Vegan Mexican Treats This Bank Holiday Weekend
London, you are being completely spoiled this Bank Holiday weekend. Not one but two opportunities to shop directly from the fabulous vegan Mexican micro-bakery Pa’l Susto.
This small but mighty operation has carved out a name for itself with iconic conchas, rich tres leches cakes, and the sweetest little besos. They are the first vegan Mexican bakery of their kind in the UK and every time they appear it is exciting news!
Read about the two locations for this weekend below.
My Husband’s Top 5 of London
Do you all know that my husband is not from London?
Gil moved with me to the UK during COVID times and after a brief stint in Sheffield (huge culture shock to go from Mexico City to South Yorkshire in a lockdown!), we moved to London together.
During the past 4 years, I’ve been busy dragging him along to all of the vegan and plant-based establishments the city has to offer and today I’ve asked him to share his top spots with you.
If you wanna know what made his list, keep reading below.
T-shirts for Kids in London
You all know about The Third Estate, right?
The Third Estate is a vegan shoe store and ethical boutique located in Kentish Town. Run by my mates Angela and James, the store is an oasis for compassionate shoppers.
They focus on as much locally-sourced stock as possible and everything is about lessening negative impact on people, animals, and the planet. So many of my shoes and clothes come from this shop.
And now The Third Estate is selling t-shirts for children!

New Menu At London Vegan Smokehouse
If you know LD’s, you know they don’t mess about. These are the culinary heavyweights who’ve been ruling the vegan roost at The Black Heart in Camden for quite a while.
But here’s the thing. Not everyone realises they also run the kitchen at Saint Monday, a laid-back brewery and pub just a short stroll from London Fields.
And now they’ve launched a brand new menu there. It’s smoky, saucy, indulgent, and unapologetically delicious in all the right ways. It’s proper BBQ comfort food with every bite screaming flavour.
See the full menu below:
Bank Holiday Vegan Picnic in London
A bank holiday in London when the weather actually plays along is a special thing.
The city loosens up a bit, the parks start humming with life, and we all collectively pretend we aren’t as stressed as we really are.

IKEA Is A Little Strange For Vegans
Let’s have a chat about the vegan situation at the IKEA restaurant on Oxford Street, London.
First off, hats off to IKEA for offering proper vegan options. Those vegan meatballs are impressive. It’s brilliant seeing such a massive retailer embracing plant-based choices, from the plant balls to the hot dogs and even the soft serve ice cream. It really shows the tides are turning and I’m impressed.
But here’s the annoying part. The whole ordering process is an absolute muddle.

Vegan Pastries in Central London
You’ve seen me rave about Okja in Spitalfields, just a few minutes walk from Liverpool Street and Spitalfields Market.
If you are new here, Okja is a vegan bakery and coffee shop chain with locations in South Africa. A little while back they opened their first-ever UK location on Toynbee Street and people can’t get enough.
The pastries are all hand-crafted inside the bakery and every single item is exquisite… and vegan!
I popped in yesterday to catch up on the latest. Below you can see the photos I grabbed showing some new items and some recently updated items. Sensational.

The Hogless Roast Are Impressing People in Walthamstow
It’s not every day that a vegan fast food spot makes me do a double take over a salad, but here we are.
If you’ve been following along, you’ll remember I wrote a few months back about The Hogless Roast setting up at Crate in Walthamstow. Well, consider this your friendly reminder that they are still there and still turning out some of the most satisfying plant-based food in the area.
