Naked Bakery in Edinburgh, City of

I went here whilst on my break to Edinburgh. I was truly impressed with the service and quality of food . I had a vegan Scottish breakfast and a lovely unicorn cake . Food was delicious and presented very well 👌 would definitely recommend and will probably visit here again on my next trip to Edinburgh.

First time we came we had a lovely time and nice meal and bought lots of cakes to take away….unfortunately we went today and was no tables free which was fine so I said I would book online and come back to be “NO” as they aren’t going to tell people to leave and when we were just about to leave a table became available so I asked if we could take that table we got told “your lucky” in a very rude manner so instead of taken the table my daughter asked if we could just leave became of this staff members attitude it was that blunt and rude.Unfortunately won’t be back now because of this as nice food too.

Got a drink and a cake and staff were lovely and helpful. Place is beautifully presented and very clean and tidy. My cupcake was absolutely spectacular! This is worth going to, especially if you're looking for great vegan treats.

Wandering round Edinburgh with the good lady wife and starting to feeling hungry. Saw this place. Thought it looked and it was! Now I am not a vegan nor a huge carnivorous Alpha male either. I had the mac and cheese and was genuinely surprised how good it was. I had no idea veganism was so tasty! I love coffee with all the dedication of a crackhead and was a little apprehensive about messing with the programme, using a plant based alternative instead of lovely fresh ice cold cow juice!?!? The fella serving (sorry didn't get your name) suggested half Almond milk half coconut milk.........Amazed........totally mind blown......I had two.......the 2nd accompanied by a massive slice of cake.......also vegan........at first I suspected some kind of witchcraft.......but no turns out vegan stuff I actually really good! Thank you for showing me the way!

So very pleased to find this place. Delicious food and a friendly, comfortable atmosphere. We had breakfast here on both days of our trip. Bought a cake and ate it on our walk to Arthur's Seat. Fabulous food. Keep going!

Stumbled across this little place by accident and so glad we did. Away from the hustle and bustle. Had a very enjoyable healthy and tasty lunch. I had a Buddha bowl and hubby had mac n cheese. Fantastic selection of cakes and vegan food. We’re not vegan but thoroughly enjoyed it. I would not have known that the fake chicken wasn’t actually chicken it was so convincing. Will definitely visit again next time we’re in the area.

Perfect Gem So glad we found this place. Complete life saver which offers vegan food and more importantly for me vegan gluten free options including cake. We loved it the first time, having vegan burger and chips with the most delicious homemade cheese sauce. The gf cakes were amazing too. Returned 2 days later not having ate properly since then and the staff were so accommating, making me the full Scottish breakfast but modifying for my gf needs, a lifesaver, juices are delicious too. On our last day we headed straight back knowing we wouldn't be disappointed, filling our stomachs for the long train journey home. Marcus is exceptional, friendly, welcoming and gave us lots of recommendations in and out of town. You must visit, it's wonderful, best burgers, best breakfasts ( best tofu scramble I've ever had) best cakes too. If we had longer I'd make my way through the entire menu. When we visit Edinburgh again we will definitely be heading here.

Although we were looking for breakfast, we turned up and this little cafe was full so we decided to get a couple of coffees to take away and drink while we found somewhere to eat. Having ordered we were directed to stand by the sign and wait…. Which we did… Ten minutes later we were still waiting… Inadvertently standing in front of the service door (being difficult to stay out of the way of customers and staff) my partner was brusquely ordered to move aside. Still no sign of the coffees. After another 5 mins and realising that our coffees hadn’t even been started yet we decided to cut our losses, requested a refund, and went on our way… The place was obviously busy so of course we have lots of sympathy for the staff in that regard, but being busy is no excuse for a bad attitude.

I can't go to Edinburgh without paying this place a visit. The menu is varied and the cakes are a delight; particularly for someone with allergies like myself. The ambience is super and the staff are always friendly even I visit.

Loved everything about this place. The selection of cakes was the best we’ve seen. I wish we had time to have more than just cake and coffee. All the food that came out of the kitchen looked amazing! Next time …

This place has been on my bucket list if I ever visited Edinburgh And my first stop at the Start of my trip with my family for Easter , perfect refuel after a browse round Edinburgh market Went early morning so was quiet With great decor , hidden in an alley on the corner I had to get the famous pink waffles and tofu scramble Amazing flavours and colours my family were in awe of how amazing vegan good can be plus the protein smoothie that was a work of art then we each picked a macaroon unicorn 🦄 strawberry 🍓 Biscoff cookies and cream 🍪 super speedy and lovely staff , great to takeaway and enjoyed at were we were staying and also got the Buddha bowl for later

Such a beautiful café with a great atmosphere! The pink waffles and a The avocado toast tasted great. Some of the cupcakes were way too sweet.

I’m obsessed with this place! Conveniently, vegan with stunning food both visually and to the taste! I was mesmerizing by the aesthetic but then adored the food I ate. The cupcakes were incredible too! Wish I was in Edinburgh longer to try more!

I visited last month and I re-visited again on Sunday past, and will continue to revisit as I really enjoy going to the Naked Bakery. They have such a brilliant variety of vegan options - from waffles to mac and cheese, to burgers, and they are all tasty and vegan. Their cupcakes and cakes are so delicious, their coffees are very tasty and flavourful, and their staff are incredibly friendly. The decor is beautiful and filled with colourful flowers. They are also very covid-compliant. I look forward to my next trip back and I would certainty recommend going here, even if you aren't vegan as the menu has something for everything and you will be very pleasantly surprised.

We went to the Naked Bakery for breakfast while on a city break. The full Scottish breakfast was superb, and there's a great choice of coffees, including a choice of several milks. Having really enjoyed our breakfast, we couldn't resist purchasing a few cupcakes to take away with us as they looked so amazing on the counter. They tasted just as good as they looked.

How lovely to choose from an all Vegan menu. Great food, savoury and sweet. Good range of drinks. A must visit if you are Vegan or just fancy it! We took a 2 year old, highchair provided. Lovely, friendly staff.

The presentation of the food is amazing, and the staff were lovely. However the food was awful. The cakes dry and lacking taste. The doughnuts were soggy and grey looking on the inside. Sadly shall not be returning

I wish I could give this place more than 5 stars. The cakes are the best I've ever had in my life including before I was vegan. Had to visit here twice during our short stay it was that good, really friendly staff too thank...

High hopes for this little vegan cafe but a bit disappointed. The staff are lovely but pretty disorganised. The cakes looked amazing, but we didn't have one so can't comment. We had full breakfast and a burger. All ok but not great. I couldn't eat...

We had a really nice lunch here. You should book as we saw people turned away. We had a burger which was lovely. The cakes were excellent. Would recommend

Just sublime cakes 10/10! Made our Edinburgh trip from England so much better than expected. Holly and Nade

We had previously popped in her a couple of years ago whilst sightseeing so we thought it would be worth another visit. Its a lovely reasonably sized place which is both light and airy. We only wanted some afternoon tea/coffee and cake. Unfortunatley the macaroons...

We came for a lunch on our last day in Edinburgh, and we are so pleased we did! The burgers we ordered were delicious, great portion size, very fresh and tasty! Despite being full, we were tempted by the cakes and ordered Slices of the...

The Naked bakery is fantastic particularly for the range of sweet treats. As someone who is allergic to dairy, I always visit when I'm in Edinburgh, even to grab a cake to take away. My last visit was made even better when the staff member...

Fantastic place for some plant based brunch! Amazing food atmosphere and really friendly staff which made it overall a very enjoyable visit. Thanks guys. 😊

Beautiful food, beautiful decor, beautiful presentation - so tasty, even my hardcore carnivore dad loved the BLT. Get there early as you can for a choice of the amazing doughnuts because they seem to disappear fast!

Lovely staff, absolutely fabulous food and cakes, loved the decor. It is a cozy little cafe, will definitely go back. 😊

Amazing 🤩 Wonderfully fresh food. Non vegan and I’m amazed every time at the cake selection and they taste amazing. This time I had brunch which we all loved, especially the 8 year who was desperate to try pink waffles 🧇

Visited around a month ago and it was great! Friendly staff, family enjoyed everything we had, good portions, and the presentation was beyond anything we were expecting. The place itself was quite small but looked amazing and was very clean. We took away 2 cakes...

I cannot explain how good this hidden place on hill street is. After previously visiting we decided to go back twice last weekend. The new additions such as ‘this isn’t chicken and bacon’ worked so well in their dishes. Obviously this place is all vegan...

Visité la panadería desnuda para almorzar y un pastel. En primer lugar, el ambiente era encantador y el personal también. Decoración realmente hermosa y un ambiente agradable y relajado. ¡La comida estaba increible! Tantas opciones veganas geniales. ¡Recomiendo la envoltura mac and cheeze y chips de aguacate cargados! Y la panadería yo algo más tuve una rosquilla morada de delicia! Lo recomiendo completamente, aunque un poco alejado, vale la pena encontrarlo.

Nuestro hijo que es vegano nos recomendó la Panadería Desnuda. Un poco escondido pero vale la pena. Visitamos durante la guía actual, pero tuvieron que hacer ejercicio para mantenerse seguros y aun así brindar un calor personal. Mi esposa y yo compartimos mucho pastel, lo cual era un poco extremo pero había muchas opciones. Gran lugar para relajarse.

Went in as we were passing today on a walk through Edinburgh, decided to grab a cake and a doughnut which were both delightful later found out they were both made with Vegan plant-based recipes and couldn't believe it.

Este paraíso vegano libre de glotones sirve excelentes pasteles y cafés y tés. Los pasteles son coloridos y atraerán a todos. Un poco fuera de lo común pero un lugar para buscar.Hacen pasteles increíbles para ocasiones especiales y el personal es entusiasta y servicial.

Fabulosa comida vegana en un ambiente tranquilo, relajado y amigable. Almorzamos con un amigo y los dos estábamos encantados de encontrar un oasis de calma en el centro de Edimburgo, que sirve comida vegana increíble.El personal fue encantador. Encantados de darme consejos a mí y a mi amigo, ambos nos estamos inclinando hacia el vegano. Aún no está allí.Hermosa decoración también. No probé los pasteles, un poco destripado por eso. Se veían increíblemente bien.

Early morning breakfast stop at this nice looking cafe. One customer in before us. No greeting from the lady behind the counter. We sat and looked at menues that we had to get up and take from other tables. the room was pretty cold but understandable first thing in the morning music was terrible and bit loud. Staff didn't explain that we needed to stand at the till which was a metre away from our table and she didn't ask us if we were ready to order. Decided it just wasn't the vibe for us. As we were leaving the other customer complained about how long she had been waiting for her breakfast. Right decision to take our monthly elsewhere Went to Henderson's down the road instead.

Friendly service, very tasty breakfast and the cakes!!! A fab hidden vegan find, definitely worth seeking out.

We decided to to visit Naked Bakery on our short stay in Edinburgh a few days ago and we are so glad we did. The cakes looked amazing and were better than any vegan cakes we have had before and most non vegan for that matter. The decor is lovely and staff very friendly. We were that impressed that we came back the next day for breakfast and yes some more cake. Just wish there was somewhere like this near where we live as it would be perfect to go to for tea and cake with my non vegan family. Its a proper little gem of a place.

The hot chocolate took ages to arrive and was lukewarm. My friend had the same and hers wasn’t hot either. The scones had no raisins and were rock hard. Felt sick after eating the scone and jam. Shame.

The food was really good and they had a nice range of stuff to choose from. Also the beaked goods looked so good!

L'attesa vale la pena. Per una colazione ho atteso davvero tanto, la cuoca era sola in cucina e le portate ci hanno messo più di mezz'ora per arrivare, essendo il terzo tavolo da servire. I piatti sono ottimi, la colazione salata con hummus ed avocado su toast è stata un toccasana per tutta la giornata. Piatti curati, atmosfera rilassante. Presenti cupcakes dai mille colori e forme al bancone, con torte alte un grattacielo.Il locale si trova in una strada a due minuti dalla Royal street, comodo ed accogliente. Leggermente costoso ma i sapori ne fan valere la pena.

I Visited here recently a couple of times and was impressed. On both occasions I had coffee and a cake. The coffee was very full in flavor, excellent. On the first occasion I had a doughnut which had Lotus Biscoff inside it, with marbled blue icing on the outside. It was easily the best cake I have ever eaten. The second time I had a piece of sponge cake which had frosted icing, and this too was excellent. The presentation was lovely.The entire menu is Vegan friendly, and their selection of cakes is as impressive as it is aesthetically pleasing to the eye. Speaking of which, the decor is also lovely.The overall menu has a wide selection of vegan foods on offer, including meals. The staff members I spoke to were pleasant and helpful.I will definitely visit again.

I went this morning with my partner and we had the Scottish full breakfast and the pink waffles, all very tasty! The place is nicely decorated and the service was great. Much better option than a bland hotel breakfast.

The food was beautiful and full of flavour! The cakes were stunning, all over the place is a lovely place to go for something to eat or just a lovely slice of cake and latte!!

This place has become my go-to whenever I’m in Edinburgh. There is an amazing selection of food, drinks and sweet treats on offer. The prices are also great for the standard and quality. I love the interior design and the atmosphere, great wee café!

Found this place on Happy Cow after looking for a place to eat while staying in Edinburgh. It was so good! We went when it was quiet mid-week and the food was amazing and reasonably priced considering it's in a city centre.

My finance and I visited to order our Wedding Cake and were met with smiles and good chat. We spoke to the Baker and had a coffee and a slice of cake while we chatted. The cake was light and moist and the coffee was perfection. Can't recommend highly enough.

Very much enjoyed this place. We stopped by for a short visit, donut was fantastic and espresso was very good. Service was fast and friendly. I would definitely recommend.

Came in with a friend and the place was packed so as finding vegan food isn’t the easiest and we were too hungry to go walking about so we just waited. Despite making eye contact with the waiting staff numerous times they never came over once to say how long they thought it would be or even just say hello. Eventually the man behind the counter (presuming the manager) offered us coffees on the house for waiting which was very kind and so our opinions started to change. We eventually got a table, the way they have decorated the Bakery/cafe is lovely, very detailed and feels very clean and new. However my main complaint is about the waiting staff, they were very rude and unprofessional, one waiter had an earphone in which I thought was unbelievably unprofessional, he also seemed very bored and not interested in making a good impression. We waited for absolutely ages to be served before being told to order at the counter (there is no indication that this is what you should be doing) the food was average at best. Was so disappointed in the cakes, way too focused on how they look rather than taste. The white chocolate and raspberry cupcake was literally a sponge with raspberry jam and a white chocolate skull on top (which does not taste good) they were full of sugar and made both me and my friend feel a little unwell after. We felt like the service was extremely slow and were in there way longer than we wanted to be and again when paying the bill I felt the girl serving us wasn’t very polite or enthusiastic.

Excellent cafe with quirky smart decor and a vegan menu. I went well off-piste (by my standards!) and had a vegan strawberry milkshake. Delicious. Very fruity, though possibly a little sweet for some.

Visited for Teenage Birthday treat ; specifically for vegan brunch and cakes .

These doughnuts are great by any standards, but to think that they are both vegan and gluten free is incredible.

An instant favorite vegan spot in Edinburgh! We will definitely be coming back! Such a variety and so delicious!

The food was out of this world. I had the banana and chocolate chip vegan cake and the beetroot hummus toasts. Mindblowingly tasteful!

We had breakfast in here and I have to say that we both loved both the presentation and more importantly the food itself. The decor to me didn’t seem to align with their raw vegan menu but once you see the presentation it becomes clearer as to why they have decorated the place the way they have. I would most definitely come back when we’re in Edinburgh again.

If you like food, EAT HERE! This was my favorite eating spot in Edinburgh when I visited. I first had the mac n cheese burger with onion rings... incredible! I loved it so much that I returned the next morning for breakfast and had the full Scottish breakfast. Again, incredible!! The flavors of both dishes were amazing and the amount of food you got was awesome! I also got the biscoff donut to go... WOW. I didn't think I liked donuts, but that was life changing! Perhaps the best thing I've ever eaten!! Eat (or grab a coffee/latte- so many different flavors!) here and you will not regret it!

I am vegan and had read about this place before my trip to Edinburgh and desperately wanted to go. I managed to convince the other eight people (non vegans) I was with to come here for breakfast. There was a great selection of drinks and breakfast items. I had a delicious honeycomb latte and the Mac and cheese toaster which was amazing. Other members of the group had the pink waffles which they throughly enjoyed too. We all got a doughnut or cupcake to go. I had the red velvet doughnut and tried some on the peanut butter doughnut - both were lovely! The only downside to our visit here was that we waited a long time for our drinks and then for our food. I think this may have been because there was a large group of us. It wouldn’t stop me coming back here or recommending to a friend. Gluten free options were available too!

Came here to pick up some cakes after seeing the amazing reviews and were blown away! Unfortunately we arrived late in the day and almost all cakes were gone but ones we had tasted great. Highly recommended for everyone, vegan or not (but get in early on weekends if you want full choice!)

My girlfriend and I visited Edinburgh on the weekend and stopped at the Naked Bakery for some breakfast. It's 100% plant based which is remarkable considering what they are achieving.

Visited for a quick lunch and their great reputation is entirely justified.

We were invited by friends to visit Naked Bakery, I was a little reluctant as I'm not vegan but we really enjoyed our visit. The staff were very helpful and friendly and the coffee and cakes were great. Really reasonably priced and tasted great.

Délicieux, vegan, service très gentil, présentation superbe. Je recommande vraiment, ça en vaut la peine !

Love love love the cupcakes and cakes are Naked Bakery. They also have the tastes lattes with all colours.

This place is to die for. We had the Scottish breakfast and the mac and cheese burger....and then seven cakes, between two. It’s not for the faint hearted, or for those who can’t choose between donuts, cupcakes and huge slab cakes. And in true vegan fashion, everything gets photographed before it’s eaten, and dogs are welcome! This is literally the *best* meal I’ve had since going vegan, hands down. Oh, and the people are dead friendly too. Just go.

Looking for places to eat in Edinburgh for vegans and I come across the naked bakery. the naked bakery had me at CAKE!..lol..

This little gem offers so much more than amazing cupcakes, food and drinks. It is such a lovely bright, clean and welcoming place to take the weight off your feet with a seat in the elegant contemporary surroundings or for those on the go grab a slice, cup cake or doughnut to take away. I have not managed to try all the offerings yet but if carrot cake is your thing you will not be disappointed! I have been here on a good few occasions since it's opening with various friends and family and we have all had a great experience, tasty cakes, amazing array of hot drinks with a variety of plant based milks to chose from. If your feeling a little more hungry they have a newly launched extended breakfast, lunch and dinner menu.

In case you are vegan (not a must for this place) and enjoy desserts, sweet treats as well as creative home-made food, that's the place to visit in Edinburgh! The pieces and presentation are to die for!

Stumbled across Naked Baker by pure chance. initially went in for a quick coffee but soon caught sight of the cakes on offer - People were taking photos of the cakes, and a few selfies taken too, just to capture the decor (You'll see why as soon as you walk in).

Had another opportunity to sit in at naked bakery today for lunch. Previous visits we have only had the chance to have coffee and cake. To say we were impressed is an understatment. The food, the service and the staff were simply first class. The staff’s knowledge was very impressive and as someone who is non-vegan they helped steer us in the right direction. The cafe itself is beautiful and a has wonderfuly welcoming atmosphere. Would highly recommmed.

This cafe came with a great recommendation so,as a vegan, I was keen to try it out. I went with a friend today and we took the one free table. However, there were no menus on it so we had to ask the waiter. He wasn't sure where they were either, but managed to produce one.The menu contained lots of appetising choices, which I was looking forward to sampling. However, when we started to queue, behind a group of young women, it became abundantly clear that the staff member behind the counter was more interested in chatting them up than in serving my friend and myself, who are both several decades older than the rest of the clientele! He was painfully slow at making a blue latte for one of them, and was just chatting away to her, mostly social chat, from what we heard. He made no eye contact with us and there was no acknowledgement that we were waiting, or indeed, even there! After about a quarter of an hour, very hungry, but with no imminent prospect of being served, we left abruptly without having placed an order. He then asked if everything was OK, which maybe indicated that he knew he had ignored us. We both felt that this lack of attention was unacceptable. We also felt the cafe was understaffed. A great pity as the food looked very inviting and I'm sure I would have enjoyed it, had I been given the opportunity to do so!

Food was fantastic and even though it was filling, we still managed cake and hot chocolate afterwards. Staff were so lovely, Sarah in particular. Highly recommend

I’m not even a Vegan, and I found the food delicious. The scrambled Tumeric Tofu was very tasty, tofu can be bland but this was not the case, and my friends had their Signature burger, which they were raving about.

Just a stones throw away from Princes st. and you'll discover this charming vegan friendly establishment. Lovely staff and lovely food.

This place is a hidden gem. We heard about the amazing cakes so popped in to take some for my sister who's vegan. The staff are so so friendly. We decided to stay for a bite and a hot drink. Trying to decide what to to have from the drinks menu is so tricky as they all look good. I had a coconut blue latte and a red velvet doughnut and my partner had a honeycomb latte with a biscotti doughnut. We also bought 7 cupcakes to take away. Everything is presented beautifully. I love the plates and cups. It's an Instagram bloggers dream, there were a few taking pics and I can see why. I wish I lived in Edinburgh just to go here. Will be planning to come here everytime I visit Edinburgh.

This bakery is a great little place to stop and have a cuppa and a treat. Wonderful decor,great tasting baked goods and a cheerful owner.

Naked is a great bakery serving plant-based food.
