London vegan news, reviews & events
If you have a good memory, you might remember when I posted about a fabulous independent business called Take a Bite and Smile.
This 100% vegan bakery business is an Italian dessert specialist with some of the most exquisite baked goods you’ll find in the UK. I’m here today to let you know about a special pop up market where you will be able to pick up their sweet treats in November 2025.

OmNom is a new vegan café and yoga space located in Islington, London.
The café founders have this to say:
Everything we do is focused on journeying together to an enlightened lifestyle through serving your Body, Mind and Soul. OmNom brings you delicious, fresh vegetarian/vegan food that acts like yoga for your belly. As well as this we offer yoga, mindfulness and meditation sessions so you can connect with the real you. As you may have guessed by now, we’re all about giving, and as a Conscious Charity every meal you have at OmNom will feed a meal to a child less fortunate across the globe.
I like the sound of a meal going to a hungry human in exchange for every meal purchased in the café.
Sandi from OmNom clarified further:
Our mechanism is pretty straight forward. With every meal/yoga class that we sell, we will pay for one child to be fed. We work with a number of charities, including Annamrita who serve 1.2 million meals to children across seven Indian states every day.
If you want to see the sort of food being served at OmNom and check out some of their classes, get over to their website now. They have some great opening specials and discounts featured online.

Here is a quick little bite sized chunk of news you can eat.
I’m just about to head back to Mexico City for six months so I gathered my friends in London for a farewell party at The Blacksmith and The Toffeemaker in Islington.
This pub on St John Street is a gorgeous pub that has just switched it’s entire food menu to be 100% vegan.
Check out this short Instagram video I made showing the current menu.
The polenta fries with added cheese were fabulous and I loved the toasted sandwich.
Not all of the alcohol being served is vegan, however they assure me this is being worded on and will be rectified soon.
In the meantime, all of the booze that is vegan suitable is clearly labelled.
