Breakfast Brunch and Lunch

I think I've probably eaten here more than any other place in Edinburgh. They make their own vegetarian, suitable for vegans, lorne sausage - or more commonly called in Scotland, the Square Sausage. I don't remember exactly what it tasted like from the 25 years or so since I last ate one, but this was very tasty. I did expect it to be pinker in colour and crispier, but regardless it tasted great. I also got a roll with their own homemade vegetarian/vegan link sausage and an added potato scone, with sweet chilli sausage. It was also delicious, and I liked that adding a potato scone was cheaper - at 60p extra - than paying to double up with a meat (or veggie) item.

No toilets. It's a small place but there is a small breakfast bar and stools at the window, and three tables and chairs for outside on a dry day. Staff are friendly and helpful, and I've read they are almost about to bring out vegan and gluten free sausages. They have Sgaia bacon for rolls, and sometimes have Missy's Vegan Cupcakes.

Extra 20% VAT added on if you sit in.

Soy milk available for teas and coffees at 30p extra. I didn't notice any smelly oily / lardy smells you get in some cafes then you leave and your clothes stink of oil (though we did sit outside). I will be definitely be back!

We had the vegan full breakfast for £5.50 and it was brilliant. Only 6 seats inside the cafe but staff are very welcoming and the food was lovely. It consisted of sausages, haggis, potato scone, beans, mushrooms, grilled tomato and toast.

Breakfast Brunch and Lunch offers something which is hard to find elsewhere in Edinburgh - a cheap and cheerful greasy spoon type cafe which offers some great vegan options. I love their vegan bacon rolls!

Had a lovely vegan all day breakfast, which was so good we followed it up with a couple of vegan bacon rolls to take away!

I have been to BBL as few times for there now famous vegan lorne sausage sandwich.
Although primarily a takeaway there is quite a few seats. I also know they have started to increase the vegan options. if you are here during the edinburgh festival, this is right opposite the Pleasence courtyard and a god send.
Very aware of vegan needs and really trying to raise their game.
