Cookies and Scream - Drayton Park

I've been going to Camden Cookies and Scream for years, but I think this branch is even better. There's seating so you can now eat-in, with real plates, real cutlery etc. and the staff have always been very friendly (can be a bit hit-and-miss in Camden). The selection of baked goods is mixed as they don't always bake more of the most popular items, so it's definitely better to go earlier - I have been known to do a 4 mile walk for a pie that has disappeared in the meantime. My main motivations for going are the apple crumb cake, the banana chocolate chip bread, the ginger cookies and their fruit pies, which are amazing. We always get a milkshake too which is basically a tub of Swedish Glace, blended with whatever flavour you choose, so it's amazingly thick and sugary and awesome. This branch also accepts cards, so no worries about not having any cash.

Walking along the Holloway Road after an emphatic Arsenal victory against Stoke City what could be more perfect than to come across a vegan cookie place by chance? This is exactly what happened. Absolutely gorgeous inside. Totally cool as a cucumber. We took a peanut butter and chocolate cookie to go. Let me tell you now it was absolutely sensational. Welcome to the 5 star world of Happy Cow vegan living.

Cookies and Scream at Camden Lock is well known but the great news is they have opened a cafe in Holloway Road, Islington. While I was there I had a cookie and coffee and bought a plum cake to take away. This was truly delicious.

The cafe is small but there is seating at tables and at the bar, Service was very friendly. They have soya milk and I hope they offer other non-cow milks, such as coconut and oat milk, in the future. Some savoury dishes would also be welcome.

At the moment the cafe is open from 10.30am to 7pm but they are still considering what opening times are best.
