👍👍 I chose our holiday rental because this was close. I didn’t realize how close or what a great decision that was until we went in and met Helen. Holy smokes. That lady is the nicest lady in Edinburgh! I can’t say enough and I could go on and on and on so I’ll try to keep it short and concise. Not onl...

    Delicious GF paninis. I had chicken avocado DF salad and my husband had chicken and bacon, brie with sweet chilli sauce. Well worth the wait. A cozy wee place with just 2 tables for two and a window seat table for three so we ate our lunch around the corner in a lovely leafy lane. I had a yummy green smoothie with Victoria sponge and my husband a coffee. Very reasonable prices - just £15 for everything. Well worth a visit 💚

    I chose our holiday rental because this was close. I didn’t realize how close or what a great decision that was until we went in and met Helen. Holy smokes. That lady is the nicest lady in Edinburgh! I can’t say enough and I could go on and on and on so I’ll try to keep it short and concise. Not only are they gf and vegan but they actually CARE!! Helen spent so much time talking to our son about his options, not only in their menu but she drew a map of other places for him to try in the city!! Are you even kidding me?! By the 3rd day, she knew our sons allergies. She greets us by name. We pop in just to wave when she’s busy. We want to take her home with us!!! She and her son have the best business and restaurant in the city in our opinion. Helen is so genuine and so caring and so sweet and so funny. We just adore her and she makes us want to be better, kinder people. Even if you have no allergies, pop in and give them a try and tell them we said hello. You won’t be disappointed, we promise!

    This is my favourite cafe I visited on my trip to Edinburgh. As a coeliac it was just amazing to eat with my family and not have to worry. It's also very refreshing not to have to ask lots of questions about cross contamination. The food was delicious and reasonably priced to my mind. It was also great to be able to try a Scottish treat, there were a number of sweet treats on offer, I had an Empire biscuit. Delicious food, highly recommend

    Amazing amazing find! Please all Coeliacs visit this place if you’re in Edinburgh! Spoke with the owners and no wheat is allowed on site! I couldn’t believe it, to look at a menu and not see a GF sign but know I could have absolutely everything. There was too much choice I wanted everything! Highly recommend ☺️

    The first thing I noticed with this cafe when I walked in is how welcoming and the environment/staff are. When ordering I was served with a smile and great conversation. Didn’t feel put in or fake at all. Food is fairly priced for the area and they have fairly health options. I’m definitely coming back

    Ordered soup of the day but didn't show up. My son is with food allergies of gluten, dairy, nuts. Confirmed with staff before ordering the chicken & bacon pasta. Yet he needed to go to hospital after eating.

    A lovely, cosy and welcoming café with a totally gluten free menu. Me and my gluten eating wife visited for breakfast during a weekend trip to Edinburgh, and both opted for a gluten free breakfast roll. We both agreed that the food and the service were divine! I even took away a couple of cakes for later on. Super tasty and safe - what more could a coeliac want!

    Ordered a GF Pasta and a salad, they were both delicious! Everything is gluten free, so we had a huge range of dishes to choose from. Also had numerous dairy free options. The deserts were also very good and service was excellent. Thank you! Will be back very soon.

    A coeliac’s dream sandwich counter! The service is excellent and the menu covers a range of salads, rolls, paninis, and pastas - as well as excellent breakfast choices. A complete gem and I’m so glad I found it! I liked the sit-in meal so much that I also ordered a roll to take away for later.

    We were looking for gluten free bakeries when visiting Edinburgh (from the States). We were able to visit this cafe on our last day of the visit, unfortunately our schedule didn't allow us to be around the area during their open hours. Very friendly staff, and delicious pastries that my gluten intolerant partner enjoyed!

    Amazing GF Food! Staff was very friendly. It was a dream come true being able to choose anything from the menu 🙌 I loved it ❤️✨

  • 5/5 Janja K. 7 months ago on Google
    I stopped here for a leek and potato soup and a lovely dairy free biscuit 🙂 loved it. Will definitely go back now that I discovered this place. It is difficult to find GF options and having a Café where you know everything is gluten free is amazing!

    Safe and good food for us Celiacs! Thank you! You can eat breakfast there or soup sandwiches and cakes and other snacks.

    Great spot! We enjoyed a delicious breakfast. My companions are gluten intolerant so I picked this place for them but everything was so good I would eat her again even though I am not gluten free.

    Super friendly staff, great food and our breakfast had a generous serving size. Great for coeliacs & gluten free. Would recommend

    My partner and I (who is GF) went there every morning during our stay in Edinburgh August 2022. The staff were always so lovely and welcoming, the food and was amazing, the freshness of the breakfast panini's and rolls were incredible. We're planning on coming back again on our next trip. Would highly recommend anyone to go visit them, GF or not.
