Disappointed - Edit
Had really high expectations for this place with all the positive reviews and was sorely disappointed.
Read moreThe place was really really dirty. Didn’t look like the pastry fridge was ever cleaned. The guy sharpening knives didn’t wipe them down after sharpening and the floor looked filthy.
Staff was not very friendly and didn’t like that you were charged 1£ more for everything to dine in. Part of being vegan is being earth friendly to me and you should be charged more for takeaway (ie creating more waste)
The sandwiches were okay. Greasy and pretty salty thought I could’ve got them cheaper elsewhere.
My latte shots died and my latte tasted burnt. Tasted like cheap coffee with a bit of milk.
The strawberry cream croissant was very good. So that made up for it, but I wouldn’t recommend this place.
Pros: Delicious baked goods
Cons: Unfriendly , Dirty, Salty

My fav vegan spot on Earth - Edit
Black Rabbit is a gem! The place is cozy and curated in every detail, the staff is the most friendly, helpful and talented you could ever meet. And whatever I could say about the food wouldn’t quite describe how amazing it is! Their nae eggs are beyond and the cake was a dream.

Very good - Edit
The food was very delicious; we had tofu with vegan bacon. The staff was very friendly. The croissant for dessert with vegan cream and strawberries was absolutely fantastic. Highly recommended! Additionally, you can also buy vegan goat cheese. However, the restaurant is very small, and the seating is not very comfortable. But that is the only drawback.

Great place for an informal vegan meal - Edit
All the food was very good. The full vegan breakfast and the grilled sandwich we ordered were great, though the thing I loved the most was the biscoff roll I got for dessert. Despite being a very small place, they have some tables to sit at. I would recommend it for an informal meal.

Our go to for vegan coffee and cake in Edinburgh - Edit
We love black rabbit! The venue is small so we've only ever taken away but every time we're through Edinburgh way we try make sure to catch their opening times for coffees and cakes.
Read moreA big selection of cakes and pastries available. Must admit our favourite were the cruffins which are no longer available but still some excellent choices. We've tried a couple of the sandwich options, usually whatever the special is at the time and have enjoyed pretty much everything we have tried from there.
The staff are lovely and friendly and I believe you get a small discount for taking your own cups for coffee and boxes for cake. Definitely check it out if you're nearby!
Pros: Fully vegan, lots to choose from
Cons: Discontinued cruffins

Got a chai with soy and carrot cake - both yummy. I have issues with vegan carrot cakes as they are often too sweet but this cake was pefect. Everyone in the cafe was lovely too from the customers and staff. A nice vibe!

Super nice - Edit
The girl there was very cute and kind. Every sandwich comes with a little side salad and tastes great, lots of umami thanks to the mushrooms. The cake I tried was filling me to the top and was deliscious. Will return, good prices!

Kind service, delicious food and drinks! - Edit
The nae egg and bacon sandwich was the best breakfast sandwich I’ve ever tasted. They somehow made the tofu taste exactly like egg salad? I’ve never once tasted a tofu dish like this! It was to die for!! My turmeric latte was also the best I’ve ever tried. It was perfectly spiced and not overly sweet. A must visit!

Best vegan full breakfast in Edinburgh - Edit
So happy to see them doing sit in now- yes their pastries are great but don't sleep on the savory food. It's the best fill breakfast I've had in Edinburgh so far, and the eggs Benedict is incredible as well.

Nice - Edit
We had the cinnamon rolls and lime-strawberry cheesecake. Both were really good! However, the pictures here and on internet show a variety of products that wasn’t there!! We went an hour after opening, mostly for the viennoiseries such as croissants but there weren’t any…Huge disappointment. Also, the place is really small and we didn’t feel really welcomed
Read morePros: cinnamon rolls, cheesecake
Cons: not much variety , no viennoiseries , small place

We were sad because all the reviews show Cruffins, we went twice for these, one later on and one as soon as they open and there were never any signs of Cruffins….however we did buy the cinnamon rolls, lotus rolls and a selection of cakes (yes, we love cake!)
Read moreAll were incredible…the cake was soft and to die for!!
Pros: Amazing cake, Buns were delicious , Lovely coffee
Cons: No Cruffins, Small and a limited selection

Check em’ Out! - Edit
Cute little vegan cafe / restaurant. The service was lovely and the food was tasty! I got the Black Rabbit bagel. The bagel itself was nice and soft and it was packed full! The bacon (made in-house) was really nice and they deff don’t skimp on it! Can’t wait to visit again.

Maple pecan bun stood out - Edit
This is a very small little shop with a mix of sweet and savory pastries on display. We got a haggis turnover, a sourdough pain au chocolate, and a maple pecan bun. The maple pecan bun was definitely the best, it was very doughy and just the right amount of sweetness. However the pain au chocolate was dry - we got it because the sourdough croissant sounded very unique but it ended up not being that great, although the chocolate filling was very generous. Maybe we should have asked to have it warmed up? The haggis turnover was very nice though and came with a little side salad.

GET THE BLT!!! - Edit
tiny cafe and always super busy, so there’s a bit of a wait time and a little expensive, but they do have plenty of more luxury items like vegan cheeses and smoked salmon. The BLT is absolutely amazing. i don’t even understand how they can make something as simple as a BLT soooo delicious!!! definitely a must try if u want to treat yourself a little.
