Our pick of the best vegan bakeries in London
Cookies & Scream
Having originally opened in Camden Lock, Cookies and Scream has relocated to north London’s Holloway Road. They have a mouth-watering selection to get stuck into including warm cookies, super moist brownies to over baked pies and doughnuts. Every product is dairy, egg, wheat and gluten free – made from the finest ingredients available. The Oatmeal Hombre packed with gluten-free oats and chocolate chips is a must try.
Ruby’s of London
Rubys of London makes the list for its offering of vegan pastries. Specialising in products free from wheat, gluten and refined sugars, pastry addicts will fall in love with the gluten-free hazelnut banana bread, lemon and blueberry poppyseed layer cake, the classic carrot cake and vanilla, and raspberry and pistachio cupcakes – pure indulgence!
Ms Cupcake
Ms Cupcake has given their cupcakes a spin so that they’re entirely vegan-friendly and totally irresistible. Every product is 100% free from eggs, dairy and animal products. Indulge and enjoy the wonders of a pretzel cupcake featuring a caramel sponge with hidden caramel sauce inside, chocolate and caramel flavour icing topped with a salted pretzel. Or, go for something light and uplifting with the zingy lemon cupcake. Throughout the month, Ms Cupcake is serving exclusive cupcakes in their Brixton store each day. £1 from each sale will go directly to Veganuary, to support all the work they do.
The Hummingbird Bakery
Baked fresh every morning across London, the Humming Bird bakery offers the finest pure and original American cakes and baked treats. Choose from cupcakes, layer cakes, brownies, whoopie pies and an array of desserts that will satisfy your taste buds. Known for its iconic red velvet, rainbow multi-layered sponge cake and artistic and delicious creations, The Humming Bird’s top favourite plant-powered vanilla and red velvet vegan cupcakes are admired by vegans and non-vegans alike.
Cupcakes and Shhht
Cupcakes and Shhht originally launched in Camden Market and has since opened a cafe in Elephant & Castle. The ethos lies in creating natural, honest and 100% vegan desserts. Delicious and decadent goods are freshly baked and decorated and will have you swooning at just one bite. Try any one of their range of cupcakes, brownies or cookie sandwiches. Our favourite is the popular salted chocolate, peanut butter, hazelnut gooey vegan and gluten-free brownie, topped with a flavour of your liking.
