Reviews of The Bearded Baker

F. K.

Generally a good experience - the Nutella doughnut was amazing and the cinnamon roll was very good

E. s.

This place was absolutely awesome - pastries are delicious but don't miss having a bagel - if I lived around the corner I would never have anything else for lunch. The staff were so friendly as well!. Will definitely be our first stop when back in Edinburgh

D. W.

Delightful neighbourhood bakery, with a decent sized queue at the weekend, a testament to its popularity. Stop by for a coffee and a Biscoff doughnut. Takeaway only currently

C. M.

It's been a little while since I have been into town but I had a craving for a peanut butter doughnut. Unfortunately there weren't any on the menu today but one of the team suggested I try the biscoff cinnamon roll- great choice! I certainly enjoyed it with a lovely creamy latte to go with it! (I may or may not have had something else as well and it was equally as good!🙃)

M. A. F.

I consider myself a casual customer of the place. But every time I'm walking in is a smile. Both from the team and the food. Today even better: had a classic bad day, try to walk in to fix it but the shop was close. My bad, I knew was late but I tried. The Team Member behind the counter smile and point at a freebies just outside the door. Here we are. A bad day fixed. Cheers guys. I own you. Edit: the dark chocolate doughnut is delicious.

DO NOT RECOMMEND FOR VEGANS OR GLUTEN INTOLERANT! Came all the way with a friend, I’m vegan and she’s gluten free. The website said there was gluten free bread and vegan options for sandwiches. Arrived and there was not a single thing that was gluten free, and there were no vegan options. The menu was not even remotely the same as the one online. I appreciate that the staff scraped together incredible to make a gluten free bagel but the options were disappointingly limited. My friend could get nothing. The baked goods looked great and bread looked nice, just disappointingly misleading. I’m sure it’s absolutely amazing if you have no dietary restrictions, I just wish they would update their site to reflect that they do not in fact cater to the restrictions they claim to.

M. S.

Amazing cinnamon buns and bagels. I had the B.A.T ( bacon , Avon and tomato) Warm and fresh. Fresh bread and bagels on the shelf too. Yip all the men serving have beards, but not the ladies) . Best in mind in small and quirky inside with 2 tables, a breakfast bar and a seat outside so get in quick. Dog friendly too. Not over priced too especially for Edinburgh prices

M. M.

Amazing bagels made daily with fresh ingredients. They serve coffee and also have sweets most mornings; sometimes donuts, sometimes chewy gooey cinnamon buns 🤤. Cute spot with a few tables and high chairs, dog friendly 🐕. They also sell bread, honey, bee pollen. We walked 20 min. to get these back-to-back days!

G. H.

Big fan of the Bearded Baker. Nice place for a coffee and the sourdough bread is especially nice 😋

D. N.

You have to try their doughnuts, so good! We had the peanut butter one and it was out of this world. Cinnamon roll was also amazing. And their coffee is also great. Not to mention the nice vibe with lots of sun light in the morning and cute coffee cups.

B. B.

Good coffee and fair amount of sweet and savoury options. The place is bright and warm, however is quite small so be prepared not to find a place to sit-in and you have to end up taking your order to-go.

C. A.

Good donuts, alright coffee. As some from New Jersey I can't really say their bagels are bagels, but the sandwiches are really good. Can't wait to go back and try their other foods. Their tiny shop has great light if your up for holding one of their tables for a long time. Do check their instagram is your going a bit late. They tend to run out of some foods closer to the end of the day.

E. I.

Absolutely wonderful bagels - love both the sesame and poppy seed. The cakes/bakes are brilliant too. Great selection. Got to get in quick to avoid disappointment as they sell out! Don't miss your opportunity to get some tasty treats :)

G.

The most delicious cinnamon roll I've ever tasted. The biscoff bun is also a MUST try. This place is just amazing🤤

J.

My new favourite place in Edinburgh. How can I describe perfection?! On our first morning we had the bacon, avo and tomato bagels. Could have eaten the bagel alone and been satisfied but chuck in some thick cut, smoked bacon and it was simply the best. Accompanied by a lovely flat white and friendly service. On our return we got a cinnamon bun and blueberry cheesecake doughnut to go, baked fresh that morning. The quality of the dough is sensational. Worth travelling to!

L. K.

Amazing cafe! Delicious bagels, cinnamon buns and coffee. Staff are lovely too. Put it on your list when in Edinburgh.

C. C.

Friendly staff and very tasty pastries however they have limited stock so make sure you get there early.

M. R.

I just wish their buns weren't so dry, they have great promise, would taste a lot better if they just glazed them.

L. C.

Amazing food. Love their bagels and bagel sandwiches, very flavorful and generous portions! Also had their cinnamon bun which was equally amazing. Wish I could try everything at once!

A. L.

Great quality donuts. The staff are friendly and helpful.

N. A.

Super tasty bagels and donuts 💛 The place is small but very cosy. Highly recommend this place for a late breakfast or brunch.

L. S.

Delicious cinnamon buns and bagels. The reuben was our favourite.

D. C.

I love the bagels and buns buy them and freeze them aa I live 300 miles away

B. C.

A very relaxing corner of town where you can enjoy delicious bagels. Donouts and cinnamon buns are out of this world. Try them if you can :3

D. C.

These guys serve great quality bagles, good coffee and interesting cakes. It's a really small venue with only a couple of tables but if you can get a seat then I recommend eating in there because the service is also really great. An obvious comparison will be drawn between this place & bros bagels, but the vibe here is totally different, more wholesome and I think the bagel fillings are probably healthier here than in Bros. It's in a really cool interesting area of town and the prices are pretty reasonable for what you get. I one hundred percent recommend!

K. E.

This is one of those hidden gem coffee and cake shops in Edinburgh that I really love. It’s all about quality over size with this shop from their coffee to their in house cinnamon buns to their delicious bagels. It’s the perfect place to sit by the window with a snack and do some people watching. True to its name the staff are bearded! (well some of the male staff). Definitely drop by this place.

M. S.

I come here almost every day for my morning bagel! The staff are beyond lovely, you get to run into the same people getting their morning coffees which creates a nice ‘community’ atmosphere, dog friendly, and vegan cinnamon buns! Genuinely one of my all time favorite breakfasts is the avocado bagel with chili and red onion. Can’t speak more highly, it’s rare to find such a great spot (and even better it’s a two minute walk for me!)

D. B.

Quite simply we relaxed, and loved it! Snatched lunch here with a long lost friend... we were fortunate to get a table! Ate amazing bagels and fillings (loved getting a sneaky peak of bread being kneaded). Welcoming service, attentive, without being overbearing... and then spoiled ourselves with cake... I tried the weird and lovely Jelly Cake as it reminded me of school dinners! Reasonably priced... and great, strong coffees! Will search this place out again on our next visit to Edinburgh!

M. N.

Delightful wee shopping in Edinburgh. Excellent coffee, and don't leave without having one of the baked goods.

T. M.

Really great coffee and the best vegan cinnamon buns in Edinburgh - my only issue is they run out of these (and sometimes other cakes etc) rather quickly so would be good if they had more available. There's a 20p discount if you bring your own cup which is great!

T. M.

Popped by here for a takeaway donut and got to say it was delicious. I'll definitely have to pop by to try other items on the menu.

A. H.

I visited this place several times while staying nearby in Edinburgh. It only has 6 seats but there was usually room to sit in. The staff are very friendly and the volume is very low, with some quiet music playing. The coffee is very good: lattes and cappuccinos were very well made whilst not falling into the frequent trap of being insanely strong and headache-inducing. The primary flavour was of coffee rather than being floral or fruity. Good doughnuts and pretty good cookies available too. We took away some unfilled bagels, which were a big improvement on supermarket bagels although not quite as distinctive as the better bagels you'll get in London (e.g. Happening Bagel Bakery). Overall: excellent.

J. O.

Divine had this place touted on my research prior to my trip and when the name was mentioned as being around the corner i said i needed to visit. Beautiful little spot. Visited twice on my 4 day trip to family. Bagels were perfection. Flat whites were also really good and tasty.

M.

OMG! The best cinnamon bun I’ve ever tasted ! They’re amazing! Definitely must try! And the sourdough, still warm when bought it, just perfect. Can’t wait to go back

W. A.

Absolutely cracking little cafe. Between us, my wife and I ate a Classic bagel and Reuben bagel plus a couple of homemade donuts. Cracking cappuccino - robust, yet smooth! Cannot recommend this place highly enough!

P. E.

Friendly staff serving some seriously good bagels. We make our own gravlax when good salmon is available, and these bagels we're worthy. We've had some amazing bagels over the years... Montreal, Davidovitch in NYC (if you have to ask ;) and these are up there. Disappointing they were closed our final week in Edinburgh.

L. C.

Our favourite place for breakfast. Great coffee and the best bagels in Edinburgh. My favourite is avocado, feta, red onion and chilli. The staff are all lovely and they're dog friendly.

J. H.

Excellent coffee. Dog friendly. Only three tables. Food is only bagels and cakes and both often run out. But still 5 stars because it's all great.

K. E.

What a find! I stumbled on the bakery on my way The RBG Edinburgh and stopped by for a quick coffee. The coffee was excellent, the staff lovely and the bagel was one of the best ever - warm, crisp on the outside and freshly made. Include this place in your Edinburgh visit.

A.

The place is a hidden gem! Really great doughnuts! So soft and fluffy! Not too sweet, just right. The fillings were great as well. Only problem is that the prices a bit more expensive than usual and the place was too small.

C. B.

Seriously good bagels, highly recommend the maple syrup and cream cheese and the one with smashed avocado. Inside can be study as the doesn't seem to be much airflow but they opened the doors for us. Very clean toilets

G. B.

Picked up takeaway muffins, brownies and a cinnamon roll from here last week. Very tasty and ample sized - had to halve the muffins and split the brownies in three.

H. K.

Great coffee and great beards. Had a donut here and it was good. So good that if there was only one left and I had to fight you for it I would. And I'd cheat. They also have tea and other baked goods.

I. H.

Absolutely in love with The Bearded Baker. Their bagels are so so yummy, and the staff there are really friendly :) I also love that the bagels are made by actual bearded bakers.

L. I.

Cozy and tiny little coffee place with very good choice of sweet and salty food. We enjoyed sitting by the window, having cinnamon rolls and bagels together with a latte.

D. F.

Very good coffee, friendly service and bright seating area. I always go back for the same things – namely the avocado and feta bagel and the cinnamon roll – because they are wonderful.

D. G.

Lovely wee bakery. Fab cinnamon buns, great sourdough

L. S.

Loved the coffee and cakes we had here. I've been following this little coffee shop for years on Instagram so it was great to finally be able to visit. It definitely didn't disappoint.

S. W.

The most awesome bagel and donut I've ever tasted. Can't wait to visit again. Service amazing. Thank you and see you next time we're in Edinburgh 😊

R. P.

Yummy coffee! Sad I missed the bagels - came quite late - but got lots of cheese scones on my way out that might've been chucked otherwise. Score!

S. K.

Best bagels on this side of the ocean! And this is coming from a New York jew... 5 stars! Also cinnamon roll was incredible.

A. H.

Great little spot for a fresh bagel and cup of local coffee.

L. B.

Best cinnamon bun I've ever had! Such high standards and really reasonably priced. Lovely staff, lovely atmosphere and I will definitely be back

C. O.

We were lucky enough to get an airbnb directly upstairs from this gem. The coffee is spot on and the jam doughnuts are killer. Friendly staff and really nice atmosphere.

E.

Fabulous filled donuts, beautiful cinnamon rolls and amazing almond Gluten Free cake also. Will have to revisit for a bagel.

C. J. F.

The Classic filled was truly delicious with freshly made pickles, cream cheese, fresh dill, and yummy salmon! We would highly recommend The Bearded Baker!!!

B. H. S.

Good coffee and great doughnuts. The staff were super friendly and made my dog welcome by offering some treats and a bowl of water.

If there is one thing I could have shipped home to the US from the UK it would be any baked good from this place, or their house-made marshmallows. Absolutely delicious.
