Delicious breakfast

We had the full vegan Scottish breakfast. It was really delicious. The sausages were really tasty. And it includes a vegan Haggis. Highly recommended. It's worth 5 stars. Location is more like a fast food restaurant but the food is really delicious.

Expensive for what it is

Used to love this place but prices have crept up and quality has gone down. A small breakfast was £7.50 takeaway (£9 sit in). They'd run out of mushrooms so got a hash brown instead, but looking at other pics, they must have been low on tomatoes, beans and haggis too as we only got tiny amounts! I feel quite ripped off! Not any better than a breakfast anywhere else. Sausage is tasty though!

Great place for breakfast

Super delicious vegan options. Hat the big vegan breakfast and loved it with every bite. Also have oat milk for coffee. Limited places to sit and you have to pay 20% extra for sitting in but it was totally worth it😄

Pros: Vegan options , Good coffee , Nice staff :)

Cons: Limited places to sit, little bit uncomfortable

Amazing vegan breakfast.

This little cafe has a good vegan menu, at least 6 to 8 options on it. We ordered a small version of their breakfast which had sausage, haggis, tattie scone, beans, toast, mushrooms and sausages. It was gorgeous and my first time having vegan haggis.

Pros: Good range of options, Vegan haggis

Perfect post night out brekkie

Vegan sausages some of the best I’ve ever had! Very pleasantly surprised with quality of oat chai latte too!
Overall just very tasty, nothing fancy cafe food. Was nice sat outside with views of the hills and the city too.

pretty good breakfast

This place is pretty good and has outdoor seating, so it’s a nice place to go when the weather is pretty. I had the vegan breakfast, and while I liked it, it wasn't my favorite. Also, their vegan menu is pretty small, which was unfortunate.

Decent breakfast

The food was alright, but a bit dry. Employees are nice, but it's not the best place to chill around for breakfast. I'd love to live near there and grab some of the stuff they sell in bulk for my own place.

Pros: Good vegan options, Bulk options , Friendly staff

Cons: Expensive, Not so cozy for a breakfast place

Amazing how tasty this was.

Delicious link sausages and i think prices are good. Very helpful and kind people working here:)
The only downside for us was the seating. There is little space to sit. Its a bit more for when you want breakfast, brunch or lunch (a delicious one though) and not take too much time.

One of the best vegan fry ups ever

One of the best vegan breakfasts I have ever had, the homemade vegan sausages I think are my favourite ever vegan sausages. I wish I lived in Edinburgh so that I could go here all the time!

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Great value, Amazing vegan sausages

Cons: Not a lot of seating to sit in

Would have given 5 stars

… if I could. We’ve come here for years, always friendly service, always cracking food, always a bit of banter. We get their Christmas hamper too and it’s amazing that they homemake all their vegan ‘sausage and meat’ products. Bit off the beaten track but absolutely worth the walk / drive.

Updated from previous review on 2017-10-05

Pros: Homemade everything, Reasonable prices for take out, Friendly, reliable service

Cons: You pay VAT on sitting in, Bit off the beaten track

Best vegan breakfast

I would give 5stars if I could! I met my now husband here on our first date, and our last trip was with our beautiful wee daughter ⭐️😍. The vegan breakfast is ALWAYS so so good, particularly the homemade sausage which I don’t think you can beat! We had the mini Christmas box last year which was delicious and we’ve ordered another one for this year! Highly recommend ⭐️

Pros: Friendly staff , Homemade sausage - made in the shop, Decent size portions

Deserves 5 stars!

BBL is a classic greasy spoon and the best place in Edinburgh for a cooked breakfast. Their menu has an extensive vegan range, all of it made with love and care. The homemade vegan sausage is the best I've ever tasted.

The food from here is honestly so nice. We've had the mini box a couple of times and everything is vegan. You get - soya milk, link sausages, lorne sausages, burgers, bacon, mushrooms, tomatoes, roast and potato scones

Pros: All vegan, Lovely staff, Delicious

Cons: Bit pricey but worth it

Tried a Vegan Lorne and Tattie Scone roll and it was delicious. The Beyond Meat of Vegan Lorne, imo.

Lovely friendly little place to visit

Lovely little cafe to eat in or takeaway. Great breakfast and lunch options. All vegan food made fresh in store. Can even buy vegan sausage, bacon, kebab meat amongst other things to take home and cook. Breakfast was gorgeous for £6.40 and washed down with a lovely latte made with oat milk. Plan to go back for vegan kebab if I get chance. Sweet treats available too. Definitely recommend a visit if you're in the area

Pros: Lots of vegan options and great value

Cons: Not much seating

Must Stop for Traditional Breakfast

We very much wanted to try a veganized Scottish breakfast and this place delivered! There isn’t a lot of seating, and it is only counter service but the staff is great and it’s a good deal (£9 for full breakfast and latte).

Pros: Traditional options veganized, Affordable

Cons: Table service only , Limited seating

Most fantastic vegan breakfast ever!

Absolutely delicious full vegan breakfast, complete with vegan haggis! Also very affordable. Two full vegan breakfasts, an Americano and a tea for about £18. Good selection of vegan milks too. There are other even cheaper options for breakfast as well, including breakfast bagels.

The lady behind the counter was so welcoming and friendly. Whilst we were there a group of European tourists came in who were struggling to understand the menu and the explained everything in such a kind way, even bringing out examples to show them!

Cracking little spot but be aware that there is limited seating and no toilet facility.

Pros: Excellent food, Brilliant value , Lovely staff

Cons: Limited seating , No toilet facilities
