Artisan vegan bakery with sourdough, cookies, cinnamon buns & coffee
"Beaten By A Whisker says their cakes and bakes have been designed to be ‘imperceptibly’ vegan, and you only need one bite of their oversized, sticky cinnamon bun to know that they’re completely right. The small-batch bakery in Walthamstow makes delicious loaves of focaccia with big, peek-a-boo air pockets and their dark chocolate and hazelnut cookie—with pools of slightly-melting chocolate and a perfectly crispy outer layer that becomes soft and gooey—is one of the best cookies in London." - jake missing, rianne shlebak, daisy meager, sinead cranna
"Sometimes you want an iced latte to have a bit of complexity and not kick you in the face with coffee. Beaten By A Whisker, a Walthamstow bakery and cafe, does an iced peanut latte that delivers a gentle caffeine hit—it has one shot of coffee. They use the same sweet peanut caramel in their bakes. They also use a light, gently frothed oat milk base that doesn't result in a silly little stomach ache." - rianne shlebak, sinead cranna
"Beaten By A Whisker is a small-batch Walthamstow bakery with an earthy colour palette that makes your morning worthy of photographing. They also make some of the best cookies in London. So grab one of those, but also pre-order their mince pies to pick up too." - sinead cranna
"Cookie of choice: dark chocolate and hazelnut Beaten By A Whisker’s soft, gooey cookie is one that will appeal to chewy-texture people. There’s a little bit of a crust, but really it’s barely there, and only just holding in the seriously rich dark chocolate and pieces of savoury hazelnuts that are in each bite. This Walthamstow bakery’s cookie also had some of the best salt levels—enough to balance the chocolate, but doesn’t make you feel like a snail under attack.

"Beaten By A Whisker, a small-batch bakery, is a proper community spot—one with people chatting in the queue and an earthy colour palette that makes your morning worthy of photographing. Get the oversized cinnamon bun (our favourite flavour is hazelnut) which is so sticky you’ll need to pry it off your plate. The loaves of focaccia are also fantastic, with big, peek-a-boo air pockets and just the right amount of oil. But if you only get one thing at this Walthamstow spot, make it the dark chocolate and hazelnut cookie. It’s one of the best cookies in London, with pools of slightly-melting chocolate and a perfectly crispy outer layer that becomes soft and gooey. Much like us after one mouthful." - Sinéad Cranna
