Amazing value, delicious food

Went here with my parents for breakfast during the week. We had the scrambled tofu and the almond croissant, both of which were delicious. I was amazed by how cheap the food was- I haven’t seen prices like this anywhere else in London. Our scrambled tofu cost £7, everything was homemade and it was a filling meal. The owner/chef was running the place by himself with expertise- he was taking orders, clearing tables, and cooking food all at the same time with a smile on his face! I would definitely come back here to try some other dishes. Love the selection of unusual vegan cheese on sale too.

Pros: Amazing value, Delicious food, Lovely staff

So great!

We went for the Easter set menu and loved it! The food was a three course set menu for £26; all delicious but the cheesecake the real standout. There’s also a really good drinks selection including lots of alcohol-free, great service, friendly vibes and a big selection of vegan deli food to take home too. Will come again😄

Something different!

I love Daun's. It's awesome to be able to try a veganized version of the Scandinavian cuisine. Very unique and unlike other cafes. All of their food is very tasty. They use a lot of locally made vegan cheeses and meats. Their pastries are also to die for! Love their danishes and cinnamon buns!

Good meals!

Went for Sunday roast, but it wasn’t available - going forward, it may be a once-a-month thing. Instead, I had the meatballs meal (the smaller of two sizes), with traditional Swedish-style creamy gravy and lingonberries, plus tasty whipped potatoes and “meatballs” (made from soy and pea protein = gluten-free), a spoonful of sautéed onion and a few slices of pickle. Delicious meal. I brought home a good, chocolate-chip cookie. I really want to try one of the toasties, and the cinnamon buns look great. There’s also a Saturday brunch menu. Best to make a reservation.
There are food and gift items available for purchase.

Pros: all vegan

Went for Valentine's Special

Went for an evening event for Valentine's Day, 4 courses and wine were reasonably priced. Tasty and rich food. Nice little shop in the back.

Went back for coffee and a pasty. Was also delicious! They do £6 weekday deal.

Affordable and delicious

Delicious vegan versions of Scandinavian comfort food (and more). Frequently rotating specials. Perfect spot for lunch. Get lots of small dishes to share (especially the potato salad)!

Really yummy

I loved this place, it’s small and cosy however it’s so central. It makes a change from the usual vegan places it’s something a little more authentic and I found the food very yummy.

Very Good if a tad forgetful!

I met up with an old friend at Dauns and was so engrossed in 'catching up' that I completely forgot to take any photos, so you'll have to take my word for the descriptions. First of let me say Dauns was super friendly and has an interesting if not extensive menu. The downside was that two of the things we ordered were forgotten (by different members of staff!!) and the supposedly 'large' meal was anything but (and that was the opinion of my weight watching friend not just greedy ol' moi!)
The Swedish meatballs were good but the plate as a main meal lacked volume. The tofuish wasn't very fishy but it was tasty. It would seem the menu changes every now and then and thats good because the one we had was rather bread heavy. Having said all that we both enjoyed the meal had a good time and will return, if only to try their "hoovers"...if you don't know you should go there and find out!

Pros: All vegan scandi inspired menu., Friendly staff, Not too busy in the afternoon.

Cons: Some portions a bit small., Forgetful order taking!

Lovely place

Really enjoyed my meal of a selection smorrebrod that I shared with a friend. The chef took the time to explain to us what we were eating. They also sell pastries (the almond croissant is really good), cheeses and other Scandinavian products.

Lovely Scandi Eatery

This is a lovely Scandi eatery around Petticoat lane. With vegan eateries popping up around, this area will soon be booming again. I had a trio taster of open sandwiches, which I really enjoyed. The owner was lovely and provided a good insight into the food. Relaxed vibe and would definitely visit again. Everything is plant based so no questions from me. 😊

Pros: Everything vegan , Tasty and different , Friendly service
