Snax Cafe in Edinburgh, City of

Excellent small cafe providing fast, good value food. Very flexible menu. Basic seating inside for 4 people. Visited 0845 weekday, was in and out in about 5mins.

i didn't know ordinary foods like sandwiches can have a unique taste. this place proves it.

Shout out to Kirsten and the girls this is a fantastic place for breakfast! I keep coming back over and over again over the years and it never lets me down.

Don't have items available on the apps if you dont actually have it wasting everyone's time. Besides that based on previous times iv ordered the food is good hense the disappointment.

Great place, great prices! Simple but good and tasty!

Snax is a must go for anyone in Edinburgh! Always banging out the best food in the city! Amazing place I always drop in when in town

Loveliest people to chat to, delicious sandwiches

For the price it's very good - practical for short lunch breaks and small budgets.

Foods made quickly, very nice too

Not the kind of place you can eat in as it gets crowded. Due to being small and busy the service can be slow, but everything is cooked fresh when you order. A cooked breakfast makes a change to ham sandwiches, definitely worth a visit.

A small breakfast place, rather local and takeaway in a box, but you can eat on site. A friend invited me here. For me, the food was too greasy and I didn't like it. I prefer a different type of venue.

Used this place regularly but thinking for a while it's gone down hill this morning I returned 2 rolls 1 sliced sausage I link sausage They were burt black dry terrible selling this to customers I was told they are cooked omg yes to a singers I got refunded

Delicious and friendly. Exactly what a breakfast cafe should be. Don't go if your head is up your own ass and you're going to get upset about a bit of dirt on the windowsill.

It opens from 7. There is no room for more than 5-6 people to sit. Cheap prices, average quality, fast service and average coffee.

Great breakfast rolls, not fancy, not expensive, just blooming delicious! 😋

Price Performance local breakfast

Fab..our go to breakfast spot. Where Local construction workers go, you know is good, with fair prices. Great seeing 5 women running this pkace and doing well for themselves.

Restaurant in the center of Edinburgh, it is perfect for grabbing food and taking away since the interior location is small, but it is worth it, the portions are abundant and it is not expensive, it is simply not on the busiest street. Perfect to come to eat or have breakfast and continue seeing the city

Spot on for the money. Proper cafe with a good menu.

Horrible! Small and dirty cafe on a stuffy street, Portions are really small compared to the price, burnt buns instead of toast.

Great service from friendly staff. Food is unreal. Love the cosy vibes of such a small cafe in the centre of town

Proper greasy spoon. Come here for a traditional quality breakfast. Nothing fancy but exactly what a traditional breakfast should be. Tattie scones and Scottish slice were to die for! Superb👌 If you want fancy , this isn't it. But for me a traditional full Scottish/English/Welsh shouldn't be fancy at all. This is perfect for what I was looking for. Can't recommend it enough

A brilliant Greasy Spoon in the heart of Edinburgh. We'd a lovely veggie breakfast there. Simple, tasty & filling. Exactly what you want from a greasy spoon cafe.

The perfect place for breakfast in Edinburgh. They have a wide variety of options to choose from at a very good price for what the city is like. They attend and serve quite quickly, and they are also very friendly. There was a problem with our order and they solved it immediately. It doesn't have much space to sit although they also offer it to take away.

Tasty enough full breakfast but on the small side. The shop is also super cramped.

Amazing Scottish Breakfast will definitely back.

Best hash browns, nice coffee, very quick and cheap.

The greasy-est of greasy spoons in the bets way possible an Edinburgh Institution where you can meet Celebrities and Office workers and Tradies all queing up for there morning roll.

My second time here and I'll definitely be back! Amazing Scottish breakfast wrap for a very good price. As this place is mentioned in various tourist guides it's usually quite busy but I got a seat as well. Thank you 😊

Great breakfast for the price. Stopped here before getting on the LNER. Convenient and quick. They don't take cash so be prepared to pay with a card. My only regret is that I didn't check my bag before leaving. I ordered for 3 ppl and got am extra panini for later. It wasn't in the bag but I didn't notice when I got to the train. 😑 So ill take half the blame for that. Either way the breakfast sandwich was incredibly filling.

Unbelievable, best breakfast takeaway in the city.

Great little food place. The prices are insanely low and the food was really good. Ideal for a quick bite to eat. The breakfast was really nice.

If you're hungry but don't have a lot of money, go here.

Just pleased to see this is still open and little altered since I used it regularly about twenty years ago. The choice of bread was rather limited but still good quality and value for snacks and hot drinks.

The essence of a full Scottish breakfast. Cheap, fast and decent.

Small spot for a morning eat. I had the full breakfast, that was quite nice. Some hits some misses. The place itself is quite small and while I ate I got the impression that most people get their rolls or wraps to go. Might try this next time.

Excelente lugar para el desayuno. Calentamiento del corazón. Precios razonables. Servicios buenos y rápidos. Poco espacio para cenar. Ambiente cálido y acogedor.

Unfortunately it was later on on a Saturday,so no eat in options but the breakfast wrap was good value,hot and fresh....

Very delicious food with a reasonable price, the service is very fast, recommended

Very nice place for a breakfast! Small area but tasty and local We had the all day breakfast which was good and you can ask to change ingredients if you want, the tea as well ! Not a big fan of the cappuccino though

We stopped at Snax as it was across the street from a bookstore and it had 4.4 ⭐️s on Google. We wanted to visit the bookstore without feeling famished the whole time. Short story short: I do NOT recommend unless you: - like crowded tables and chairs that are not cleaned (dirty napkin in the condiment basket, crumbs on the table) - don’t mind a restroom where the toilet paper and paper towels are perched on the dirty windowsill - don’t need a glass of ice for your water or soda - don’t mind bland food - the cheddar cheese was the tastiest thing on my plate. - no gluten-free bread/wrap options Pros - - cheap - near a great bookstore, Till’s - close to The Meadows - sufficient for poor college students, one of which I used to be but no longer am

Delicious and quick full Scottish breakfast! We loved the haggis and black pudding.

Nice roll n sausage.. Bit too pricey though.. Shame, could be epic 😔

Located in an alley and right by motel one. I got breakfast quickly and it was a great value. Recommend take away. We took to our room and ate before we had to leave for a flight. I appreciated the full breakfast in a hurry while on a tight schedule. Great value.

Came across this at random today and thought I would give it a go considering the prices. A literal hole in the wall with some cheap deals. Good for breakfast or lunch if you are looking for something simple and easy.

The food was really disappointing, had a large breakfast and couldn’t finish half of what I was given. The bread was very dry, the sausages were mushy and overcooked. The black pudding and eggs were alright, but it wasn’t a great experience. Dining in also costs a pound more for mains, although the staff told us upfront, the menu outside did not say anything of the sort.

It is indeed a busy restaurant with many people having take away. However the taste does not really good...

Chose Snax as it was open earlier than everywhere else. Really good coffee and food was hot, fresh and delicious.

This is a great little stop for a takeaway breakfast. We came here every morning of our trip because it was so good !

Como estadounidense, disfruté de este lugar porque ofrece desayunos americanos! Tengo una baguette llena de huevos revueltos, tocino y queso. El pan y la comida eran sabrosos! Pero no es un restaurante. Es principalmente una pequeña cocina que ofrece unas cuantas sillas altas para sentarse junto a la ventana y / o para llevar. Sin embargo, la comida es increíble!

Cute little place for breakfast. Impressive value

Disgusting burger and long service.

Been going here for years still my favorite for takeaway food

Exactly what I was looking for! A local grease shop, delivering a full Scottish at low cost. Delicious all around, no complaints.

Little takeaway café with stools for in eating. The biggest breakfast was tasty warm and not at all greasy. For the price it's a real deal. The latte was well prepared and of better quality than Costa for 35% cheaper price. Been just couple of minutes from Wakerley station, snax box is ideal for a quick breakfast before a morning train.

made my fry up wrong missing items that I payed for but won't come back to collect it to change it. absolute joke of a cafe and won't be ordering again

Pequeño café que ofrece múltiples opciones de desayuno diferentes. El bollo era agradable y suave, sin embargo, el resto era promedio. La salchicha sabía a richmonds y solo tengo un raspador de tocino.

Small place in an internal street, not touristy because it is frequented by workers where you can find an authentic English breakfast with a wide choice, including vegetarian ones. Don't let the outside appearance stop you.

Little cafe offering multiple different breakfast options. The bun was nice and soft however the rest was average. The sausage tasted like richmonds and I only got one rasher of bacon.

Although it is small, the house exudes a local atmosphere. The taste of the coffee was a bit disappointing, but it was ok for the cost!!

Our go-to breakfast joint when in the city center. Great hospitality, great prices, quality food and coffee. Will continue to come back and sing its praises to fellow visitors!

Go for the triple if you're hungry.

the breakfast wrap has just cured my depression

For a breakfast in Edinburgh this is the best option! Quite a hearty sausage, bacon or egg sandwich for £3, it doesn't exist anywhere else! The coffee is really good too. Of course the place is small, but the idea is not to spend an hour there. I therefore highly recommend!

I was forced to get a take away even though I wanted to dine in. The staff also didn't provide any cutlery which made it even more difficult to dine outside the cafe. Behavior of the staff extremely inappropriate.

They had good vegan breakfast with hasbrowns, baked beans and so on! Not the nicest place to sit, but there is a park nearby where you can sit and eat (-:

Delicious breakfast at a low price. It doesn't blow you away, but it's good value for money. More to be taken away, as there are only a few, rather uncomfortable places inside.

Yes that's right, this is where you redeem breakfast vouchers of Princes Street Hostel (Sunday only). The breakfast vouchers purchased for £4.20 will get a breakfast roll (priced at three pounds) and a hot drink (priced at two to three pounds).Be warned though, you can only take away. but that's not a problem, considering its price. There were two sausages in my link sausage roll and the latte tasted great. It's easy for you to find it too, just go down the road (the side with the Japanese restaurant), turn the corner, and you'll see it!

Very good place to have breakfast

Very tasty breakfast in a tiny place. Everyone was so kind, thanks.

Hungover student breakfast with my over-indulgent daughter! Fab full fry up at a bargain price. Great to get an actual mug of tea too. The epitome of a buget-friendly, no frills cafe.

If you’re looking for an affordable breakfast/lunch spot… look no further! Came twice and was surprised to find out that the sub roll is £3.90 no matter what you put in it whilst the breakfast roll I got with two items was £4. Everything was fresh, premises were clean and staff super helpful and friendly.

Great breakfast and very reasonably priced.

Very good and economical food, the place is small to eat there

Sat inside and ordered the "all veggie day " and an Americano. The coffee was surprisingly good with an acidic taste and hits of bitter chocolate. Every bit of the plate was tasty and simple. I had my doubts as I wanted something traditional but not greasy. They aced it. Would be great to have the door closed to keep an nice warm atmosphere.

A budget cafe with good value for money if you on the move

Place just off the main streets frequented by workers and locals who stop to grab a specialty. The interior is very small, just 5 stools and a counter corner (and 2 external benches) you order take away both simple toasts/sandwiches and more complete breakfasts with vegetarian choices. Coffee in various types, tea, various drinks. Fair prices and you finish your meal satisfied. Well done!

fantastic prices, great coffee, lots of vegan options, easy filling food. perfect breakfast in my book!

Was just here. Breakfast wrap was delicious and reasonably priced which was helpful for this traveler :) would definitely come back, might even come back tomorrow!

Nice place to stop for breakfast.

Decent little cafe. Not much space for eating in

Took forever for a breakfast to come out (my wife had received and finished hers by the time I got mine)- and after that wait they’d managed to get the order wrong. Gave up and left with £6 down the drain.

Great place to pick up a hearty breakfast at a good price. It's mainly takeaway but with four or five high stools if you want to eat in

Snax Cafe is a fantastic low key hole-in-the-wall breakfast spot with no pretentions. Serving coffee, tea, and a variety of breakfast options including rolls, sandwiches, and paninis. It is a great for a breakfast on the go while heading to catch a train at Waverley or walking Princes St.

Great place for a cheap breakfast, everything is cooked fresh and is always spot on!

The snap cafe must've had a refurb since the last time I was there. It's always mobbed. The food is freshly prepared, so expect to wait a few minutes. 👍

I ordered a chicken wrap this past Monday and got food poisoning from this! Please check your food’s expiry dates I believe your chicken was totally off! I also had to wait about 20 min for this to be made.

The food was relatively good but the service is suuuuper slow. I spent a couple of days in that area, tried different foods and I believe this was one of the best cafes in the neighborhood so far. The portions are adequate as I ate the wrap as a brunch and was full until night.

Such an underrated place. I'm so glad I decided to visit because honestly, this was my best experience with haggis and I tried it at 3 other places that were much higher-end. The breakfast haggis they serve is fried and tasted so good and the price is just so worth it.

Best breakfast I've had in years. Scottish breakfast wrap was amazing . The ladies were really lovely and even did a bit of plain toast for my fussy daughter. Set us up for the day ! Thank you .

Great ! 5 minutes from the bus station.. hidden in a small street, very easy to find, very good value for money for a typical breakfast upon arrival in Scotland ☺️

Great and possibly best option for traditional breakfast lovers in Edinburgh's center. Eggs, beans, bacon, black pudding, haggis, tomato, hash browns, sausages... it's all there. Small, busy, locals, great prices.

Nice cheap and cheerful option. I got the Mexican chicken and cheese and chips. super solid option!

The café is quite small and if you want to eat there, you'll need a bit of luck. We had the biggest and the bigger breakfast and 2 cappuccini. The service was friendly and the coffee is GREAT for outside Italy (I say that as an Italian). The food is ok, the portions are generous. All in all we paid 24 euros. If you want space and peace and quiet, weatherspoon is a better option... except for the coffee, which is terrible.

It was so unbelievably slow and the food is just not impressive. Since it was taking too long for orders to come out, people were leaving without their food or crammed into the tiny seating area making it really uncomfortable as you waited. It took about 45 minutes to get two breakfast wraps. McDonald’s is right down the street and my recommendation over this place.

Got the veggie breakfast, tatty scones are amazing

Perfect place to go when you crave the traditional fry up on a roll.. or two!

Lovely food and cheap prices - half the price of anywhere else I found in the city centre. Not much seating available - maybe enough for 8 people max on benches around the window. Great for takeaways and people were even ordering via deliveroo from there.

Everything is great; fast, rich and very cheap

Great cafe to go to for Breakfast.. Very reasonably priced
