- Always a nice place to stop by
Vx is a cool place that's conveniently not very far from St Pancras/quite easy to get to, so I come here quite often when I'm coming into and out of London. I haven't paid much attention to the clothing and whatnot they do here, though I will note that also exists though not covered in this review. I want to firstly praise the more unusual imports they carry: just today I got some really wonderful whipped cream from them, though they also carry an exceptional amount of different cheeses (Very important and often hard to find as a vegan!!). There's also stuff like the Vegan Egg, which whilst I'm yet to try, is a good representation of how vast and interesting their stock is. They do their own line of miniature ice cream pots, which from what I gather are mostly coconut-based and whilst they are a little unusual, they're very fruity (rather than sickeningly sweet like some can be) and generally a nice treat, if not specifically my favourite sort of vegan ice cream. There's a good selection of drinks too, in my opinion. The staff aren't always the most talkative, but they've still provided fair and good service whenever I've went. Frankly, the real reason I wrote this review is to promote the hot food they do here: if you're big on junk food, somewhere like Vx is a great stop to make. Specifically, I think you should try the Philly Burger if you go here, with its spice and its gherkins and its incredibly generous amount of cheese. I have done some incredibly questionable things in order to fit a visit to Vx and a Philly Burger into my schedule in the past. The sandwiches they do here are okay (bread can be a bit chewy but still a positive experience), the eclairs are great and calzones and quesadillas decent, but most of all, I place a strong recommendation on the Philly Burger, the light of my life.
