Authentic Scandi eats - Edit
Loved my mash and meatballs with gherkins and lingonberry. The menu looks great and there were many items I would’ve liked to order - maybe next time! Cinnabon was good too.

Great lunch - Edit
I took a colleague here and we had a great lunch, I had the meatballs and she had the Swedish hot dog. Glad we booked as it was busy on a Weds lunchtime. Wish it was open in the evening.

We love Dauns. We first discovered Rickard's food in the covid lockdown, he delivered amazing food and a christmas food hamper (including a very cool t-shirt that my husband still wears).
Read moreWe've since visited his restaurant a few times and have always enjoyed the food immensely. 5 years on and his food is still consistently great.
Highly recommend 💚

Scrumptious vegan plates at amazing value! - Edit
Brought friends here to try and we were blown away how yummy the filled croissants and toasties were at exceptional value for London. My partner wanted to order another filled croissant they were so good. Not to be missed!
Read moreI tried their scrambled tofu with all the toppings. It was great! Service was a little slow so they asked if I wanted anything while I waited which was do kind. I got the peach danish which was yummy. I really want to try the cinnamon bun next time.
Lovely place where I haven’t had the fortune of trying their meals. The chocolate chip cookie was great as was the kombucha from Momo. I will definitely be back to try a Scandinavian meal.

Fantastic - Edit
Friendly welcome. Great menu, need to visit again to be able to try more options. Today though I had the meatballs and mash with creamy gravy, fried onions, pickled gherkins, and lingonberries. It was delicious. The mash potatoes were perfect. It was my first time trying creamy gravy and I loved it. I really enjoyed my meal.
Read moreB had the jumbo hotdog which he really enjoyed.
We took away for later a cheese straw and a peach pastry, which I can confirm were lovely, especially the cheese straw mmm.
Has a customer toilet ✔️
Pros: Friendly, The menu, Delicious food

Nice place - Edit
Cute little café. I had the croissant with mozzarella and tomato, and the toastie with ham and brie. Both were tasty and perfect for a light breakfast.

Loved the Swedish hot dog - Edit
I had the Swedish hot dog and a cinnamon scroll. The Swedish hot dog was one of the best things I’ve eaten in a long time, I’d go back in a heartbeat. I hope I can try more food here. Coffee was good too and service was very friendly.
Read moreThe cinnamon scroll unfortunately was quite dry hence 4 stars instead of 5.

Love this little slice of Scandi heaven! - Edit
The interior and location are to die for! Just walking distance from all the best Vintage clothing shops Brick Lane has to offer! The most lovely interior cafe and the food was heavenly! I had the hotdog with mash potatoes! The mash was incredibly creamy and loved all the topping on the dog! Also had some pastries to go! The cheese twist was divine as well as the chocolate globe! A absolute gem in East London! Highly recommend!

One of my faves in London - Edit
Dauns is one of the most underrated places in London, with great food, drinks and prices. Their baked goods make for a great and indulgent breakfast. And I’m a big fan of all their open sandwiches and potato salad for lunch. Dinner is the meatballs or the stew. They also serve cocktails and other alcoholic drinks if that’s your thing. And their events are pretty ace too. The owner is a longtime vegan and is lovely. I never knew I’d love Swedish food so much. Dauns should be at the top of everyone’s list when in London
