Angela Weston

Fabulous carrot gluten free carrot cake

Olivia C

The service here is incredible and the staff are very knowledgeable on gluten free meals and how they adapt their menu to fit GF needs. If we were staying longer I’d be back here for breakfast again!

Maryam alFalahi

Delicious food, lovely atmosphere and very sweet staff. One of the best brunch spots in Edinburgh. lots of gluten free options available.

Finley Kilmartin

Yeah just lovely, I had the slow beef brisket sandwich, my partner who is coeliac had the frittata. We sat outside, the staff were lovely. All around positive.

Natalia Fernandez Caja

The food is incredible, you can tell they are Italian. They have gluten-free pasta options although there isn't much to choose from. It comes in a VERY small quantity for the price, but it is very very delicious for a treat-meal.

Hannah Young

Had the most amazing blueberry matcha, and great toast (gluten free option) that was very tasty. Such friendly staff.

Ailsa Kent

Loved this place. It was a rainy morning and we popped in for breakfast. The dining space is light and airy. The staff were friendly and attentive. The food was prompt and hot. Coffee was tasty. Would go back tomorrow if we were still in town. Photos are of the Porty Smash and Poached Eggs on Toast with crispy bacon. Gluten free bread option available with really decent sized slices of GF bread, which made a nice change.

Martin Baumeister

Absolutely delicious vegan and gluten-free breakfast. You have two options for breakfast. One is the regular full breakfast that contains gluten and the other one is gluten-free variance of the full breakfast. We went with the gluten-free, which was excellent! Great selection of coffee and tea drinks as well. Very friendly service as well! Cute outside patio!

Jill Simpson-Vince

Our server Elizabeth was great at understanding my daughter needed gluten free. Service from all staff was great, food arrived quickly and was very good. Would definitely recommend and next time we are in Edinburgh would go back.

Meriel Graham

Fantastic breakfast. Had the gluten free option of the full breakfast. Would highly recommend!

Pum Vaandrager

Great food with good gluten free and vegan options.

Donna Avery

Loved this surprise find! Stumbled in here looking for something warm to drink and got this mulled wine and gluten free carrot cake.

L.

Very tasty food, also a special menu for gluten-free dishes. The friendly staff pointed out possible cross-contamination due to the small kitchen. Highly recommended.

Chloe Crowe

Best gluten and dairy free bagel and cake I have had in a very long time! Really good vegan looking options too.

Ignacio Marin

Adapted gluten-free breakfasts, without contamination. They give you gluten-free bread if you want and the menu says what does NOT contain gluten. Celiacs, you can have breakfast in peace, my celiac wife was not contaminated.

SJ Barlow

Yummy lentil and lime soup. Vegan and gluten free! Took it to go since they were about to close and found a spot up the street to enjoy, Middle Meadow Walk.

Sarah R

Delicious food, and great for celiacs / gluten free.

F S

I'm gluten-intolerant and the restaurant provides a separate menu for glutenfree food, with loads of options. What a delight to just be able to choose anything without having to think! Very tasty Italian food à la nonna and nice, cozy atmosphere. We had a wonderful time, thank you!

David D

Fabulous food, great veggie, vegan and gluten free options

Briony Stewart

Best gf fry-up!! So unassuming, very knowledgeable staff, and great food!

Cristopher Merino

Very good food, with gluten free options

Penny P.

I initially was recommended a “small family-run” cafe to visit, but without a name, I was left guessing which of the hundreds of cafe in Edinburgh it was. Regardless, I went in out of curiosity. Upon walking down the stairs and entering the venue, a warmth of comfort engulfed me. Both from the atmosphere and the people serving. For the two times I was there, I got a dish and a drink. The homemade hot chocolate was definitely the one that stood out the most. Just absolutely rich in flavour. Their carrot and cumin soup was also splendid alongside their bread. Definitely a can’t miss when it’s the soup of the day alongside one of the sandwiches. Definitely a lot of variety of dishes and I appreciate the dietary customisation options such as gluten-free and diary-free alternatives. Decent variety of vegetarian options. I did take notice that a lot of options had avocados. I guess that’s a pretty popular ingredient.

Katia M

Freshly prepared tasty food, gluten free, dairy free and vegan option. Good choice of non-alcoholic drinks including a lovely iced matcha, home made sodas in various flavours, hot chocolate and the usual coffee drinks

Chris Franklin

Lovely cafe - great staff and food options (including options form coeliacs). Recommended.

Lisa Cunningham

Great as always with some of the best tapas I've had with gluten free options and delicious wine.

Abigail Perkins

Pictured is the G.O.A.T. and Ham & cheese savoury crêpes. We were walking around Edinburgh and were looking for a last minute breakfast spot that offered gluten free options. Staff was very friendly and the crepes were yummy.

Alden Phinney

Amazing brunch with great gluten free and vegetarian options, best cappuccino I've had all year!

David Wood

I've tried DD's in 3 places now and it's been good every time. The menu changes frequently as does the location though the vibe of the cafe in Marchmont is great for brunch. The fried chicken is nice and crispy and a real treat if avoiding gluten (and also if not!). I highly recommend the Korean waffle if it's available (pictured at the Bellfield gf brewery popup). Very interesting flavours and not something you see everyday even with gluten. They even sometimes have guest pop-ups themselves in Marchmont which is a brilliant idea.

Hayley Forsythe

We enjoyed a lovely breakfast to go. Gluten free pancakes and a breakfast burrito. Lovely service and great start to our day. Will be back!

Erica Josephine

Nice coffee, good gluten free options, everyone is friendly! Been a few times and always lovely

Anna Franziska Fitz

A great cafe for afternoon tea. Everything was incredibly tasty and it's really great that you can get everything gluten-free. Plus the incredibly friendly staff. The café is an absolute recommendation!

Grainne Rr

Such a good place to eat. Great food and excellent service. Gluten free pasta option is a bonus

Emma Zglinicki

Plenty of great Scottish dishes to pick from, and they had gluten free options for myself which is very appreciated!

James Wallace

Lovely gluten free pancakes. Good service. Faultless experience

Liz Sanford

Cute and delicious! Very friendly staff. I had a wonderful vegan soup with bread (pictured). Lots of vegan and gluten free options to choose from. The space is fairly small so seating was a bit limited, but the weather was nice and we enjoyed sitting at a table outside!

James Seldon

Delicious food, good gluten free options, standard Edinburgh prices. Friendly service! Gets busy so either book or you may have to wait to be seated

Efthymia Koutroumanou

🌟💯Great cozy Greek spot in Edinburgh! #musttry Food is delicious and they offer plenty of plant based and gluten free options as well! Their cakes are also homemade 🌟☺️ Popi, the owner is fantastic! The whole vibe is cozy and friendly! Qupi is one of the reasons I am visiting Leith even I live far away! The also have the famous Freddo espresso! Can’t wait to visit again!

Jo Alexander

They had gluten free and vegan options. Baby friendly as has high chair (with an attached tray) and baby changing (though down some stairs so might be difficult for some people to manage) plus when we were there a lovely member of staff came over and gave us a reusable bowl and spoon to us and then some entertainment for the little one.

j kat

Got a great gluten free toastie and some smoothies!! Will definitely be back ♡♡

Katia M

Gluten free options available, i recommend the little polenta cakes, so delicious that I forgot to take a photo… The coffee is OK. The atmosphere is good if you do not mind crowded and noisy cafes with many children.

Fiona

Lovely wee cafe, really good coffee and gluten free carrot cake

Alessia Forlano

Really good food with vegetarian, vegan and gluten free options! Very helpful and attentive staff. Wonderful atmosphere, I could have stayed all day! Thank you ❤️

Liz Sanford

Cannot recommend this place highly enough! Best afternoon tea experience in a gorgeous setting. Extremely fair price for the amount of food you get and the quality. I picked this place because it has a fully vegan afternoon tea menu as well as a gluten free one, which was perfect for our group. Everything on the vegan menu was delicious and beautiful (see picture)! Our server, Mya, went above and beyond. She was so helpful and friendly - also a fellow Swiftie! We really enjoyed chatting with her!

Johanna Vonvogelsang

We stumbled upon it by accident, but I really enjoyed myself. I have celiac and they took it very serious. They prepared my food in a separate pan and assured me that they would do everything they can to make sure what I eat is safe. They were very nice and sweet! The food was really good and I would definitely recommend it if you cant have gluten.

Gabby

The gluten free orange cake is amazing! I always go there for that, but I am sure other food is as great! Of course, the coffee is delicious too, and great atmosphere! Today was busy, and yet they were very efficient.

Alfonso Byfield

Sandra Glasier

Brilliant little coffee shop, with gluten-free options. The coffee was lovely. The staff were very nice and friendly

Stephen Auerbach

Excellent bakery and lunch food, and great selection of gluten free baked goods. And very pleasant service!

Carys Proudfoot

such a cute little cafe. love that it’s open so late as well. the dirty chai was one of the best i’ve had! not too much seating inside but if you can get a spot it’s definitely worth it! the staff was all super friendly and nice, also offered free cucumber/lemon water :) some tables have a “no laptop on this table” sign which i love so that not everyone is typing away :). they have lots of food options, including gluten free! would definitely recommend this and will be back again xx
