Super friendly service, very delicious sandwiches, most dishes available gf. Gluten free. Also a quiter place, a bit out of the touristic zones. We have been here every day we spend in edinburgh! ... okay, 2 days, so only twice, but still !

Akshay Patel

Really nice gluten-free fish and chips, and nice selection of soft drinks and beer.

Rachel Dawes

Excellent GF fish and chips, best I’ve had in Scotland! Dedicated fryer, be sure to add the GF/malt free vinegar, delicious!

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!

A hyped up place on lots of GF/DF Edinburgh blogs. The staff were friendly and accommodating, Coffe was good, but sadly not a great review from me. Party of 4, prebooked. We arrived hoping for some yummy or interesting breakfasts as the menu seemed to promise. Their gluten free options were limited and the bread served was horrendous quality, not even toasted or buttered?! We paid between £11 and £17 a head. The food was mediocre at best. Would've liked to try the french toast as that looked and smelt amazing!...but it is only available with dairy. Poached eggs tasted of vinegar. I would not recommend the items we chose: za'atar spiced scrambled eggs on toast with spicy hollandaise, fresh coriander & jalapeno salsa - very meh and surprisingly flavourless. poached eggs on toast, + mushrooms + gf bread - tiny mushrooms grilled into oblivion, possibly the worst gf bread ever, untoasted and unbuttered. hummus on sourdough toast with cherry tomatoes, pickled shallots, za'atar, salda verde, capers & crispy chickpeas - the most interesting of all that we ordered, but really needed more salt! Anyone else of hummus being the go-to for vegans?

Victor Desmet

Would certainly recommend this place! Amazing for breakfast and brunch/lunch. I had the Scottish salmon toast, and my gluten intolerant and dairy free friend had the best pancakes. There were a lot of other Gluten free options available! Sweet staff and quick service even though it was quite busy!

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.

Went here yesterday for my sister’s bday. Ordered scrambled egg on toast. It arrived like slop on the plate. Had been done in a microwave and hadn’t been scrambled. Toast was on the side and not buttered with no butter alongside. Completely tasteless. The only thing that saves it is the lovely waitress who was really nice and the gluten free caramel cake which was delicious. Won’t be back though as overpriced and too rustic for my taste.

Meriel Graham

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

Linzi Todd

Amazing Toastada’s, chocolate cake, and scone was amazing too, went back for the Mac Cheese and haggis today. Fantastic going out to eat and knowing you’re completely safe.

Kane Sainsbury

We came here for the final breakfast of a mini break. We were sent over from scran who recommended Hula for allergens. The breakfasts were overpriced and painfully mediocre. I massively resented paying £40 for 2 blah coffees, and 2 plates of avocado toast, one of which was on the crapest gluten free bread available. Sorry Hula, maybe we ordered wrong but really not worth it.

Toria Petrie-Armstrong

Amazing service from the minute we arrived and even a joke with one of the servers as we were leaving 😊 The food options are varied and I did have slight food envy of the table beside me. However my food was amazing, perfect flavour and good quantities. One of friends is a coaliac and there is a separate gluten free menu and they have separate cooking utensils etc in the kitchen to make sure there is no contamination. My other friend is a vegetarian and she liked that there are vegetarian options and vegan options. All in, this is one of my favourite places to eat in Edinburgh

Ezra Asher

If you're Gluten Free, go to the other Singl-end in Garnethill. Merchant City say that they're Coeliac friendly and have GF-available on dishes, but when you order those dishes Gluten Free they then say they have to take a lot of ingredients out. Which would be fine, except when we went the chef refused to do the swaps saying it would be too much work. So despite what my previously excellent experience of Singl-end was (from going to the Garnethill branch), do NOT go to Merchant City if you have Coeliac.

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.

Aly Dalos

Fabulous coffee, great gluten free cakes, and super friendly people!

Sam Stone

Came to this lovely place with some friends who lived nearby and recommended it. Really lovely big open room with loads of windows that look out onto the sea. Very good menu of breakfast/lunch/treat options. Their cake displays by the entrance have an amazing range of different items (including lots that are gluten free/vegan) I had a piece of the carrot cake which was amazing. Not only the best carrot cake I've ever had but also one of the best cakes too. The texture of the cake was perfect and the flavours of the carrot and different spices was also really really good. My wife had a bacon roll which was very nice. Perfectly cooked bacon on a really lovely roll. The staff were all really lovely as well. Our friends had their baby with them so we spent a really long time ordering/eating/cleaning up afterwards and we didn't feel rushed at all (despite an endless queue of people waiting to be seated) We also got some extra carrot cake and other treats to take away which were also really good (Tip - cheaper price of you buy the cakes to take away) Highly recommend this place and we will definitely be back next time we are in the area

Isabel

Lovely treatment, big portions and tasty food. Gluten free options available and some interesting cbd treats. Top!!

Adrián Hurtado

What a lovely place! Great fopd, very very tasted. The soap tasted very good and the mushroom burger was delicious. They have gluten free options.

Height Club Scotland

Smashing wee cafe serving big portions at reasonable prices. Friendly staff, and everything can be made coeliac-friendly (so yes, I added a black pudding to my burger!). Big car park, outside tables (no dogs inside) as well as inside, and we got an inside table with a view of Arthurs Seat 20 miles away!)

Anna Hewett

My family stopped here almost immediately after arriving in Glasgow for the first time. We were exhausted from a long flight, barely standing! The Willow Tea Rooms brought us back to life - it’s rare all of us to enjoy something at the same time, but this won everyone over. Absolute heaven. I got the gluten free traditional afternoon tea and my partner got the savory tea. Our son ate all of his ham and cheese sandwich, which is rare, as he’s very picky. Thrilled with our experience, will be back!

Lynsey Mcintosh

Very pleased to discover this place after a day's travelling! Gorgeous pizza with great, friendly service. Very happy that they offered gluten free and dairy free pizza options too. Free from shakes and puddings were also available. We sat outside as we also had our dog with us- outside heating in sheltered area meant we were warm too. Spent all evening here, enjoying mains, desserts and several rounds of drinks.

Daniel Mcshane

very nice and cosy, delicious sandwiches! I'm gluten free, and both their gf bagels and their soups were amazing!

Brenda fleming

This is one of my safe places that I can eat. The food is amazing and the staff are really lovely and welcoming.

Charlie

Really great for gluten free. Great amount of choice and super tasty. Having dietary restrictions doesn't ever seem like an issue. Coffee was tasty too! And dog friendly almost the perfect cafe. Only improvement would be a second bathroom. One disabled toilet for such a large cafe isn't really enough...

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.

Andy Taylor

Great gluten-free options 👌

Jacintha Canary

Stopped off for a break from driving with my friend. We had sandwiches and lovely gluten-free mint cheesecake. My friend raved about the pocket full of roses tea, and it was divine. The staff were very welcoming and friendly. Oh,and the outside is absolutely lovely with plant pots full of colourful flowers.Weekend will definitely stop here again.

Heidi Israelsen

Wonderful full Scottish Breakfast and Eggs Benedict. They separated out the gluten items for me and even brought us free sodas for the kids. Amazing service and delicious food!

Fiona De Luca

We had visitors 2 were Coeliac and 1 was lactose intolerant and one was vegetarian, the staff could not have been better, GF and vegetarian menu were available and they even adapted something from the main menu for us. The atmosphere, food, service and drinks were amazing, I will definitely be back again. Amazing place, congratulations to you all.

Rob Booth

This place was fantastic, got the last table available for breakfast. They have a full gluten free menu which covered just about everything I could want. I ate a mushroom Benedict which was delicious. Staff super helpful and friendly.

Tia W01

I went with 4 of my friends and the staff were beyond friendly and accommodating, had such a lovely experience! The food was delicious and had great variety for Gluten free and Vegetarian.

Ezra Asher

Brilliant as always!! Great for dealing with allergies. Gluten and Dairy free options. Best milkshakes I've ever had!

Neil Russell

New to the menu - by special request, dairy & gluten free flapjack 👏👏 Absolutely outstanding 😋😋 Thanks so much, Julie

Mikel Revilla

A fantastic place for a cold day, I recommend it 100%. I am also celiac and they have very good control over the gluten issue.

Larry Deyell

Lovely place with loads of gluten-free options. They make a very fine matcha latte.

Lars W.

The best café in Pitlochry. Cozy little place with a huge variety of very good cakes, muffins, cupcakes, scones etc. Lots of vegan and gluten free options. Friendly and attentive staff. Beautiful floral cups and plates. Reasonable prices. Highly recommended.

Aaron Avery

Amazing food, and many gluten free options, including sticky toffee pudding!

Kathryn Boothroyd

The food was delicious. The menu was great, with a lot of gluten-free options, which is rare in my experience of cafes. The cafe itself is beautiful, exhibiting local artists' works (which are for sale). We were driving up to Stirling for our holiday and broke our journey in Jedburgh. We'll visit again on our return journey and see more of the town, too.

Colin Paterson

Great food selection and good service but most importantly for me, great gluten free options.

Emanuel Maxim

Great place for lunch and awesome catering for celiac needs with their GF menu

Katie

Great spot! Amazing selection for vegans, vegetarians and gluten free folks. Fantastic juices and coffee too :)

Fenja Wonderland “May”

This is a cozy cafe with a nice alternative vibe. Where you get delicious looking and tasting food and drinks. Where you can chill out, grab a board game or work on your laptop. It is quite popular, so sometimes in summer you might have to wait and come back as they have 7 tables and ruffly 18 seats. Vegan and gluten-free friendly and always new cool drinks on the menu. Plus I like that they display and sell local arts and crafts.

Jing Z

Good coffee and yummy gluten free cakes. Definitely worth a stop.

Peter Mackenzie

We visited this restaurant just over a week ago (party of five) for dinner and it was exceptional. The food was delicious, plenty of gluten free options, really imaginative dishes, generous servings, and great service - all at reasonable cost given the quality. The best meal I’ve had in quite some time. If you’re in the area, just go. You won’t be disappointed!

Ana Simarro

They are very friendly, and the food is very delicious, they also have vegan and gluten-free products.

Update on an earlier post. This time we dined in the Bath Street entrance version. Saturday lunchtime. Restaurant was very busy yet staff pleasant and helpful, willing to chat and discuss the menu options for a Coeliac member of our party. I was surprised another of the party had a dairy allergy which added to the complications of menu discussion. Starters arrived, looked and tasted great. My own main course a Pizza infernale was huge and delicious. Much better than the cardboard box variety from supermarkets. One of the main reasons for going out for a meal. Properly cooked stuff from professionals. Other members of the party joined in with the delicious notation. Chicken wrapped in ham, summer salad, garlic bread extras shared about the table. We enjoyed the meal and the chat. The atmosphere was very good too. The only issue as the restaurant was very busy, it was also loud and at time the discussions went unanswered or we missed the point in the story.

Kay Crawford

Awesome little cafe. Staff were so lovely and very quick. Lots of gluten free and vegan cake options as well as other food. Coffee was also fantastic. Would visit again :)

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.

Murray Bell

Absolutely delightful. What a place - definitely visit and experience - we bought some nibbles, some gluten free produce, and took in the atmosphere, lovely…
