Pipoca Vegan is a completely plant based cafe and low waste shop at 224 Brixton Road. Established in 2018, it brings food, organic groceries and practical sustainable products together in one relaxed space. The cafe draws on French, Brazilian, Caribbean and Mexican ideas, giving its vegan menu a character that extends well beyond familiar meat substitutes.
Brunch is generous and colourful. The Brixton Brunch combines Caribbean style black beans, Colombian arepa, plantain, kale and cassava chips, while the Mexican version brings scrambled tofu together with beans, vegan chorizo, tomatoes, guacamole and jalapeño. House granola with vegan yoghurt, fruit and almond butter provides a lighter start.
Buckwheat galettes are a major attraction, with savoury fillings balanced by sweet crêpes using chocolate, nuts and fruit. Brazilian inspired bowls can include feijoada or moqueca, while sandwiches, avocado toast, cassava chips, plantain and vegetable croquettes make the selection useful throughout the day. The kitchen gives vegetables, pulses and grains a central role rather than treating them as alternatives.
Fresh juices, smoothies, mint lemonade, coffee and organic drinks accompany the food. The adjoining low waste shop encourages customers to refill reusable containers with dry ingredients and also stocks household and personal care products. That combination of cafe and conscious retail makes Pipoca Vegan as useful for everyday shopping as it is for a leisurely brunch.
