So happy to discover this all vegan grocer in Edinburgh! I came here needing some fresh fruit, but…read moreknowing I'd end up with other goodies. They have a great selection of interesting vegan products. This was the first place I saw Oatly's matcha latte. I also saw a lot of great candy's I've never seen before. It's a small spot, so it can get crowded quickly. I still had some of my travel bags with me so it got a little hard to maneuver. But if you're in and out it shouldn't be much of an issue. Otherwise, it's a must visit if you're in need of some plant-based and vegan goods!

Show me your cupcakes!!…read more Fab little bakery nicely located on Fredrick Street. I bought 12 cupcakes ...for a friend... and they looked delicious! Nicely presented in cute Bibi's Bakery box and the lovely girl who serviced me was all smiles. I would avoid on warm days as I can imagine the shop getting cramped pretty quickly

Bibi's prides itself on not only having pretty-looking and decadent cupcakes and sweets, but also…read morehaving baked goods that are really delicious. I have stopped in twice. I must say they have amazing window displays (I loved the colourful macaroon tower today) but inside the shop it feels cramped, stuffy and hot. Both times the shop has been swarmed by squawking teenage girls, too. Despite this, the cakes are gorgeous and the brownies are delicious!

A good wee local green grocers selling produce mainly from in and around East Lothian. The…read moreselection isn't massive but it is mostly in season produce. The also have Handmade Italian Breads, free range and organic eggs plus local honeys, jams and spreads. I think they're a family run business. They accept cards which is super handy! They also sell the odd plant or two. They're not the cheapest but you're shopping local and they're a small business so you can't expect them to compete with the likes of Tescos!

So, first day of opening, I headed to Sugar Daddy's. It is a completely gluten free bakery and they…read morecan also cater for other free from which is going to give them brownie points from me. The bakery is based on Rodney St, other side from the Marshmallow Lady. They have some seats inside (about 6 perhaps) so you can sit in and grab cake and coffee. The seating area was full when I visited and I wanted cake to take away. They had some cookies (60p each), brownies (£2.20 - £2.50 each) and a couple of cupcakes including red velvet (£2.50). I grabbed a white chocolate blondie and a red velvet to go. I was surprised at so many brownies available (normal, peanut butter, salted caramel, etc) as many gf people have brownie fatigue as thats traditionally the only cake we'd be offered. Service was friendly and helpful. There is a loyalty card - collect the stamps and after six, get a freebie. So, the taste test. I tried a bit of the blondie as I was wandering to Stockbridge. Very sweet, and I'm a sugar junkie so I was glad I only had a couple of little bites as I think the full thing would be too much. I was saving myself for the red velvet cupcake. It was disappointing which I hate to say as I love that places like this are popping up and catering to gf. I could see the top of the cupcake was cracked so I thought this might mean it was overbaked and it was :-( In the interests of research, I ate it all but it was consistently a bit hard throughout. I did like the icing, really good and not fake sweet like Bibi's had ended up. So, 3 stars. I wasn't wowed but I'd return once the hype has died down to see if the cupcakes are better.

For my 100th review it had to be something special so what better way than to review a 100% gluten…read morefree bakery. This was our 2nd attempt to visit as when we visited the 1st time it was closed. The inside of the bakery was very retro which i loved and the display case had 10 different cakes to chose from!! There are little lables attached to each cake as some are also vegan and nut free. I chose the ginger cake and my bf had the mint choc brownie. Both were huge slabs of cake for £2.50. They really dont scrimp on portion sizes. My ginger cake was amazing if slightly on the sweet side. I sampled the bf's brownie and it was really nice. I brought home some cupcakes and also a pizza scone to try. There are 6 bar stools to use if you want to sit in but unfortunately they dont have any soft drinks which is what stopped this from being a given a 5 star review. Will definitely be back when visiting Edinburgh!

Wow! What a sweet and very friendly little bakery and coffee shop. Tons of fresh bread and…read morepastries as well as a selection of breakfast items. The service is extremely friendly and very professional. The coffee, Scottish tea, as well as our breakfast was superb. If you get in early this is an excellent place to kill a little bit of time.

Your order might come out slightly altered (a caramel slice became an Empire biscuit) & the chocolate milkshake wasn't that brown (not something unique to here though) but somewhere worth stopping into all the same.

I needed coffee this morning and it had to give me a wake up as was so sleepy. I decided to opt…read morefor aroma because i was hoping for a better coffee than incafe, which serves costa coffee. The service was slightly faster and there was only one girl serving, she was pleaseant too. It's £1.50 for a regular cappucino and it looks like a 12oz cup, which is like a flat white takeaway cup. The coffee tasted better with sugar, I burnt my tongue checking to see if it needed sugar or not. It's run by the NHS and looks like it has a decent range of sandwiches, cakes and juices to takeaway with you. It's not a sit down place so you have to park your butt in the corrider. I suppose it's not going to get any better at the RIE so just going to have accept that this will have to be as good as it gets.
