I work in Hackney just down the road from Shoreditch High Street so every so often myself and my friends will go exploring at lunch time. As I am having a vegan week my friend told me she knew of a place selling amazing vegan cakes that we should try. I didn't need telling twice as I would go for vegan treats any day of the week. In my experience the places that make vegan/ raw desserts are absolutely delicious and they usually rely on natural, sin-free ingredients so it's an indulgence without the guilt!
So today we went to Celestine Eleven on Hollywell Lane in Shoreditch. This place is a clothes shop come wellness centre and it's such a dream concept. There's magazines to read, cakes to eat, a seating area and best of all, we were greeted by this little guy...
So back to the cakes and the reason I am writing this post. Over the summer they hosted a pop up food shop called Well and Happy which is where we got our amazing cakes. They will be finishing their stint at the shop at the end of the week so get yourselves down there! I chose the millionaire shortbread and a carrot cupcake, whilst they were both lovely the shortbread is an absolute dream. My friend warned me it was rich and I would only be able to eat half but I was left wishing I had more and more as it was so yummy!

They use raw ingredients in their cakes and are completely vegan friendly. They also had salads on offer and free falafel tasting at the door!
Well and Happy also added some cute details to the shop, such as a large jar of crystal infused water that you can help yourself to. They also have little cards with inspiring quotes on the back for customers.
Celestine Eleven has some lovely décor of its own. I looked on their webpage and they offer yoga classes and other wellness treatments at the shop. Although I'll be eagerly waiting to find out where Well and Happy next pop up I'm also interested to see what else Celestine Eleven has to offer as it is definitely somewhere I will be returning to.
