Finding the very best vegan bakeries in London is not that easy.
A lot of bakeries now offer vegan cakes, brownies, cupcakes, cookies, and vegan birthday cakes without any animal products inside.
It seems like finding completely eggless cakes in London has become easier, and that’s all the more important since the vegetarian and vegan population is ever-so-growing.
Heck, even I eat more and more plant-based on a daily basis.
So far, I have only talked about the best vegan doughnuts in London here on The Working Line.
Yet, I’m actually building these little guides for myself as much as for you.
That way, when I want to find dairy-free and eggless cakes in London, all I have to do is come back to the guides I’ve written and choose the perfect little bakery to enjoy decadent little cakes.
That’s why in this guide, I will also talk about some of the best gluten-free bakeries in London, or at least mention when gluten-free cakes are available for purchase.

Best Bakeries in London Offering Vegan Cakes
Best Vegan Bakeries in London: Arapina Bakery
Arapina Bakery, dubbed a ‘healthy lifestyle bakery’, offers some of the most delicious vegan cakes in London in Greenwich.
It is not a completely vegan bakery, but it does offer lots of vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free cakes so it caters a bit to everyone who would like to follow a healthier way of living.
On the menu, are amazing vegan croissants, salted caramel cookies, fruit tarts, and even gluten-free and vegan macarons.

It’s good to note that most of the vegan cakes are also gluten-free, making Arapina Bakery one of the coolest vegan bakeries in London for whoever has these specific dietary needs.
The Italian names of the cakes are pretty fun, too.

Vegan Doughnuts in London: Crosstown Doughnuts
I have mentioned Crosstown Doughnuts in my guide to the best vegan doughnuts in London; their vegan sourdough doughnuts are something out of a dream.
The first time I ever ate at Crosstown Doughnuts was a lime and coconut vegan doughnut if I remember well, and I thought it was absolutely perfect.
I actually didn’t know I was eating a vegan doughnut, to be honest.
Crosstown Doughnuts has vegan doughnuts available in all of their branches, and while they’re not all vegan, they have a fully plant-based shop in Marylebone, where all of the doughnuts are vegan.
Maybe that’s not a bakery as you’d understand it, with the cute little vegan cupcakes and wooden decor.
However, that place makes some of the best vegan doughnuts in London, and it deserves to be mentioned for the seasonal doughnuts as well.

Vegan Cakes in London: Hummingbird Bakery
The Hummingbird Bakery is probably one of the only vegan bakeries in London that I’ll mention here today, that is not completely vegan.
However, they do have a lot of amazing vegan cupcakes that range from vanilla to red velvet, chocolate, and lots of amazing vegan birthday cakes as well.
The Hummingbird Bakery has a few branches across London; the ones I’m accustomed to are situated on Portobello Road, near all the best cafes to work in Notting Hill, and Old Spitalfields Market.
Utterly cute with their pinkish brown decor, The Hummingbird Bakery’s vegan cakes taste delicious even with their eggless and dairy-free recipes. A must-try in London.

Vegan Cupcakes in London: Lola’s Cupcakes
Lola’s Cupcakes, like Crosstown Doughnuts and the Hummingbird Bakery, is not a completely vegan bakery in London, but their collection of vegan cupcakes is otherworldly.
I have tried both the non-vegan and vegan doughnuts at Lola’s Cupcakes, and they’re both delicious; you can barely taste the difference.
The upside of Lola’s Cupcakes is that they have branches all over London, from Covent Garden to King’s Cross, Selfridges, and even Canary Wharf.
The first time I ever ate something from Lola’s Cupcakes was from their cart at London Bridge, close to the Pret a Manger I love so much.
There are fewer options at London Bridge for those looking for vegan cupcakes, that’s true, but they’re still freshly made and stunningly colorful.
From Red Velvet to Fudge and Lemon Raspberry, Lola’s Cupcakes probably offers more vegan cupcakes in London than any other bakery.
Also, if you’re looking for gluten-free cakes and vegan birthday cakes, they have a lot on offer, and they’re all more beautiful than the previous ones.

The flavors at Heart of Cake are really different from those you would find in lots of vegan bakeries in London.

Like Heart of Cake in Stoke Newington, Kake Kwerk is a vegan cake delivery in London, so you can’t eat in, but for office parties and occasions, that’s definitely one of the bakeries to have in mind.
