Ever since I heard Ella was opening a Deli I knew I had to visit and finally during a recent weekend getaway I did!
The Deliciously Ella Weighhouse Deli sure didn't disappoint and bet all my expectations. The food was absouelty incredible and really showcased the ingredients as their own. The deli itself is small (there is seating down stairs), but very welcoming with soft timber and blues tiles. For more details on what I ate, checkout my London in 48 Hours blog post. 29th March 2018

Crosstown Doughnuts is the King for suppling doughnuts across London with locations all of the city. They offer very enticing flavour options and some vegan varieties too. However, up until recently they opened an entirely vegan store just off Oxford Street (and only a stone throw away from Deliciously Ella's Weighhouse Deli).
~ After standing by their display window for sometime I gave in to my natural instincts and went for the Peanut Butter Berry. (Anything peanut butter flavoured I'm there!) My doughnut was everything a doughnut should be; light without being doughy, not too oily and more importantly delicious. Crosstown Doughnuts really are amazing and I highly recommend if your looking for a sweet treat. 29th March 2018 |
Restaurant chain Wagamama is somewhat and icon for high quality Asian fast food. On every occasion I've visited London I alway eat at Wagamama as it's conveniently located near Wholefoods, Kensington High Street.
Most recent visit had somewhat more interest, as they now have a vegan menu. They had vegan options before, but have expanded and is now found on one page. This time I chose their new vegan Ramen, which was very tasty but, a little oily for my liking and tends to be the case with Asian cuisine. Would I recommend Wagamama? It is very good, but I think my taste buds have changed and I would rather Deliciously Ella any day. 29th March 2018 |

Let's begin by saying, I love Pret.
Every time I walk into one of their stores I know there's plenty of vegan, plant-based options to choose from- porridge, sandwiches, baguettes, soup, salad, juices, coffee, sweet treats, Pret caters for everyone! Regardless of them knowing the market and what people want, the food is aways delicious and made fresh daily. Pret also serves great coffee, and that's coming from someone who's a "self proclaimed coffee snob". I particularly like a small latte, 1/2 filled (I find their cups to be massive compared to Aus) with their rice and coconut milk. Yum! 22nd February, 2019 
by CHLOE. is a fast food restaurant, but "healthy" with the company's ethos serving "nourishing meals made from whole ingredients that can have a positive impact on their overall mind, body and health."
With classic dishes found on typical fast food menu's, burgers, fries & milk shakes, they also serve caesar salad, mac n' cheese, and a BLT sandwich, 100% plant-based of course. I played it pretty safe with my meal, as I wanted to get the full representation of the company and what they're most famous for (I may of had an excessive Instagram stork before eating here...). I chose their Classic Burger, tempeh-lentil- chia- walnut patty, pickles, onion, beet ketchup, special sauce, potato bun, Mac n' Cheese, sweet potato-cashew cheese sauce, shiitake bacon and a choc-chip cookie. The burger was a little underwhelming and tasted rather bland, I ended up adding chipotle mayo and more beetroot ketchup to give it flavour. The Mac n' Cheese however regained the meal, with the comforts of pasta covered in a cheesy creamy sauce. The shiitake (mushroom) bacon definitely made a statement and I'd be happy to pay the extra pound to add more. I finished the meal off with a choc-chip cookie, that tasted like your mum's homemade cookie, ladened with butter and sugar. I can never say no to a cookie. On my next visit to by CHLOE. I'd like to try their Quinoa Taco Salad, Air fried Sweet Potato Chips and I wouldn't mind another serve of their Mac n' Cheese, is that too much?! ;) 26th March, 2019 |

As it's location suggests, Death By Pizza is a market vender with permanent hours, Wed- Sun 12:00- 22:00.
Despite the venue being a shack, boy can the guy's pump out the pizza with Deliveroo, Just Eat & Uber Eats options available. Death By Pizza pride themselves in making fresh dough, which are adorned with vegan toppings. The pizza's are then cooked in their authentic pizza oven. (it's amazing they can even fit one in!) I choose 1/2 Filthy Weekend~ Ham (Seitan), pineapple, vegan mozzarella, marinara sauce, and spring onions and the other, Dead Barbie~ Chicken (seitan). vegan mozzarella, bbq sauce and green onions. Both of these flavour combos are rather nostalgic and my pizza go-to's when growing up. The base of the pizza was soft and crispy, just the way I like it, however I felt the toppings lacked and where slightly stingy, maybe because vegan cheese & meats can be expensive. After eating the pizza I realised I'm not a huge faux meat fan and would of maybe enjoyed a bbq jackfruit topping than seitan "chicken". 20th June, 2019 |

Dáppa's ice-cream is made from a based of almonds & cashews, making it dairy free, vegan and hella creamy.
On the day there where 4 options to choose from and of course I went for Peanut Butter Bad Boy- Madagascan vanilla soft serve, single origin peanut butter, house-made chocolate fudge sauce and crushed peanut pieces, served in a black sesame cone. OMG, I'm not one to generally go for ice cream, but this was perfect and from what I remember even better than the diary version. The balance of flavours where simply on point and let's face it, probably some of the best ice cream I've ever eaten. If you happen to see Dáppa, buy one, no questions asked. 20th June 2019
