Originally went to Piecebox to visit (outwith normal hours) to deliver stuff for Ukraine so decided to follow up one day when I was in the area during normal hours for coffee and cake. Coffee was excellent and the cake delicious but I think the service was a little under par (shortage of staff perhaps ?) . . . .but still OK.

We had been several times to this cafe and always enjoyed our visits. HOWEVER - this weekend we made a reservation through Opentable for brunch with family as part of my daughters 21st birthday celebrations on the day. Family came from Aberdeen and Newcastle just for the brunch. We arrived to find that the business is now closed, and a queue of equally bewildered people who had made reservations. We tried cafes local to the cafe and even walked up to Bruntsfield but could not get a table for brunch as all were fully booked. I feel sorry for any business that closes but they should make sure that people are not able to make bookings.

I’ve previously had quite enjoyable experiences of coffee and brunch at Piecebox, although it can be a very noisy and busy place at popular times. Today (Saturday at 10.30am) it was becoming busy, and an hour later every table was full, and the noise of conversations all around us in such a small place, made it difficult for us to hear one another at times. We had ordered brunch by about 10.50am, and we’re still waiting for it an hour later. There was no apology or explanation given. When we asked about our food, we were told just that it would be coming soon. We had all had two cups of coffee by by 11.50am, and had just decided that we would give up and leave if food had not appeared by 12pm, when it was finally delivered to us at 11.55am. The food itself was fine, but I was quite surprised that mine was served on a plate which was chipped in two places. This was quite obvious, and surely must have been noticed by the person serving the food on to plates. I think an hour is a long time to wait for four fairly simple breakfast/brunch meals, and would have expected this to be reflected by an apology, or reduction to the final bill

I had been here once before for cake which was great so I wanted to try out their breakfast. We arrived when they opened and the place was empty. It would probably get busy at weekends but it was midweek it was very quiet. The staff were all friendly. I went for the pancakes with chocolate sauce and berries. They were a little cold when they arrived and quite dense. It tasted like they had been reheated and not made fresh. The inside was chewy, with a hard, almost burnt outside. There was also nowhere near enough sauce so it was a very dry dish. This was not at all what I was expecting and I was left disappointed. I know their cakes and other meals are good but I was not impressed with the pancakes. The quality was not great for the price. I would still come back again for cake and to maybe try another breakfast but I’d pass on the pancakes.

I have spent the last month walking past Piecebox cafe on my way to class, telling myself every time that I needed to go check it out and when I finally did it well exceeded my expectations! The first thing that had originally caught my attention was the sign for gluten-free and vegan options. Having both a gluten and dairy allergy it can be extremely difficult and stressful to eat out and feel comfortable doing so. However, Piecebox was not only pleasant but delicious! They had many options for both gluten and dairy allergies, as well as a full vegan menu that all sounded amazing. I decided to try the sweet potato and courgette fritters. I was skeptical at first as I had never eaten anything like it before but the dish was fantastic! Not only was the food amazing but the staff was so friendly and it was an adorably designed space. I highly recommend checking out the cafe for yourself!

I have been to Piecebox a couple of times already and it’s always been really nice. They offer really good food for brunch and there are vegan and vegetarian options. I had a bagel with vegan black pudding and it was very tasty. The service was quick and the staff was very friendly. There’s a sink at the entrance where you’re asked to wash your hands and you’re seated socially distanced from other tables. Highly recommend this place.

Came in for lunch during the week, the place was very busy but we got a table. Menu has a lot of vegan options which is great to see! Ordered these sweetp potato burgers that were very tasty but a bit on the dry side. Friendly service, but would have liked a check back and a chance to ask for sauces to go with our fries. The tables are a bit close to each other and felt like everyone was sitting a bit too close to each other in these covid times, but other than that no complaints.

My partner and I were looking for a change of breakfast venue. We always go to The Antiquary in St Stephen Street as we love it. No one has a patch on it yet. So we headed to The Piece Box. On entering we were happy to see there were hand sanitizers and given a seat very quickly. We sat at the door, but there was a bit of a breeze everytime it opened, but this was to be expected. We just didn't want to take up a table for four.Orders were taken quickly. I ordered the full breakfast and my partner ordered pancakes and bacon with maple syrup. Tea and coffee also.The place started filling up very quickly mostly with people under 40 or maybe 30. So we got there in a good time.As we waited on our food I just sat back and observed. I noticed one of the waitresses take a clean teaspoon to accompany the coffee she was going to give out, and she dropped the spoon on the floor and without any hesitation she threw it in the sink in the kitchen and got a clean one. This was nice to see. Which wasn't nice to see was the cook running around like a demented chicken trying to probably juggle more than he can chew. This was stressful to watch and not feeling a relaxing atmosphere at all.Breakfast came. My partners was fine. Mines was disappointing. The plate didn't feel all that warm, my bacon was cold and chewy, like eating an old slipper. The chipolata sausages not to my liking, but the worst was the mushrooms! They were awful awful!! They were like eating earth, bad earth. I said to my partner you can have them as he loves mushrooms and would eat anything but he could not eat them. We were thinking they were either out a tin or boiled and as dark as a miners pit. Best bit of the breakfast was the poached egg. Only got one piece of toast with butter that was to my liking. I was also given a choice of black pudding or haggis...for £10.50 I'd expect both. My local pub does an amazing breakfast for £8.50, good quality ingredients and top up coffee. Really disappointed with the Piece Box effort. Service was good, waitresses polite, stuck to all the COVID rules, but I won't return. I like a nice hot breakfast.

It’s incredibly hard to find somewhere that serves vegetarian and vegan food that also caters for meat eaters too. This is a lovely informal (very busy) cafe that also allows dogs! Honestly what’s not to like. The food is really tasty - with huge portions. It’s become our go to place.

A small bustling café in the heart of Polwarth, a short walk away from the Bruntsfield or Fountainpark area. Has a cute and homely feel with friendly staff who know their customers well. Sink installed at the main door and every customer has to use it before being seated/served for takeaway. Tables still felt very close together and I had to squeeze past another customer to get to my table in the corner. Perspex put up between tables due to proximity of diners. All staff wore face coverings but I did find some staff went very close to customers to get their orders or bring them food. Details taken for track and trace upon being seated. Ventilation has been adjusted to increase air circulation within the café, and face coverings must be worn when going to the bathroom and paying/leaving. Smoothies are always made fresh and taste fruity and not too sweet. The sweet potato and courgette fritters were a bit disappointing. I didn’t expect them to be so large and circular, more a flatter fritter so it wasn’t as dry. Not much flavour to the fritters and the satay sauce did not taste of peanut at all. The poached eggs with sweet chilli sauce were okay. I didn’t manage to finish as the fritters were so large and dry. Having been to Piecebox before and tried other food, I know that the quality is very good. Perhaps just made the wrong choice that day with the fritters and was left disappointed. Stick to the other dishes! Would come back to eat other food next time.

Great little cafe, good food but honestly let down by some service. One lady was so lovely and I could really tell how much she cared which was nice, especially about the precautions they were taking in terms of the virus. Sadly let down by a very rude male front of house staff member. He was rude and short and honestly I questioned why he worked in customer service. We just didn’t feel welcome. I’m hoping he wasn’t just having a bad day but im not sure if I would return because of him. Other than that, a truly lovely place, good job to the owner with their efforts to make it feel like a safe place.

We came for breakfast, ordered 2 lots of pancakes and bacon, green smoothie, orange juice, coffee and green tea. All fluid things we got were lovely, the smoothie was freshly made, and very tasty. Coffee was lovely, and the tea was nice, loose leaf. The pancakes and bacon were a little disappointing, the bacon was a little undercooked, fat still very stringy. The pancakes sadly were burnt, dry and a few of them seemed fried. The chipotles I ordered on the side were delicious! Although the pancakes were disappointing the manager, knocked them off the price and didn’t charge us so very grateful for that. Service was very quick, staff very friendly and drinks lovely. The cakes on display looked unbelievable and I saw a few other customers eating full breakfasts and egg dishes which all looked delicious.

I went to piece box with some friends before lockdown and it is everything a cafe should be in my opinion. The food was superb, not just mine but all of my friends meals too. They are generous with the portion sizes and for the quality and quantity i can't think of a better or equal cafe in Edinburgh. I only really put a review up if the place is exceptional and i really think this place is that good. Service was also fast and efficient, the juices my friends had looked great and apparently tasted great too. Thanks for a great meal!!

Audrey (the lovely owner) remembered my dog from when I brought her in over a year ago, and gave her plenty of yummy sausages; there was plenty of space for her to lie down without disturbing other customers!The food, as always was lovely, and my portion of salmon on the eggs royale was so generous I loved it. And my sister already wants to go back, which we certainly will to try everything on their new menu!Thank you Piecebox crew! X

Interested to see someone found the restaurant helpful. Must have been a different chef. We had to go out to neighbouring supermarket to buy a salad and pasta for my daughter as the chef would not accommodate her intolerance. We had suggested he just fried her food in a separate pan from the other food but it fell on deaf ears!

This is one of the best cafes in the Polworth area, and how busy it usually is shows that. The decor is very charming and cosy, and the staff are super friendly. One of the main selling points is the extensive menu, and extensive vegetarian/ vegan/gf/dairy free options. My mum is a vegetarian and I can’t eat dairy so it was really nice to have plenty to choose from, including things like pancakes. The only negative here is that the service is pretty slow. We didn’t mind too much as we were happy sitting catching up, but after about 45 minutes we asked for an update. Again the staff were lovely and gave us some free drinks, just explaining how busy the kitchen was as all the customers had come in pretty rapid succession. The food eventually came about about an hour after ordering and it was delicious. I would come back here, and hope the extreme slowness was a one off...!

Piecebox is a chic little cafe located in Polwarth. It is ideal for a relaxing solo bite to eat or a catch up with friends. I had the macaroni with haggis which was nice. The only minor complaint I have is that when I ordered orange juice, ice wasn't put in my drink. Most places tend to put ice in a drink unless the customer expilcilty doesn't want ice. I suppose I'm being petty! Overall, this is a lovely little place and well worth a visit.

My partner and I have now been here several times for lunch. The food is great every time. The club sandwiches are amazing, and I can recommend the mac and cheese too. The raspberry brownie is just excellent. Their tea and coffee is great and the staff helpful. The wait for food is never too long and I love that it’s dog friendly. The tea pots and cups are nice and different, though I do find the fiddly wee handles on the cups a bit awkward. The only downside is that it’s a wee bit expensive. We would probably go more regularly if it were just a bit cheaper.

When Piece box first opened my family and I use to go fairy regularly for coffee/cake or even some time breakfast or lunch. We were always delighted at the idea of going. They did and still do by the looks of it, amazing milkshakes/ smoothies and cakes. My dog loved it also because it was the only coffee shop in Edinburgh where he was given a whole sausage and not those sausages out of Pets at the home, he was given the same as the humans.

I had late breakfast at Piecebox with my boyfriend for the first time. Nice, open space also dog friendly. I had the vegetarian breakfast which was excellent and my boyfriend enjoyed his english breakfast. He also ended up getting lactose free pancakes which was heaven for him. The only thing was the service, even though not busy, the servers were slow and rushing. I would definitely revisit.

Love the eclectic and chilled out vibe of this place at the weekend. It can get busy, especially around brunch time, but any wait is always worth it for the delicious food.

Lovely food for decent price. I found this place by accident whilst traveling in Edinburgh. It was a perfect way to end our trip before we headed home. We all had the Scottish breakfast as well as pancakes to share and one friend was veggie but she also had a lot she could choose from. Would definitely recommend. Only thing was we went in Summer and it was pretty hot inside with not much ventilation.

Lovely food and atmosphere; however our experience was ruined by the rudness of our waitor. He was very unwilling to check food ingredients for us as my friend can’t eat certain foods - even though she asked very politely. He was also very snappy when taking our order and clearly didn’t want to do more than the bare minimum. The other wait staff who served us later did a fantastic and above board job and made us feel a lot more welcome. Would go back but would hope we didn’t get served by that waiter again.

Nuestros amigos nos dijeron acerca de este lugar, tan contentos que ellos. Yo soy muy exigente con mi té y lo que me copa de té de hojas sueltas, y tazas de porcelana, este encantador es exactamente lo que consigues aquí. Junto con los pasteles más maravillosa. Algunas de las otras comidas se sirven parecía delicioso. Hacen su propia mermelada, tenían un gusto de mi amigo, para morirse. Fuimos un par de veces durante el borde así que estaba ocupado, pero siempre tiene un asiento. El servicio es estupendo, nada de problemas. Sin duda volveremos

Después de visitar varias veces, hoy fue la última vez! La comida siempre ha sido excelente, aunque caro. Depende de quién está trabajando, si usted tiene un gran servicio o terrible. Hoy fue el peor que he visto en cualquier parte del mundo. También hay varios riesgos de incendio, la puerta se puede abrir correctamente, los niños no son bienvenidos los perros conseguir un aperitivo enseguida, camareras de mal humor. No se me permitía alimentar a mí bebe de cuatro meses con nuestra propia leche - en otra visita (querían comprar su comida, sin duda ridículas como un bebé sólo leche materna o formular bebidas) De todos modos, este había sido discutido en mi grupo madres y pésimo servicio con pack había sucedido antes. La mayoría de las madres que nunca volvió. Hoy no nos volveremos. La camarera era antipático e incluso perdió la mitad de la comida en el camino a la mesa, comida aterrizó en nuestro puente. No era comida, reemplazaron apolpgize debate. muy triste.

No habíamos ido Piecebox por un largo tiempo y decidimos para comer hoy a lo largo de pop, no me decepcionó! Afortunadamente no estaba tan concurrido como me temía y el menú se ha expandido y mejorado desde la última vez que estuve allí, fue difícil elegir qué tienen como quería mucho! El almuerzo fue delicioso y toda la comida que estaba saliendo de la cocina parecía muy sabroso. Sin duda volveremos

This welcoming space was across the street from our hotel. Although service was on the slower side, it was made to order and very good. The restaurant was light and clean and a perfect place for a leisurely breakfast.
