We arrived just 20 min after The Pantry opened and we're sat immediately. Definitely try to arrive early, because the place filled up quickly! Soon, there was a long line out the door, despite the rain outside. We ordered 3 cappuccinos and 3 brunch plates: 2 avocado toasts (one with smoked salmon, one with bacon) and 1 eggs benny with smoked salmon. Food was good but definitely lacked flavor. Nothing very special, but does the job. Bathrooms were clean. I will say that some of our cutlery was dirty. We made do with what we had and just set those aside, but I did notice some other reviews mentioning that, as well. read more

Great place to grab breakfast. There's an online queue to join when you get here. Stopped by for Sunday brunch around 11 and waited about 25 minutes for a table. Service was great and Susan was very attentive! Intimate space with good music. read more

This restaurant popped up on almost every list of breakfast/brunch spots so I had to try it. The plates are definitely instagrammable!

Very happy we took a half day to get out of central Edinburgh and to find this awesome place. You first come in and you're welcomed by the staff. They are very helpful and very nice. The ambiance is very chill and a nice separation place to take your time and eat and forget you're in the city. The food was very delicious and I love the tater tots. A great place to start your day when walking around Stockbridge, circus lane, and dean bridge read more

The Pantry was so fresh and filling. With around a 45 minute wait, we strolled around the corner for a chai (grow urban was incredible!). The sunshine on stockbridge was a perfect meal, accompanied by a side of sourdough toast. I highly recommend eating here! read more

Beautiful brunch spot with interesting menu and warm decor. This place was great for brunch and friendly staff; they also dogs so we had some fun restaurant mates by us. My husband ordered the full Scottish with vegan haggis and I opted for the Stockbridge brunch which had eggs, sweet potato, courgette and a yummy roasted red pepper sauce. Their coffees were super delicious too. read more

Absolutely delectable meal. Adobo glazed pork belly toast was a wonderfully designed meal with such vibrant flavors that you don't normally find together, but were arranged with the grace of an orchestra conductor. Excellent eggs Benedict. Fresh ingredients. Great outdoor seating that makes you feel nestled in the surrounding village. read more

By far my favorite breakfast/brunch spot in Edin. The location is next to the Stockbridge farmers market and the shopping district, with great seating and large windows. There's excellent seating for single diners (which is sometimes hard to find), but also for large groups. Great service. read more

Excellent! We ordered the Pantry Waffles and the Sticky Toffee French Toast. Both were delicious, with beautiful presentation and good portion sizes. Of the two, the toast made a bigger impression and was more unique, though! They had friendly service and plenty of seating as well. Highly recommended. read more

Came here at the recommendation of a food YouTuber but clearly they didn't know what they were talking about. We waited about 20 minutes to be seated and thankfully they were able to text us when our table was ready so we had the chance to walk around. When we got to our table, we ordered Eggs Benny and a duck dish. It was past 11 AM so we couldn't order from their breakfast menu. The eggs Benny were alright, nothing really to brag about other than plating and presentation. The duck dish was lackluster at best. The flavors were non existent. The only thing that saved us were the side order of chips (hash browns) that we ordered. read more

The host was very sweet and let us bring in our luggage while we waited for a table and placed us at the closest table.

Highly recommend if you are visiting Scotland and are looking for a brunch and lunch spot! read more

All around good choice for breakfast, but not so sharp around the edges. Though they serve the classics well (eggs Benedict, French toast, and so on) each dish was lacking in overall flavor and execution. A bit sloppy. Coffee was good, ambience was great, service was friendly as well. read more

I would recommend this place to anyone that wants to have exceptional food, stellar service, and inspiring and hip atmosphere! My boyfriend and I are visiting Edinburgh, and we stopped here for brunch. This is hands-down the BEST meal we have experienced here! The staff is very friendly and kind people. We were given lots of space to enjoy our meal, yet not neglected at all. The menu is very creative yet cohesive, while the food is clearly made with quality ingredients! I ordered the Matcha Made in Heaven (pictured), and my boyfriend ordered the No Small Fry (pictured) as well as a side of the breakfast chips. If you find yourself in the Edinburgh area, I highly recommend stopping in! read more

Our lockdown brunch delivery! You must make sure you place your order at least 48 hours in advance on their website to get a delivery slot. If you stay within Edinburgh city, the Pantry allows you to choose which day (Friday - Sunday) to have your brunch delivered on. However, if you live a little further outside the city, they do offer delivery to the Lothians, but will only deliver on specific days (so best to double-check before ordering, so you don't miss out!). When your delivery date finally arrives, the delivery is made (contactless of course!) earlier in the morning to allow you to have it all ready in time for brunch that same day! We each received our own portion along with personalised instructions on how to heat them up. Since the Pantry had done most of the hard work for us already, all we had to do was warm the waffles and bacon through. We put them in the oven at 180ºC for around 5 - 10 minutes. Before ordering, we had worried that the food wouldn't be up to the same standards that you would have in the restaurant; that the freshness wouldn't be there, that the ingredients wouldn't taste the same or that warming it at home would overcook everything, but luckily we were wrong! The waffles tasted amazing, the bacon still crispy and the blueberry compote mixed perfectly with the maple syrup to create a taste so close to the Pantry magic we have always loved. Although the menu is limited, there is something for everyone - we guarantee you won't be disappointed.

Great food! I had their version of oatmeal and my wife had some spicy sweet potatoe thing with a poached egg (sorry I don't recall the names). Both were original style meals and were excellent. The wait staff is attentive and for a busy place the service was exceptional. Check this place out! read more

I was looking forward to lunch here on my last full day in Edinburgh. I came in and got sat right away, ordered a plain black coffee and the Mac and cheese with fries. The coffee came out and honestly it was horrible. I taste like leftover coffee drippings from other drinks. The Mac and cheese would have been great but the put a GIANT blob of sour cream on it, which would normally be fine except that the sour cream is SO COLD. It lowered the whole temperature of the dish and within 5 minutes I'm eating cold Mac and cheese. The fries were your average shoe string fries. read more

So I've been meaning to try this place for ages but its always so busy I've struggled to get a table. But alas. My time had come. I made it through the door (technically I ate outside because it was a rare sun-shiny kinda day) but you get the idea. I had the vegetarian breakfast with chorizo and a coffee. And I was not impressed. I mean, the coffee cups are super cute, the coffee itself was not impressive. My breakfast almost felt like a breakfast for giants- and no, not because it was a huge serving (its actually pretty reasonable) but each item put on my plate was just LARGE. Like, two tomato halves, big chunks of mushroom, huge chorizo links sitting atop a mound of bread. I would have been happy with a slice of toast. Honestly, I spent so much time trying to cut my food into pieces I just quit. Each item on its own was nice. Didn't reallyix well together and the dtrip of haloumi was my favourite part of the meal. After eating here, I don't understand the appeal. Sure, the exterior is super funky and staff are lovely, but when I think of eating or drinking a coffee here again I just think 'why would I do this to myself?' Sorry guys. Just not a fan on my end. read more

The Pantry - The Veggie Breakfast - British Near Me - Edinburgh, MLN

Went for the eggs benedict with ham, absolutely delicious. Poach eggs cooked perfectly, lovey rich hollandaise sauce, and a beautiful flat white. Staff are really friendly and even though we had a little wait, they got us seated as quickly as they could. Definitely worth a try. read more

I gushed on about this place when I came here first and having come back for brunch I still have to say I think the food is exceptional. Why the loss of a star? Well to be honest its down to service and a general lack of organisation. Like many places the Pantry is listed on TopTable.co.uk, so when looking for a place for brunch for Lucie.M and I this seemed like the perfect option. Having booked a day before we walked in to the crowded restaurant bang on the time of our booking, 6/7 people were already waiting to be seated. As some people were being turned away, I explained I had made a booking, one quick check of their bookings and it was clear they didnt have us down - credit to him - he told us to wait and our table would be ready in just a minute. When we did sit down the table was really sticky - the very flustered waitress immediately came over and asked if we had ordered - not having seen a menu and having just sat down we said well no. This seemed to frustrate her a little. Lucie.M opted for the build your own fry-up and I went for the East Lothian foraged mushrooms with pancetta and poached eggs. When the food came I got a waft of one of my favourite things in the gastronomic world TRUFFLE. These lovely mushrooms has been doused in truffle oil. Oh my.........! It was delicious, I well near licked the plate clean, Lucie was I think equally surprised and impressed by her meal, especially the veg table hash. All in all the kitchen are knocking it out the park, front of house....get things in order and you have a real winning place! The Pantry still comes Highly Jd Recommended. read more

The Pantry - Mushrooms, pancetta, poached eggs and truffle oil! Yuuuuuuuum - British Near Me - Edinburgh, MLN

Service was rather hit and miss as we had to ask for the bill twice at the end of the quick lunch we'd stopped in for but no complaints about the food itself. Like a lot of places in Edinburgh that offer on-street seating there's really not enough room between you and the road which in the case is cobbled thereby making it doubly loud when cars pass so beware of that as, due to its deserved popularity, there's a good chance you'll have to plump for one of those tables as the inside's invariably full. read more

All-a-round exquisite food for an affordable price! I'll definitely be returning often and with friends.

The Pantry - Do it. - British Near Me - Edinburgh, MLN

Every time I have walked past the Pantry I have always thought that I must try it. It's the kind of place that looks appealing for a lazy weekend brunch/lunch. I ventured in today hoping to grab a small breakfast although not feeling like anything too heavy. Aside from the various cooked offerings they also do a granola or porridge although they didn't appear to be on the menu. I settled for some porridge and a flat white. The coffee was passable and the porridge served with some fruit compote and a little honey was exactly what I was after. The interior is nice; spacious, homely and quite relaxed. It has a play area in the back so it's probably idea for families. I'd definitely be tempted to come back and try out their cooked offerings. I wouldn't go out of my way to come here for coffee but provided it doesn't get too busy it feels like an idea spot to grab to chill on a lazy day. read more

Wonderful breakfast spot in Edinburgh!!! We love the food and service here so much, that we made a point to eat here every morning that we stayed in Edinburgh. Stumbled upon it while we were staying at the nearby Nira Caledonia hotel. From the stellar and friendly service, from people like Hayley, to the delicious, original and fresh ingredients used, this place will go down as our favorite eating spot in Edinburgh, no matter the meal or time of day. Some our favorite dishes included the USA (Ubiquitous Smashed Avocado), the eggs Benedict and the great smoked bacon and salmon. If (when) we get back to Edinburgh, we will definitely go back to The Pantry. read more

40 minutes waiting created an expectation that didn't matched the food and service. The halloumi came in a bow full of sauce that when trying to cut it the sauce spilled all around the bow creating a mess. The Sandwich of the day was a pulled pork on a ciabatta bread, nothing that you should wait 40 minutes outside for. The service was very slow and definitely not worth. Overall an overrated restaurant not worth the visit. read more

The Pantry ticks all the boxes of a good brunch spot; an interesting, hearty menu; plump, iced cakes atop the counter; a wondrous, tempting smell rising from the kitchen. When I arrived, the Pantry was very nearly a full house. Nobody welcomed us straight away and we did have a wee wait. I'd noticed that this happened quite a few times and even resulted in a few lost customers. A 'Hey! How you doing? I'll be with you in a second' makes all the difference. We sat at a table which was promptly cleared but, despite the evident crumbs from the last diners, nobody gave the table a wipe down. I'm an optimist, especially when brunch is involved, so I was excited to see if The Pantry's food would be the redeeming factor. I had the Sunshine on Stockbridge which sounded delicious. What arrived was a piece of toasted sourdough, two poached eggs, a small portion of their chunky homemade guacamole and a few slices of roasted sweet potato. The dish sure did look like a foodie work of art; the chilli garnish for dipping had been carefully drawn around the toast centrepiece. It was an interesting and tasty dish. But when you're going for brunch you want something substantial; something memorable. This dish costs £8.50 and I just couldn't help but think of all the other local spots offering up wonderfully delicious platefuls for round about the same price. Although, I do have to commend The Pantry's beautiful, bursting yolks! We paid up and were on our way. We had to have a second glance back before staff wished us goodbye. I didn't find the customer service at The Pantry to be welcoming or sincere and, in my opinion, there's so many other local spots consistently delivering amazing five-star service. Unfortunately, I came away from The Pantry feeling like it was very much a case of style over substance. read more

Was hoping for more out of The Pantry when we wandered in for a meal around noontime the other day. They were no longer serving breakfast, and we were informed that certain items on the lunch menu wouldn't be available until after 12:30. Left with a small selection of not-particularly-interesting choices, I opted for a cheese sandwich. Which was fine for a cheese sandwich, I suppose, but secretly I wanted to be eating something more exciting than a cheese sandwich. Service was friendly enough, and the outdoor seating area looks quite appealing. I'd go back for a coffee or maybe to give their breakfast a try, but I wouldn't bother with lunch there again - too many better choices in the neighborhood. read more

Divine. Wish we had found it sooner. Our last morning in Edinburgh, mid-week, we sat outside and enjoyed a huge breakfast. Friendly service. Kid friendly. Waffles and bacon on a bed of house made currant jam. Latte served up in mismatched china. Suspect it gets pretty crowded here on the weekends. Our Air B&B was just around the corner in this food lovers neighborhood. Go. read more

I want to like this place, I really do, sadly my lunch today (The Stewp on the menu which was just a very average soup with some pasta in it ) didn't live up to expectations. The Pantry is in a super competitive area, the staff are very friendly and welcoming, the coffee is from illy and they have a great selection of fresh cake and local produce but so do most new places in this area. A big plus is that this place gets a lot of sun and there are a few tables outside, we had lunch al fresco there today, in February, in just our shirts. I do hope to get back and give it another try soon. read more

A really impressive new addition to Stockbridge's already well-stocked list of lunch and dining options, The Pantry seeks to showcase local produce in some innovative and flavour-packed dishes. Still with its fresh sheen of shiny newness about the place (at time of writing, it has been open for four days), the place is light-wood, white and minimalist, with some nice tweedy touches. The dishes on the menu all sound great, so it was quite a choice to narrow down the options. The soup I had was first-rate, and the burger, although slightly on the lean side for my tastes, packed a good deal of meaty goodness. The chips were as good as I've been served for a long while. Overall, we said: "The Pantry is a really welcome new addition. They're still in their infancy, so in time they'll make their house more of a home, but they're starting from a really nice level, with welcoming staff, a well crafted menu, and a good, relaxed feel to the place. They have lots of nice presentational details, too, like little milk churn jugs. I look forward to further visits to the place, which will be frequent and often." read more

Not incredibly impressed. We had our breakfast here and the pancakes were not nice at all. The eggs benedict were satisfactory at best. The hollandaise sauce was hardly there and actually pretty dry. Overall pretty Meh. Won't be going back in a hurry. read more

Its been a while since I've been here. I've never tried the brunch, so I am pleased to say it was good. I had eggs Benedict with Welch's hot smoked salmon, San pellegrino blood orange and flat white. The poached eggs were so good, Ozzy and perfect. The hot smoked salmon was cold, so not sure if it was meant to be warm or not but it tasted nice. I love the sourdough toast, a nice thick slice too. The flat white was perfect too. Will I be back? For sure I will! There are a few more dishes I wanna try out! read more

This was my first breakfast in Edinburgh while traveling with a friend who is very familiar with the city. We had a bit of a slow morning so we arrived right before the breakfast service ended (14:00) so, as to be expected, some things had run out (sausage and hollandaise). Fortunately, the rich and strong Americano we ordered were both available and prompt to arrive at our table. That being said, my friend and I ordered both of the fry-ups and we're pleased by our portions and the quality of our food. Despite it likely nearing the end of the morning waitstaff shift, our table service was hospitable and accommodating without being condescending. I truly enjoyed my fry-up and hope to go back before my trip ends! read more

The cappuccino was really really good and the breakfast was the best thing I have ever tasted I will be back for sure.

Right around the corner from our Airbnb in Stockbridge. What a sweet place! Sat outside because it's our last morning and we have way too much luggage. Huge breakfast, delicious waffles, mine was bacon ( about 6 rashers) and 2 perfectly poached eggs. Nice pot of tea. Thick sourdough wheat bread. Friendly & excellent service. Wish we'd found it sooner. Reccomend highly. read more

Great little place! We came on a Saturday morning and it was a little crowded but thankfully there was a table outside and since it was sunny we sat there.
