delicious food and super friendly owner - Edit
We went to Folks Cafe for breakfast and were immediately greeted by the super friendly owner, Callum. The food and drinks were amazing, we had the Sloppy Folks (soooo yummy!!) and the pizza (incredibly tasty!), and I took some cake with me, which was also delicious. The atmosphere was super cosy, lots of plants and beautiful furniture, and wall decorations really lightened the place up! We really enjoyed our stay, chat and culinary experience and were super sad when we were back in Edinburgh before departure, and Folks Cafe was closed. But we will definitely be back in the future!

Lovely food and vibes - Edit
A delicious lunch stop! We had the 3 salad combo and one of the Bread & Spread specials between the 2 of us and it was very delicious and filling the owner had his record collection onsite so it’s not sitting unused in his house, so we had some cool 70s vibes to go with the food and plants which surrounded us. Great!

WOW! - Edit
A peaceful cafe outside of the busy city centre. The owners are really friendly and make you feel welcome. Every single item on the menu is delicious - we almost bought everything to take back with us!! One of the owners also sells beautiful, sustainably made prints in the cafe.

Thank you for the fork. :) - Edit
The owner is really kind and happy to talk about their thought process. I love hearing behind the scenes trivia. I ordered a sloppy folks and it was incredible. Never tried before, and it was perfect, saucy and filling. Thanks again.

Great little spot! - Edit
I attempted to come at around 10am on a Sunday but unfortunately they had sold out of everything, they make more throughout the day though and I came back later and tried a selection. Everything I tasted for very nice and I loved the vibe of the place, felt very homey.

Lovely space - Edit
The cafe has the main room with a few tables and a back room with seating as well. The toilet is also at the back. I had the sandwich of the day on a homemade cob which was fresh and tasty. The sandwich was a cheese and onion roll, vegan Applewood smoked cheese and mature cheddar with pickled red onion, caramelized onion, chickpea mayo, rocket and tomato on a homemade oregano bun. Really nice. I had hot chocolate, it was so creamy, loved it and it was in a hug mug :)

Pros: Great food, Fab hot chocolate

Charming little plant-based café serving up fresh pastries, sandwiches, and soups. I had the cheese roll and sweet potato soup, paired with a green smoothie—everything was fresh, hearty, and full of flavour. A perfect spot for a wholesome and satisfying lunch, with plenty of tasty vegan options!

Cosy cafe with great salads - Edit
A lovely family-run café with a great range of food and snacks. I had the selection of salads which included potato salad, a miso tofu slaw, and beetroot and red pepper. All were very yummy! I was also eyeing up my dining pal's pizza too. Great vibes and will be back soon.

Cosy, boho vibes - Edit
A perfect addition to the vegan scene in Abbeyhill. Very friendly and welcoming, and the food was delicious. Would recommend the sloppy folks (tempeh filled burger), the pizza, and the red smoothie. Some seating up at the back also would make this a great coffee/book spot.
