Delicious breakfast in Edinburgh - Edit
I really enjoyed having breakfast at Chapter One. We had the full vegan English Breakfast and the French toast, which was absolutely delicious.
Read moreThe coffee was also really good, which is something I'm not used to have in most places, to be honest.
The place is small and cozy, and the staff, all the women were kind.
Pros: Many options , Tasty coffee , Dog friendly

Great vegan cafe - Edit
Been here a few times, always good. Most recently for breakfast. I liked the porridge with peanut butter & maple syrup (I declined the bananas, as not keen on them!) Good coffee too.

Lovely location - Edit
First morning touring Edinburgh and stopped here first for breakfast. Had the traditional breakfast and my husband had the French toast. Both were delicious. Pot of tea and latte also delicious. Really lovely atmosphere, cozy and inviting and lots of natural light, and pretty quiet. Lovely experience. Definitely worth a stop!

Back in Edinburgh so we have to visit Chapter One for breakfast again 😋 I had a square sausage and bacon cob with Guatemala coffee, B had the haggis cob with hot chocolate. All as delicious as last time. Love it here. Also bought a couple of pastries for later. The coffee was strong and smooth, really nice. (Sunday 04/05/2025).

Lovely Cafe with excellent breakfast options for the savory tooth - Edit
Went there twice during our stay in Edinburgh. Had a full breakfast the first time and the French Toast with Bacon and Banana the second time. My partner had the sourdough with scrambled tofu.
Read moreAll of those have been delicious and provided lots of energy for a full day of discovery in Edinburg. The staff was friendly and helpful especially since we where a bit overwhelmed with the options.

Read moreSandwiches were amazing! One had “chicken” and the other one “pastrami”, both soooo good. It’s our last day here and I wish we discovered this earlier. Will definitely come back next time to try the other ones. The cake was really good as well, forgot to take a picture at first because it looked so good. The workers were also super kind and I don’t think it was expensive either for that portion.
