Delicious baked goods from local business - Edit
The baked treats here were so good. They weren’t overly sweet like most bakeries are and had a variety of unique options. They told me to come back if I didn’t like anything and they’d swap for something else, but everything I tried was great. The cinnamon swirl roll was my favorite!

good - Edit
The counter person was very sweet and explained about how they make their own vegan butter. The pastries were good. We tried the lemon poppy seed and chocolate hazelnut swirl.

Delicious pastries! - Edit
This bakery near Spitalfields market is as incredible. I had the pistachio swirl and PBJ swirl - everything is made by scratch and the pastry itself is so flaky and delicious. Wish I could have tried everything!

Excellent pastries - Edit
The chef inside told me these were the best pastries I would have because she made the butter from scratch. She very well might be right. The texture and taste of the rolls I got were exceptional. Definitely worth the visit.

Lovely bakery with some amazing pastries. Would like to have savoury options as there was only one and I was hoping to get both sweet and savoury.

The Most Heavenly Baked Goods - Edit
Checked out this bakery after seeing a fab review on Facebook. So much choice, wonderfully friendly staff and reasonably priced too! We both had a Vanilla Bean Croissant and took home a Cinnamon swirl and hazelnut swirl. We chatted to the staff and said we’d come all the way from Cardiff to taste their croissants/swirls and to take some home and were offered 2 free coffees. I can’t begin to describe the flavours, I wouldn’t do them justice but all I can say is ‘WOW’! Visit and support if you can, they will not disappoint!!

Vegan Bakery - Outstanding - Edit
Walked past a few times and missed it, it’s small with only enough room for a few people inside. But you can see into the bakery where they prepare the food and the ovens which I thought was cool.
Read moreQuite a few savoury options but loads of sweet pastries. I chose the pain au chocolate and I would never of guessed it was vegan, it was so soft and buttery. Definitely going to go back here.

Hands down the best croissant - Edit
I've always loved croissants. Since I've been vegan the choice has not been that great. But these are the best I've ever had, including the pre-vegan days.
Read moreI want to also say this: I normally prefer the non-glazed variety. These were glazed. They are still the best I've ever tried.

Delicious - so hard to choose! - Edit
We had the cheeze and pesto and PB&J pastries. Both were delicious, buttery and flaky. And a lovely iced matcha. Given it’s a very quick walk from our hotel I will have to go back, the pistachio citrus was calling my name.

Fantastic + Huge Selection - Edit
We went and shared 6 different pastries (they are all very large so you get good value for money). The highlights for us were the pistachio bun and the almond bun. Although the croissant was also amazing and very light.

Tasty vegan delights - Edit
It’s a walk-in bakery. There is a large bench outside. I came here on my birthday and brought cakes to share with my friends. I had the Chocolate hazelnut swirl and matcha latte. The pastry was fresh, moist and very tasty. Fantastic vegan bakery. Thank you

Nice flavour, but... - Edit
Unfortunately no seating, and the paper bag I got for the pastry was so small I wasn't able to close it properly. When I got back to my hotel shortly after buying it, the pastry had nice flavours, but was a bit on the dry side. Also, it could have been more «flaky», and less tough to pull apart. A pity, I had really been looking forward to it...

Delicious baked treats - Edit
We got four things between the two of us.
Read moreI got a citrus pistachio swirl, and a pesto and cheese bun. The swirl was delicious, soft on the inside with good crispiness on the outside. There was plenty of good flavour from the cream. It was sticky, messy and great. The pesto cheese bun had good textures with a good amount of cheese but very little pesto.
My partner got a chocolate hazelnut swirl and a morning bun. This swirl was great too with plenty of tasty chocolate hazelnut butter. The morning bun was like the others, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside filled with cinnamon, cardamom and orange zest. This was delicious too with lots of flavour from the spicing.
We also got a takeaway coffee and hot chocolate and these were good. There's no seating inside so we ate everything on one of the handful of seats they have outside the shop.
