Tasty Pastries, Dreadful Experience - Edit
Very tasty vegan pastries. Coffee is poor. Service was abysmal. No warmth, bordering on hostile. I rarely write negative reviews but I feel like this is public service.

Un Sogno - Edit
Fantastica pasticceria 100% vegana con ampissima scelta sia salata che dolce. Vorrei trasferirti a londra solo per fare colazione qui ogni giorno. Cinnamon roll meraviglioso, croissant alle mandorle buonissimo ed enorme. Delusione totale invece il roll al pistacchio tanto decantato, impasto duro e ripieno che sembrava formaggio, stucchevole e decisamente bocciato. Prezzi molto alti!

Loads of great options 🥐 - Edit
What a cute little cafe! I really enjoyed the raspberry croll and the savoury rainbow pastry. They both had delicious filling and the pastry was perfect. The coffee was good too. I wasn’t crazy about the tiramisu cube, it looked beautiful, but the edges were quite dry. All the food is very clearly labelled vegan or vegetarian. I’ll definitely be back to try some more things!

Amazing bakery - Edit
I’ve wanted to visit this bakery for ages and it didn’t disappoint. It’s only a 15 min walk from the Cutty Sark so worth the visit if you’re in the area. The croissants are really amazing with such amazing flavours you rarely find for vegans. The service from Anastasia was 10/10. Will definitely be back again.

Worth the 50 mile cycle - Edit
Vegan cubed, tiramisu croissant with coffee. Cycled 50 miles to try this place, and safe to say this fuelled the journey back too. It was definitely on the pricier side by worth it as a treat.

Looks stunning - Edit
I ve been following Arapina on social media for a while and on visiting London this had to be my first port of call.
Read moreOn entering the small cafe it looks amazing. Very instagrammable! I was so excited to be trying the pastries and ordered the pistachio croll, almond croissant and pain au chocolate along with a matcha latte for my daughter.
As a party of three we all tried a bit of each others order and all thought the same thing. Looks beautiful at a glance but on eating all the pastries were stale and a bit burnt. However, my sister enjoyed the flavour of the almond croissant but I found it too rich. The pistachio croll was rather stale and the cream inside was greasy. At £6.95 it’s rather expensive.
My daughter had the matcha latte which she wasn’t sure whether they used cow’s milk or not. I don’t recall whether the serving staff had asked for preference of milk and I guess we had assumed would be made from soya. Our mistake there, so make sure to state which milk you want on ordering. She left most of the latte as she hadn’t said anything to me at the time.
It’s such a shame it didn’t live up to expectations.
Pros: Looks beautiful
Cons: Stale pastries, On the burnt side, Pricey

So many fab options! - Edit
All I can say is wow! Been following this bakery on social media so when it came to staying in Greenwich I knew I had to stay near and visit and I was not disappointed.
Read moreWe had the savoury mushroom and leek croissant (10/10), rainbow pasty (10/10), almond croissant (10/10), pistachio croll (10/10), cinnamon brioche (8/10), pear macaron (8/10), and a pumpkin pie (4/10).
We will definitely be back and I will be getting a croll again -the one I had was just perfection!

Cinnamon brioche was delicious - Edit
I went to the one in Greenwich market and it had a great vegan range of foods, including some savoury "crolls", mushroom sausage roll etc. I only had the cinnamon brioche and it was so good!

Decent enough - Edit
Don’t let the mixed reviews put you off checking this place out. There is enough interesting variety to make it worthwhile if you’re in the area. The coffee is decent and the vegan pastries I had were above average. Strange location though.

Wouldn't recommend - Edit
I was excited to see that there was a café with many vegan options just around the corner from where I live, but was disappointed by my first visit.
Read moreThe pastry I chose (raspberry croll) was stale and tasted like it had been baked the day prior. I'm also *pretty sure* that the iced latte I ordered didn't come with oat milk (despite my repeating it twice) but whole milk...
Not sure if I just went on a bad day, but I won't be trying my luck again.

This place definitively deserves a recognition. The pastries are awesome and big, and most of them are vegan! Truly recommended.

Avo Toast 10/10 - Edit
I loved this spot! Came after seeing it on the LittleLondonVegan Instagram.. So many new options, I went for breakfast and the staff were lovely. I had a avocado on rye toast which was delicious and filling (portions are really good). I also had a jasmine tea and it came with a cute timer to get the "perfect tea".

To good to go order - Edit
I picked up a 2G2G order, which you can collect up until 8pm although I think the actual sit in part was closed so it seems like they stay up later for deliveries which is nice. In my pack I got 5 vanilla macarons and 2 tarts - all of which are AMAZING. I have never had vegan macarons and although I’ve been vegan for 6 or 7 years now from my memory these were almost exactly the same texture, maybe a little softer. The one thing was that after spending £4 on all of this together has made me die a bit inside seeing from the reviews here that just one macaron is £3.50 - if I hadnt got it reduced these would probably have added up to over £25 of desserts! Also the store was a bit out of the way but I say that by London standards which means I had to walk 10 mins from my bus stop haha.

I keep meaning to try https://toogoodtogo.co.uk have you found it, err, good?

Yes I absolutely love it!! Its a bit difficult as a vegan because you can only really buy from fully vegan places unless places list a specifically vegan option. But I use it all the time for places like Eat of Eden and a few others places, deffo recommend!!

Great, as we're further out of town than you, being almost on the Kent border, fully vegan places aren't an option sadly. Will have to look into what's available locally.

Lovey salads and raw cakes - Edit
As the other reviewer said, expensive but worth it. Quite a few vegan options and some that are also gluten free such as the decadent nut based raw cakes, some of which are also sugar free. Staff are friendly and willing to adapt the salads to make them vegan. Good quality food.

Pros: Outside seating (away from traffic), Quality salads , Amazing cakes
