Good place for breakfast

The toasties were good, although a bit greasy. We tried three different toasties and liked all of them. The knifes were unfortunately not sharp enough to cut them.
We liked the cinnamon bun. The almond pastrie got mixed reviews between the four of us. Good tea and coffee.

Pros: Friendly staff

My favourite place in London

This place is quickly becoming my favourite in London. It is relatively cheap in comparison to other places and the food is delicious. The staff are all super nice, my only criticism is that they can sometimes be slow. Not a huge issue though as the benefits outweigh this.

Just fantastic!

This small and unassuming cafe is where I had the best food of my trip to London. Everything was delicious and it really shows that the owner is passionate about making good vegan food. The Scandinavian menu is completely unique in the vegan food scene in London.

We got the smorrebrod trio, the cheese and seitan platter, and the Swedish meatballs, and had pastries and hot chocolate for dessert. It's hard to pick a favorite but if I had to, the meatballs were wonderful - served with creamy mashed potatoes, white gravy, a fresh salad, and lingonberry jam.

Don't miss this place!

Pros: Absolutely delicious food , Friendly service , Nice atmosphere

Cons: Not open for dinner

Unusual menu, need to get better with the service

Was very excited to try Daun’s as finally someone offers original menu in London.
Ordered one of the open sandwiches(fishy) and Swedish quesadillas for starter. The quesadilla was forgotten so never got to try, the sandwich was bit disappointing, very small and not very tasting of “fish” rather dill tofu “cottage cheese” spread. As main we had the meatballs, they were nice served with very good white sauce, mashed potatoes, salad, bread and cranberry jam.
For dessert we had the in house made miso chocolate ice cream- delicious! And guava one, also nice.

The person serving us was nice, however the service was very slow. Only for the starters (at the end only one) we waited for over 20min, very warm tap water, …

All in it came to about £34, normal for London.

I’m thinking to come back and hope for better.

Pros: Unusual menu, Location

Cons: Slow service

Unusual vegan fare

Rare to find Scandinavian vegan food. This was very good; plenty of options, freshly made. I had the seitan roast open sandwich, which was modest in size but deceptively filling. The take out salad was equally good value and very tasty. They also sell "honestly tasty" cheese, which is well worth trying if you miss dairy.

Pros: Freshly made healthy food, Good value for money, Friendly owner/staff

Daun's

I recently tried Daun's and love the atmosphere and the fact they sell their own product (e.g., vegan artisanal cheese) and other vegan products. The only reason I didn't give five stars is because the cinnamon roll was not my favorite (it was also dry) and the charcoal artisanal cheese I bought had the wrong cheese inside the container, which was actually peppercorn artisanal cheese. The staff and I talked about how I really disliked peppercorn cheese and they helped me find an alternative flavor (charcoal instead), so I just had to laugh about this happening when I got home.

Mukava

We already had lunch elsewhere, so only space for a snack. We tried the sausage in a roll, the spicy and non spicy version, both were quite nice. The cinnamon bun could be improved for our taste, it was a bit too hard. From Finland I know the fluffy korvapuusti from Pagen/Gifflar. However maybe the Swedish original is supposed to have a bit firmer dough.
The staff was quite friendly and it's really nice that there is a vegan Scandinavian restaurant in London. If we come to London again we will go for lunch here to check out the other options :-)

Pros: Friendly staff, Something new compared to all the fast food places

Delicious lunch options

I had a toastie with seitan, saurkraut and Swedish mustard, which was perfectly sweet and filling, and a cheeze twist with a tangy harissa mayo. Both were a really nice, fresh lunch option which I could easily take back to the office. Both were reasonably priced and felt like much better value for money than picking up a meal deal close by.

The menu was full and there was a great selection of specials available which I'll definitely be back to try soon!

Very friendly owner who was helpful and accomodating despite the cafe being quite busy during the lunch period.

Pros: Takeaway options, Fresh and cupboard items available to buy

Delicious and cool vibe

Went for breakfast and had the Tunnbrödsrulle (and added Tofish for the novelty factor which was so tasty and not very fishy, which was a plus for me) along with a Swedish black tea and a sparkling water.

The sausage in the open sandwich which is the Tunnbrödsrule honestly, per my non-vegan friend, you wouldn't know isn't real meat had you not been told. It was really filling and tasted great along with the rest of the dish.

The vibe inside is cool but given the limited seating, you might want to try go off-peak. A table was reserved but we managed to break off two seats per the staff there. The service was what you'd imagine in a hip vegan establishment: friendly, bit chaotic, weirdly when asking for tap water the waitress would come over with a jug but only pour / top up our respective cups.

My Tofish came out first as they thought it was going to be a shared starter, but the mains quickly followed so there was no issue. It's a very small cooking area so I imagine that if the place fills up at once and a bunch of food orders go in, there could be some delay.

In any event, I highly recommend and I would certainly return.

Pros: Delicious food, Novel options, Cool vibe

Cons: Hold back on the tap water, Quite warm, Limited seating

Great for a slow lunch

Lots of amazing options on the menu. Available for a sitdown meal or takeaway. Prices reasonable for London - £8 for a sandwich and salad. Restaurant was quiet but still took 15 minutes for my order to be ready.

Pros: Inventive menu, Lots of options, Friendly staff

Cons: Bit slow

Wonderful Vegan cafe

This was a great find! Lovely fresh salads in all shapes and sizes, toasties and vegan gluten free dessert - what’s not to like.

Really friendly personal service and a genuine desire to please.

We had a lovely meal with a great choice of raw and fresh foods as well as cooked items.

Really a pleasure to find a vegan establishment that isn’t serving junk food like so many are at the moment.

Healthy, friendly, delicious and good value for money.

Pros: All vegan menu and great food, Allergen aware, Great service and good value

Authentic and lovely tastes from Scandinavia !

Came in to Daun’s on a freezing Friday, we’ve been received warmly and found here some incredible vg flavours like “Smörrebröd” (tofish fingers and danish remoulade) or Toasties! If you step in London, it is worth to step in Daun’s. Discuss with Daun is a big time 😊

Cute cosy spot!

Spotted this by chance as it is across the road from Unity Diner. Wonderful owner and menu looks delicious. Range of swedish products available that can also be bought. Really wanted to try the swedish cinnamon buns but they were sold out. Recommend going earlier on in the day as the pastries seem very popular! Tried the swedish chocolate globe which was insanely good. Certainly hope to be back.

Pros: Friendly owner , Wholesome atmosphere

A little gem.

We had a delicious brunch here yesterday. We shared a Scandi inspired cheese and charcuterie board with crackers, jam and pickles and a bowl of houmous with crispy chilli chickpeas and olive oil baked sourdough. The oat milk cappuccino was one of the best I've had! Service was great and we even got to chat to the man himself. Lovely place & looking forward to going back.

Pros: Delicious Scandi inspired food., Lovely vibe., Friendly service
