Small portion, large prices

They only have one vegan sandwich, but what a sandwich.
A fresh roll filled with a portobello mushroom, avo and Harris’s beans. Yum

Once again it’s limited, but they do a great veg based sandwich.


I’ve always liked this place and usually find the food decent, but today’s visit was disappointing. I shared my feedback with the staff, who said they’d pass it along.

My £11 open sandwich was tiny — made with what looked like the heel of a loaf — and honestly, a four-year-old would have left hungry. To make it worse, the table next to us received a non-vegan sandwich that was at least three to four times the size.

For the price, it just doesn’t add up.

Nice place for brunch

Stopped here for some brunch. They had veggie, vegan and meat options. Got a pot of tea with oat milk and their vegan option: avocado, butter beans, and mushroom on toast. Staff were very friendly

Lovely

Got a lovely cinnamon bun to take away the other day. They also had a vegan carrot cake and vegan cookie so will need to head back to try more options :)

Beautiful coffee shop

I have visited during two of my trips to Edinburgh and I'm surprised the reviews aren't better. On both occasions the service was super nice, they had a good amount of vegan options, the cake was tasty and the coffee shop is just very cute. If you sit by the window it's perfect for people watching too!

Pros: Good amount of options, Friendly and knowledgeable staff, Beautiful interior
