That is the most perfect place to have a nice breakfast/ brunch/ lunch and enjoy some cozy time. The service is great, the food is excellent and there are a lot of options, the space is beautiful and has some important messages around It. I loved!!

Massive portions. Massive flavour - Edit
We were not expecting the portion size to be so big.
Read moreWe had the breakfast roll (with square sausage, bacon and haggis) and the French toast (with almond, blueberries and yogurt)
Both were packed with flavour. The haggis was the star of the roll and the cinnamon on the french toast lifted the flavour.
We also had oat lattes which were nice with pretty late art on top. I had a raspberry croissant to dip in the latte. It was a decent croissant with a sweet jam filling
The portion sizes are BIG so be aware.

Can't wait to visit again - Edit
We got takeaway due to having to leave Edinburgh by a certain time. I wish we had been able to sit in as the takeaway was delicious. We got the reuben on both the plain white bread as well as the seeded roll. There were so good. We also got a slice of pumpkin spice cake and carrot cake. Both were very good.

Great vegan cafe - Edit
Been here a few times, always good. Most recently for breakfast. I liked the porridge with peanut butter & maple syrup (I declined the bananas, as not keen on them!) Good coffee too.

Lovely location - Edit
First morning touring Edinburgh and stopped here first for breakfast. Had the traditional breakfast and my husband had the French toast. Both were delicious. Pot of tea and latte also delicious. Really lovely atmosphere, cozy and inviting and lots of natural light, and pretty quiet. Lovely experience. Definitely worth a stop!
