Delicious breakfast in Edinburgh - Edit
I really enjoyed having breakfast at Chapter One. We had the full vegan English Breakfast and the French toast, which was absolutely delicious.
Read moreThe coffee was also really good, which is something I'm not used to have in most places, to be honest.
The place is small and cozy, and the staff, all the women were kind.
Pros: Many options , Tasty coffee , Dog friendly

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!
