Delicious porridge

Brochan has just re-opened for takeout today (25 July 2020). I’ve just had some delicious banoffee pie porridge and an expertly made oat milk latte (served in a vegware takeout cup). Check them out for a breakfast treat.

Yum

Overnight oats and porridge. Wow!
Sook good. If you love some healthy living and fantastic food come to Brochan. It's hard to get your bead around until you have been here.

Pros: nice staff, nice cafe, porridge

Amazing porridge

I only recently discovered Brochan but I couldn't recommend it more. It's a lovely little cafe that sells the most amazing porridge - mine was topped with granola, caramel sauce and banana. The portions are huge too, so it'll fill you up for a while.

Pros: Friendly staff , Big portions , Lots of choice

Cons: Only a few tables so need to arrive early

Comforting porridge for cold days

Brochan serve hand rolled organic oats cooked through in coconut milk. I loved the spiced apple chai porridge, so warm and comforting especially on a cold winter's day in Edinburgh!

Best place to have breakfast in Edinburgh!

Whenever I come up to Edinburgh for work I make sure I pop to Brochan for all of my breakfasts. The best porridge I've ever had by a country mile - and their specials are always so beautifully innovative. I can't recommend their rosemary apricot porridge enough!!

Great breakfast

Came here for breakfast 3 days in a row because I liked it so much. Only one menu item isn't vegan and all the food I tried (two types of porridge and one avocado toast) was great.

Pros: Almost fully vegan, great food, friendly staff, re

Cons: None for me

Amazing porridge!

Came with my husband on our last day in Edinburgh - so glad we did!
Amazing porridge flavours (all vegan at time of writing) - we had a rose & rhubarb compote one and an espresso-chocolate one.
There was also overnight oats and granola available, and one of the cakes was vegan.
Staff are very friendly and the cafe has a really laid back, lovely vibe. There's even books to read!

Pros: Excellent breakfast options, Good value, Friendly staff

Cons: A little out the way

amazing and innovative

The breakfast menu here is unlike anything else in Edinburgh. You have not had porridge until you have had porridge at Brochan! The owner is extremely friendly and her passion is obvious! Also have to shout out to the coffee, it was equally wonderful :D also have oat milk for us soy-intolerant bunch.

Pros: good coffee, lovely atmosphere, amazing food
