Vegan heaven - Edit
I believe that if heaven exists, it must look like this shop! Just brilliant. Their sweet treats and other in-house baked goodies are just unbelievable. Almond croissant being my personal favourite.
Read moreAlso, they probably have the best selection of vegan cheese in Scotland. I love blue cheese but never tasted an acceptable vegan alternative, until I discovered Black Rabbit. Their veganzola literally took my breath away, tasted like the real thing!
They also stock other products I haven't seen elsewhere in Scotland. Really unique.
The owners are incredibly nice and helpful.
Pros: Incredible sweets, Nice owners, The best selection of vegan cheese
Cons: Almost no seating

Fantastic! An amazing addition to Edinburgh - Edit
After months of hearing great things about Black Rabbit, I finally made it in earlier this month. We got some absolutely delicious food to take away and eat on the Meadows (breakfast roll and tofu Benedict) as well as plenty of artisan vegan cheeses and bacon to take home with us. The veganzola cheese has been a real highlight for me as I used to love blue cheese before I went vegan! We will definitely be back.

Cozy and Friendly - Edit
My mom and I visited in the evening to get a few treats. We got a chocolate mint (cupcake) and a Cranachan. They were both absolutely delicious!
Read moreWe also bought an almond croissant and a chocolate croissant for tomorrow's breakfast. The owner kindly told us how best to preserve it and warm it up.
We loved the interesting coffee mug designs as well. Would definitely recommend to stop by and try what they have to offer.
Pros: Very friendly owners, Warm and cozy

Quick brunch - Edit
I wanted to see and try something from top Happy Cow bakery/cafe in Edi. My intention was to sit down and enjoy coffee with something from menu. That morning they were full so I decided for takeaway option. They made my bagel in front of me so I could see that they are making really filling bagel for me with great ingredients. I really enjoyed my bagel and definitely will come again to try something sweet. The owner was great, calm and quick.
Read morePros: Lots of options, You can goods home
Cons: Small I would love to enjoy the place

Amazing food and friendly service! - Edit
I had the bacon and egg roll which was incredible!! So tasty and came with a lovely celery soup. My partner had the double tofu Benedict which he was very very impressed by (he couldn’t stop going on about it all day!). I also had one of the biscoff brioche knots which was basically perfection. The staff were so friendly and it was a super cute cafe. Will definitely be going again!

We visited the black rabbit and we wanted to try everything as the menu looks great! We had the hungry rabbit and it was absolutely delicious, we also tried the tofu Benedict with bacon and it was the best thing I had since going vegan! We also shared a cruffin and it was truly amazing! Sadly we live far away but the next time we visit Edinburgh we’ll definitely come back!!

Best desserts - Edit
All the food here is good, but I swear their baked goods are made with some kind of wizardry. Try the cruffins. Try everything, but definitely try the cruffins.

Awesome food! Friendly vibe! - Edit
Award winning savoury scones with homemade cashew butter. Vegan egg and bacon roll is delicious, as is the quiche of the day with kale salad. Egg Benedicts with bacon was out of this world! The biscoff cruffins are original and so good! So much to choose from this is my new favourite lunch spot and after work hang out. Nice vibe with good music and they care about the environment too!
