Amazing amazing amazing - Edit
I have been recommending this place to everyone. 100% vegan. A great selection of cakes, scones, filled rolls, and breakfast foods. I had the tofu scrambled egg on toast which was lovely. I have also had one of the vegan cheese scones which was just lovely, the best scone I have ever had I think. I even took my non-vegan parents here and they were very taken by the place! I would go back to this cafe everyday if I could.

Outstanding! - Edit
I wish I lived in Edinburgh because this place is amazing. The staff was very chilled and friendly. The drinks were great. We ordered breakfast and it was honestly the best vegan breakfast I’ve had yet. Furthermore, we took cinnamon rolls and two buns to takeaway for later. Everything was delicious.😄I highly recommend.

Lovely vegan coffee shop. - Edit
After we discovered this place we came back everyday. We had their scones, blueberry croissant and the cinnamon swirl... It was absolutely delightful. They have a breakfast menu too and a lot of really nice sandwiches. The coffee is high quality and the tea is so fresh and warming. The staff is very friendly and we loved the atmosphere.

Lovely Coffee In Edi - Edit
Lovely Coffee close to Haymarket or Fountainbridge in Edi. In Coffee are two ladies who worked really hard when I was there and I saw that they, at least, like what they do. And it was visible on quality and taste their products. Cinnamon Swirl and blueberry croissant was amazing. Cappuccino wasn't the best from best, but was only small minus compared to the rest.
Read moreInterior was clean, they have toilets and accepting card. They also had winter coffee specialities.
Pros: Really good pastries, Cheap, Fast internet
Cons: Saleswomen busy and did 5 things in one moment

We all had a great breakfast, two of us had the best porridge we’ve ever tasted. It was so creamy with perfect consistency with tasty toppings. And my partner had the cooked breakfast and tried vegan haggis for the first time which he loved! We took his omni mum with us too, and she loved the place!

Amazing place - Edit
I never leave reviews but I just had to for this place!!! You would never know it’s 100% vegan by walking past, they do an amazing selection of typical cafe foods, sausage roll, “Bacon” roll, soups, paninis, even croissants!!! I had the no chicken wrap with tomato and mozzarella and it was amazing!!! Very filling had to take the rest home. Also tried the chocolate cake which was amazing very homemade and you could never tell it’s vegan!! This is gonna be my go to place for hot vegan food, definitely wanna try the vegan breakfast next time!!

Read all about it - Edit
Lovely, friendly little cafe just a short walk from Haymarket station. We ordered a cooked breakfast each, which were both very satisfying. The haggis and potato scones were particular highlights but there could have been more scrambled tofu and an extra sausage if I did have a criticism. This was washed down with the free table water and a refreshing passionfruit and pineapple smoothie. I would definitely return again.

Fabulous Breakfast, Excellent Coffee ☕ - Edit
Have been here a few times for breakfast and am never disappointed. The chocolate and chia smoothie is delicious but in a hurry you can get a breakfast roll (vegan bacon, square sausage, tattie scones etc.) and coffee to take away. Better prices than elsewhere in Edinburgh.

Wish we went there sooner! - Edit
We had this place just around the corner and went there two times during our stay, the first time there was something wrong with their coffee machine which was unfortunate but we got a scottish cooked breakfast and a sourdough with scrambled tofu, and let me tell you that scrambled tofu was great! The vegan haggis and sausage was also a very pleasant surprise!
Read moreThe second day the coffee machine worked and when we ordered a blackcurrant crumble, coconut and Raspberry loaf and a coffee smoothie with cashew and banana we got an extra slice of loaf because they were sorry for the inconvenience the day before, great staff!
Pros: Fully vegan, Great breakfast and desserts (didn't try the lunc), Friendly staff, good prices, the place felt fresh!

Als wir zu Besuch in Edinburgh waren, habe ich das Café durch Happy Cow entdeckt. Es war ein super leckeres Erlebnis :p Alles dort wird ohne tierische Produkte zubereitet und die Vielfalt reicht von Broten über Porridge bis hin zu süßen Leckereien! Auch die Getränke werden mit pflanzlicher Milch zubereitet und schmecken super gut ! Wir selbst haben Smoothie, Cafè und hot chocolate probiert und können es mit gutem Herzen weiterempfehlen!(:
Read morePros: Viele vegane Auswahlmöglichkeiten, Kostenloses Wasser , Super lecker
