I freaking loved this place!! - Edit
One of the number 1 things I miss being plant based is the pastries so was so happy when I found this spot! Beautifully decorated and really lovely service. My almond crossaint was incredible. The only thing I would say is the toilets could be cleaner but everything else makes up for that.

Amazing food & vibe - Edit
Absolutely loved this place: both the food and the vibe were amazing. From the Ukrainian cuisine to the pancakes and the fine cream-filled pastries, or the interior that looks like a blend of unicorns, punk and Victorian extravaganza. Such a vibe! We'll be back for more

Nice cafe but misleading - Edit
Lovely cafe, I am happy it's all vegan. But they had a poster saying £1 coffee for NHS workers, I go in, and the lady said only on Tuesdays. Felt like a misleading poster to get people in. Also was very pricey for the portion sizes but some good desserts.

Great all-vegan place - Edit
Wonderful all-vegan, Ukranian place. Seems hipster, which is unfortunately normal for these places. The food was great but pricy, which is probably normal for central London. Waited over 30 minutes for the food.

Quirky and pink - Edit
A fun little pink cafe. Honestly, a strange little place, but amazed by the cake and pastry selection up front!
Read moreWe tried the strawberry rainbow pancakes, each with a different flavour and made an impressive stack! They were exciting and unique - the favourite was chocolate, though - and the accompanying strawberry and rhubarb compote was delicious! We had the frozen acai bowl, which tasted nice and was filled with nuts, fruit and granola. We also tried the varenyky with chocolate and strawberries, which was a special and new experience.
Drinks-wise, they had some exciting options, and we tried Bumble Coffee (a new one for us, combining coffee and orange juice, and surprisingly delicious), iced chai, and a pink iced chai, all of which were very nice and refreshing.
Pros: Brilliant cakes and pastries, Fun and exciting options

Vegan Fried Eggs! - Edit
I was so curious about their vegan fried eggs but they were delicious. We had full English breakfast and shared an almond and pistachio pastry. Breakfast is served till 2 which is nice. Other hour meals look very interesting and worth a return visit. Good was also not greasy or oily. Staff are wonderful. Everything is vegan. They are pet friendly and proudly support the LGBTQ I community. The bathroom and additional seating is upstairs.

Lovely place - Edit
Friendly staff, friendly vibe, tea came in lovely mugs. The dessert wasn’t to my personal taste but I’m sure others would have liked it and a lot of effort had clearly gone to the appearance. I’ll just choose different next time!

Loved the Kyiv cake! - Edit
I really enjoyed this place. Had a hard time choosing my sweet as all the options looked equally delicious. My Kyiv cake was simply splendid, very sweet but very good. Liked the option to order kvas. The eclair was a bit harder on the teeth than expected, but it was still really great.
Read moresidenote: The map on the wall really impressed me, it was full of details and so thoughtfully made with differentiating land and water borders, wow!

amazing eclairs! - Edit

Birthday deliciousness - Edit
I went to Cream Dream on my birthday recently with my son.
Read moreI had the Kysuberry Marzipan Tart, my son had the Gala Mango & Passion Fruit Eclair. We also shared the Tasiia Vanilla Eclair later. The matcha was lovely too and my son had some juice which he enjoyed.
The desserts were very good, delicious flavours and the pastry on my tart was melt in the mouth. I don't eat cream cakes very often as finding gluten free and vegan ones are a challenge. Would definitely go back.
Pros: Desserts, Matcha

Superb Ukrainian Experience - Edit
There is obviously a lot that could be said given what is still happening in other parts of the world - all the more reason to visit this colourful café! Their appreciation and homage to their homeland is incredible, and it gives the café such a genuine and satiating aesthetic. You definitely won't forget this place is of Ukrainian origin!
Read moreThe menu is expansive, offering a range of classics as well as plenty of dishes of Ukrainian heritage. So many of the dishes looked excellent it was actually a difficult choice just to pick a couple. Staff were friendly and service was good. There's a number of gluten-free options across the menu and they also have a large array of baked goods on top of the main menu.
Overall the food was good - the English big breakfast was a splash underwhelming, but on the whole the food and coffee were enjoyable! It is also a little pricey, but portions were generous.
For the food and more, we highly recommend a visit here!

Delicious!!! - Edit
The food at Cream Dream still has my taste buds tingling. I was not familiar with Ukrainian cuisine before visiting this amazing spot, and I left with an appreciation for Varenyky (comforting dumpling dish), Cossack kulesh (for those that love savory and amazingly realistic bacon), and Ukrainian kombucha. A must-visit near the hub of iconic London sight-seeing.

Énorme déception - Edit
Après les avis sur Google, je y suis allée avec un espoir de goûter un délice pâtisserie, et en arrivant dans le lieu, l’ambiance me paraissait peu étrange mais je suis venue pour goûter le pâtisserie.
Read moreAvec un ami, on a décidé de prendre un pâtisserie car cela coûte quand même cher pour un.
Pour ce prix, on espérait vraiment que c’est très bon, mais en goûtant, on a réalisé que ce n’est pas vraiment cela qu’on a espéré trouver. Quel déception et un perte d’argent pour cela, alors il y a des autres plus mieux que cela.
Mais c’est juste un gâteau, donc rien à dire.
Cons: Le prix , Le goût, L’ambiance
