Nice filling breakfast - Edit
I had the pancakes with maple syrup, whipped cream and berries and a cappuccino. Very tasty and filling but they weren't transparent with the price (they added 1,3 £ for the cream and berries and a 10% service charge on the total)

Nice spot - Edit
Themed like an American diner. Quite a lot of vegan options but I went for the chilli cheese fries which were the best I’ve ever had. Reasonably priced too!

Friendly vegan brekkie spot - Edit
Had a lovely experience at the City Cafe - the staff were so nice and very helpful regarding allergens. More than happy to adapt the vegan breakfast to make
Read moreIt gluten-free. They had gluten-free tattie scones which, honestly, nearly made my cry as I haven’t been able to find any gf ones in the past 7 years! Tasty all-day vegan brekkie with tons of other vegan options available (all clearly labelled). Gluten-free menu is available on request. Would recommend as a post-night out, or relaxed Sunday brunch spot.
Pros: Super friendly staff, Very helpful w/ allergens, Lots of vegan options/separate gf menu

Return to a favourite - Edit
We seem to always come here for the vegan breakfast, they offer a regular or large. There is a lot on the plate, it's nothing special but it sets you up for the rest of the day.

One of my go to places - Edit
I somehow end up at this place a lot. I think it's one of the best city centre options for vegans as you'll always find a table. Many different vegan options like pancakes, hot dogs, burgers, nachos, milk shakes. Usually has stuff on, too like a pub quiz or free bingo. I think it's a great place, especially when with Omnis or at the weekend when everything else is packed. Also recommend trying the Woo Woo 😋

Pretty good - Edit
Good number of clearly labeled options of every type. The vegan chili cheese fries were pretty good. They were out of vegan milkshake though. I’d come again. But nothing extraordinary.

not bad but not great - Edit
This place is themed like an American diner, which I find quite charming. I had the full vegan breakfast when I went, which was pretty good, but nothing incredible. I was also a little bummed that they had milkshakes on the menu, but none of them were vegan. I’d go back, but it wouldn’t be my first choice for breakfast.

Cons: no vegan milkshakes :(

Decent - Edit
Food was okay, the veggie haggis was good and I enjoyed my meal. My friend had rice and chips and wasn't impressed as the chips got cold quickly. Service was a bit slow and overall wasn't really worth it.

Avoid ! - Edit
Avoid ! On a recent trip back home to the Edinburgh ordered 2 vegan bounty with whipped cream milkshakes from the vegan milkshake menu . It arrived with a bounty in the cream. Bounty’s are not vegan as contain milk ! When I asked they said the bounty is vegan! It was an actual bounty like the ones you buy in the shops aa it had the bounty inscribed on the bottom. The cream was not vegan! After one taste I know straight away. When I asked about the cream they said it was not vegan! Ordered vegetable fajitas, yeh vegetables were soaked in water and had not been grilled more like boiled, no taste, tortillas were hard and rubbery. A really poor experience.

Not bad - Edit
To be honest, wasn’t expecting much in light of the other reviews but the large vegan breakfast and vegan pancakes were decent. No sausage with the breakfast which is a bit weird. But tasted nice, filling and the coffee was okay too. Service was okay, nothing special. Menu outside the cafe.
Read morePros: Several vegan options
Cons: A bit grubby, Slow service

OK for a place to sit in to eat whilst with omnis - Edit
This is an American style diner with a few clearly labelled vegan options. They have soya milk and a fried vegan breakfast. It isn't the best vegan fry up I have had by far, but it wasn't the worst. It could have done with a veggie sausage, although it was nice they had vegan spread and veggie haggis. Overall a little bland and nothing special but I still enjoyed the overall experience and it was nice they have made the effort to have an option and at least add veggie haggis.

Alright at best - Edit
Omni place with a few vegan options. Diner itself is a bit grubby and has a 50’s American theme to it. Service wasn’t the best had to wait a while to be noticed and seated. None of the vegan shakes on the menu were available and the quality of the food wasn’t the best either. The descriptions on the menu were over promised and the food undelivered. Over priced considering what you get. I paid £3 for a small cup of herbal tea.

Good atmosphere - Edit
Popped in as we were going to the comedy club next door and wanted to grab something to eat quickly beforehand - staff were all very friendly and there were a few different vegan options available, including milkshakes! Good atmosphere and good food.

Fun place to eat - Edit
City Café is fun. The vegan full breakfast was really nice, well prepared and very tasty. I’d definitely go there again. The normal size breakfasts are huge, certainly no need to go for the larger version!
