Not save for celiacs! Many gf options but contamination risk is high, bread is toasted together with normal bread for example.

Der Kuchen schmeckt sehr gut. Man darf jedoch keine großen Stücke erwarten. Man sieht sie jedoch vorher in der Auslage

Great little cafe. They have GF bread, desserts, and ciders. Portions are more typical European for the Americans here, so don’t expect big sandwiches. But the ham and mature cheddar toastie was great. Carrot cake was even better.

Excellent allergen awareness. They can make anything with bread with GF bread and they have a good choice of GF cakes.

Had the basil soup and gf carrot cake. Soup could come with gf bread and bread was delicious. Did have a mild reaction but overall was tasty and hit the spot. I cannot say with a full guarantee that their food was what caused the reaction. My dad had the tuna melt on gf bread which he thought was good, he just wished it had more tuna. Seating was quick and it was affordable for touristy area. Next to Edinburgh castle

This was absolutely PERFECT. My daughter, who has celiac, said they are gluten-free bread was among the best she’s ever had.

All the food is prepared when you order it, and all sandwiches can substitute gluten-free bread. The staff is friendly and attentive. We wanted for nothing.

Coffee was good. Baked goods were delicious. Sandwiches were awesome! Super great little cafe not too far from the hostel I was staying at, so we went multiple times. Highly recommend for anyone walking the Royal Mile and wanting a quick bite to eat.

Cute cafe with great atmosphere. Delicious gf bread for sandwiches, so good I had to ask to make sure it was gf! Items are marked in the dairy case as vegan, gf, df. Good prices.

We were just looking for a place to have a quick, light add inexpensive lunch before touring the Edinburgh Castle and this hit the spot! I enjoyed a lovely sandwich in the best gf bread I've ever eaten.

I went here twice and had two different cake options from the case. A great option for tea time. They are not a dedicated gluten free business but have a lot of gf/df items and label everything. I never felt bad after eating here and it was delicious!

Lovely little Scottish cafe, a bit hidden down an alleyway. Lovely cakes! Didn't try the sandwiches but gluten free options available! Also plenty of dairy free options too!
