My whole group of friends loved it - Edit
The food and vibe here were really nice. I was visiting Edinburgh with some non-vegan friends, and they liked it so much we came back for breakfast every morning.
Read moreThe pistachio cake was a real hit with them. The vanilla pastry was my favorite, but honestly it was just really nice having a cute breakfast place with lots of savory and sweet options. No complaints!
Pros: Food was really good, Both savory and sweet options, Cute and reasonably priced
Cons: None, it was great!

Best coffee shop - Edit
The staff were lovely when I turned up, they showed me where the quilter areas were and how there are Qr codes I each area. I ordered and paid for my drink which was brought directly to me. There were plenty of plugs for laptops and chargers, and being here to just read is totally normal which feels novel these days. I really loved the Chapeter One Coffee vibe at the front, chill vibe at the back. Will definitely go back

Fully vegan breakfast - Edit
I had the full breakfast and my husband had the French toast, all of it was delicious and came out pretty quickly too. Lots of cake choices, I had a vanilla hazelnut custard Danish which was divine!! The coffee was also beautiful and well made. A nice cosy, chilled spot. I booked a table for a Saturday morning but I didn't need to, it was fairly quiet at 10.30 on a Saturday morning which surprised me! Would definitely recommend 👌

A delicious vegan rendition of a standard Scottish breakfast. It was the only place that I tried to go back a second time (but they gapped to be closed).

A fantastic little cafe - Edit
We had the vegan breakfast. Generous portions and quite delicious. Good coffee and a lovely pot of roobios tea. Previously I have had a sandwich to go. The range of sandwiches and subs is extensive - I look forward to working my way through them. On a Monday morning the cafe was busy, with a vibrant atmosphere. I would highly recommend.

Chapter One - Edit
Popped in for brunch on my last day in Edinburgh. I went for the French toast, which came with bacun, banana, and a generous serving of maple syrup — a huge portion! Just lacking a little in flavour for me personally. The chai latte was smooth and delicious.
Read moreIt’s a little out of the city centre, and I was hoping parking might be easier, but there’s no parking on the street (it’s a red route).
Overall, a lovely spot with a varied range of vegan food — well worth a visit if you’re nearby.

Delicious - Edit
Chapter One is a super cute restaurant/cafe with a wide selection of crossaints, bagels, sandwiches, plates and cakes. We had the fully vegan breakfast which was really good, a flat white and the autumn special: the biscoff latte (you definitely need to try this one!). Service was nice, we would definitely come back ☺️

Delicious food, welcoming space - Edit
This café was a gem of a find! We had a delicious sandwich each (one haggis and one falafel) and I had a light sponge, pistachio cake with the perfect icing on the top. The space itself was comfortable and inviting and the staff were very welcoming. It's also dog friendly, which is a bonus.

Coffee’s top notch, food hits the spot and the staff are chipper. The owner is quite obviously passionate about a plant-based lifestyle, which is so nice to see.

Lovely little place - Edit
The food was really tasty for a nice brunch. My non vegan friend even complimented how tasty everything was. Only thing is I felt staff could have been more attentive as when we walked in we weren’t sure if we were meant to choose a seat ourselves. Once we had a seat we didn’t realise it was pay at the till. It would have been good if the staff let us know this just so we were aware and to save confusion. All in all it has beautiful food and I would return!

Top notch hot drinks - Edit
My sister loved her biscoff coffee and my hot chocolate was deep and dreamy. I liked the breakfast, but did not like the haggis (I’ve never had even animal haggis so idk what it is meant to taste like). I just found it as well as the sausage to be very mushy in texture. I also asked for extra olive oil as our salads were quite dry. I liked the pesto sandwich, but my sister said it was nothing special and the “cheese” didn’t melt all the way. I got to eat the other half of her sandwich so it all turned out alright. Plus the portions are pretty generous!
Read moreSeems like the staff was in a bit of a hurry to cook our food, although the restaurant wasn’t packed or anything. Service was nice, free water, free wifi. The place is pretty small though. Would come back again.
