Subtly seditious - Edit
Not obviously vegan and serving hearty soups, rolls and coffee. Draws a diverse crowd and nestles perfectly in its community. Every neighborhood should have one.

Good food and top team! 👍 - Edit
Everything is vegan — the staff are probably sick of having to confirm that to suspicious visitors like me (who can’t help asking — even when it’s written on the board outside and on the wall menu!) Popped in for a bite when wandering about Edinburgh. The ‘bacon’ roll, iced cinnamon bun and tea were all good. The café quickly got busier after I arrived and staff seemed to be coping with the pressure and being just as friendly and effective as they were when they served me. Will def. return! 😊

Lovely - Edit
Cute coffee place. They serve a full breakfast wich is nice for a late breakfast and skipping lunch! Dressing on the spinach would be nice though. Good teas and they seem to have very good coffee as well.
Read moreA bit far from the city center (30' walk) but still reachable as a bus stop is across the street.

So happy we found this little gem! - Edit
Stopped for a quick bit of cake and a drink. The cakes were nice but the Broccoli and the Beast smoothie is the thing we'd most recommend! I had the passion shoot which was nice but would go for the broccoli next time. Sandwiches also looked delicious.

Amazing breakfast - Edit
What a beautiful way to start the day! Fully vegan cafe with a clear ethical purpose: say no to animal cruelty. Their menu is now fully vegan and have lots (and I mean lots) of options to choose from. We felt hungry after a total 25km walk the day before… so we went for a traditional English breakfast. The scramble tofu was cooked to perfection, the bacon was scarily similar and the vegan haggis were just perfect. We will be back!

My favourite café in Edinburgh - Edit
I was very much looking forward to coming back here after being away from Edinburgh for a year and I was not disappointed. My other half and I popped in about a month ago for a late lunch because it was so quiet (we were the only ones there). I had a roll with 3 fillings (bacon, black pudding and tattie scone) and it was much bigger than I had been expecting - it was huge! We then had a coffee and, as it was closing time, the waitress brought us free cinnamon rolls - utterly delicious! The café has a sign with the coffee of the day where you can see exactly where the coffee beans have come from, which I think is a lovely touch. For a vegan café in Edinburgh and particularly given the portion sizes and I would say the prices are reasonable. I will definitely be back!
Read morePros: 100% vegan, Good portion sizes and delicious food , Friendly atmosphere
Cons: The student discount is just for drinks

Lovely local cafe - Edit
Really sweet little cafe. I often pop in on my walk to or from the city centre for a coffee or something to take away. The sandwiches are delicious. I've tried quite a few of the cakes as well which are usually really nice and their options change frequently. The brownie they always have on the counter is particularly good! Quite a lot of the menu uses mock meats which isn't my thing, but there is enough choice without it too.
Read morePros: Loads of choice for sweet and savoury, Takeaway option, Yummy sandwiches
Cons: Can be a bit cramped to sit in when busy

Small vegan coffee shop to enjoy - Edit
Small vegan coffee shop with a variety of hot drinks and snacks. Also offering breakfast dishes. There are not too many seatings but there is at least one table for four.
Read moreIf you are craving for something sweet & sour consider ordering a French toast with bacon, maple syrup and some cut banana. I have learnt that bacon is originally made in Glasgow mainly from soy, soy proteins & wheat. I have enjoyed it with a large cup of decaf latte with house milk which is oat. For all of it, I have paid 9,95 £. Would definitely come again with a friend to try something else!
Pros: Completely vegan🥦 , Friendly staff, Decent pricing
Cons: Quite small

Looking forwards to trying more on the menu - Edit
Had a very tasty toasted falafel sandwich, will come back when I have more time to sample more of the food! UPDATE: I try and come here whenever I can, I think its the best vegan cafe in Edinburgh, given it has a great full vegan breakfast as well as the toasted sandwiches and great cakes! If it was nearer my home I'd go bankrupt as I'd eat here all the time!
Read morePros: Great vegan breakfast, Lovely cakes, Nice decor
