Order & Collect

• From 2012, when The Vegan Cakery was first created, until the beginning of autumn in 2024, TVC operated an extremely popular ‘Order and Collect’ service with the wonderful Cafe Mbriki in Leicester city centre.

  Customers were able to place an order with TVC via email, then collect their freshly baked purchase from the delightful cafe at 10 Carts Lane, just off the High Street and close to Leicester Cathedral.

  All ‘Order and Collect’ deliveries were normally made to Mbriki on a Wednesday morning – the option proved perfect for those travelling to Leicester or Leicestershire for a day out, or anyone working in the city who may not be able to receive deliveries at home in the daytime.

• Moreover, before TVC’s Hand Delivery Days were established to cover areas further afield than just Leicestershire, the Order and Collect service was the original way for those not within the catchment of The Vegan Cakery to sample products too delicate for postal delivery – such as delicate pastries like Mille-Feuille.

  The end of an era came in autumn of 2024 when Cafe Mbriki owner Maggie Barton decided to close this wonderful oasis – an incredibly emotional and sad day. TVC had already chosen to cease supplying trade customers, Mbriki had been the only remaining trade customer for some time, so with Mbriki closing it brought a natural end as well to Order and Collect.

  Thank you to all those many customers who supported TVC with their visits to Cafe Mbriki over 12 incredible years…a fantastic partnership with amazing memories!
