Allergic reaction due to incorrect ingredient information - Edit
My friend is allergic to pumpkin. So when we ordered, we asked if there was any pumpkin in the food. They said no. During the meal, my friend had an allergic reaction. It was quite severe, so he had to take an antihistamine and we were about to call an ambulance. When I confronted the waitress about it, she continued to deny it. Even when I showed her the pumpkin seeds, she said that they weren't pumpkin seeds, but perhaps barley. As my friend was feeling so ill that we quickly left and went home, I didn't discuss it any further. I strongly advise anyone with allergies not to eat here and hope that such establishments are closed down and such criminals punished.

Best haggis! - Edit
We passed by accident and luckily we die so as we had our best vegan haggis experience there! We had 3 different haggis that day but we both liked it there the most! They also make their own vegan sausage and it is really worth a try!

Can't miss - Edit
We almost didn't come here but I'm so glad we made the stop before heading out. They make their own vegan sausages and they were SO good. We got the ultimate vegan Scottish breakfast and they were out of vegan bacon but I was glad cause they gave us their vegan Lorne sausage instead which was delish. The haggis was awesome as well. Luckily their one table was free so we could eat there.

Best veggie sausages of my life - Edit
All the vegan meat is homemade, and it was so lovely to try vegan black pudding. Would really recommend as a nice breakfast spot and they sell their products too :))

Best Vegan Breakfast - Edit
Stumbled upon this deli/cafe in Edinburgh and so glad we did. Home of Scotlands first Vegan Lorne sausage (square sausage). I had the ultimate Vegan breakfast and my family had the Vegan lorne bap. My breakfast was fantastic! It came with two sausages, lorne sausage, haggis, black pudding, baked beans, toast and potato scone. Nothing fancy just good old fashioned Scots breakfast. I thoroughly enjoyed my breakfast/brunch. Highly recommended!!

Delicious breakfast - Edit
We had the full vegan Scottish breakfast. It was really delicious. The sausages were really tasty. And it includes a vegan Haggis. Highly recommended. It's worth 5 stars. Location is more like a fast food restaurant but the food is really delicious.

Expensive for what it is - Edit
Used to love this place but prices have crept up and quality has gone down. A small breakfast was £7.50 takeaway (£9 sit in). They'd run out of mushrooms so got a hash brown instead, but looking at other pics, they must have been low on tomatoes, beans and haggis too as we only got tiny amounts! I feel quite ripped off! Not any better than a breakfast anywhere else. Sausage is tasty though!

Super delicious vegan options. Hat the big vegan breakfast and loved it with every bite. Also have oat milk for coffee. Limited places to sit and you have to pay 20% extra for sitting in but it was totally worth it😄

Amazing vegan breakfast. - Edit
This little cafe has a good vegan menu, at least 6 to 8 options on it. We ordered a small version of their breakfast which had sausage, haggis, tattie scone, beans, toast, mushrooms and sausages. It was gorgeous and my first time having vegan haggis.
Read morePros: Good range of options, Vegan haggis

pretty good breakfast - Edit
This place is pretty good and has outdoor seating, so it’s a nice place to go when the weather is pretty. I had the vegan breakfast, and while I liked it, it wasn't my favorite. Also, their vegan menu is pretty small, which was unfortunate.

Decent breakfast - Edit
The food was alright, but a bit dry. Employees are nice, but it's not the best place to chill around for breakfast. I'd love to live near there and grab some of the stuff they sell in bulk for my own place.

Amazing how tasty this was. - Edit
Delicious link sausages and i think prices are good. Very helpful and kind people working here:)
Read moreThe only downside for us was the seating. There is little space to sit. Its a bit more for when you want breakfast, brunch or lunch (a delicious one though) and not take too much time.

Would have given 5 stars - Edit
… if I could. We’ve come here for years, always friendly service, always cracking food, always a bit of banter. We get their Christmas hamper too and it’s amazing that they homemake all their vegan ‘sausage and meat’ products. Bit off the beaten track but absolutely worth the walk / drive.

Best vegan breakfast - Edit
I would give 5stars if I could! I met my now husband here on our first date, and our last trip was with our beautiful wee daughter ⭐️😍. The vegan breakfast is ALWAYS so so good, particularly the homemade sausage which I don’t think you can beat! We had the mini Christmas box last year which was delicious and we’ve ordered another one for this year! Highly recommend ⭐️

Deserves 5 stars! - Edit
BBL is a classic greasy spoon and the best place in Edinburgh for a cooked breakfast. Their menu has an extensive vegan range, all of it made with love and care. The homemade vegan sausage is the best I've ever tasted.
