Yum!

Just stopped by for a late lunch, and once again, it was outstanding. I chose the special: a fantastic breakfast burrito. Feeling indulgent, I also ordered a side of mac and cheese. This place consistently impresses with its delicious food, wonderful staff, and daily specials that never disappoint.

Hi Craig!

Thanks for leaving a review and it's always nice to chat to you at events.

It's incredibly difficult to plan how many portions to bring to events and what will be the most popular dish.

Falkirk Vegan Festival was more popular than anyone could have hoped for and therefore we sold out of things more quickly than expected.

See you at more events soon!

Really nice sandwiches

We had a special at the time and a haggis melt. Can’t stop thinking about the haggis one, so good! Also picked up a couple of bits of cake that were really nice too. Doggy friendly which is a bonus too!

Breakfast of champions

Ordered the buttermilk chicken sandwich and the faux McMuffin. Both delicious. Both specials. Have been back since and tried the Reuben sandwich, which did not disappoint. Very friendly staff too, who are clearly passionate about the food they are serving. 10/10

Sweet Treats

Super cute eatery with very friendly staff. The 3 of us shared a maple pecan Danish, a lemon cake and a carrot and pistachio cake, which were absolutely delicious 😋.

Amazing lunch spot

Tasty roasties and very yummy mac and cheese! I always get the Rueben (because it’s amazing) but next time I will change things up!

It’s one of those places that you are so excited when you go for the first time because it’s so so good

The BEST vegan sandwiches

Faceplant has been a favourite for a long time. If you’re looking for tasty, filling, well made vegan comfort food then this is the place.
You also have to try the lemon cake, it’s unreal.

Pros: Always amazing , Great options , Lovely staff

I travel over an hour once a week to get my fix

Plenty of delicious options plus weekly specials kept me coming back week after week to try something new. No menu item should be slept on, they are all incredible, however the mac and cheese is possibly in a league of its own. Everything is made fresh and although the space is small, it's very cosy and very friendly.

Pros: Friendly staff + pet friendly, Weekly specials, Consistently good and varied options

BEST VEGAN FOOD I’VE EVER HAD

I’ve been going here once a week for about 8 months. I have tried pretty much everything on the menu and honestly I can’t say they’ve ever missed the mark. The food is INSANELY good. They make all their own cheese and meat in house which is so rare . I tried the Mac and cheez Sando with bacon on my third visit because I saw it had won awards and honestly, I don’t think I could go a single week without eating one. The grilled sandwiches are addictive. The Crunchwrap with chicken is another star of the menu. Kimcheeze is delicious, tuna melt is insane!!!! Must visit for Edinburgh

Pros: EVERYTHING on the menu is great, Hot staff , V chill ambiance

Cons: Too much banjo music

The only Toasties

Unbelievable toasties. My lad had the haggis version while I went the kimchi. Ridiculously tasty and filling. I will return to Australia dreaming of these toasties.

Pros: Delicious, Variety of plant based toasties , Value for $

Very tasty / excellent customer service

Had brunch with a friend, and the food was tasty (grilled mac and cheese). I highly recommend it! It's also dog-friendly; they have very cheap dog biscuits, and our dog loved it! Please support local vegan businesses like this lovely place 🖤

Pros: Food , Service , Dog friendly

Great vegan cafe/bistro

Great find, always love full Vegan options and business’s.
I’m a real foodie and cook so high standards.

Pros: Great comfort food, Good options, Loved the ambiance and music

Cons: Maybe more seasoning-eg garlic in ceaser salad , Some small salad with sandwiches instead of crisp.

Hi!

So glad you seemed to enjoy your visit to our wee business.

Just to clarify a couple of your Cons: firstly, there is garlic in the Caesar salad dressing.
Secondly, it's a choice to add a side to your sandwich. The choices we offer are crisps, salad or Mac 'n' Cheese. Sorry if this wasn't clear enough!

Thanks for your review!

First time, will be back!

This was our first visit and we were impressed by the menu instantly with the variety. The first vegan restaurant with a decent salad selection too.

The cafe is small, so get there early if you want a seat. The staff are very friendly and the food was delicious. We will be back when we visit Leith again.

Pros: Decent salad options, Wide selection of options, Nice staff

Cons: Not many healthy options, No bathroom.

Visited at last!

Having bought Faceplant cheeze for a few years, it was great to finally visit the cafe and takeaway.
Food just brilliant! Worth the drive across Edinburgh for.
I’ll be back when next in the city 🥑😃

Best vegan fast food in Edinburgh

Everything at FacePlant is amazing, not only the food, but the staff are pretty damn good too. It's lovely to be remembered every time I go back. My very favourite is the Reuben sandwich. I challenge you to find anything that tastes better! Although I have to admit, their chik'n is amazingly tasty and hard to resist.

Very cravable food

There's a reason the mac n cheese toastie is award winning! A must if you're in leith. Also reccomend trying to find them at the market for their market only specials. Truly delicious food. I wish they were open more though, it can be tough to get out to leith during the weekends when I'm working usually.

Pros: Delicious food, Award winning, Friendly staff

Cons: Limited hours, Limited seating
