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!

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.

Maryam alFalahi

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

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.

Meriel Graham

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

Hannah Young

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

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.

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.

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!

Chloe Crowe

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

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.

Pum Vaandrager

Great food with good gluten free and vegan options.

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.

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.

Sarah R

Delicious food, and great for celiacs / gluten free.

Cristopher Merino

Very good food, with gluten free options

Lisa Cunningham

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

Briony Stewart

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

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!

Devraj Dutt

I went here early one morning since Google recommended this place for gluten free food. The food was ok but the experience was not great. First I was told that I had ordered take away and if I wanted to eat in the shop, there would have to be a 20% surcharge. Then the receipt provided was not properly written, both the items on order show as "VAT" on the receipt. So my experience was not great. I would recommend you try other places if you are looking for a gluten free meal

Corentin

Great place, warm. Very good gluten free option with no cross contamination.

David D

Fabulous food, great veggie, vegan and gluten free options

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

Dot Holmes

We only had a snack which was adequate. I didn't see anything gluten free advertised. Staff were friendly and the atmosphere was relaxed.

Saara Husso

Lovely chocolate theme cafe ❤ I recommend! Easy to get glutenfree food

Grainne Rr

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

Abdullah Al kattan

Very good place to have a breakfast and to have some gluten free bread

F C

Beautiful place, lovely staff, yummy gluten free cake. Thank you.

SJ Barlow

Great lil breakfast spot that caters to vegan and gluten free diets!

James Wallace

Lovely gluten free pancakes. Good service. Faultless experience

Fiona

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

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!

Chris Franklin

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

H Oh

I was hungover and underslept. They looked after me very well. Also they have gluten free bread options for sandwiches, and smoothies. Will be back.

Kailee Browning

We enjoyed eating our poached eggs on toast at this location. We sat outside and our waitress was very kind. They have gluten free bread available and a few gluten free pastries.

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.

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!

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.

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!

Alden Phinney

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

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.

Aileen Kelleher

It was expensive but great food. Gluten-free options.

Shubhaa

A hidden gem in Edinburgh, a very cozy environment that breathes creativity. Nice food with options for veggie and gluten free, a very nice coffee, friendly welcoming staff and artwork on the walls. Oh and plenty of board games and books to enjoy! Didn't try the cakes but they looked amazing!

Freya

My favourite cafe! I always recommend it. Often very busy with students and laptops so it's often difficult to find a seat, and often small groups taking up large tables (nothing to do with the establishment itself but something to be aware of) would love it if they had more gluten free food

j kat

Lovely smoothie, gluten free Victoria sponge!! The young man working at the counter was lovely 🥰

Karim Duterme-Sab

Very nice place to stumble upon while visiting the cathedral area. Cosy place, lovely staff and good coffee. I was even able to indulge in some sweets thanks to their delicious gluten free brownie. 100% recommand !

Ursula Dodunski

Really disappointing experience. Made a booking for a large group for dinner and drinks. Limited space available despite communicating the group size. Very poor service. Lots of miscommunication from the servers, some saying we can order food from the restaurant and bar and some only saying bar. GF guest told they were out of all snacks and that they don’t do gluten free options only to be then told if you come back in 5-10 we may be able to help you. Long waits for drinks and probably the worst expresso martini. Do not recommend.

Emma Zglinicki

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