Dauns is a much-loved Scandi vegan cafe in London. Their brunch plates are legendary and the regular clientele couldn’t be convinced to go anywhere else for their daily coffee and pastries.
The brains and muscle behind Dauns is Rickard. He cooks. He cleans. He does all the behind the scenes magic to make Dauns work.
But did you know Rickard is also a member of a band which is about to celebrate its 20th anniversary with a gig in North London this May?

I’ve been vegan for over two and a half decades and one comment I am completely worn out by is, “I would be vegan but I could never give up cheese’.
While that might have been more believable back when I became vegan (didn’t stop me though!), in 2026 there are so many delicious vegan alternatives that giving up cheese doesn’t feel like a hard ask anymore.
And if you want to convince someone just how incredible vegan cheese can be, send them this vegan cheese starter bundle from online grocery store Saporia.
WAVE is a much-loved vegan cafe in Hackney Central.
News has filtered through this week of the eatery undergoing a freshen up not only in terms of how it looks, but how they are going to strengthen their offerings and remain a vibrant independent business.
