Arapina - Vegetarian & Vegan Bakery

You'll find yourself queuing down Little Thames Walk for a reason at Arapina—this isn't some worthy vegan afterthought, it's genuinely stellar baking. The sourdoughs have serious character, the laminated pastries rival anything you'd find in a proper French pâtisserie, and the cakes are rich enough that you won't miss the butter. It's the kind of place where non-vegans actually show up without any dietary agenda, just hungry. The Deptford location gives it that neighbourhood bakery feel—proper local spot rather than Instagram destination.
