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.

Cute little café - Edit
Update:
Read moreWe came back to try their savoury dishes (they didn't offer them as first when they just opened). They were amazing! I don't know anything about Ukrainian cuisine so it's great to discover different cultures via food and this place is so authentic. We had pastries too, of course, we couldn't miss out on them. And their pink matcha drink is delicious, I almost ordered another one!
Original review:
I found this place simply by browsing Instagram, without even looking for anything in particular (my phone knows me well)... The café looks very pretty and unique at the same time. It’s still rare to find a fully vegan AND gluten-free bakery so I had to go!
We had the coffee caramel cake and the raspberry & marzipan tart. All pastries are more or less the same price (more than £10), which is quite expensive but I have to admit it was also delicious. And the pink atmosphere might make you enjoy it more.
They don't have any website so you need Instagram (or TikTok) to see regular updates, what they add on their menu etc.

Lovely place, would definitely go again! - Edit
Had a nice lunch, everything delicious and very pretty. Staff was friendly and got everything very quickly. Pastries looked nice but my dad tried the eclair and said it was a bit papery, maybe other things are good though (my food was very nice)

Excellent for lunch and dessert - Edit
Authentic Ukrainian dishes that were beautiful and delicious. Wife had 'salmon steak', I had the chicken Kyiv. Crispy and delicious with an unusual (to me) flavor profile. Very friendly staff.

I want to live in this bakery - Edit
I was speechless when I saw the pastry case. Everything was so beautiful! I settled for the Queen’s currant pistachio pastry and it was better than I expected; not overly sweet, soft, perfect texture…😋
Read moreI also had a spinach pancake with salmon and cheese- really great.
I downed all that with Shuvkovsky - coffee, which has seven spices. I loved it all!!
Pros: Pastries, Coffee , Everything!!
Cons: Everything is pink 😹

Expensive but worth it - Edit
The pastry selection here is so different from what you find in most cafés. It's really expensive, but for a one-off visit, I absolutely recommend it.

Great for breakfast and coffee - Edit
We had the rainbow pancakes, strawberry crepes, and avocado toast. They were all good, but the pancakes were especially good - it's fun to have different flavors in each, but it is a lot of pancakes, even if they look small. And the coffee was great. Crepes were really good and the avocado toast was beautiful, though not as special.

Lovely little bakery - Edit
They had beautiful cakes and the cinnamon roll was tasty la the macaroons are delightful! The resin that it’s not 5 star is that the cakes we overpriced. Ranging from 8£-12 for one small cakes is not affordable.
Read morePros: Croissants and rolls , Macaroons wonderful
Cons: Overpriced

We tried the blue flowers eclair and the raspberry-marzipan creamy cake. Both were excellent, very unusual! A bit pricey though, hence the 4 stars.

Devine and worth every penny - Edit
Such a wonderful place to find. It was worth the travel to come here. I spent an embarrassing amount of time trying to choose what to eat as everything looked delicious. The lovely lady helped me to make a choice and it was perfect. The pastry was the right balance of sweet with a light flavour. The matcha latte was expertly made. I would have happily taken one of each home!
Read moreI then had food envy from the people on the table next to me, so I ordered a main meal too. This is such a wonderful place and I would recommend it to all, not just those who follow a vegan lifestyle.

Didn’t live up to my hopes - Edit
I don’t like to critique fully vegan businesses but this place was a miss for me. Perhaps I went on a bad day or made a bad selection but the peanut eclair I had tasted incredible stale, borderline inedible. Disappointing for £10 ☹️
Read morePros: Fully vegan business, Nice interior decoration
Cons: Eclair was barely edible , Expensive

I had one of these yesterday and felt the same way. I was really disappointed as it looked nice but was hard and stale

Also, this place does hot savoury food, we got too distracted by the display case of sweet treats, but the menu is more extensive than we thought!
