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.

Cute cafe! - Edit
It was quiet when we went in the morning, perfect atmosphere to sit in and eat. Got 2 hot chocolates, which looked so cute, and a slice of lemon blueberry cake, which had a lovely floral note to it, and the vanilla hazelnut crown. everything was perfect and delicious.

Friendly vibe. I will be back! - Edit
Totally worth visiting, if you're in the Haymarket area and crave a cake! I was afraid it would be crowded on a Saturday afternoon, but it was quite the opposite. The staff were very friendly (and their latte art is impressive), there was enough seating and pleasant music. The sandwiches on offer were not really my cup of tea (and seemed a bit pricey, too), and I was a bit disappointed that there were no cooked items available in the afternoon. However, all the cakes looked lush, and I had a hard time choosing just one! I will be back for more!

A lovely place for lunch - Edit
The place might be small in size, but the big welcome you receive cancels that out thanks to the lovely people who work there. The menu is really varied and I thoroughly enjoyed my soup and sandwich. There’s also a great selection of cakes to go with the delicious coffee.

Cons: Nope!

Unfortunately underwhelming - Edit
I had high hopes due to other very positive reviews, however the experience wasn't great. Firstly it was very expensive. I had a coffee shake which, for £7, I expected to be a decent size. So, I was quite taken aback when the portion was only a small glass (pictured). I had the chilli ch*cken sandwich, which contained cheese and chicken nugget type things. For £8.50 I was expecting good quality vegan cheese and protein, however the cheese tasted like supermarket bought (e.g. violife or cathedral city) and the nuggets were mushy. Additionally, my sandwich was left in the panini press for ages as the server forgot about it, but still served it to me. This meant that, unfortunately, the bread was extremely solid and unpleasant. I had considered getting a slice of cake, but at £4.60 a slice, I decided I didn't want to risk spending the money for further disappointment. The service also wasn't great. I really really was expecting to enjoy this, so a real shame.

I would give this 100/5 stars. Best French toast ever!!!!! So friendly. Has dogs. The bacon tasted so real I got nervous even after she reassured me it was vegan. Coffee breakfast milkshake amazing. Wish so much I could come back here 😭 one of the best breakfasts I’ve ever had in my life.

Good options - Edit
Had a all day breakfast which was a great price.
Read moreTattie scones, bacon, spinach, beans, haggis, black pudding all of which was great. A few seeds sprinkled for health, my only criticism was the beans that were just beans.
Menu looked okay and prices IMO were too good value.
Stopped form a Reuben.
Had an all day breakfast before heading to the football. All good. 👍
Great food

Massive portions. Massive flavour - Edit
We were not expecting the portion size to be so big.
Read moreWe had the breakfast roll (with square sausage, bacon and haggis) and the French toast (with almond, blueberries and yogurt)
Both were packed with flavour. The haggis was the star of the roll and the cinnamon on the french toast lifted the flavour.
We also had oat lattes which were nice with pretty late art on top. I had a raspberry croissant to dip in the latte. It was a decent croissant with a sweet jam filling
The portion sizes are BIG so be aware.

Can't wait to visit again - Edit
We got takeaway due to having to leave Edinburgh by a certain time. I wish we had been able to sit in as the takeaway was delicious. We got the reuben on both the plain white bread as well as the seeded roll. There were so good. We also got a slice of pumpkin spice cake and carrot cake. Both were very good.
