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.

honestly garkein stern verdient - Edit
Ich hab noch nie so schlechte pastries gegessen!
Read moreMan kommt rein es fühlt sich schon alles dreckig an, die Vitrine auch dreckig aber naja, die sachen sehen cute aus!
Haben das Croissant und das i can buy myself flowers eclaire bestellt. Beides einmal abgebissen und gegangen. Das Croissant hat geschmeckt wie altes Brot und das Eclair nach nichts. Beides war nichtmehr frisch sondern sehr trocken auch. Die Gabeln waren auch sehr dreckig. Wenn man die stiegen hinaufgeht extrem dreckig, auf der Toilette willst dich übergeben soo dreckig alles. Nicht benutzt dreckig sondern seit 5 Jahren nicht geputzt dreckig. Alles sehr ekelhaft. Hat garkeine sterne verdient. DONT GO TO THIS PLACE
Wenn alles so dreckig und versifft ist, will man garnicht wissen wie die mit dem Essen umgehen !!
würd ich als nicht veganer da rein gehen würd ich nie mehr was veganes probieren ew
Mahlzeit mir is schlecht

Oh my! - Edit
Wow! I went expecting to eat patisserie but had a full Ukrainian meal and dessert instead and it was exceptional. First time eating vegan Eastern European type dumplings as I’ve been craving those for ages. My first Varenyky ever. The sweet and savory dumplings were outstanding as was the potato pancake, borsch with pampushka rolls and garlic butter dipping sauce YUM!! We will come back here for sure!!
Read moreThe pot of tea is very beautiful and generous for £5. It can easily serve four to share. We tried the rhubarb and almond tart which was yummy. It was almost like an almond shortbread base with a rhubarb cream and then glazed rhubarb on top. Not very sweet at all but lovely. I was gutted I didn’t have room to try some dumplings here or other hot and savoury food.
Yummy cherry dumplings, zyma tea, and buckwheat tea that we forgot to take a picture of doh! Now you order on your phone. Sometimes they will bring your things upstairs. Sometimes you need to go get it. We didn’t know. Doh!

Cute & pink but very expensive - Edit
The place and aesthetics are lovely and there are many options to choose from. Overall good pastries and drinks although not everything was to my liking and it was way too expensive (hence the three stars). 40 pounds for 3 small pastries, a cup of coffee and a cup of tea seems a bit much.

Honestly the vibes here are bad, the chairs are old and dirty. The staff is nonchalant. And the desserts and food itself is mediocre

Decent service and food - Edit
We had hot food and it was very good. I didn’t try the cakes which I actually went for as i thought the price was too high. I’m not saying it’s not a fair price or not good value but it was more than I wanted to pay for cakes. The hot good we had was worth the money so I guess the cakes probably are too.

Great food, not such great service - Edit
Edit 2025: have been a few more times and it’s been hit or miss. Loved the rainbow pancakes - they were amazing, but other items like the eclairs were really not good. So I guess it’s all in what you choose.
Read more2024 review: With only a few menus in the whole place it was difficult to read one, and the qr code directed us to an app which was annoying. There was then a whole rigmarole where they gave one of our dishes away to another table and then told us they’d run out. This meant we didn’t eat at the same time and didn’t get what we paid for.
The food we had was pretty tasty, though pricey. I wanted to love the place, but found it quite dark and the fake flowers unhygienic. Maybe it was just one bad day, but it was a bit disappointing.

Hi,
Read moreThank you for your feedback. We’re really sorry to hear you didn’t enjoy your experience with us and hope we can make it up to you in the future.
The QR code system is there to help customers skip the queue. Right now, it works only through our app, which is common for cafes, but we’re working on adding a website version soon.
We also apologize for the mix-up with your order. Since the QR code and table systems are new to our staff, we had some trouble finding customers at first. Thankfully, we’ve gotten the hang of it now, so this shouldn’t happen again.
As for the flowers, they are cleaned regularly and don’t have dust, so they’re completely safe 🙌
Thank you for letting us know how we can do better 🩷

A dream in pink - Edit
It's like the most colorful place in London. The interior designers did such an impressive job. As I already said: it's a dream of different pink shades. The food itself was almost as beautiful as the interior. Wonderfully decorated, lovely drinks and savory dishes. Great place: 9.8/10

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.

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!
