Cream Dream Vegan Pastry Cafe: A Delightful Vegan and Gluten-Free Haven in London

Aesthetically pleasing cafe, it’s so pretty! As a coeliac it’s such a joy to find places like this. Dedicated gluten free and vegan but absolutely delicious! I ate here Tuesday and had the rainbow pancakes and strawberry/ rhubarb lemonade. Highly recommended! Even bought a marzipan tart to take away because it was just so good!

This aesthetically pleasing cafe was set up and is run by Ukrainian women. It has an all-vegan menu and cakes to die for. I had the mango and passionfruit eclair and a macaron, and they were delicious. The cafe has a small seating area downstairs and a larger area upstairs. I love how in the bathroom they provide tampons and other sanitary items, such a brilliant idea.

Gorgeous café! The rainbow pancakes each had a different flavour and was about the most fun thing I’ve eaten as an adult! The chocolate and pumpkin spice ones were my favourite, but all were very nice. I also had the mushroom cocoa with coconut milk which I enjoyed, though be prepared it isn’t sweet (it’s kinda a similar flavour profile to a 90% dark chocolate bar). As with most places in London, it’s a bit pricey. Decore is phenomenal and staff were polite and friendly. A nice place to pass the time, and I appreciate their early opening time!

We had such an incredible experience at Cream Dream on Sunday First of all, it looks absolutely stunning - every single detail is thought out from satin napkins to pink glass straws to the cutest little coffee cups. When we first walked in, we were saying how beautiful the cakes are and the server (got the feeling she's the owner) said "Just like you." We said "Aw thanks but not quite as nice as these", to which she replied, "We don't do that here." Which tbh, I'm doing quite well with the self love side of things atm, and genuinely, you'd have to be a super model to be prettier than those stunning cakes but I still thought it was nice. The food was good, beautifully presented again, lots of Ukrainian dishes on the menu. The bathroom also was beautiful, filled with positive messages. The light was out in the toilet so had to use a torch, which then created rainbows all over the ceiling reflecting on the mirrors. Visiting Cream Dream is so much more than going for a meal, it's an experience - and definitely a good one. We'll be back

Almost everything here was flawless, and the attention to detail is mind-boggling. The poached egg was such a treat for me as a long-term vegan. I can’t wait to try their fried egg! The aubergine rolls were a real highlight, I can’t stop thinking about them. Incredible sour soup too. The potato and mushroom varenyky were perfect. Spinach waffle - delicious. Wow wow wow. The cottage cheese/pea/dill varenyky didn’t have the optimal balance of flavours for me, but the texture of the cheese filling was fantastic and the dish was still overall tasty. The coffee with orange juice/strawberry is a cool concept, but the juice didn’t at all mellow out the coffee, resulting in an intense syrupy sourness. Which some people will really enjoy - not me, though, as a creamy latte lover! The berry lemonade was really tangy (even after mixing), but the strawberry at the bottom was delicious. It was a good drink, but we weren’t wanting something super sour and it was slightly unexpected. The desserts… just wow. I haven’t been able to eat an eclair for about a decade and it was a dream come true. The Kyiv cake is the best cake I’ve ever had in my life, not kidding - and I’m picky! I might honestly come to London again just to eat here. I can’t wait to try everything on their menu. It’s already one of my favourite restaurants of all time. The one problem is, the access ramp is far too steep to actually allow any wheelchair users to enter.

Never thought I’d be able to try Ukrainian food. The cabbage rolls are so damn good! The pastries are quite dainty and floral, like a proper tea room. Overall, super lovely experience and unique. The traditional coffee was not good, just super earthy and bitter so it’s an acquired taste.

I was so curious about their vegan fried eggs but they were delicious. We had full English breakfast and shared an almond and pistachio pastry. Breakfast is served till 2 which is nice. Other hour meals look very interesting and worth a return visit. Good was also not greasy or oily. Staff are wonderful. Everything is vegan. They are pet friendly and proudly support the LGBTQ I community. The bathroom and additional seating is upstairs.

Five stars all round! A delightful fully vegan and mostly gluten free Ukrainian Pastry Cafe on Bedford Street in London. Highly recommend for a delicious meal. They do sweet as well as savoury, a breakfast menu as well as a dinner menu containing some classic Ukrainian dishes. Lovely drinks and cocktail options too. Perfect for any time of day
