Good choice of healthy dishes

Just opened 3 weeks ago, in a shipping container on the first floor of BoxPark London (all the shops there are shipping containers). I would say it was an Asian-influenced eatery with some raw and some Ital dishes all 100% vegan mainly stir-fried bowls. A few low tables and a side bar if you want to eat in. I took out. There is lots of choice, 10 dishes, all vegan, e.g. "Raw Bowl" (raw veggies, fruit and cauliflower rice), "Le Garden" (sauteed greens and herbs, choice of tofu or "chikn"), "Yoga Bowl" (chickpea and sweet potato curry), "Full English" (tofu scramble, mushrooms, tomatoes, vegan sausages and a "cuppa tea"...Friendly staff too and I got introduced to the owner ;) I went for the "Hard Bowl" (yam, dumplings, plantain, ackee and rice) plus a green juice (drinks change daily apparently) for £10. Both were very tasty and filling.

Pros: Great tasting dishes, Friendly staff, Good Value

Cons: Walking past non-vegan places 2 get ther

A great addition to Vegan London

I saw a very enthusiastic respected reviewer tweet https://twitter.com/fatgayvegan/status/606768776428822528 describing this as "the best vegan food I've ever been served in London" so had to check it out and so far not disappointed. It's great Chef King is taking Vegan food to the in-crowd, trendy BoxPark; it was lovely to hear an enthusiastic customer chowing down with his partner, asking, 'So what is Vegan?' ! Also lovely to know that King was formerly "the Steak Master" went veggie after coming to the London Buddhist Centre www.lbc.org.uk and is now the Vegan Chef. Result all round!

Pros: Friendly, Good range of V tasty food (see menu pic), Totally Fresh Cooked

Cons: Serve till they run out - don't miss out

Good food but......

The choices are clear and good, the food is pretty good, we had four different dishes and most of us were content but no-one was super impressed. The fresh juice was nice.
But the whole experience was ruined by the awful and loud "pop" music being forced upon us in the eating area of the Boxpark. We tried getting the people in the office to turn it down, we considered climbing up and unplugging the speakers but we ended up leaving early instead.
I would suggest getting food and eating elsewhere but for a good eating out experience go elsewhere.

Pros: Good inexpensive food., Limited range, No puddings!

Cons: Awful atmosphere noisy and hipster!, Meat dishes on sale in shared space.

Tangy and tasty

Cook Daily is a friendly cafe located in Box Park in Shoreditch. There is plenty of choice and I highly recommend the udon noodles with a smoothie as the £11 meal deal. Definitely worth a trip.

It's good.

Honestly this place is great. Better than Cook Daily in my opinion. I tried to hate it I really did, because let's be honest, **** boxpark, but I just couldn't. It's delicious.

Pros: Pad Thai, Spicy, Sweet and Sour, Toasted coconut water

Cons: Boxpark, Annoying game sound repeating forever, Nothing

A Home Run

Tucked away in BoxPark (it's in the middle of the top floor, box 50-something), this is a great Laotian place - quick service, good portion sizes, and really delicious flavours.

Has a good effort at faux duck, not awe-inspiring but worth a try. Only slight downside is the lack of space: it's more of a lunch than a dinner place.

Pros: Good food, Quick service, Wide range of options

Cons: No space to sit

Great flavours, plenty of choice

Love the food here, some of the best I have had as a vegan. Would recommend the High Grade and Pad Thai especially.
Last time we went they were only accepting cash, so be prepared.

Pros: Good variety, Speedy service, Delicious vegan

Cons: It's in Boxpark, so can get cold. But so what?

Big portions, great flavours - all vegan!

This is a great place in a nice venue right next to East Croydon train station. Unlike many places offering vegan options in Boxpark Croydon for the same price, Cook Daily dish up good sized portions.

There is a large array of different dishes to choose from and all I've tried so far are very tasty.

You can choose between just veggies or with veggies and tofu or with veggies and vegan chickn, a few have a prawn option too. And you can add spring rolls or plantain to your order.

Most are served over brown rice but a few also have a noodle option.

They have a loyalty card.

In Boxpark there are communal tables so you can be out with a crowd ordering food from other places. You can get alcoholic drinks in the bar (including Blue Moon on draught) or vegan wine at Wine & Deli (also serving vegan chocolate cake). Unlike Shoreditch the Boxpark at Croydon has a roof so doesn't matter what the weather is. There are heaters for when the weather is cold. They often have live music and other events going on in the main space or bar area.

Regular Go-To

I started eating at Home before I became a vegetarian and I would always pick a meal at Home over any meat dish available in Boxpark.
All the meals are vegan so you don't have to worry about checking each ingredient in the dishes. The flavour of the food is definitely not affected by the lack of meat and I would definitely recommend this. Every meal I've eaten at Home has always hit the spot!

Pros: Great tasting food

Best vegan food in London

I visited CookDaily in Boxpark Shoreditch about two months ago and I still miss the delicious food. I'm not overreacting if I say this is some of the best food I've ever had in my life. I went with the Hard Bowl because I wanted to try some of the exotic ingredients in the dish (ackee, plantain, yam..) and oh my, I'm super glad I did! The brown rice was cooked perfectly, covered with the thyme-scotch bonnet sauce, with all the vegetables (and fruits) on top. And the dumplings!. The flavours went together so well! I also had an AMAZING banana cinnamon smoothie, which came as cheaper when bought with one of the bowls. It was more of a dessert than a smoothie as it was quite thick, so it was super filling too! The little wait (about 10-15 minutes during lunch time) was so worth it, size of the dish was large and the service was quick. I loved simply everything about CookDaily and I can't wait to come back and try new foods!

Pros: the flavours and combinations are incredible, quick , huge portions

Cons: a bit expensive
