Lockdown-born East London cafe making its vegan and gluten-free cakes in-house.

The first shop opened at New Inn Yard in Shoreditch in August 2020. A second followed on Brick Lane less than two years later, and the New Inn Yard shop has since closed.

Focaccia comes daily from local artisan bakeries, and the brand worked with the artist Kev Munday.

At this shop

On Brick Lane, the shop occupies a corner unit whose green-tiled base and black timber frame are layered several stickers deep. Inside, a white-tiled counter curves under an illuminated OAT sign, and a worn chequerboard floor runs back to a cartoon mural covering the far wall.
