To great to go

Got a to good to go back at 18:30 full of swirls and a Pain au chocolat (6 items in total) whilst travelling through London. Very tasty, not as brilliant as I remember the swirl I had being the first time I was introduced to the one by unity diner. However the pastries are still genius particularly when you get 6 for £6.09. 🤩

Pros: Good value: to good to go bag, Surrounded by transport options

Cons: Not fully vegan :(

Great selection

Great chai, and great selection of pastries and sweet treats. Staff were helpful too. We had the cheese and pesto swirl and the citrus pistachio swirl which were both delicious. All drinks are automatically given with oat milk, although they do now offer dairy milk hence 4 stars.

Nice place

Very friendly staff.

The cookie was nice, quite gooey almost like a brownie. Coffee was luke warm.

No many options but we came later in the day and where told that they where expecting a delivery soon.

They do offer cows milk but the standard is oat milk.

Welcome sight

What a joy to discover they opened a City branch which is even closer to me. The laminated pastries as wonderful, I wish they did bagels like the Cape Town original used to.

Great pastries

I had the chocolate swirl pastry which was fairly hefty in size, and very filling. At £4.50 it wasn't cheap, but nothing is anymore.

Huge and crispy pastries

Their pastries are huge and all vegan 🤩 I tried the lemon poppy seed : inside it is super buttery and soft, while the outside is super crispy. Loved the contrast! The price is honest considering the size!

An absolute must!

I always go here in London. The texture of these pastries is divine. The lemon and pistachio one in particular I can highly recommend!

Amazing pastries

Some of the best pastries around. Disappointing that - on my last visit - "regular milk" now means 'dairy'.

super tasty

It was hard to decide what to go for as everything looked delicious. I went for the almond swirl which was absolutely brilliant. I also had a delicious matcha. I HAVE to go back next time I'm in London.

Super yummy

My friend had a morning starlight roll and I had the cheese and pesto one- they were both so good < 3
I feel like the soy milk is a bit watery- it didn’t mix that well with my coffee and left it very flakey, but the taste was still fine.

Updated from previous review on 2026-06-29

Pros: friendly and helpful staff, the tasty goodness, cool design

Cons: the soy milk
