I’m jumping onto the blog today to tell you about two exclusive vegan Easter treats being served in London THIS weekend ONLY.
I’ve shouted a few times about Okja, the South African-founded business that specialises in exquisite baked vegan goods. Everything is handcrafted on site, including the vegan butter and milk used in the creations.
This weekend you can visit the London bakery for a very special Easter treat.
Okja has the Easter Nest. This limited edition bake is made up of a flaky and chewy croissant-style pastry scroll filled with custard, chocolate, and mini eggs.
I ate one of these this morning and it comes highly recommended! Only 20 are being baked each day so get in early.
See the exact location of Okja London thanks to Google Maps and follow the bakery on Instagram.
My second Easter recommendations is less than a 30-second walk from Okja.
Head around the corner to Unity Diner on Wentworth Street this weekend to order this sensational hot cross bun ice cream sandwich! I know this sounds unnecessarily decadent, but sometimes we need to take things too far.
The hot cross bun is filled with vanilla ice cream and the entire things is drizzled with butterscotch sauce.
The restaurant is also serving carvery on Sunday and Monday, so you shouldn’t need any more convincing to get down there.

Extra note:
If this isn’t quite enough vegan Easter goodness for you, you can also join me for an Easter Sunday afternoon supper club near Old Street. Limited tickets remain for this cosy 3-course meal and it would be wonderful to have you at the table. Come alone or with a group. Click here to book.
