London’s first ever vegan bakery turned 7

by

If you think eating vegan food in London is a relatively new phenomenon that has found popularity over the past two years, you clearly haven’t done your reading.

There have been food providers working hard to showcase plant-based cuisine for a very long time, with one of these businesses recently celebrating a 7th birthday that completely passed me by.

Ms. Cupcake threw open its doors WAY BACK in April 2011, meaning London’s first ever vegan bakery turned seven years old earlier this year.

That is an incredible achievement for any food business and even more impressive for a vegan business that was paving the way for many others to follow. Mellissa Morgan and her Ms. Cupcake brand have become globally recognised and the store front is still there on Coldharbour Lane, Brixton for you to visit 7-days a week.

I am sharing some recent food photos from the bakery with you below, but let’s also get some important links listed on here.

Follow Ms. Cupcake on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook.

Find out about ordering bespoke cakes via the bakery’s website.

New vegan bakery in London

by

The title of this blog post is a little misleading.

VIDA Bakery isn’t new exactly, but they are opening a new bricks and mortar location in London!

VIDA has been around for a few years, serving delicious and adored cakes at pop ups, markets, vegan fairs, and in other vegan food businesses.

The love this company receives across social media from its fans is a great measure of how anticipated this permanent bakery is in the capital.

The bakery is located at 139 Brick Lane and you can see the exact location thanks to Google Maps.

The grand opening is at midday on Sunday June 10, 2018. Get down there for some amazing treats.

Vegan bakery in Kent

by

Dear people of Kent. You have this for which to be grateful.

Vegan Antics started as home bakers back in 2015, shipping treats from their website to all over the UK in order to raise the funds to open up their own 100% vegan bakery in Gravesend, Kent during April 2017.

What do they serve up?

The bakery has loads of options to choose from including cakes, cupcakes, brownies, blondies and shortbreads, as well as extra indulgent dessert options such as waffles & ice cream, sundaes and hot fudge brownies. You can enjoy coffee, tea, ice cream milkshakes, smoothies and sodas.

But it isn’t only the sugar fans that are covered at Vegan Antics.

The bakery is famous in the area for their paninis, including the mega popular Big Breakfast Panini. You can also buy and devour sausage rolls, wraps and croissants.

If you are in Gravesend, Kent you can find the exact location right here via Google Maps. You can also order online.

Follow Vegan Antics on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

Right, let’s look at some photos.

I love when a new season rolls around, not least because of all the new flavours and treats from superstar vegan bakery Ms Cupcake.

The summer menu from Ms Cupcake involves a brand new fruit flapjack and a S’mores cupcake. I’m drooling.

The stunning line up of sweet treats being churned out by the Tender Vegan Bakery team is almost unbearable to follow on their Instagram account. It’s too good.

It’s as though they have taken the concept of decadent vegan cakes and catapulted it into the heavens.

Vegan cake in the country

by

Wanna try and stop the vegan food revolution sweeping the UK? I pity the fool!

There is now a vegan cake and coffee shop in the Yorkshire village of Mytholmroyd in Hebden Bridge!

My Kind of Cake is now serving all manner of sweet bakes including cheesecake, Victoria sponge, coffee & walnut plus so many more. It sounds like cake heaven.

The shop is a 40-minute drive west of Leeds (just past Halifax) so it might feel a little off most radars, but the area is gorgeous and well worth a sightseeing weekend. Keep driving another hour after Hebden Bridge and you’ll find yourself in Manchester, so there is plenty to see and do in that part of the world.

Vegan bakery

Mexico City is intensely invested in vegan food. It is everywhere.

Street food vendors? Pizza shops? Ice cream parlours? Yes, yes and hell to the yes!

Mexico City has all of this and more. I would even boldly suggest the mega-city is up there with the untouchable plant-based locations of Portland, Austin, Berlin and Los Angeles.

Vegan food is such a serious concern here in Mexico City, you can even shop in a 100% vegan and gluten free bakery.

Check out these photos from my visit to Pan Gabriel in the leafy Condesa neighbourhood.
