I freaking loved this place!! - Edit
One of the number 1 things I miss being plant based is the pastries so was so happy when I found this spot! Beautifully decorated and really lovely service. My almond crossaint was incredible. The only thing I would say is the toilets could be cleaner but everything else makes up for that.

Cream Dream - Edit
I gave Cream Dream another shot, but it just didn’t work for me again. The croissant was very dry and had the texture of regular bread. The chocolate cake I got was not tasty at all. I threw away both items after one bite because they were inedible, which was really disappointing as these cost £9. It’s really too bad because the staff are super sweet and I really want to like this place, I’ve added a star for this point.

I think I must’ve ordered the wrong thing because the snickers dessert was OK and not my favorite. I’ll try the savory dishes next time because they look amazing. 😉

Loved it!! 💕🌱✨ - Edit
The vibe was so cute and pretty, pink, flowers…very adorable decor. The staff are all very friendly and helpful which adds to the charming atmosphere. The sweet treats are beautiful, unique and delicious, though pricey because of the high quality ingredients and love that goes in to making them!

wanted to love it - Edit
I wanted to love these pastries—they all look incredible and they’re not cheap—but the flavors fell a bit short for me.
Read moreThe shop is cute and the staff is very kind.
Pros: pastries I don’t see often/hadn’t had before, everything looked delicious, many gluten-free options
Cons: lacked significant and varied flavor

Pastries I've never tried - Edit
The shop is very pink and kitsch with a friendly atmosphere. There are so many pastries to choose from, many of which I've never seen before. Pricey though: the one I picked was £12. It was chestnut cream and meringue with hazelnut on the sides and a chocolate truffle on top, delicious and different. I want to go back for the savoury food too (and probably more pastries)!
Read morePros: A lot of choice, friendly staff, pastries I've never tried before
Cons: High price point, the aesthetic isn't exactly my thing

Uber sweet sweets - Edit
Very romantic and kitch place with incredibly sweet deserts and pastries. I did not actually find my choice of white chocolate lemon 'cake' to be to my taste as it was 'too' white chocolaty and sweet for me, but I appreciated the craft and could see that they have good stuff.

Absolutely must try! - Edit
One of my favorite places in LDN. Love tbe pastry, love the vibe, love the message and purpose. The almond croissant is flaky with a rich creamy filling. To choose only one eclair is nearly impossible. The breakfast pancakes and waffles I had to go back for.

The BEST vegan pastries in London! - Edit
This is such a lovely little place. The staff couldn’t be more friendly and the pastries are just heavenly. It’s so nice to try authentic Ukrainian specialities that you wouldn’t normally come across. If you’re in London, you HAVE to go here!

Good food - Edit
Had the chicken Kyiv which was nice, though it was a bit overpriced (£17) and presented in a gourmet way, which looks nice but also would just prefer a hearty meal for that price.

Definitely coming back! - Edit
I’m so glad I came here on my recent trip to London! All the staff were so friendly and helpful and all the pastries looked delicious (I wish I could try them all 🤪)! I got the vegan English breakfast and a raspberry tart. SO GOOD! Definitely coming back to try their more traditional Ukrainian offerings. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Such a cool place - Edit
The decor is really inviting. Music was fun. I had the chicken bagel. It had a lot of flavor, and filled me up. I also tried the shushkovsky coffee. It is spiced, and so different, in the best way possible. Very earthy, almost flowery.

Ethically scrumptious - Edit
I was excited for breakfast and it lived up to expectations. I thought a unicorn might be hiding in the floral decorations. Pancakes, avocado toast, croissants and scrunptious

Yummy Ukrainian vegan pastries - Edit
You can’t miss this cute little vegan shop. Everything is basically pink we love the decorations. It was really done up nicely. Yummy treats, and super friendly, and proficient staff. You can get a cat sticker if you buy an item, and they had samples the day we were there of the pastries (not the cats, that was a joke). The restroom is upstairs pretty steep, and there’s only one stall, so there might be a line. The restaurant is about the size of my master walk-in closet at home, so beware if your cost of phobic that you might be standing outside in the rain. But it’s worth it. Make sure you ring the bell that says free hugs, because they give really good Hugs.
