SO DELICIOUS

I've been wanting to try these pastries for a while and I am so glad I finally did!! I was there early so all the pastries were on display it looked incredible! (wish I took a photo but I was too focused on choosing what to try) The owner is lovely very friendly and helpful. I went for a custard cream cannolo, a pistacchio cruffin and a custard fruit tart. They were all delicious I especially enjoyed the cannolo. Will definitely visit again on my next trip to London!

Take a Bite and Smile - GO THERE ASAP! :)

ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL!!! I cannot recommend this little place enough! I've never seen so many authentic (vegan) Italian baked goods in my life. My absolute favorite was the pistachio brioche (Maritozzo), the texture was amazing and it wasn't very sweet, which is my preference. The donuts had a really nice texture and the custard was very flavorful. The Cannolo's and the Pastiera also deserve a shout out.

Ciara was also aptly named, as she was definitely a ray of light, she had such a nice and sweet personality. She explained the region each pastry was from, which was really nice to learn. She recently re-opened, as someone crashed into (and destroyed) her old cart, so please hurry over to her little spot and support her business, you won't regret it. My partner also mentioned that he would never have guessed her delicious creations were vegan if no one told him. I'm obsessed and still dreaming about that Maritozzo! So delicious!

Delicious find!

There are no vegan pastries in my local coffee shops so finding Take a Bite is such a win! Incredible pistachio cream filling, big croissants and buns. The owner is also super friendly. It’s not the cheapest but I lm always happy to support local and small businesses

Pros: Lots of choice, Decent size, Friendly owner

Amazing vegan pastries

I have collected online orders a couple of times to treat vegan family members and it makes a great gift. Everything I’ve had has been 10/10: filled croissants, cannoli (cream horn), pistachio and banoffee tarts, lemon cruffins. If I lived in London I would be here every weekend!

Fantastic selection

I was so pleased to see this still it exists, there was a huge selection of vegan pastries and desserts. I went with a custard conolo and my partner the jam donut. They ever survived being in a back pack in a rain storm. I really want to try the croissants, tiramisu and her other selections.

Simply the best!

I was so lucky to find this food stall run by the lovely Chiara.
She makes traditional Italian sweets that are definitely worth buying.
I tried the vanilla cannolo, pistachio croissant, and the classic tiramisu.
Hard to choose a favourite as they were all delicious! The pastry was on point, with all the classic layers and the right texture.
But, the tiramisu takes the crown! This was a proper tiramisu, one I haven’t had since becoming vegan. And I’ve tried many in different places, there is simply no comparison to the one Chiara makes, the proper creamy vegan mascarpone is heaven and not heavy . The best!
Highly recommended!

Delicious authentic Italian treats

Please do yourself a favour and seek out this cute little market stall in Clapham. There were so many delicious looking pastries, cakes and desserts, all 100% vegan

It’s so hard to find vegan pastries never mind ones that are this tasty! I had the chocolate Cannoncini and a pistachio croissant. They also had a tiramisu that I have my eye on for next time 🤤

The lady who runs the stall was also so friendly and talked about the different regions of Italy the food was from

Pros: Pastries were delicious, Friendly stall holder

Delicious pistachio croissants - hard to come by!!

I am so happy to have come across this stall! The stall is there on Fri, Sat and Sundays (check her website to double check times) on Northcote Road as part of their market. The lady, Chiara, who owns the place, is so lovely and the first time we went there she explained the food and background for us. We tried the pistachio and chocolate cannoli, and the Nutella and pistachio croissants. It’s very hard to find vegan pistachio pastries so this was an absolute treat - the pistachio cream was so good and actually tasted like pistachio. Plus the nutella was rich and tasty. I am yet to try her other cakes but they look amazing. Would recommend visiting!

Pros: Hard to find vegan pastries, Lovely owner, Pistachio cream!
