R. C.

A very small but lovely bakery that does great coffee. Stopped in on our way to town and the staff were very friendly and the smell of fresh bread was very enticing.

C. P.

Outstanding bread, every time. So good indeed that we make the trip here even though we live other side of The Meadows. Also great that there are different varieties of bread over the course of the day.

A. P.

An amazing place to get sourdough - all of their breads are good, but they do have a lot of sourdough breads and it’s a specialty of theirs. Friendly staff that offers good recommendations. Can’t wait to come back!

P. C.

Superb bread and friendly staff! Will definitely come back again and again!

S. C.

The best place for bread in Edinburgh! Authentic French bakery. Everything freshly made each morning. Convenient opening hours and super friendly staff. A great place to go when you want a special loaf to complete a meal.

J. A. (.

Tasty traditional Roscon de Reyes which has made my day. Lovely sourdough baguettes, highly recommended too!

N. F. G.

The best breads we have found in the city. Small but worth every product. Proper croissants and very nice quiche as well. Staff always lovely and kind.

K.

Very nice sourdough, if you can pay by card or the person behind the counter is good and lets you pay by cash. Not sure if that is due to covid situation or not but denying cash payments bars some people who don’t have or prefer not to use a card from buying there. Outside of that, great place

G. H.

Many places claim to sell a French baguette, this is the only place in Edinburgh that actually does. The chew, the crust and the flavour are all there. I will definitely be returning to try out their other breads and delicious looking cakes.

S. M.

Lovely little bakery with a few tables for sitting in. Had a delicious chocolate roll and a cappuccino and bought a rye sourdough loaf and two mini pizza things to take away. Both were yummy. Lady behind the counter was very nice and friendly. Atmosphere was hot and steamy (it's a bakery!) and full of delicious smells.

D. T.

Every time I have bought anything from this store it has made my day measurably better. Heather rye loaf, sourdough baguettes, croissants. Delicious.

H. K.

Tremendous wee bakery. Went in for fougasse which they don't have just now but came out with a very tasty sourdough baguette, a couple of oven warm savoury pastries and a bun. Everything was incredibly fresh and friendly people too

L. N.

Right down the street from me and very tempting every day :) staff is always friendly and every pastry I’ve tried has been very yummy! Always smells great in there as well.

G.

Good bread as fresh but goes dry/hard quick. Not best pastries as they also get hard too quickly. Would recommend for getting a baguette or our fave french white - which is heaven I must say! We have visited the shop multiple times as we leave close and tbh we were much more excited about the products at the beginning. We still do recommend it, but it’s not the best you can get and the stuff is not too friendly, rushing clients because of the queue or just simply being grumpy. It seems because they have many clients they just take them for granted and treat them not as they should.

M. C.

Delicious breads and pastries at incredible prices! I've been buying supermarket baguettes, but no more-- now that I know I can get french quality baguettes for two pounds or less, I'll never buy supermarket bread again! Incredibly friendly staff, willing to sell me an existing half a baguette and explain some of the less familiar breads. Good food as well, but not much space (2 tables). Bread specials on Saturday. Worth waiting until the afternoon, as the sourdough doesn't come out until 12 pm. A delicious gem!

C. P.

Terrific bakery, good selection of breads at a reasonable price point. 6 grain sourdough has been my favourite one so far. Staff are all friendly and helpful. Good Covid practices in place too

I. S.

Delicious and beautiful bread, glad to have found a great baker in Edinburgh!

A. v. G.

I was super impressed with the croissant (buttery, crisp exterior, light interior) and the cinammon bun. Carrot cake is nice and moist and not too sweet. Excellent cream cheese frosting.

C. B.

A real local treat! I am so glad to have this authentic bakery in my neighborhood. Every morning, you can see the bakers prepare the bread and all the foodies, so it's all fresh. Their breads keep very well, and they also have a few tables to sit in and have a proper coffee, or something for lunch. I simply love it!

G. x.

Great wee shop, most of the bread is vegan. They even have a sweet vegan bun, occasionally. Everything is made onsite from base ingredients, flour, water yeast. All the bread is delicious.

A. A.

A wonderful local spot! Great bread and pastries, and very friendly. They also have lovely macarons, and sometimes very nice vegan options.

K. N.

Nice and soft cheese bread and crispy sweet almond croissant 🥐 The stuff was very nice. It was the great start of the day.

N. B.

We stopped here in April and were pleased to find an authentic boulangerie with long-fermentation sourdough breads. A small and comfortable space, we were happy to sit there for an hour before beginning our day of sightseeing.

C. B.

Great French white breads, baguettes, brioches, sourdoughs, I've told all my friends about this place and all the ones that went can't help but go back for more. They even had some delicious pastries and cookies for the Xmas season. Moreover you can get lunch there in a warm and cozy atmosphere with the smell of warm bread in the air..Mmmmm..

P. W.

Not been in before as not a big bread lover. But got some good advice on what to buy from a very friendly lady. Would recommend.

I. W.

My world's favourite bakery! They have real (french) and delicious bread, the best macaron on earth, super tasty buns and pastries (sweet and savoury) and the staff is so lovely! Plan a visit when you are in Edinburgh!

K. K.

Shockingly expensive. The produce is quite good, but does it really have to be this expensive? I'm from continental Europe and I'm used to little pastry shops like this. They are however extremely cheap over there... I don't really understand why in the UK decent pastries have to cost so much. But hey, it is what it is, and if you want to buy the stuff they sell, you won't find it in many places around Edinburgh, so you really don't have much of a choice. If you want what they sell, cough up the dough.

k. G.

Great start of the day with delicious breads:)

J.

The quiche was very small (10 cm x 8cm x 2cm), especially for the price. I hope it was a one time mistake. Pastries are ok, considering it's not France, bread is very good and staff is very friendly.

W. W. C.

Probably the best crusty baguette you can get in Edinburgh! I also tried cinnamon bun and croissants the other day. They are not bad but a bit pricey for that quality.

D. B.

It's wee - with just three tables. The proprietor is French. They bake bread and cakes on the premises. The young woman who served me is half French and she was very nice - reflecting an honesty about the place - clean, open and airy. Good coffee, good croissant. What more can you ask.

R. C. T.

I was accidentally introduced to their carrot cake while I was in need of a quick bite a few weeks ago. And it's the best one I've tried so far!❤️

J. H.

Let's be honest: it's twice the price and not as good as even your average boulangerie in France. But it's still a world away from supermarket bread, so I'll happily stop by every couple weeks as a treat.

G. B.

Excellent crema on the strong black coffee. Bread and bakes all home made and delicious. Excellent service and friendly staff. Wonderful home baking smells

G. D.

A clearly passionate ownership about bread. Some french details, but mostly good, nutritious and flavourful bread.

Z. O.

The best baguette, country loaf, croissant, pain au chocolate, and almond croissant in all of Edinburgh! Highly recommend.

B. G.

Best capuccino in town. Awesome attention, prices and great patisserie. I give 4 stars because it closes too early and sometimes I fancied a cappuccino and was already closed when I went (at 5.30 pm).

A. C.

Hands down the best almond croissant I've had in my entire life. Would be willing to travel 20 miles for it, it's honestly life-changing.

J. F.

we had the pain au chocolate and the chocolate buns. the treats were okay but not great. not enough chocolate in either. the pain looked great but was a tougher bread than most, and seemed to be missing it's flaky layers. the chocolate buns were also tough and were bland beside the chocolate in them. I think the bun was a plain white bread.

M. S. M.

I bought two Roscones de Reyes, today. They are delivious

N. S.

My favourite bakery in Edinburgh. The almond croissants are exceptional, the bread is lovely.

L. B.

Ok coffee; good cocoa and tasty croissants. The small customer seating area could be cleaner & the walls need painting to upgrade the customer experience.

A. J.

Best bread in Edinburgh. I've been going every other morning for a good six months now, as after the first few visits I couldn't stand supermarket bread any more.

A. C.

Excellent sourdough and pastries at a very reasonable price. Was particularly nice to have the bread still warm when I bought it.

A. F.

Authentic breads and delicious!!!!! The sourdough baguette is the best I've had, ever! Super pleasant staff and the aromas are to die for!

G. P.

The bread here is delicious. I used to live next door and I miss the days where I could buy a loaf every week.

M. M.

Absolute top quality products - the almond croissants are some of the best ever!

A. F.

A great wee bakery that I've been going to for a while. Lovely bread and great pastries too!

A. T.

Lovely little bakery, so far everything I've tried has been amazing!

F. L.

I tried many bakeries in Edinburgh. This one is definitely the absolute best in town. I told all my fellow frenchmen, and they all agree! Vive la baguette!

N. L.

Very good bakery (mostly takeaway) but too small if you want to sit and have a cup of coffee with any of the products they sell. Also no toilets

N. M.

An extraordinary French bakery. Perfect quality and highly recommend. Everything handmade. Loved the almond croissant.

S. C.

The BEST croissant EVER. I really love the almond croissant. Brownies are lovely as well.

Such a cute artisan bakery / coffee shop, we ate here twice during our visit to the city. Recommended.

P. v. O.

Have you tried their almond croissant already? £2.50 is a wee pricier than other places but ... Try it and life will never be the same again.

M. L.

G. S.

It's a great place to stop by and get amazing bread a little off the beaten tourist track, but close enough in Edinburgh.

Ich esse zwei Dinge, ein Croissant und ein Schokoladenbrötchen. Ich sage, eines der besten Croissants der Welt, knusprig, frisch und voller Geschmack. Die Dame war recht freundlich.

(Translated) Complete breakfasts, with quite good coffee and freshly made pastries in the back store. We were in a hurry and in 15 minutes we had breakfast, so it is totally recommended. I recommend the carriage cake and the fruit cake, delicious! (Original) Desayunos completos, con un cafe bastante bueno y bollería recién hecha en la tras tienda.
