Super good bun

Went here early for breakfast, they had no sandwich so I had a bun instead. It was really good but a little sweet for me in the morning. Really good coffee as well and the staff was so kind

The cinnamon & biscoff roll is out of this world!

As titled, the cinnamon roll is truly something else. Not too sweet - in fact, it's just right and is recommended over the alternative vanilla icing!

Lovely cafe

This cafe was super lovely. They had 4 vegan options - jam donut, cinnamon bun with icing, cinnamon bun with biscoff icing, and a chocolate bun. They also had plant based milk for coffee but I had the fresh orange juice and it was amazing!

Pros: Lots of vegan pastries, Friendly staff, Nice atmosphere

Always love coming here

This is one of my fave places to come when in Edinburgh. Coffee is incredible and the food is awesome. I’ve seen people complaining about there not being enough options but I think it’s fine. I would say 30-40% of the menu is vegan or has a vgo. Plus the cinnamon rolls are to die for!! Some of the best vegan pastries I’ve ever had! Plus lovely staff.

Pros: Vegan cinnamon rolls , Amazing coffee , Cute interior

Really good food but too little vegan options

They have two main vegan dish which are the classic but excellent avocado toast (really loved it) and the vegan sandwhich that was sold out when I went (at 1pm).
For desserts you have two choices : the strawberry jam donuts and a creamy pastry that looked really tasty.
I had the strawberry jam donuts, it was delicious but I really wanted to try other flavors as well.
The food is really fresh and its really well presented.
It was 9£ for the avocado toast and 3£ for the donuts.

Pros: Very good, Super nice staff, Very cute cafe

Cons: very few vegan options, bit pricey

Delicious brunch and friendly staff

I've visited here twice now and had an excellent experience both times. The first time they were doing window service only, I ordered coffee, cinnamon buns and raspberry jam doughnuts. The jam filling was perfectly tangy, not overly sweet, you could tell it was made from fresh fruit. The cinnamon buns have the perfect amount of icing, a nice thin glaze not a big wodge of thick icing.
The second time was back to sit in dining. We had the avocado on toast and the gigantic Greek beans on toast. Both were so tasty! They came with side salad and the slices of toast are pretty big - they made a very filling brunch. I want to try the creamy mushrooms next time.
I also had a biscoff cinnamon bun which was excellent. The days vegan doughnut options was a honeycomb doughnut, with chocolate ganache.
Two different members of staff enquired how our food was, and everyone seemed so genuine and helpful. I asked about allergens and nothing was too much trouble to check. The coffee is speciality coffee and was great as well. They are using Moma Oat milk.
I really recommend this place - pop in by when you are near Waverly station!

Pros: Perfect cinnamon buns, Doughnuts!, Great coffee

Cons: Would like more vegan doughnut flavours to choose , Small cafe - so get there on time for a seat
