The table settings have all the loveliness of a sunny Sunday picnic, with sweet bright touches (string lights, potted plants, etc.)—like a Sunday picnic at an evil-free cow farm! My wife had the “smashed avocado” on toast (yes, the meme-iest millennial meal; we perpetuate the stereotype, gladly) and a hot chocolate. I gobbled down the reuben, which was a creamy and tangy sandwich tower of gut-gladdening comfort food. For dessert we enjoyed a (gluten-free) coffee and chocalate cake—oh dear lord it was soul-warming!

After finding the stairs to the restaurant, I had an amazing carrot sandwich and a nice chai latte. Whole place is vegan, really nice food and service. Only the decoration didn’t really have a personality, but it was okay! :) Will visit again

Great quantity at a great price. Always good to see a fully vegan restaurant near or in a city. The Reuben sandwich was particularly tasty and the cheese, despite being vegan, tasted very close to real cheese!!! I’m impressed :)

Amazing cakes! Pad Thai salad appreciated by the rest of my party, but few if any option if you have an intolerance to gluten and or soy.

The best Vegan food I've ever eaten! I can't pretend I'm a food connoisseur but I have eaten a a fair few veggie/vegan places and this is the best I've had, clearly all the food is made fresh and to a great standard as the menu is small, I highly recommend!

They do an excellent frappuccino. The food here was nice, the homemade chips were especially good. The place is small and during the fringe is busy but we luckily got a table for 4 thanks to the accommodating staff. A good selection of cakes too.

It was absolutely delicious. One of the best vegan burgers I have had so far. The restaurant itself is located below street level and is cozy and a bit quieter. A welcome break from the busy streets of Edinborough.
