Will vegan dairy alternatives be the ‘next Beyond Meat’ success story?
Gelato waffle from Nice Cream (Taipei, Taiwan)
Taiwan’s Nice Cream is a well-known spot not only for the deliciously smooth gelato, but also its Hong Kong-style bubble waffles. Traditionally made with egg, these vegan-friendly waffles are completely plant-based and are cooked right in front of you, in chocolate, green tea and vanilla varieties. The waffle is then filled with your choice of gelato, which comes in a range of flavours including sesame, milk tea and Oreo, which is covered with toppings. This decadent treat is creamy, crispy and completely worth every calorie.
Unicorn milkshake from Mister Nice Guys (Melbourne, Australia)
This vegan bakeshop describes itself as having “weird and wonderful concoctions”, which is always a good sign. Their cupcakes are to die for, but their milkshakes are incredibly Insta-worthy, with the Unicorn Milkshake being the most impressive. This violet shake has confetti sprinkles, candyfloss and even a unicorn horn. The flavours rotate daily, which gives an excuse to visit here multiple times.
Build your own cinnamon roll from Cinnaholic (multiple locations across the USA)
Building your own ice cream sundae is so old-fashioned – building your own vegan cinnamon roll is where it’s at nowadays. This 100 per cent vegan franchise has rapidly expanded within the past few years, and for good reason. Imagine a warm, gooey, freshly-baked cinnamon roll covered with any topping of your choosing, including icing, fresh fruit, whipped cream and cookies. We recommend the unofficial “bake sale” cinnamon roll, which includes cake batter icing, brownies, cookie dough and chocolate sauce, with added strawberries.
Where to eat vegan food from around the world in Hong Kong
Eclairs from Vx London (London, UK)
Eclairs are a decadent dessert – one which would seemingly be very difficult to make vegan. Vx, which refers to itself as “London’s notorious vegan junk food shop”, create a drool-worthy version made with soy cream. The flavours rotate daily, with anything from chocolate raspberry to Biscoff Oreo. These doughy bites of heaven are really one-of-a-kind, and are surely worth a trip to North London.
Cupcakes from The Cinnamon Snail (New York City, USA)
The Cinnamon Snail is a well-known NYC fixture that operates both a restaurant and highly popular food truck. Their desserts are surely the most mouth-watering, though, with cupcakes stacked high with vegan frosting and topped with cute cookies or mini doughnuts. The cupcake decorations are incredibly detailed and eye-catching, usually themed with characters or animals, and are truly a work of art. The flavours and decorations change regularly, so you’re always in for a surprise when frequenting here.

Vegan doughnuts from Doe Donuts (Portland, Oregon, USA)
Known as a vegan foodie haven on the West Cost, Portland has no shortage of vegan desserts, and Doe Donuts is at the top of the must-visit list. This tiny doughnut shop usually has a sizeable line and customers are limited to three cream-topped doughnuts per visit, as they are so popular. With flavours such as pink lemonade, blueberry cheesecake, “Portland fog” and even mac and cheese, these doughnuts are out-of-this-world delicious and use local ingredients as inspiration for flavours.
Waffles from Veganerie (Bangkok, Thailand)
For any vegan foodie, no trip to Bangkok is complete without a stop at one of Veganerie’s several locations. Serving healthy vegan comfort food, the waffles are truly the highlight here, with the most scrumptious flavours like Red Velvet and Soy Banoffee, all topped with fresh fruit, dairy-free ice cream, whipped topping and sauces. The best part is you can convince yourself you’re eating breakfast instead of an indulgent dessert.

Hand-rolled ice cream from Delabuu (Berlin, Germany)
Originating from Thailand, hand-rolled ice cream is not only delicious, but fascinating to watch being made. Liquid ice cream is smeared onto a cold stone plate, with various toppings added to the mixture, then rolled into a cup or cone. At Berlin’s Delabuu Ice Cream, the ice cream base is automatically vegan, and they offer many vegan toppings such fresh fruits, cookies, and vegan Nutella. Recently, this shop has added “taco cones” to create a novel experience for visiting ice cream fans.
