our favorite in London - Edit
Dauns stood out as our best meal during our trip to London, even compared to some of the 'fancier' places we tried. It's a small, casual cafe with lots of options. Pleasant atmosphere and simply tasty breakfast. This would have been a repeat spot for us if we had come earlier in our stay.

Absolutely Gem - Edit
I'm so happy we found this place. Just seeing the menu online made my mouth water!
Read moreStaff are really friendly, polite, and helpful, and the food is incredible. We booked a table for brunch, I had the gf options, and it was superb. The bread alone was out of this world. As fellow gf vegans know, it's hard to find decent gf options, and most gf bread is horrid, but 6 is delicious, and you get proper doorstep slices too! The scrambled tofu was so creamy and light, the garlic mushrooms were stunning, and everything on the plate was delicious and plentiful. I also had a Christmas chai drink, which was the best hot drink I've ever tasted! I got one to take away, too. We also stocked up on Honestly Tasty cheese, which they sell alongside other vegan goodies.
I wish they'd open a restaurant in Whitstable. There are a lot of vegans here with a distinct lack of options.
Honestly, if you are in the area, choose Dauns, you won't regret it, friendlier service, food is amazing and value for money, unlike its vegan neighbour across the road.
We will definitely return, im excited to try the whole vegan gf menu.
Pros: Huge choice for gf vegans, Amazing food, Really great staff
Cons: Wished it was in Kent!

Scandinavian Vegan - Yum! - Edit
It’s exactly what it sounds like and is so delicious. It’s small and can get busy (book ahead if possible) but I loved the food I had and would definitely come again.

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.
I tried the brunch this time. The sourdough toast was just perfection. It’s the best bread/toast I’ve ever eaten perfectly buttered and squishy but crispy too. So yummy! The rest was ok and not my favorite beans or tofu scramble, potatoes, etc.

Best Toasties in London - Edit
Lovely little restaurant /cafe just behind Liverpool Street station (about 10 mins walk). Wanted everything on the menu but settled for a "tuna" melt and a mozzarella toastie accompanied by some swedish crisps. 100% perfect. Tasty filling, perfectly melted, crispy bread and hot. The crisps were a lovely addition, tasting of pickled onions. There is so much to try here we will be back.

Unique - Edit
I’ve never been to a vegan Swedish cafe before - the food was nice, I had the meatballs. The real star of the show was the traditional cinnamon bun which was absolutely delicious.
Read moreWent back and tried their smorrebrod (3 for £15) which were excellent! The Brie they use is so realistic.

Decent food, but Scandinavian...? - Edit
As a Norwegian I was curious about this Scandinavian restaurant. First: The sign says «Scandinåvian Vagän», which is the incorrect use of the Swedish letters ä and å. Second: Most of the menu was either British food, Swedish, or Danish food. A clear lack of Norwegian food. That can be forgiven...
Read moreThe food was OK, but it wasn't amazing. The scrambled tofu was super wet, and the sausage weren't bad.
I had to repeat the name of the tea I ordered several times (Smörgårdste), and it came in a mug, not a pot as started on the menu (but I still paid the same price as a mug).
I'm sure you can get better scramble elsewhere in London, but was OK.

Not bad but not 5 stars come on everyone - Edit
This place has been on my list to try for forever because of all the 5 star reviews.
Read moreWe finally went this morning… the vegan brunch plate (scrambled tofu, beans, sausage) had good reviews from others. The open sandwiches were just okay.
It’s not bad but there are far better places for brunch in London.

I agree, breakfast is pretty average. If you want a good vegan breakfast I recommend trying ahima vegan cafe in pinner, and the gallery cafe in bethnal green. Their breakfasts are awesome!

A gem in London - Edit
Insanely tasty - I am usually a very picky eater but here I tried a lot of positions on the menu and they were all magnificent. The prices are very reasonable, I’d even say cheap for London and for the portions you get. The staff is very friendly and happy to accommodate food requests. One of the best places in London, hands down.

Excellent and interesting food, with a relaxed vibe - Edit
100% vegan. Wonderful food, especially the Scandi open sandwiches (smorrebrod) with beetroot salad. The open sandwiches are served cold, which was perfect for the hot weather. I also enjoyed the trifle (a special) and the in-house carrot juice.

Nice Swedish Vegan Dog - Edit
I had the Swedish Basic Dog and it was very good. You can either eat it with fork and knife or roll it up because it comes in a flatbread. Sadly they were out of croissants this day but I ate a cinnamon bun for desert which was also very tasty. Good to eat inside and for take awy!

Delicious food - Edit
I really enjoyed my meal here, i went for the smorgasbord because that is not something you get much as a vegan and it was a delightful combination of tastes and textures. The rye bread was possibly the best part (people who appreciate good bread will understand this is not a slight on the toppings!)
Read moreThe staff and owner were friendly, the decor was nice and i feel the price was really good for the quantity, i had the 3 of the smorgasbord and it was £14.50
