    Fruit pancakes
    Jonathan A.

    Came for a late brunch while in the area. Service was pretty bad as they just forgot to bring us our drinks, even after the food came. Food was ok but nothing great. I had the pancakes and they were just ok.

    Starting off the restaurant is clean and modern. Wasn't crowded and food came out quickly. The French toast with ham and Gruyere cheese was delightful. The sauce on it was an excellent addition. The GF got cinnamon swirl pancakes. Pretty decent but super sweet so do with that as you will. Coffee and drinks were also good. Service took a while to get to the table, was kind of just sitting there for a long bit before a waiter came by. After that the server was excellent.

    Date and Walnut Pancakes

    Food masters cook and bake here. The service was friendly and prompt. Large windows let in lots of light for a comfortable, lovely view. The date-walnut pancakes were just the right density and flavor. Not heavy. Not overly sweet.

    Mushroom toast

    There's plenty of space. Servers were nice. I got the chai latte and mushroom toast. Both were tasty.

    Vegan breakfast and pancake

    Loved the food and service. The first time we came (it was so good we went twice on our visit at Edinburgh). It was full but a table for two was found. It took a bit longer to get some items but everything was delicious. Vegan breakfast was great and toast with mushrooms delicious and filling.

    Great spot to over eat at breakfast! I enjoyed the Full breakfast.... it was FULL! Egg, haggis, black pudding, potato cake, bacon, mushrooms and tomato plus add salmon! Everything was very good and I'm stuffed. The latte was solid as well as I added the scone of the day! Yup...gluttony is on the menu!

    Tomato and Coconut Soup.

    My coworker brought me here for lunch since it was right around the office. It's a pretty popular brunch spot in the city as the place was rather busy when we arrived. Maybe I should've tried one of the bennys or another main dish, but the food didn't stand out too much to me. But then again, I did order a soup --particularly their soup of the day, which was a Tomato and Coconut Soup (£5). The bowl was plenty and heartwarming on a cold day, which also came with two slices of bread. While the bread was pretty grainy and plain, I did appreciate that the butter was soft and easy to spread. For now, this spot is a-okay in my book. I will re-evaluate after I return and try one of their main entrees.

    Went on a Saturday with no reservation and still got sat within 15 minutes. Super good food and nice environment.

    Floretine eggs benedict with mango sauce.

    Finding a good breakfast with early opening hours is a tough find in Edinburgh. Loudens had to be one of the best options for early breakfast. I loved everything about this place. Large windows to people watch and gaze at the rain, very friendly service & a huge menu to satisfy vegans, vegetarians and omnis. My only critique - ** and the menu does warn you if you pay attention**- everything is served at room temperature! So if you want hot coffee or cappuccino, then you have to request it. I ordered a soy cappuccino, a Florentine benedict with mango Chili salsa and Scottish porridge with strawberry puree. The cappuccino was strong. Thankfully i did notice the warning, so i did request extra hot. The eggs benedict was cooked perfectly. The chili mango salsa was odd but tastey. The Scottish porridge was really oatmeal and the portion was HUGE. I thought it would be a small side but it is like 2 cups worth of oatmeal. Delicious though I wish the meals were hot. I thought room temperature would be find for food but I would have preferred hot food too.

    A modern and hip spot for brunch with lots of options and quick service. My husband and I stopped by here after reading all of the fantastic reviews. This place solidly got a 4 out of 5 in our book. They have fantastic modern brunch options from Scottish to American favorites. We opted for a Benedict and avocado toast. Both were very delicious and beautifully prepared. It almost seems that this restaurant is single handedly subsidizing the spinach industry. There was a HUGE amount of spinach on both of our dishes. While it was fantastic quality, I think it was enough for a family of bunnies to eat rather than what an individual may want to consume for breakfast; however if you're a big spinach fan, this may be perfect for you. We also ordered a variety of coffee beverages from the flat white to the matcha latte. They were tasty and rather mild in flavor. There were plenty of families and couples at this location, so if you're looking for a spot that will have something for everyone, this could be your brunch spot!

    Decided to eat here as it was only five minutes from my hotel, so I was there right when they opened in the morning. I was promptly seated and had orange juice with the Hoots Mon Benny, and both were delicious. The Benny had the perfectly poached eggs and easy to cut muffin, as I have had rather tough benedicts before. I also decided to try the carrot cake with a cappuccino afterwards, and the carrot cake had wonderful citrus notes in the frosting and was well proportioned. Overall, the service was efficient and the meal was very satisfying (glad I went early as there was a huge line out front only a few hours later!)

    This place was right around the corner from where we stayed in Edinburgh, so popped in for breakfast after our red eye flight. It's was a Sunday during Fringe, so the place was packed and there was a line out the door. Luckily, the line moved quickly. The have a full breakfast menu, including a variety of Bennies, which seems to be their specialty. I don't do haggis or black pudding, but it you're more adventurous, those are Benny options. I had a bacon and avocado Benny which was excellent. I also ordered a side of wedges, which were a bit bland and not crispy enough. From what I saw of other people orders, I would stick to the Bennies.

    Loudons Full Breakfast: Bacon, sausage, egg, black pudding, homemade gluten free tattie scone, homemade baked beans, mushroom and toasted homemade bread ... my first Scottish breakfast. Busy place but quick service and tight meals.

    My Egg Benedict with smoked salmon! Around £8

    Sweet place. Built on the site of an old time chemistry larder (what is it?) from time bygone, now…read morecall vintage, very cool. I had a gluten free Frittata, really tasty, the dressing on the salad was smashingly good. And a pot of Secret Herb Duchess Grey with steamed soy and honey. It was strong, in Scotland they know how to make a cup of teah! The honey was fragrant with flowers. The soy thick and creamy. Thumbs up. Beware, they close -- why? -- between 5 and 6pm for a rest and reset. If you come at 4:45 and order something, it's a short stay. I came again and had a Kaleidoscope soda and the poem on the label: What you are I'll never know or barely care to ask. But if I did I'd ask you if, you'd lived or chose to pass? Did you fill your summer days or pass them in a haze? And summer nights to dizzy heights, in noisy city street? First times, first loves, all set to burst, the way it ought to be. Though now it seems to pass me by, I scarcely stop to see. And in the end, I am these things I barely comprehend, Kaleidoscope of memory, is all the parts of me.

    This is a good place to relax in - a bright space with a wide selection of teas including fair…read moretrade and organic, and cakes, sandwiches, soup, etc. It's quite a popular place. The prices are not too bad, either. Also, it is in a brilliant district for charity shop shopping, as there are several shops in the same street that often have great bargains in them. This is a daytime cafe and closes in the evening.
