Top notch sandwiches - Edit
I've had the Green Rabbit and the Salmon & Cream Cheese Bagel and both were very nice although the salmon looked or tasted nothing like how I remember it. They make them on the spot with fresh ingredients. In addition to sandwiches they have mouthwatering baked goods in their window!

Amazing pastries - Edit
Soooo many savoury and sweet treats. We got the nae egg and Lorne roll - this was delicious, they used scrambled tofu and had favoured it really nicely. A pesto, tomato and cheese pastry, blackcurrant and custard cruffin and a plain croissant.

Vegan Heaven - Edit
This place is the absolute best! Never have I seen such a large selection of vegan cheese, from well known brands to small companies, I picked up some delicious pastry too, with bacon, cranberry and Brie, it was straight out of the oven! Over the next few visits I will have to try all the sandwiches🤣

Incredible!!! - Edit
Their bakon and sham toastie is to die for!!! Absolutely loved our lunches here, which we enjoyed sitting in the meadows. Can highly recommend the Custard and Blackcurrant cruffin. The haggis toastie was delicious, however really heavy- could be a good one to share!

The Best Deli in Edinburg - Edit
We were in town three days and stopped by Black Rabbit every day. Their breakfast pastries were incredible, such delicate pastry with these rich flavors. The sandwiches were amazing as well. And you can’t forget the sweet pastries. Everyone needs to try a cruffin. There’s also a really substantial amount of grocery items and a lot that we’ve never found in London. The owners were also just lovely people that even made one pastry a second day just so I could have another one. Cannot recommend these guys enough.
Read morePros: Huge menu , Amazing flavors , Great grocery items

Best cafe in Edinburgh - Edit
Black Rabbit is indisputably the best cafe in Edinburgh. They have a great mix of innovative sweet and savoury baked goods. There's usually something new and unique along with the stuff they usually have, like cruffins, cakes, croissants, and cheesecake. The owners are lovely and really get to know their frequent customers; for example, I have some food allergies including nuts, and they always let me know when something contains nuts. They also have a takeaway food menu of hot and cold sandwiches, a couple of fridges with cold drinks, deli "meats" and a variety of cheeses (nut based and otherwise), and several shelves of pantry goods and other sweet and savoury snacks (including jerky, LoveRaw bars and Jeavons toffees).
Read morePros: good selection, friendly staff

Outstanding - Edit
Visited today on my way to the park, the cheese and vegan meat slices selection they offer is by far the best I’ve ever seen in the UK, I was left speechless by the sheer amount and quality of everything we tried, amazing sandwiches (the green rabbit is amazing!) and the cakes are to die for! They also have vegan savoury pastries and huge sausage rolls, looking forward to trying them soon!

Fantastic cake selection - Edit
I just love this place!! Used to live nearby and we’d often grab lunch and go have a little picnic in the meadows nearby. This place was high on my list of places I wanted to return to on our trip back. The cakes are fantastic, and they also stock some interesting vegan items to take away as well (nice vegan deli meats, cheeses, specialty items that can be a little harder to find such as squirty cream, vegan wagon wheels, Twilight chocolate bars etc).
Read moreEdit: I forgot to mention how huge their selection of vegan cheese is - it’s really quite remarkable! Definitely worth checking out if you’re after something a little more fancy me.
The staff are super sweet and friendly too!

Love this place! - Edit
Every time I go in, I feel like I’m at home. The owners are so kind and lovely. Every single thing I have tried here is amazing! They bake their bread, cakes and pastries fresh. They have a large selection of vegan cheeses, meats, butters etc. and they are hands down the BEST I have ever had ever. Grab a toastie, a coffee and some cheese to go- you won’t regret it! The shamembert is legit to die for!

the fittest burger i have ever eaten - Edit
Visited black rabbit cafe today with a friend today and we ate our food sitting in the Meadows, since it has such a great location being near to the main campus as well. The place is 100% vegan (woo!!) and has such a massive menu, considering it is only a tiny location. You can see the food being literally made in front of you, fresh ingredients and quickly prepared.
Read moreI ate the mushroom and blue cheese burger and it was absolutely amazing (caramelized onions and rocket also brought it to whole other level of beauty). Will deffo be going back to try some other items on the menu asap .... also to note they sell cruffins and carrot cake in the baked goods counter which looked stunning. Both my friend and I were blown away by the taste and it is also good to support small, independent businesses right now.
Pros: amazing food, cruffins !!, freshly made and quick
Cons: absolutely nothing, should open up at different locations
