Beautiful space - Edit
What a beautiful space. The best vegan sausage roll I've ever had. Cinnamon buns also a must try.

Underwhelmed - Edit
It was great to see a vegan bakery so busy - it's clear that many people enjoy it and don't care whether or not it's vegan.
Read moreHowever, my experience was somewhat underwhelming. I stood at the counter being ignored while 2 other other people who came along after me were served - at that point I spoke up and was offered a reluctant apology.
In my opinion, the buns were undercooked and not worth the hype.
While it's clear I'm in the minority, I won't be rushing back here any time soon.

Thanks for sharing this. This actually happened to me too which is why I didn’t give them 5 stars. I didn’t mention this in my review but thought it would help to back you up here. They served 3 other people who came after me and when they took my order it seemed they couldn’t be bothered. 😕 Sorry this happened to you too.

Beaten by a Whisker - Edit
Nice vegan natas, I found these better than other offerings around London. Get here early if you want to try several things, because they were nearly cleared out by the time I arrived near lunch time on a Sunday.

Completely obsessed - Edit
The cinnamon buns, babka and peanut coffee are honestly the best I’ve ever tasted. Also tried the white miso cauliflower focaccia and would definitely get again.

Amazing vegan bakery - Edit
The dark chocolate and hazelnut cookies were perfect - crispy edges, soft center. Sausage rolls are fantastic. Nice staff, cozy environment, and great ethos.

Perfection - Edit
I almost hesitate to recommend this place it’s so amazing - I want to keep its extraordinary delights to myself but the constant steam of customers suggests I’m too late. Honestly they make the best baked goods I’ve had in forever. The range is limited but the what they do have is perfection. At least the three items I sampled were. The space is also as cool as can be, with an understated but beautiful natural and artisanal decor with limited seating outside, downstairs and upstairs. A fabulous find.

Love the fabulous variety of cakes and savories - Edit
My step son has moved nearby and raves about this bakery, even though he's not even veggie. That's what is so brilliant - many customers probably don't even notice their stuff is so good.

They also did vegan ice cream last summer which was AMAZING 😍

It would be great if the bakery symbol here could be green to make it clear it’s a full vegan bakery.

Top vegan bakery - Edit
This place had been recommended by a non vegan work colleague and it really didn't disappoint. Queuing out the door is always a good sign!Sausage roll was delicious, tart was even nicer and the brownie was superb. Dog friendly too. Only area they could improve on is having a greater gluten free offerering.

Amazing vegan baked treats - Edit
I travelled an hour across London just to visit this place and it was without a doubt worth it!
Read moreThe place itself is beautifully done out with its minimalist decor and open kitchen and is obviously very popular as it had a queue out the door when I visited
The food itself is out of this world. I hate it when people say ‘I can’t believe this is vegan’ as if to say vegan food can’t taste good but honestly with every bite this was what I was thinking. I had a tomato & cheese focaccia to eat in and a pistachio bun and brownie to take away. Everything was absolutely delicious and I think the brownie may be one of the best I have ever had!
I definitely can’t wait to return!
Pros: Amazing food, Beautiful cafe, Lots of options

Incredibly yummy. - Edit
By the time it occurred to me to write a review the coffee and cake was all long vanished in my mouth - it was so good!
Read moreWe had very nice coffees, a very rich chocolate cake, an equally awesome apricot rasberry frangipany cake and a hazelnut chocolate cookie. Also got some bread which smells delicious.The café doesn't advertise that it is vegan so might attract more people to the vegan cuisine? The interiour, plates etc are all very beautiful. Highly recommend.
Pros: Beautiful café, Food is spectacular, Friendly staff
Cons: none

Lovely vegan bakery, with cakes and coffee - Edit
This lovely small bakery is a great find. When we visited they had sourdough loaves and focaccia, freshly baked in the premises; cakes such as cinnamon buns, baked cheesecake, and cookies; a choice of imaginative focaccia sandwiches; and a range teas and coffees. These can be taken away, or enjoyed at tables downstairs and on the mezzanine - it's a lovely light well-designed space, with attractive and thoughtful touches. The staff are friendly and helpful. Much recommended, to pop in or to stay a while.
Read morePros: Lovely fresh bread and cakes, Pleasant space to enjoy food and drinks, Friendly and helpful staff
