Lovely place

Really enjoyed my meal of a selection smorrebrod that I shared with a friend. The chef took the time to explain to us what we were eating. They also sell pastries (the almond croissant is really good), cheeses and other Scandinavian products.

Lovely Scandi Eatery

This is a lovely Scandi eatery around Petticoat lane. With vegan eateries popping up around, this area will soon be booming again. I had a trio taster of open sandwiches, which I really enjoyed. The owner was lovely and provided a good insight into the food. Relaxed vibe and would definitely visit again. Everything is plant based so no questions from me. 😊

Pros: Everything vegan , Tasty and different , Friendly service

If you want to try something different

We had a really great time there. The kids loved the hot dog and said it could have fooled a non-vegan. I had the soup and rye bread and it was lovely. Great cake and pastries too, especially the cinnamon buns and the little coconut balls that were so moreish! The owners are super friendly and they sell Scandinavian and vegan products at the cafe. It’s in a neighbourhood that has plenty of vegan places but this one is definitely unique there.

Pros: Completely vegan, Scandinavian food, Great cakes and pastries

Welcoming café with delicious food!

I came here with my fiancée for a light lunch. It’s a cute little café with a deli selling ‘meats’, ‘cheeses’ and other bits too. The staff were really lovely and attentive and the food itself was really delicious! We got Garlic Mushroom & Honestly Tasty Camembert Toasties which were amazing! I’ve had Honestly Tasty ‘cheeses’ before and they’re all really delicious, so I was excited to have the ‘Camembert’ in the toastie – it melted really well and it was really delicious. The toast and mushrooms were also really tasty – an all-round winner.

We also got a selection of sweet treats – a cinnamon bun, peach pastry and Swedish chocolate globes. The cinnamon bun and peach pastry were really tasty but the Swedish chocolate globes were the stand-out for me, absolutely delicious. They were so good we bought 2 more to take home!

Pros: Delicious food, Lovely staff, The Swedish chocolate globes!!

What a gem!

We went there initially only to kill some time before going to Unity Diner and grabbed some amazing pastries and nut-based cheeses. Went straight back the next day to enjoy an outstanding lunch. You have to try the potato salad. And everything else. We loved everything we had: salads, sandwiches, soup, cashew cheeses, cinnamon buns, an almond croissant, a sausage roll, a cheeze twist, and a Danish rye bread. Oh and the coffee was good, too! The atmosphere was cosy and staff were friendly!

Pros: Totally vegan, Exceptionally tasty savory options, Outstanding pastries

Such a cute cafe

What a lovely little cafe, with such an interesting menu. I had the scrambled tofu, sausage, harrisa mayo and crispy onions on toast and the flavours were amazing, definitely recommend it.
They make a variety of bakery items like cinnamon rolls, almond croissants.
They also sell a range of Scandinavian products, from crisp breads, homemade cashew cheeses, scandi design trays!
I’ll definitely be returning, the service was great, lovely waitress.

The loveliest little cafe in London

Delicious, fresh, unpretentious Swedish food. We couldn't decide on what we wanted so ordered a bit of everything and ate it as a little tapas 😆

The staff are so friendly and kind, and truly passionate about veganism, Scandinavian cuisine, quality and doing everything really well.

They also have a little deli shop so when you can recreate some of the magic at home. We LOVED the quince and peach tea we had and so bought a bag. Honestly, you have to try it it's like a hug in a cup!

I’ve never been to a vegan Swedish cafe before - the food was nice, I had the meatballs. The real star of the show was the traditional cinnamon bun which was absolutely delicious.

scandinavian vegan food

We really enjoyed our visit at Dauns in London. The food is hearty and if you like vegan cheese, this is the spot for you to go. We had the Toastie Deal with the basil toast, scrambled eggs and a hot dog. The dishes were amazing and the owner friendly.

Pros: vegan restaurant, friendly staff, delicious food

Great cinnamon buns

Popped in here on the way home. The owner was very helpful and friendly and took us through the produce they have in the shop & bakery section. We got some half price cinnamon buns (reduce them later in the day I guess) which kept well until the next morning, a sourdough loaf & blueberry jam. Would like to try their open sandwiches. Food was reasonably priced

Delicious, quaint, unique

Very friendly chef, came and chatted to us about the menu which was very helpful! Had one of the toasties - which was delicious- I also highly recommend the ice tea. They obviously followed up on reviews because they gave us very adequately sharp knives for the food! All in all I was super impressed and would definitely come back for more!

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.
