This is a super quick post to tell you about something exciting that was brought to my attention yesterday.

How about a vegan donut shop in Bangor, Wales?

CocoVanille sounds like heaven on Earth.

Get along to this brand new eatery on the High Street for delicious milkshakes, ice cream, smoothies, and donuts.

And please do not forget their local, freshly ground coffee if you are a caffeine fan.

Vegan cake in an Underground station!

Ever find yourself racing to work and wishing you could grab a quick coffee and a slice of vegan cake?

If your commute takes in Piccadilly Circus station in central London, your dreams have been answered.

My pal Kay sent me the following photos from her recent trip through the historic and extremely well-used Underground station. A new compact coffee shop called Sapid has sprung up and one of their tasty treats comes in the form of a vegan carrot cake.

If you are a coffee aficionado, you might very well know Sapid for their Stoke Newington location where they trundle out quite a bit of vegan-friendly food and drink.

You can visit Sapid Coffee online to view the opening hours for both Stoke Newington and Piccadilly Circus.

New vegan wrap

by

This isn’t the most exciting sandwich news you will hear this week, but I do think it is cause to celebrate whenever a massive company decides to use the ‘v’ word so noticeably.

Check out the new falafel and houmous wrap being sold by Caffe Nero around the UK. I spotted this display in their Heathrow Airport Terminal 5 outlet.

It is certainly not going to win any innovation awards, but it is fab seeing ‘vegan’ on display in a chain store with approximately 600 locations around the country.

Have you tried this wrap? What is your verdict?

Extra note: this photo originally appeared on my Instagram feed.

As a frequent traveler, I often rely on coffee shops for beverages, restrooms and internet access. Coffee shops can be your lifeline to friends, a much-needed hiding spot from the world outside or even just a place to replenish your bodily fluids. A coffee shop with vegan options is extremely common in 2011. You can increasingly find soy milk and other dairy alternatives such as almond or rice milk.

Having established that the humble coffee shop can be a sanctuary for the weary, vegan traveler, let’s move on to discuss how it can get better. Yes, I’m referring to a 100% vegan coffee shop. What was once a fanciful dream is now a fabulous reality in Philadelphia.
