, soft serve, and toppings (including vegan gummy bears and marshmallows). Head on over and give 'em a shot!

Great option when in central!

Last visited a while back - they have a wonderful selection of flavours. Not a fan of the cones so usually have ice cream in a tub. Very good option for those with allergies etc and interior is very cool!

Pros: Good range of flavours

Cons: Not a fan of the cones!

Great ice cream and crepes

Nice to finally see an all vegan ice cream place. There were loads of toppings to chose from as well - could easily get carried away!

Vanja heaven!

Vegan ice creams have been popping up all over the place of late but this is the first London all vegan outlet. AND it reaches the dizzying heights of being heavenly for Vanja as not only are the ice cream's all vegan they are also all free of refined sugars. Vanja has been strictly sugar free for several years now. They use fructose from grapes! They also are nut free! Yorica's original goal was to offer allergy free frozen desserts and so they don't promote themselves as "vegan" because that wasn't their main goal, they do however have vegan society approval.
They make their own ice cream cones and all their ice creams are made by themselves. The flavours will change depending on success and supplies. I'd recommend the Chocolate Beetroot flavour and the Melon both and subtle and not over sweet.
The staff were friendly and helpful and the manager happy to chat about the business.
Its not cheap but the portions are generous so I will be returning.

Returned in December 2019 with my Dad, he was impressed! Late night ice cream in December!!! when its this good why not?

Pros: All vegan and sugar free, Excellent interesting flavours, Open till late and friendly staff

No crepes

Turned up on one of the busiest days of the year and they were closed. Came back a few days later on a very cold day and they were not doing anything hot, crepes included. Wasted time with them twice, won’t be doing it a third time.

Must try

So many options... it was really difficult to choose an ice cream flavour! I ended up with mint chip and cookies and cream and they were both great, but I can’t help but wonder about all of the other flavours, like “popcorn and caramel” and “banoffee”. Crepe was hot and fresh and super tasty. It’s all free from main allergens and you wouldn’t guess it.

Pros: So many options , All vegan , Good sized dessert

Yorica

The ladies that work here really seem apathetic to everything- it made for a really mundane experience. We ordered two scoops of ice cream and a crepe with raspberry topping. We had seen the photos of the creations at Yorica on Pinterest and were so excited to feast with our eyes before our stomachs, but it was a really sad reality that the ice cream and the crepe were kind of thrown into a paper french fry holder and had no pizzazz. That being said, the ice cream was good, but the expectation and hype of this place fell far far flat of reality. I would not go back.

Late Night Vegan Waffles!

Visited this gem after a trip to the theatre, they make their waffles fresh in front of you and the ice cream is the perfect accompaniment!

Pros: Fully vegan menu, Friendly staff, Options for toppings and sauces

ULTIMATE VEGAN DESSERTS!!

On a trip to London I happened to walk past Yorica, and recognised the brand from the supermarket ice cream. It was honestly one of the best vegan desserts I have ever eaten! I chose to have the ultimate dish, which considered of a crepe with chocolate sauce, served with cookies and soft serve ice cream (chocolate and caramel). If you happen to be in the area, its a must!!!

Pros: ALL VEGAN, NO ALLERGENS , Lovely atmosphere, friendly staff - 10/10

Cons: Can get busy therefore flavours run out

Amazing ice cream!

I loved the ice cream. I both loved and hated the huge selection of flavors, because deciding was terrible.
The crepe was not as good as expected but i like the decadence of waffles/crepe ice cream toppings much anyways.

Vegan treats

Offers many flavours of vegan ice cream, four soft-serve flavours, waffles and crêpes (£8.95). In summer 2019, one scoop of ice cream cost £3.95. Toppings cost extra. I enjoyed the Banoffee flavour.

Pros: all vegan

Cons: a bit pricey

Excellent!

Usually I am not a huge fan of coconut based ice creams, but Yorica exceeded my expectations. I hardly tasted any coconut which left the rest of the flavours to come to the forefront. The staff were very accomodating as well. Would definitely come back.

Pros: Very friendly staff, Interesting selections, All vegan and allergy conscious

Cons: No cash accepted

Vegan froyo!!

I was so happy when I tried their matcha vegan frozen yoghurt! I also like their range of toppings, lots of healthy ones (fruit) but you can also get cute sprinkles! Highly recommended.

Pros: All vegan, Yummy flavours of froyo + toppings, Sprinkles!

Cons: No toilets, Bit small and "chainy" feel, Could be cheaper

Pricey but good portions and delicious

We tried the soft serve combo with waffles and both the chocolate and caramel flavor were great. Together with the fresh waffles it was to die for. Quite pricey for ice cream though and they don't accept cash, only card payment.

All vegan Ice cream and Froyo!

I had the Gooey Vanilla Brownie & Banoffee ice cream [2 scoops (original) for £5.25] and the Crepe on its own with 1 sauce [£4.00]. The ice cream was delicious, not too sweet and tasted fresh. It wasn't the creamiest I've had but still good. I didn’t like the Crepe though, it was quite thick and doughy. The prices are good with decent size scoops of ice cream. I’ve had the frozen yogurt on a previous visit as well and loved it!
Although the service is a bit slow, the staff is friendly and let me sample a few of the ice creams. The shop has a quite a number of seats too, with bright and fun décor that gives the place a fun vibe. I definitely recommend Yorica for brilliant vegan frozen yogurts and tasty ice creams!

Not impressed

I was super excited when I found out about a place in London that serves soft ice cream. Great that you can mix different flavours in one portion. We tried two of their flavours but for both the texture didn‘t convince me. Not as creamy as I‘d hoped for. I don‘t know what their scoops are like, some of the dishes other guests ordered looked quite nice. A bit on the pricier side. No restrooms available, which is a shame as they do have indoor seating and you could actually spend some more time in there.

I spoiled my dinner but it was worth it

I wasn’t planning to eat ice cream in the middle of the afternoon, but I stumbled upon this place and had to try. I ordered the soft serve in vanilla and mango. The vanilla on its own was a little too powerful of a flavor (I didn’t realize that was possible for vanilla), but mixed together he two flavors blended well, creamsicle-like. The service was slow and lines were long but I’m glad I stuck around.

Pros: Entirely vegan - so many flavors! , Vegan soft serve is hard to find - this was good

Cons: Slow service, Long lines of indecisive customers (see pros abov

Everything vegan and free of all major allergens

I love this place so much. Went with my parents and we all had waffles and ice cream. My mum who is coeliac loved it too. It's hard to believe the ice cream is vegan, it just tastes like dairy ice cream. I especially love the coffee ice cream.

Pros: Gluten free, All vegan

Cons: Can be quite expensive

Fabulous delicious ice-cream

Lovely place with all-vegan ice-creams as well as toppings and waffles. It's become a regular haunt now for me. It's not super cheap, but the quality is high and sharing a large cup of ice-cream between two people gets decent value for gorgeous ice-cream. Definitely visit this place!

Pros: Utterly delicious ice-cream, All-vegan and great variety, Lovely place and nice staff

Cons: Not cheap (worth it though as a treat!!)
