Tasty snack (open Saturday's) - Edit
There were 4 savoury pies available and 3 sweet pies the day I went. The pastry is light and crispy and the fillings are delicious.

Good for a Snack - Edit
Obviously, this isn't going to be the most life-changing experience you've ever had, but if you're looking for a cheap lunchtime vegetarian snack, The Piemaker has options. They have a tendency for half of the pies to be lukewarm, and the other half to be scaldingly hot, so I don't know if you could maybe ask them which is which before buying...

Hit the spot on a rainy morning - Edit
I'd visited a neearby location that had no vegan food so was delighted to discover I was just a few streets away from hot pie. I tried all the savoury options and would be hard pushed to day which was best. They were all very tasty.

Good fast pastries - Edit
This is a convenient place to grab a tasty pie, sweet or savoury. It's nice that they clearly label the vegan options. There were two savoury and three sweet ones. My Moroccan veg pie was actually more or a pastry, but it really hit the spot.

Disappointing! - Edit
I was excited to try this place and I was disappointed. I tried the Thai curry pie and a sweet apple and raspberry pie. A sign near the pies said they were all hot (even the ones on the racks) but the ones I was given were both cold. The Thai curry filling was nice but tasted strange cold, and the apple raspberry just tasted like jam in supermarket puff pastry. With so many amazing vegan options in Edinburgh I'd give this one a miss.

The Piemaker, Edinburgh - Edit
It's over a year since I've been. There is no doubt in my mind though that there people do some top, top vegan pies to take away. They're open into the evening so it's handy if you are out and about for a drink or 2.

Pros: Excellent vegan pies
Cons: Not 100% vego

Yummy Pies - Edit
Only managed to go on one occasion, during my time in Edinburgh but I purchased a couple of their vegan pies (one of all their vegan options they had available) and found them to be good and warming on a cool morning. I saved a couple for later during the day but found them to be much better when I first bought them as they are a bit oily and didn't sit too well in the bag. Overall it was a simple but nice place to get some quick vegan food in a very close location off the Royal Mile. The pies are diverse in offering and it is impossible for you not to find something that sounds interesting and with multiple vegetarian and vegan options it is unlikely that you will leave disappointed.

Amazing selection of vegan pies - Edit
I really like going to The Piemaker when I need a quick snack on the go because of their delicious vegan pies, of which they have a great range of different flavours. I really like the fact that they go out of their way to clearly label which of their pies are suitable for vegans (and I believe they have some vegan sweet snacks too), and also the fact that it is very good value for tasty pie.

Cons: Not 100% veg
