Vida Bakery 

139 Brick Lane, E1 6SB

Vida Bakery all started when co-founder Dani (coeliac and vegan) struggled to find sweet options, matching her dietary needs.

After research and professional/academic preparation, she managed to create and adapt more than 50 recipes used in traditional baking, according to what she needed at the moment.

The result: moist and delicious free-from cakes. You can order them online or visit their shop on Brick Lane. 

We Are Vegan Everything

11 dispensary Lane, Mare Street, E8 1FT

WAVE is the lovechild of Cupcakes and Shhht which started in 2012. After a few years of trialling out the wonderful world of market stalls and events all over London, they invested in their first permanent location in South East London. Their food offering grew from cakes to burgers, they bought their very first coffee machine and opened their very first cafe. After a couple of years, an opportunity came up where they needed to find a new location which gave them a motivational push to start something new and focus more on the demand for vegan food.

They found our perfect location in Hackney Central and called it WAVE which stands for We Are Vegan Everything. They like to call it a grown-up version of Cupcakes and Shhht. Cupcakes and Shhht still exists, but it is more of a behind the scenes brand.

Cafe Van Gogh

When you're dining at Cafe Van Gogh, you can relax knowing you're not harming the environment. The team aspire to be zero waste, they do not tolerate single-use plastics, and all of their takeaway containers and coffee cups are fully compostable. They recycle their food waste; it's all taken away to be composted rather than sent to landfill.

'Wherever you sit, you’ll be leaving with a big smile, a full stomach and an urge to return as soon as possible – which you definitely should', according to Conde Nast. Couldn't agree more!
