Delicious vegan pastries !! - Edit
Okja did not disappoint - the pastries were incredible, and we ended up going twice on our trip to London!! Definitely check it out, everything we ate was amazing. My favourites were the vanilla bean croissant and pesto and cheeze swirl 😍

Tasty vegan delights - Edit
It’s a walk-in bakery. There is a large bench outside. I came here on my birthday and brought cakes to share with my friends. I had the Chocolate hazelnut swirl and matcha latte. The pastry was fresh, moist and very tasty. Fantastic vegan bakery. Thank you

Nice pastries. - Edit
Nice pastries, some with unique flavors like the PB&J. I wouldn't go out of my way to come back unless I was in the area again.

Nice flavour, but... - Edit
Unfortunately no seating, and the paper bag I got for the pastry was so small I wasn't able to close it properly. When I got back to my hotel shortly after buying it, the pastry had nice flavours, but was a bit on the dry side. Also, it could have been more «flaky», and less tough to pull apart. A pity, I had really been looking forward to it...

Delicious baked treats - Edit
We got four things between the two of us.
Read moreI got a citrus pistachio swirl, and a pesto and cheese bun. The swirl was delicious, soft on the inside with good crispiness on the outside. There was plenty of good flavour from the cream. It was sticky, messy and great. The pesto cheese bun had good textures with a good amount of cheese but very little pesto.
My partner got a chocolate hazelnut swirl and a morning bun. This swirl was great too with plenty of tasty chocolate hazelnut butter. The morning bun was like the others, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside filled with cinnamon, cardamom and orange zest. This was delicious too with lots of flavour from the spicing.
We also got a takeaway coffee and hot chocolate and these were good. There's no seating inside so we ate everything on one of the handful of seats they have outside the shop.

Okja bakery - Edit
Beautiful and delicious pastries! I wish I lived nearby or they could deliver to my address. Would love if they had a seating area where you could enjoy both the pastries and the drinks. Highly recommend!

Amazing pastries - Edit
Pastries have always been my favourite sweet food and since becoming vegan, it's been hard to find alternatives that hit the spot. The pastries at Okja are wonderful, super buttery like the animal-based version, but even better than how I remember them to be!

Very cute small Bakery - Edit
The pistachio lemon scroll was delicious. I especially enjoyed being able to watch the bakers at work through the glass wall—it was great to see the pastries being freshly prepared right in front of us.

Missing filing - Edit
Pistachio lemon scroll was lovely, but a savoury pastry was completely hollow inside with just a reddish, oily smear at the bottom. Especially disappointing as it was not cheap.

The best cookie we've ever had - Edit
We went to Okja late in the day, about 30 mins before closing, so understandably they only had a few items left. We bought the pistachio scroll, the hazelnut scroll, and the cookie. All the items were dreamy, especially the cookie!
Read moreNo seating inside, but there is a bench outside.
Highly recommend 💚

Some of the best pastries I’ve ever had - Edit
Okja is a cute little bakery with seriously delicious pastries—possibly the best I’ve ever had. We tried the pain au chocolat and a pistachio-hazelnut bun (or something like that), and the latter was absolutely incredible. You have to try it.
Read moreHonestly, I can’t praise this place enough. It wasn’t too expensive either, and the coffee was quite good. 100% recommend.
