This is a vegan boutique, food, clothes, groceries, etc. You need a new category Unilocal…

Very cool little shop with vegan groceries and some vegan merch. They have a lot of cool buttons, cups, shirts and totebags with funny prints. All are vegan-themed. I would recommend every vegan to drop by this cute shop when you are in London. They have also some snacks behind the desk, which I didn’t taste when I were there. So I can’t say something about this.

Fab little shop tucked away behind King’s Cross station! Well worth the visit :)

Great little vegan shop near Kings Cross. Vegan grocery items, baked goods, clothes, accessories, and made to order food! Several specialty vegan items that are difficult to find anywhere else. I highly recommend the wagon wheels and éclair! Delicious. I also bought a few coconut milk coffees from here which were really nice. American Express accepted. This shop only loses one star because of the service. Punk German girl with green hair was obnoxiously rude. I was really friendly and patient, and she acted like me being there was bothering her. I even told her to «have a nice day!» as I left, and she replied«I probably won’t.» Chill, lady!

Équipe très accueillante et très chaleureuse… J’ai pu y trouver des bouteilles de club mate.

I have to admit I haven’t been to a lot of exclusively vegan shops in London, but I have done some research and Vegan Boutique has at least, pretty fair prices. Find vegan clothing, hot food and baked goods(yummy) and lots of fake meat and vegan fake cheese. Bought a few things and even though it is not cheap, I was more than happy considering the size and what I got. High five to you guys for having gluten(so you can make your own seitan!!!) Will definitely come back for more things and probably try some of their baked goodies :)

VX has vegan products you’re 1) not going to find anywhere else in London(or even the UK) and 2) you won’t find the range that it supplies. It’s smaller than you think it would be, but it packs a punch! Imported goods, a refrigerator of «meats» and«cheeses», clothing and accessories and don’t forget the hot deli counter! A small selection of changing daily paninis, not dogs, etc. There is also a bakery case of pastries and cakes made from different London vegan companies. I would love to see them in a bigger space like an actual grocery store one day. The vibe is a bit skate shop/tattoo shop/hardcore, which I think can be off putting for some people. Don’t be scared of the staff either They’re happy to chat with you and crack jokes! If you are visiting London, this should definitely be on your vegan/vegetarian pilgrimage list!

I have to say that I’m surprised by the reviews saying that the staff are unfriendly because I found them to be extremely friendly and helpful. They also had a nice selection of goods — I bought some tasty sausages, sandwich fillers, Vego(amazing hazelnut chocolate!), and some Will’s brogue boots. I will definitely be returning :)

Vx is fast-becoming the go to place in London for fun and hard to find vegan groceries. Seriously. You want countless varieties of vegan cheese or chorizo? Vx, baby. A toasted sandwich or a slice of decadent cake? Yep, Vx. Need meat substitutes, egg replacer, vegan ice cream, cookies, chocolate, pastries filled with vegan cream, t-shirts, shoes, wallets, stickers or lip balm? Vx. As of February 2014, the store is 3 years old making it a mainstay on the London vegan scene. Get in and see what all the plant-based fuss is about.

What a treasure for the traveling VEGAN! Great morning pastries — to DIE for. Definitely worth the time to stock up on treats or gifts to bring home to your vegan mates. Staff was hipster funny. There you have it.

I wanted to like this place a bunch, but the staff I encountered on the two visits during my trip were disappointingly unfriendly and unreceptive to our excitement. In any event, they had a nice selection of snacky items, refrigerated and frozen noshes, as well as a takeaway case. Add to that shoes, clothes, accessories, and miscellaney… and it’s definitely worth a visit.

Friendly staff. Great stock. Reasonably priced. All you really need are the Primal Jerky Strips, Wheaty Chorizo/Trios(vegan Oreos) and Ms Cupcake cakes/pastries etc, though! Recommend for all vegans!

as i walked into this cute lil shop with a freshly purchased brick of cheese and big slab of salami stinking up the pure vegan air, i felt compelled to blurt out that i wasn’t a vegan and i asked the man behind the counter(who i think said he was the owner?) if it was okay if i shopped around anyways. luckily he said yes and didn’t mind my offensive meat/cheese smell, which i tried to subtly stuff into my purse. nice guy or savvy business man, i liked him either way for allowing me to stay i didn’t buy much here, but what i did buy was actually amazing. the chocolate vegan ice cream was so rich and creamy and has changed my friend(who can’t eat milk without getting the shits) life for the better. she keeps asking me to come back and get her more because she’s obsessed already. also the fererro cupcake was fingaaa licking good. the cake was a little dry, but the icing was soooo fucking tasty, all was forgiven. as a non-vegan, i truly appreciate this place. imagine if i was a vegan? i’d be even more obsessed!

I like what this is trying to be– a lot, I really really do! But their baked goods always leave me thinking, «I can make this, and I can make it BETTER.» Why do vegan bakers in this country not know how to make decent, moist and flavourful desserts? Yes, I’m vegan. I bake, and what I make doesn’t taste, feel or look any different from non-vegan desserts. Even with that said, this shop is still OBSESSED with sweets. I don’t mean that in a good way. I think it’s great to have a shop like this, but there’s something about it that almost seems really clique-y and exclusive. I can’t explain it, but even as a vegan, I sort of feel like it doesn’t reach out to people beyond the vegan community, and that makes me really uncomfortable. I don’t want to be a part of a «secret society» that excludes people who might be open to trying it. I would suggest that they carry more things that are hard to find here. Like more eco-friendly, vegan clothing, gloves, winter boots/clothing — things that people NEEDTO try on or look at to buy. Toiletries, cosmetics, etc. But they do make some mean hot drinks! I’ll still go back, hoping it gets better…

As a vegan I was really excited to hear about this vegan larder/café near Kings Cross(note: the move from Camden). The place is divided into to two: an upstairs shop, where you can buy anything from veggie sausages, books, shoes, or even vegan dog food; and a downstairs café. Sounds great huh? But the problem is that the upstairs has a insanely limited selection of everything. The food stuff you can buy you can buy at countless foodstores across London(tofu is not hard to source in this fair city!). The other selections, whether they be books or shoes or t-shirts or whatever are also so limited to be almost useless(the only item I thought might be useful was the vegan dogfood). The«café» downstairs is a joke. It’s a smallish carpeted room. The tea, was a tea bag in a disposable cup(what’s with vegans not being environmentalists and environmentalists not being vegan anyway??) and just not that nice. The vegan cake a little stale. The café and foodstore were both too expensive. Bottom-line: A good vegan café/store would do really well in London. This isn’t the place unfortunately.

Smaller than I anticipated but they still had a decent selection of vegan items. Wish I lived nearby, it sure would make getting vegan cat food easier! I bought a non-leather belt and delicious raw vegan truffles. The gentleman at the counter was helpful and friendly. Lucky London to have such a place.
