• Cake!

I had a blueberry spongecake here that was to die for. It's one of my top cake memories, including pre-vegan days. This is cooking that'll make veganism mainstream. It was light, indulgent, great balance of fruit with cream and cake and, unlike most vegan cakes which seem to use american recipes, not too sweet! It's the closest i've got to southern italian cake since i moved away 16 years ago. It's not a straightforward to find venue, you won't stumble upon it, but easy enough if you've looked on the map. I went 2 weeks after it opened and initially it looked low on stock and disappointing, but slowly realised there's a lot here, just in small quantities. So i stayed about 15 mins. There's a lot of processed products that I haven't seen elsewhere, like cheeses and 'meats', lots of unusual chocolate bars, but the best is their own cakes, filled bagels and sandwiches. Great for takeaway lunch or train journey. I really hope the blueberry sponge cake is a permanent feature!
