Gem of a Vegan Cafe! - Edit
My family and I went to Curran Geal on our trip to Edinburgh yesterday and what a gem of a vegan cafe it is!!
Read moreTasty and wholesome soup which had been freshly made and flavoursome vegan toasted ciabattas and flat breads, all at a great price.
The deli items on sale are great too and there are a selection of plants to buy, which add to the cosy feel of the cafe. Also, the lady who runs the cafe is extremely friendly, making a fuss of our little dog, giving her treats. A gem of a find!
Pros: Tasty wholesome food, Good price, Lovely atmosphere

Friendly, great cake, and cute shop - Edit
Good sandwiches; we had one Reuben and one "Sombrero" both on toasted ciabatta, nice and warm.
Read moreGreat cappucino and excellent cake as well - we had a jaffa cake (cake-sized, jaffa-flavoured) and carrot cake.
It's a cozy place to sit amongst the plants in the shop and staff was super friendly. We also got some vegan items like spreads from the shop.
Pros: Cakes, Friendly, Warm sandwiches

Quick lunch - Edit
A great stop at Tollcross! They had a small but tasty selection of sandwiches, soups, and other comforting combos. I went for the Philly hoagie, which was the perfect warm and hearty choice on a chilly February day. Definitely worth a visit!

Wonderful service - Edit
I asked our Uber driver from the airport:
Read more"What's the one thing I have to do in Edinburgh?"
He told me I needed to try Haggis and that being vegan wasn't an issue with that.
I had the vegan haggis sandwich and a scone and it was fantastic.
The service was also amazing.
Pros: Vegan Haggis , Service

Cute sandwich cafe in Edinburgh - Edit
I had the pulled jackfruit chiabatta and a chai latte with oat milk. Both were very tasty. I also took two pain au chocolat to go which were awesome. The staff is very nice and friendly. Can't recommend enough!

Tasty food and lovely staff/owners - Edit
Had breakfast here two times during our visit to Edinburgh and it was a great experience.
Read moreThe place is really cozy and I kind of envy people that can visit this place daily. The portions are large and the food feels healthy but never dry or flavourless in that way many healthy vegan meals can be.
Highly recommend this place😄

Great for a cold day - Edit
Curran Geal is a cozy cafe, which offered a range of soups and sandwiches, among other things. We got a toastie with soup, some coffes, a bagel and a pastry.
Read moreIt was all very decent, however lacking a bit of wow factor. However I can’t complain. The warm food on a cold day really hot the spot.
Also lovely staff, all vegan and a little store selling vegan products on the corner.
A solid 4 stars from niki_nine
Pros: Warm and tasty food, Nice staff, All vegan
Cons: No wow factor

I like the idea of good simple food in a cosy, warm and welcoming environment on a cold day.

Great staff, food and decor - Edit
I had a wonderful meal with my family in this cute, little vegan cafe. There were plenty of soup options to warm us up on that cold day out and the ciabattas were incredible. The cafe also sells vegan goods (such as sauces and olives etc.) at reasonable prices! I would highly recommend this place to anyone especially if you have a dog as they are dog friendly. 10/10.
