Vegan heaven. I would’ve ordered more to take-away if I could but all of the sandwiches weren’t ready yet by 10am which was a shame. Will definitely be back.

When working in the centre, this is the perfect place to go and grab your daily plant based lunch. Brilliant to have so many vegan options! Been 3 days on the run since discovering it!

This bakery is a nice spot with an outdoor seating area, which is great when the weather is warm. The focaccia sandwiches are good, but they could do with some tweaking on the fillings. If you're looking for a vegan option, you'll love the croissants - they're really tasty.Their iced matcha latte could use some improvement, though. It had clumps of matcha in it, which wasn't great. Still, I'm keen to come back and try more from their lunch menu.The only real downside is that they're closed on weekends, which is a shame because it's a bit of a trek from my office. But all things considered, I'd say it's worth another visit.

Amazing! Had the Danish, cinnamon roll, croissant and pain au chocolate. They were amazing regardless plant based or not. Coffee was very good as well. Definitely would go back.

I really wish I could have given this place 5 stars, as I love the concept of a fully vegan bakery and cafe. Also I have been to Gauthier Soho for the tasting menu and found the food and whole experience exquisite. I have also been to 123v in Fenwicks and had the bottomless sushi with lovely food. I have actually visited the 123v bakery and restaurant a few times and the main thing that lets it down is the coffee. Had a lovely meal a few weeks ago and was hoping to finish it off with a lovely cup of what I would imagine Gauthier quality coffee...instead I was presented with what tasted like the stewed filter coffee you would get from a fast food van on the lay-by of a A road.Back to the cafe. I had some lunch there, and thought I would give the coffee another chance, as I knew that sometimes new places have initial teething problems. Sadly the coffee had not improved, and I noted that it came out of a machine the sort you would get as self service at Witherspoons, as opposed to like a proper espresso coffee maker. The ciabatta sandwich was nothing special for the price. The bread part very thick and didn't have the taste quality of being baked in house. Also the filling was scant and somewhat lacking. My feeling is that I would rather have a regular sandwich made with sliced bread...or maybe the ciabatta needs to be thinner with more oomph.However it's not all bad. The pastries were lovely, especially the almond croissant. The salad bar has a great variety of tasty salads, so no complaints there.So would I go back again? I would go back to buy a takeaway pastry and go and have it with my coffee at another coffee shop. I probably wouldn't buy another sandwich at the price they are currently...would be better off with a meal deal. They would really need to up their sandwich game to convince me to pay gourmet prices.In summary: Keep doing what you are doing with the pastries and salad bar, in fact would be great to have some takeaway freshly baked French bread baguettes etc. But really seriously if you want to retain customers sort the coffee out and rethink the sandwich offerings. I really hope I am not sounding too negative as I really do want to support a vegan business. However for every person leaving constructive criticism there are dozens of others voting with their feet and not returning.

Such a wonderful feeling knowing that every single one of their magnificent beaked products is planet & animal-friendly! The taste is incredible & will impress anyone, who is vegan or not! Keep up the great work team 134V Bakery!

Plenty of room for improvement.The croissant was fantastic! It had flavour, a bit of crunch and it was moist. Serving it on a monstrous dinner plate is a bit strange however.On the other hand, the coffee coming from a push button machine was dreadful. A flat white here resembled an Americano with hot milk. Bo body, no micro-foam and no flavour.Furthermore, my understanding of a bakery comprises a wide range of baked goods. 123V Bakery is a cafe, not a bakery.Fingers crossed it will change as I'd love to see more than the usual viennoiserie and Danishes.

Cute little stop for a vegan sandwich or pastries. Interior is relaxing and great for remote working or just a chilled lunch stop.

Best new lunch place!..and it’s vegan!The salads are delicious and vary daily. I’ve also tried the cakes which are equally delicious. My new favourite is the coronation chicken roll. Hands down the best vegan sandwich I’ve ever had!!

The salad from the salad station is the one! All vegan too! Usually they have 5-6 varieties to choose from (different daily) which you fill yourself in a small or large box. The small box is generous in size. Filling and delicious. Would certainly recommend. They have a large outdoor seating area at the back if you fancy outdoor dining.
