Sweet vegan spot

I 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.

Darling little Swedish establishment

I love meatball and mashed potato and gravy and open sandwich. The croissant was pretty amazing as well.

Pros: Fantastic service, Very clean facility, Delicious food

Cons: On the weekend, you better make a reservation, Very limited seating so get there early

Gluten-free must visit!

Daun’s is wonderful and an absolute must-visit for anyone with gluten-free dietary requirements! Almost everything on the menu can be made gluten-free 😍 Definitely recommend.

Original review 2024: Bought a delicious gluten-free brownie from Daun’s - I’d been hunting for one all day and they didn’t disappoint! I’ll definitely return to try the full menu (five stars pending!)

Updated from previous review on 2024-09-09

Pros: Gluten-free options

Love this little slice of Scandi heaven!

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!

Delicious cinnamon roll and I think it’s great that they offer 10% discount for students and NHS people. The tea I had was also super good.

One of my faves in London

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

Fantastic Food! Cute Place.

Walked all the way here from the WE for the vegan croissants! Totally worth it. Sweet little cafe with great roasted sarnies- we had the tomato basil toastie and the garlic mushroom toastie. YUM!!
Such a warm and welcoming place. The owner works behind the counter and is really lovely.

Favourite cozy vegan cafe

I always come back here for comforting food and good vibes. Affordable tasty dishes, and lovely warm & welcoming atmosphere. Couldn’t recommend more. Lovely vegan meatballs, and actually nice & tasty scramble tofu unlike in many places. 10/10.

Tofu scramble to die for

I discovered Daun's over my 2 days in London, and loved it! I first had the soup of the day + portion of scrambled tofu - easily the best one I've ever had! Creamy, tasty, perfect! I returned the next day to have that scramble again - this time on toast and with all the toppings. Amazing!

Great vegan cafe

We have visited here for breakfast/ brunch several times in the last 4 months. Friendly service and lovely Swedish themed vegan food all freshly prepared. My favourite, if I had to pick, is the croissant with scrambled tofu, but we haven't been disappointed with anything we've tried on menu so far. For London, the prices are very reasonable too. Would definitely recommend.

Pros: Great food , Plenty choices on menu, Reasonable prices

Cons: None.

Amazing apple crumble!

Good vibes, friendly staff, interesting and delicious food. There is also a small shop area to buy swedish vegan food to take away, alongside the cafe/food bit.

I liked the meatballs and sauce and salad. I didn’t like the mash but that’s just personal preference. The cracker thing was okay but bit bland for me. Overall the food was interesting, of a high quality, and I enjoyed trying it.

Edit:

Apple crumble here is phenomenal! Best apple crumble i’ve had in my life!!! I’m going to be back for the crumble and vegan cookies! Also their english breakfast tea with oat milk is amazing! I am a big tea person and the tea here was very rich in taste but not overpowering. It was just perfect!

Who knew this could be a thing! Well it is, never tried this cusine as a meat eater, glad I did now. Prices are reasonable. Recommend both on a budget and tired of the regular vegan options.

Pros: Selection of food, Priced, Taste

Schwedisch in London, gerne wieder

Sehr leckeres Frühstück, angenehme Atmosphäre und freundliches Personal, ich denke der Chef ist hier auch der Chef. 😉
Die Auswahl in der Theke war zwar am frühen Nachmittag schon eingeschränkt, aber das ist ja eher ein gutes Zeichen. Die Gerichte von der Karte wurden aber frisch hergestellt und waren ausgezeichnet.

Pros: Lecker, Freundlich , Alles Vegan

So good! I've never been to a Scandinavian vegan place before. The yogurt and granola, open faced sandwich, and side salad were all super good!

Fantastico locale danese 100% plant based

Meraviglioso localino con piatti tipici nel nord europa, fanno anche brunch all’inglese e pranzi salati che mi hanno detto essere deliziosi. Noi siamo venuti a fare colazione, abbiamo presi dei deliziosi cinnamon roll ( non troppo dolci e sofficissimi) e un toast salato con scramble tofu e salsicce davvero spettacolare
Un posto dove sedere con calma e godersi un sano momento di relax, esattamente davanti allo Unity Diner!

Mycket bra!

Had their ham and brie cheese croissant, cinnamon bun and flat white.

Only reason why I’m not giving it 5 stars is because coffee was just ok and cinnamon bun was a bit dry. I’ve definitely had better buns before and coming from Australia that has an extraordinary coffee culture I felt these weren’t as good as I hoped for.
