Hailed as one of New York’s beloved vegan fast casual brand, by CHLOE.’s Covent Garden home is soon becoming London’s favourite plant-based restaurant. If you’re looking to indulge in some tea and cakes, minus all the guilt, then by CHLOE.’s Afternoon Tea is definitely the afternoon Tea for you.
Served in the two candy coloured long tables in the middle of by CHLOE.’s totally Instagrammable space, the Afternoon Tea is composed of British inspired tea sandwiches and cakes — but with a healthy twist! For instance, the tuna in the classic tuna sandwich has been made with chickpeas, the Egg Salad is made with Tofu, and the Smoked Salmon is made with marinated tomato filets, seaweed, and smoked chipotle. Moving onto desserts, the tea cake selection is composed of baby cakes, cupcakes, and scones made with special egg and butter-free flour.
All washed down with some tea selections from by CHLOE.’s official tea partner, Good & Proper Tea. (We swear, you wouldn’t be able to tell the difference in taste, but your body will thank you afterwards!) So everyone from vegetarians and vegans alike can rejoice and partake in the quintessentially British tradition without having to worry about a thing.
Why Plant-Based Afternoon Tea Works So Well?
Plant-based afternoon tea works best when familiar favourites are reimagined rather than removed altogether. At CHLOE, that means keeping the recognisable rhythm of savoury sandwiches, sweet bakes and a proper pot of tea while changing the ingredients behind them. Chickpeas, tofu and marinated vegetables can bring texture and flavour without relying on traditional fillings, giving vegan and vegetarian guests a menu that still feels celebratory, indulgent and unmistakably connected to the classic British afternoon tea experience.
A Lighter Way to Keep the Ritual
The format also makes plant-based dining feel approachable for groups with different preferences. Sharing small bites lets guests sample several flavours without committing to one large dish, while tea provides a natural pause between savoury and sweet courses. For a relaxed London afternoon, this kind of menu can suit friends, couples and families who want something social but not overly formal. Thoughtful substitutions also show that an inclusive menu can preserve the fun and presentation that make afternoon tea feel special.
TeamCocopup Charlie didn’t miss out on the plant-based action too, because he got his own bag of 100% organic and plant based Peanut Butter Dog Treats from by CHLOE.’s in-house brand of healthy doggy treats. So if you’re looking for ways to spend an afternoon with your pup this spring, then definitely pop into by CHLOE. – for some afternoon tea that’s easy on the eyes and even easier on your health. After a busy work week and lots of boozy after-work situations, by CHLOE.’ s British inspired Afternoon Tea was exactly what this mum and pup needed to recharge and refresh for the week ahead.
