Reviews Dauns

A perfect vegan Scandinavian experience! The menu has plenty of choices, and the cafe has a super cosy atmosphere. My current favorites are Cinnamon Bun and Kimchi Toastie! The Dill Crisps that they are selling as souvenirs are so good as well. The vegan cheese that the chef used was of high quality; I will definitely buy one next time. and Swedish tea has a lovely smell! I couldn’t believe it was 100% vegan. This is literally happiness <3

DAUNS is the most lovely small Scandinavian Café, in Spitalfields. I used to live in Stockholm, so when I found out that a fully vegan scandi caf had opened in London, I absolutely had to go. Being there took me right back to my time living in Sweden. It just feels quite authentic and homely. So much so that DAUNS has quickly become one of my go-tos for a weekend brunch. I think the pastries were what initially brought me in, and let me tell you, the cinnamon buns and the danishes do not disappoint one bit. It's not always easy finding good vegan pastries, and DAUNS' are so traditionally faithful and just delicious. I get them literally every time I go. But their offering is far more complete than just their lovely pastries. Their open sandwich range is quite broad - from traditional smörrebröd to breakfast-loaded toast (OMG you must try the scrambled tofu one). And of course, the classic Swedish meatballs. They also have a small deli in the shop, so if you want to have a lovely meal and shop for some Julienne Bruno vegan burrata, DAUNS is just the perfect place for you. 🌱 Fully Vegan! 🏅 Overall: 9/10 What I ate: 🥘 Swedish Meatballs 🥪 Scrambled Tofu, Seitan Sausage, and Harissa Mayo on Sourdough Toast 🌟 🥪 Toast Skagen 🥪 Seitan Roast and Danish remoulade on Danish Rye Bread 🍑 Peach Danish 🌟 🍩 Cinnamon Bun ⭐️

Tasty, unique vegan food! I've found Scandanavian cuisine is hard to find in London. This places does open face toasts done to perfection as well as ALL DAY breakfast, lunch/dinner options, alcohol, as well as a massive fridge of vegan cheese to take away?!? Incredible. Affordable pricing as well. 5/5 stars easily and lots of choices and reasons to return.

Overall I had a great time at Dauns, the food was really some of the best vegan cafe foods I've had and I was blown away by the hot dog, I haven't had a decent hot dog since going vegan, never thought hot dogs and mash potatoes could go so well together. Little disappointed that they didn't have any of the croissants available to try but they did offer the quesadilla instead which was amazing. I just felt the interior may need more lighting as it felt too dark.

As a Swede I can confirm that the food is very genuine! It all tastes like my childhood, and I can finally eat it again as it's vegan. I would really recommend trying the smörrebröd and the toasties, I think they are the real gems here. The owner is really welcoming and knowledgeable and the restaurant is very cosy. You can also buy some Swedish snacks or food from the shop in the restaurant.
