No

I was pretty excited about visiting this place since its opening. Everything looked pretty promising…. However after visiting for the first (and last) time today, I have to say it was a massively underwhelming disappointment. I really hate to write scathing reviews, but £4.50 for a small, STALE “cinnamon” bun is fff ridiculous. It must have been there for few days. And then realising that this place isn’t 100% vegan anymore…. I could almost forgive that, if the cinnamon bun was up to scratch…. But, I have to say, the fella working there was very nice and polite. Save your time and money and give it a miss.

Pros: Friendly staff

Cons: Quality , Cost, Eggs and feta side by side with your 🌱 Buns… 🤢

Okay cinnamon buns

Update: used to be fully vegan, now serves meat and egg buns. I don't recommend visiting this place!

I really wanted to love these buns but they just tasted like a normal slightly hard cinnamon bun with buttercream on top. For £4.50/£5.50 it made me not enjoy it as much!
It was also really quiet in the cafe (there's a few tables), I know this store is new but maybe it needs some life into it?
I don't usually do bad reviews but I was so hyped to try these, but maybe this was a bad day😒

Now serves meat!

After starting as a vegan business, they just announced that they will start serving meat, because (and I quote): “we are catering for all customers”. This is so disappointing. Won’t buy from them anymore.

Not vegan

This place started as a vegan business but now serves meat and eggs. They blocked vegans on social media that questioned this change in practices and clearly don't value our custom. Really disappointing.

Cons: Management

Benji’s Buns

I’ve had this place on my bookmarks list for a while, and I was really excited to try the cinnamon rolls here today. I was sadly disappointed by the taste and quality of the vanilla roll. It just tasted like cinnamon bread and the frosting was very OK. I was a bit disappointed to squander my “sweet calories” here.

Nevertheless , the staff were really nice and I appreciated this being an all vegan establishment.

It’s all about the cinnamon buns! Just delicious. Moist and succulent. An all vegan bakery, what more could you want!

Best vegan cinnamon buns

These were great. While I wasn’t blown away they were the best cinnamon buns I’ve had since I’ve been vegan. I love the story about Benji who was gravely ill with digestive problems. He started baking vegan cinnamon buns and now has two shops.

Pros: Moist buns with a great cinnamon flavor , Choice of buns , Milk shakes and hot drinks

Cons: No toilets

Tolle Zimtschnecken

Die Zimtschnecken sind sehr saftig und die Creme ist sehr sehr lecker. Sehr geschmacksintensiv und süß.

Stunning buns

Found on social media and really glad they lived up to my expectations. Went towards the end of the day and the buns were still moist and fluffy. We got Biscoff and vanilla frosting.

Pros: Very sweet (pro for me), All vegan , Yellow decor

Vegan cinnamon buns

Delicious cinnamon buns. Walked past the bakery by chance and saw they're vegan. Happy we tried them!
