The After School Cookie Club is London’s first plant-based cookie bakery, specialising in crafting freshly baked, gooey, hand-topped cookies. Started back in 2019 from a food stand selling pots of cookie dough, they’ve now expanded to five locations across the city, selling a whole range of cookie-based delights. I’d heard a lot about them over the previous year and made a mental note to give them a try if I either saw them on delivery, at a food festival, or if I walked past one, adventuring around the city. After all, the vegan baked options on a menu normally are pretty lacking, so having somewhere that has a whole range of flavours to pick from? Sign me up!
So, needless to say when on the way back from dinner after work, I passed their Victoria Arcade, I had to pick up some for myself. I opted for the Strawberry & Marshmallow ones for both my boyfriend and I, and safe to say it was love at first bite. Soft, chocolately, and with a little something extra from the freeze-dried strawberries and marshmallow. So while we were wandering around the Kings Cross area, namely towards Coal Drop Yards, as we didn’t want to risk missing a train a week or so later, and spotted they’d got a branch. Well, it was a no-brainer; we were stopping for cookies and ice cream!
