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.

Good but so pricey - Edit
Staff were very helpful in describing and recommending teas. Very friendly too and everything done with a smile. The tea was good, as was the pistachio tart. But neither was outstanding and they might not be worth the price in some people’s eyes.

Cute shop, excellent pastries - Edit
I got a passion fruit eclair and a raspberry tart. Both were delicious! Also it’s fully operated by refugees from Ukraine. Service was very polite. Highly recommended!

Very instagrammable, but that's all - Edit
I am very sorry for such a low rating, but I did not enjoy the cakes. For me they were lacking flavour and wasn't sweet at all. I can understand the high price of the cakes, sice they are very pretty and elaborated, but definitively too much for such bland flavours.

AMAZING cakes and tea!!!! - Edit
Exquisite pastries here are a real treat. Every mouthful is bliss and the vegan cream in these cakes is every bit as good as cow cream, and NOT the usual fake-tasting vegan cream. This is extremely high quality cake making, but vegan. Also, the staff are Ukrainian refugees and really nice.

Cute & Fun!! - Edit
The atmosphere is so cute, the treats are so fun!!! Although the funnest looking ones are the hard chocolate coated cream filled ones, the winner for me was the tangerine tart! it was sooo creamy and had so much flavour! I would definitely come back just for that alone, but i want to try even more. Yum!

Spenny but a lovely treat! - Edit
Had the snickers eclair which was lovely although maybe a bit dark for my tastes. Great options. Expensive and the tables really needed a clean but I’d definitely come back.

Amazing Find - Edit
Randomly found this spot while walking around London and absolutely loved it! Such warm & friendly service, lovely decor & atmosphere, and of course not just beautiful but also delicious pastries! Highly recommend a stop here. We were just after breakfast so we took our pastries for takeaway - eclair Snickers and pistachio tart, both fantastic. Do yourself a favor and stop in!

A dream come true - Edit
Having read only positive and delighted reviews of this place, I had high hopes but they were exceeded! The place is adorably decorated, conveniently located and the patisserie just blew my mind (and my non vegan, non gluten free friend!).
Read moreI didn't even know pastries like this were possible, being vegan and gluten free. So I am truly in awe.
Delicate tasting and not too sweet (which can be a thing with vegan stuff sometimes!). Just downright perfect. You can taste the quality of the ingredients and I'm so happy to pay for that (and the great location).
The teapots, plates and cutlery are just gorgeous and we loved the herbal tea, Carpathian Delight, that we were recommended. It all complemented perfectly.
I think someone else said this but I echo it, this place deserves to do incredibly well and I will be back very regularly! We are lucky to have this in London!

Unique experience! - Edit
Highly accomplished patisserie here. Yes, it's pricey but these are perfectly crafted works of art that you won't find anywhere else, not to mention supporting a worthy business in a prime city centre location. All the more impressive for being vegan and GF - I feel sure some people are tempted in without realising.
Read moreAs another reviewer said, pastry flavours are delicate but they pack a punch on texture and aesthetics. I loved the malty, thirst-quenching buckwheat tea. Pots are big enough to share.
There's loads of seating and staff don't hurry you. I'd have welcomed some music playing for a bit more atmosphere.
Pros: Period products in loo

Texture food - Edit
My husband and I accidentally found this place 10 days after it opened. Not knowing it just opened, it was very busy and looked like a popular vegan spot. They are vegan, gluten free, and refined sugar free.
Read moreThe food is a little pricey but I happily paid as it is Ukrainian owned/run and want to see this place thrive. We got a pistachio dessert and brownie/cake to go. The brownie/cake was good. The pistachio dessert surprised me with a few different textures which was nice. Hidden under the pistachio mouse was a cake like texture and the crust is a crispy texture. This dessert was on the mild side of sweetness.
We decided to stop by the next day to try more. We got tea and a boysenberry dessert. I thought we ordered a berry tea, but it tasted more like chamomile. Good chamomile though. The boysenberry dessert was really good. It was much sweeter than the pistachio. I surprisingly liked the jelly like layer. The texture was really unique. I liked the slight tartness of that layer too. Hidden under this layer was two more layers. There was a slightly cake like layer and a little pudding but in the middle. The crust was the same as the pistachio dessert.
Seems like this place was designed for instagram photos. Decor is very cute and thought went into every detail. The bathroom doors have beautiful flowers painted on them. Looks like they also know how to market themselves well. The service was great and wish this business a successful future!

Fab little place - Edit
All vegan, gluten free and sugar free. Pastries made fresh daily and they’ll soon have eclairs and macarons. All this plus coffee and teas, including Ukrainian ones. In the heart of Covent Garden and supporting (and run by) Ukrainian refugees in the UK. I had a berry and chocolate tart and CARPATHIAN mountain tea. Plus it’s pet friendly. Loved it.
