Vegan sweets

I am not gluten free but I'm always down for vegan sweets.. However, these were not my cup of tea. The lemon bar was pretty good but the brownie and ginger cookie I couldn't even finish.

Nicest vegan baked goodies in Edinburgh!

Sugar Daddy's had the nicest baked goodies we tried in Edinburgh and we had them from a few places. So tasty, not too sweet, not overloaded with sugary frosting.

Not everything is vegan but it's all really well labelled and the staff are very friendly.

5 stars for the vegan things! I've given it 4 stars just because it's not all vegan😄

Pros: Very tasty baked goodies, Good prices, Friendly staff

Cons: Not everything is vegan

Good cakes but very sugary

The cakes here are good, the coffee cheap and the atmosphere is nice as well. Cakes are very sugary though and the salt on top of the salted caramel brownie was a bit too much for my taste.

Pros: Many vegan cakes

Cons: Very sweet

Yummy treats

We got lattes and treats to take away and every item was excellent! While not everything is vegan, they have a lot of choices and they're all well labeled. The stop is tiny, with one table and a few seats, so best not to plan to eat in.

Pros: Yummy, Well labeled

Cons: Not much seating, Wish it was all vegan!

Have some vegan goodies.

We were so excited about visiting this place but then our hearts broke when we found out that it wasn't a 100% vegan place. It's a gluten-free bakery but not 100% vegan. We were able to walk away with a few delicious items but were sad that we couldn't buy the other goodies because they were not vegan. We are not sure why we thought they were a vegan bakery. Nonetheless, cute place, good service, delicious goodies. Their vegan shortbread was our favourite! Everything is labelled well and if it's vegan, the little box on the label will be checked vegan. Enjoy!

Pros: Some vegan goodies., Very tasty., Cute location.

Cons: Not everything is vegan (just a few tasty items). , Hard to find parking in the area., Owner really emphasised "It's not a vegan bakery".

Great vegan/GF cupcakes, scones, & more

Peanut butter & jam cake - incredible

Peach/blueberry cake - perfect

Cookies & cream (dark chocolate) cupcake - icing was great. Cake texture was excellent. Flour tastes very different, you can really tell it's gluten free.

Sugar doughnut - tasted good, but texture was bad (rubbery).

Red pepper scone. Nice taste; texture was too dry.

Friendly staff. Great location, right by the huge botanical garden, which is free to visit!

Pros: Vegan options - clearly marked, Right by botanical garden, Friendly staff

Cons: Many items have eggs

Vegan Cake Perfection

Pleasantly surprised by the amount of vegan options (considering it is not exclusively a vegan bakery). Nice variety, there is certainly something for everyone whatever their dietary requirements. We took away three exceptional cakes for £8.25. Looking forward to many return visits!

Best Peanut Butter Jam Slices Ever

This bakery has quite a lot of vegan options. Our favourite cake is the peanut butter jam slice, it's the best one we ever tried and we love coming back here!
We recommend their Steampunk coffee too.

Delicious vegan cakes

I got a delicious and decadent vegan Salted Caramel birthday cake and it was one of the best cakes I have ever had. Not a single person would have even guessed that the cake was vegan! Would definitely order again when in Edinburgh the next time.

Pros: Great selection of vegan cakes

magical place!

I've tried a few cookies that were great! The coffee and service were also amazing. The selection wasn't big at the end of the day so I recommend to get there early!

awesome bakery

what a great wee bakery. the majority of deserts are vegan and are all gluten free, i alway feel people who are greate for people withn allergens really know what goes in their food.great selection offering much more than just cupcakes, a wide variiety of cake and biscuit delights full of flavour rather than just sugar,
had a great chat with JP and i always enjoy small business with an ethos and the passion they show when talking about it.
if you are in need of sweetness in your life, Sugardaddy will hit the spot.

Yum!

Delicious little gluten free cake shop with lots of vegan options and all other allergens listed next to each cake . We tried quiet a few of the cakes! The brownie was soft and moist and really chocolatey. The cookie sandwich was crunchy and sweet and really good. But the best had the to be the cup cake the sponge was so soft and light and the frosting was just so creamy! Also sells teas and coffees etc. Well worth the visit.

Pros: Everything gluten free, Vegan options, Allergens clearly listed

fabulous

Hands down the best vegan cupcake I've had! I had red velvet, with the creamiest frosting. And it was only one of many amazing sounding vegan options too
