Get your plant-based sweet treats at Okja’s newest site in Liverpool Street

Following the success of its first bakery, Okja recently opened the doors to its second location on Liverpool Street, marking the next chapter for the fast-growing bakery that's redefining what plant-based baking can be.

Designed for busy Londoners who refuse to compromise on quality, Okja is an all-day bakery serving exceptional pastries, specialty coffee and a menu of innovative drinks that feel as distinctive as the bakes themselves. Entirely dairy-free, which is great for vegans and those who are lactose intolerant! Every product is crafted to deliver all the richness, indulgence and flavour you'd expect from a traditional bakery.

At the heart of Okja is an unwavering commitment to ingredients and craftsmanship. The team make their own butter, cream cheese and chocolate spread entirely in-house, resulting in pastries with exceptional flavour, texture and quality. Every bake is made from the finest ingredients, which just happen to be plant-based.

Anyone who knows Okja, will know them for the swirl. Flaky, buttery and moreish, the bakery's signature swirls have quickly become cult favourites, drawing queues and inspiring repeat visits from loyal customers across London. Made using Okja's own house-made butter, each swirl delivers layers of crisp pastry wrapped around generous, flavour-packed fillings. Bestselling favourites include the vibrant Pistachio Swirl, the comforting Cinna Swirl, and the indulgent Choco Swirl, filled with Okja's signature house-made chocolate sauce.

Visitors can also expect expertly brewed specialty coffee, iced cold matches, and a functional smoothie range featuring four blends, each created with a specific wellness focus: Glass Skin, Brain Food, Golden Hour and Gut Feeling. With an expanded menu and even more of the signature bakes that have earned it a devoted following, the new Liverpool Street bakery is set to become another must-visit destination for London's pastry lovers.
