Most of the items on the menu serves sandwiches, wraps, and breakfast; but it was the Chiang Mai Noodles with Roast Chicken (£7.75) that caught my eye. The dish came with a small chopped Asian salad and a bowl of stir-fried noodles with soy beans, lime, spring onions, and crispy shallots. Although the noodles were tasty, the flavors were a bit too overpowering. I definitely needed to rinse myself with a few glasses of water from the saltiness of the noodles. Cute spot if you're looking for a quick morning or afternoon bite, but that's all.

Amazing brunch spot in Edinburgh…read more The reviews to this little spot do not lie. The brunch food was incredibly high quality and had the right amount of Scottish twang. I had a mocha to go along with my meal which was smooth and sweet. For the main, I "built my own bear". I went with 2 eggs poached with granary toast, bacon, pork sausage, black pudding, and a hash brown. It was a large amount of food for good value. During my short stay here I visited twice. It was just that good.

The clientele are regulars who live nearby. The area has lots of cute little shops and places to browse. Of course, we took a couple of extra scones to go!

It's not on the main road, but off through a covered alley. You'll see their sign if you look. I ordered the full breakfast consisting of a fried egg, pork sausage link, uncured bacon, fried breaded sausage patty, sourdough bread, potato scone, haggis and blood sausage fried crispy, and baked beans. I'd never tried haggis or blood sausage, but I wanted to say I'd at least tried it. I was shocked to find I really liked both. Not gamey at all. They tasted like well seasoned sausages. Don't fear the haggis! I also had a mimosa and a latte to wrap up the meal. Totally unhealthy, but totally delicious. Service was also great. Slow but steady, and very attentive. If I make it back to Edinburgh, I'll definitely eat at Scran again.

My porridge was so hearty and yummy, I wanted to lick the bowl. My spouse's eggs benedict dish was also fantastic, and you can tell they use very fresh, high quality ingredients. The way they serve the meals in little stainless steel lunch boxes is adorable. My chai tea latte with oat milk was fantastically spicy and not too sweet. The server was friendly, knowledgeable, helpful, and always nearby, so it was easy to ask for our check when we were ready. And the inside of the restaurant had a warm, cozy feel. I would gladly eat every breakfast here the next time we're in Edinburgh!

When it came to ordering, I got an Iced Latte and a Buttery Bap. The menu is a bit difficult to decipher, as it was confusing how much or how little can be added to it and at what cost. The menu said I could only pick one filling, but when I asked I was informed that I could pick an unlimited amount. I'm glad I trusted my instinct and went with just two: Veggie Haggis and Tattie Scones. Both of these were truly delicious. However, there was an extra charge for the second filling. Prices for additions are listed at the bottom of the menu as if they were sides you could order separately. On the receipt, I also saw that I was charged 0.50 extra for ice. I don't understand why places charge extra to make an iced drink when overall you're actually getting less of the drink. Overall, everything tasted good and I'm glad I was able to try numerous Scottish classics.

Lots of bacon in a toasted-to-order roll. Hits the spot. Raspberry Bunny: Almost too cute to eat, almost. Nice glaze against what tastes like luxurious brioche. The raspberry flavor isn't too strong though, just where the few red bits are. Mixed Berry Bun: Seemed like a hybrid between a cinnamon bun and a danish. Had a sweet cheese glob in the center in the middle of all the cinnamon rings. Some nice fruit in the mix. Much more exciting than a normal morning bun. Brownie: Very dense and very rich. Had a gooey center. Pretty intense for breakfast, but you can save some for later in the afternoon for a pick me up.
