Spectacular! - Edit
Staff was really lovely and made us very welcome and comfortable. Ordered the fully vegan and gluten free breakfast, my hubby the tofu burger. Also green smoothie and a Karma Cola. For dessert, the Ferrero pie. Everything was soooo tasty!!! Highly recommended!!! It is in a hidden spot, but so cool.

Good tasty vegan burgers and cakes 🧁 - Edit
Tucked away just below the street you’ll find Holy Cow! And Holy Cow the food was good and filling! Went for an oyster mushroom burger and banoffee cake!
Read moreI can tell you one thing! Be prepared to be stuffed, if you order a main course and a cake that is!
The burger was really tasty and the fries were good if you like thick cut fries! Had a nice crispy texture (the oyster mushrooms) and just very pleasant to eat!

Not tasty - Edit
I had the avo toast which came on bread which appeared home made, I really didn’t enjoy it as it was bland and a weird texture, and wasn’t able to eat the meal. I ordered this with a cappuccino which came to £18.
Read moreI was quite disappointed and felt like a waste of money.
The staff however were very lovely and I did feel bad that I couldn’t eat the food.
Pros: Nice environment
Cons: Bland, Wasn’t able to eat it

Flavourless burger and undercooked chips - Edit
We got a burger each but found them so disappointing! The mushrooms had no flavour and the kidney bean and soya patte was mushy and tiny on the bun so half the bites were just bread. The chips were also undercooked.
Read moreDon’t like to give vegan places bad reviews but we just felt being served this would put people off if they were just trying it out.
The server was lovely and we didn’t try the cakes, maybe they are nicer than the main menu. I’m suprised to see all the high reviews, maybe be caught them on a bad day?
Pros: Server friendly, It’s vegan
Cons: No flavour, Undercooked chips, Soggy burger patte

Great restaurant with interesting meals - Edit
Little, cozy restaurant. I had a pulled jackfruit burger and a piece of mango cheesecake which tasted really good. They could do with a bit more fries for the price of the burger, but other than that everything was great😄

Great location, amazing food. - Edit
We came on a lovely summers day and sat outside with the sun right in our faces. We ordered and the food was promptly sent out and it was definitely full of flavour. The ruben sandwich was my first ever vegan version of this meal and it did not disappoint!

Amazing food! - Edit
I had the all vegan breakfast and it was divine. My friends had sandwiches which were also great. To top it off, I had one of the best vegan cheesecakes of my life.

Not amazed - Edit
Firstly they don't serve any alcohol, not even non-alcoholic beer which I find very strange, since I like to have it for launch.
Read moreSo I wanted to order a chai latte - they didn't have it at the moment.
I ordered a mushroom steak burger. It should have sweet potato chips regarding the menu, but they bring just normal chips.
The burger was kinda bland, nothing special. Half of the burger was basically just a bun with a sauce, because the mushroom was kinda small. I wasn't satisfied with the food either.
The only plus was the stuff, the waitresses were nice, which is the only reason I am giving an average score. I would not go again.
Pros: Stuff, Bio ketchups on the table
Cons: Missing items from menu, No (even non-alcoholic) beer

Good food and great portions - Edit
The menu is not very long but the food is great. Burgers are big and not ordinary. The best part for me was the cake! They all looked great. Prices are slightly high but good value

Delicious sandwiches! - Edit
I ate the Ruben sandwich (vegan cheddar, pastrami, saerkraut and some kind of russian sauce) and my companion ate the Beetroot sandwich (roasted beetroot, rocket, walnuts and vegan feta). We really liked our sandwiches! Also, the place was really cute and service was friendly!❤️🌱
Read moreA word of warning: the portions were big! I can assure that you will not leave with an empty stomach!😄

It's open when you need it! - Edit
Visited twice on my latest trip to Edinburgh as the gallery I'd been at had sold out of their single vegan cake option (?!) so knew I could come back here.
Read moreHad tried a burger for the first time the night before - reminded me of a McDonald's burger but healthy and vegan! Amazingly done and unexpected from the description but very nice.
It's brilliantly open until 10pm so great when you're wanting food/drinks throughout the afternoon and evening.
Large portion sizes, friendly staff. Had some good music on when I was there too.
It's so nice to have actual options and to think you're eating decent food.
Enriching. Lovely.

Fabulous, healthy options - Edit
I just LOVE it when vegan restaurants/cafes actually serve VEGGIES. We loved every single item we tried here. Shame we had no room for dessert because the cheesecakes looked amazing.

Massive burgers, friendly staff. - Edit
Nothing not to like here -absolutely huge burgers and a really delightful woman working the front. Meals came out in a pretty quick manner and felt healthy to eat, which you really don’t get too often getting a vegan burger. Highlights were definitely the buns, really great texture and delish! If I have any critiques, it’s that I would describe the flavour as reliable - not the greatest burger I’ve ever had, but it was absolutely massive and really fresh ingredients were used.
Read moreWe got the qtr pounder and the mushroom steak burger, both solid options. Recommend an autumn spice tea to finish with - really helped all the food to sit well.
Pros: Autumn spiced tea, Mushroom steak burger , Qtr pounder burger
Cons: Price point is quite high

Big portions - Edit
When I arrived there was a bigger table that had just done their ordering so unfortunately for me it was 15 minutes until I ordered. The good did come out fast once I did order. The tofu burger was delicious, big portion. The bun (made in house I believe) was very dense and sweet. The burger did fall apart 2 bites in but nothing a knife and fork can’t help with.
Read morePros: Food was delicious
Cons: Wait time to order

Loved it - Edit
We came back here three days in a row because we loved the food so much. Our highlights were the Oyster Mushroom Burger (to die for) and the Scottish Breakfast (delicious all around). The Chocolate Cherry Cake deserves special mention as well. Staff was lovely and attentive too and the interior is cozy. Big recommendation all around!

Delicious vegan cafe - Edit
Went here for lunch. Their soup of the day was one of the best soups I've had, and their chips are really good!
Read moreFriendly staff and nice atmosphere made this 5 stars for me. Bit of an odd selection of cakes - only one wasn't a cheesecake!? But I suppose they rotate the options and usually that wouldn't be the case.

Decent vegan spot - Edit
I liked the food I ordered even though it was nothing special. We had to wait for long to be served and the service in general was really chaotic and unprofessional, they even forgot first to bring us the cutlery and then the water.
