It was excellent - the best baked potato shop anywhere. So sad to see it close. It will be greatly missed.

The best potatoes in town! Seriously. You can’t get fed quite as much yummy food for the price point they offer anywhere else in town. If you’re on a budget, if you need to meet a variety of dietary requirements, if you just love potatoes as much as I do! The Potato shop is a staple of Edinburgh. Love them!

Baked potato place without meat (vegetarian and vegan). Tried three toppings, they were all delicious (haggis, cheese/onion/pineapple and a spinach/bean salad). The potatoes could have been warmer. The place is quite small, ideal for a quick stop. The ladies were lovely.

Amazing baked potato with an array of delicious fillings. Plenty of veggie and vegan options - we’d recommend the vegan haggis or the spinach salad. This place has the science of cooking the perfect baked potato down to an absolute tee! Not much seating but both times we’ve been we haven’t had a problem. It’s a little gem to fill you up in the heart of Edinburgh.

Para mi es una buena opción para coger energía rápido y seguir paseando las calles de Edimburgo, tiene solo 3 mesitas para sentarse, pero está súper céntrico. La patata estaba en su punto Justo de cocción, puedes añadirle mantequilla sal y pimienta opcional, todo opciones veganas/vegetarianas. Pedimos Huggies vegetarianos y estaban ricos y chili (que dijo que picaba 4/10 pero que bah, picaba más). Los dos menus en total fueron 14,5£ por lo que el precio es súper bueno y las raciones tiene un tamaño ideal👍🏼 Los dos chicos atendían un poco lento para mi gusto, aunque fueron amables.

My family spent four days in Edinburgh and went here twice. We'd have gone every day if it had worked in our timeline. The potatoes here are ah-mazing. My 13-year-old's favorite food is a baked potato and this was her FAVORITE meal while we were in Edinburgh. I highly recommend the vegan haggis as a topping. Maintaining a vegan diet while traveling is challenging, but this place was a gift from vegan heaven. The service was also exceptional. I wish I had gotten the names of the employees while we were there. The first day we went was quiet and cozy. The second day we came a rush came in right after us. The girl behind the counter maintained a positive and respectful demeanor while handling some VERY challenging, rude, and messy customers. She was working her butt off and we appreciated her ability to stay calm because we wouldn't have been able to. If you can make it in, do it! Especially if you're vegan or vegetarian.

Was looking forward to popping by here as haven't been for a good while but was really disappointed shouldn't have bothered. Couldn't fault the two staff members but the spuds were woeful... The grated cheese filling was too hard to be able to melt a bit inside the lukewarm spud. Might be an idea to not have the cheese so "frozen" and guessing if had chosen all hot fillings the spuds themselves would have been warmed by this perhaps but surely a spud should be served piping hot regardless of filling chosen....

The potato was good and there was a good portion. The filings offered had a great variety.The potato with 2 fillings was £7.50 which was a little overpriced. Also they give a potato and a half for the portion which is classed as large and the only option . I would rather get a regular and pay less and eat less!They have a meal deal with one filling which is on the board but the markings are not clear on how to add more filings. Overall good and tasty hot lunch!

We went here on recommendation and were not disappointed. Easily overlooked, being small and off the main High Street, it is chiefly a takeaway but has a few seats and tables. Potatoes were hot and stuffed with fillings, of which there is a good range suitable for all diets. Friendly service and very reasonable prices. The slight negative was that wiping down of tables was not thorough or Covid-compliant.

Fuimos de casualidad a este local en el que hacen patatas rellenas asadas para llevar pero también puedes comerlas allí (hay dos pequeñas mesas). La comida es excelente, vegana y vegetariana, las raciones son grandes (no pudimos terminarlas y nos las puso en una cajita para llevar) y el precio bastante económico (17£ por 4 patatas gigantes). Los rellenos son una delicia y no son fritos, lo que se agradece después de descubrir gran parte de la gastronomía escocesa. Lugar muy recomendable! Volveremos.

If you find yourself in Edinburgh (perhaps even during the summer festival which usually falls in August of each year) and are willing to spend a little for lunch and avoid the usual macdonalds or fast food, I recommend you try the baked potatoes for 'Baked Potatoes Shop 'offering baked potatoes stuffed with various ingredients that everyone decides on the spot! I have tried stuffed with onion and cheese (the yellow orange that you find only in Scotland!) A potato is a meal, practically, a viable alternative to macdonalds! The store is located in Cockburn Street, which is one side of the Golden Miles (descending from the Castle you will be found on the left side in a curve of the Golden Miles).

This used to be my favourite place to eat in Edinburgh and have been going for well over 10 years now. We left feeling upset that this shop seems to have lost all the charm and uniqueness that it once had. Now selling chips?? The refurb has completely taken away all the character the old place had. Blank, grey walls and tacky furniture replaces what used to be a cosy atmosphere with a rustic vibe, despite the lack of seating which never really bothered me anyway. Thankfully the fillings were much the same although the portion size was not. There didn't seem to be any clear description of what each filling was though (used to have a big board with all of them all on).Although the potatoes were nice they were certainly not as I had remembered. A "large" potato today would probably be the same size as a "small" when the "small, medium or large" options were available. However, the price remains the same and what used to be good value for money made me feel slightly ripped off (and embarrassed as I wasn't the one paying). Over £12 for 2 potatoes seemed unjustifiedWe sat in and were presented with the potatoes in a small bowl/dish with metal cutlery which matched the unsightly interiors. The service was fairly nice, not very chatty but polite nonetheless. Unfortunately they had the music a bit too loud which slightly tainted the experience more, not to mention them skipping songs every 5 seconds from downstairs as we ate. In the past when I've sat in the place has been buzzing with people flowing in and out. It may well have just been a quiet day but not a single person came through the door as we were in there. The place just looks and feels like your bog standard takeaway now.When telling a friend about the changes later in the day they asked if we would go back and unfortunately with a heavy heart I had to say I don't think I would.

I’ve been going to this shop for 10 years. This place USED to be amazing and I would bring all my guests here to try the potatoes. I was proud to show this shop off to my friends, not anymore!The shop has recently undergone a well needed refurb but it has totally lost its charm and filled with uniform seating and grey walls. Why nothing on the walls? Why aluminium seating? In the past you’d get the choice of potato size- small, medium and large and the portion size actually reflected that! The toppings were plentiful and you could compliment your meal with a vegan cake - where have these gone?The new sizing is not what it was. The large simply isn’t, it’s a normal sized potato. The extra large- they just choose a slightly larger potato. This place used to have customers queuing out of the door for its portions and toppings, not now and there is a reason why. To pay £6.99 for a regular sized potato with 2 toppings is steep. This business is losing customers due to ripping customers off now. Potatoes aren’t expensive and bulk buying the toppings isn’t expensive. Either charge less or give better portions or you will continue to see your profits dive.

I lived in Edinburgh a long time ago and was visiting this weekend for Christmas shopping. I made a point of visiting the potato shop because it used to be my favourite. The potatoes are cooked to perfection for my taste, soft and fluffy inside and well cooked but soft skin. I got cheese and soured cream and my bf got cheese and beans. They're really not cheap for what you get to be honest, £6.99 for a large potato (big but not gigantic) and 2 fillings. I don't think you get your money's worth if you get the basic fillings like we did. Still an absolute gem of a place to get a good lunch, just be prepared for a queue on busy days!

We went here more as a curiosity than for a good meal. Our potatoes were huge and they were not very expensive. There are many toppings, most of which (to our American tastebuds) were both odd combinations of food and also things we would not normally put on a potato. But we enjoyed it. The service was fast.

Hier bekommt man, wie der Name schon sagtn Kartoffeln. Die Füllung kann man sich aus einer Auswahl an verschiedenen Salaten, fleischhaltigen und veganen Alternativen selbst aussuchen und ganz nach dem eigenen Geschmack gestalten.

Terrible Customer Service !- I went to the shop with my family that came from out of the country - I had to translate the toppings which took less then 3 minutes - there were no customers behind us ! When I had asked which topping he would recommend, I was advised in a very aggressive voice to ring the bell when I am sure what order I would like - I had smiled and rang the bell to place my order - when I had started speaking he threw the items he had on the counter and I had asked him why he was not happy and I was advised to leave the store immediately and i would not be served ! When a coworker came up the stairs to ask what we would like he advised him to not serve us and cursed us going downstairs ! This was a very upsetting experience for us and my family and I wanted to address this with the manager - I had contacted the team 4 times over Facebook messenger for over a week and was not provided with a contact person - I am sure your potatoes are amazing but being thrown out of a store for asking for help is upmost upsetting and very sad for an establishment which has such a good reputation since this is how businesses also can suffer since staff that is treating others this way is not acceptable ! I hope this will get addressed !

This place is a lovely healthy option to have when out and about in Edinburgh. There are a good variety of topping options, including a lot of vegan options. Only small complaint is that the potato was a little soggy.

This is the perfect spot for jacket potatoes! They have so many different toppings choices. Perfect for vegetarians.

The Baked Potato Shop is on Cockburn, just a few steps off of the Royal Mile. We had this place recommended by friends, but didn't plan on trying it. Then... there it was... right when we wanted a quick lunch, so... This is a tiny shop, with only one table inside for dining, most people eat outside as they stroll. We were lucky to get there 15 minutes before opening, but they let us in and so we got the only table! Basically, you order a potato (one huge potato!) and the hot or cold topping of your choice. The potatoes are wonderful, toppings good, atmosphere priceless! The walls are covered in avant garde posters for bohemian cafe entertainment, giving you a sense of being in the Haite Ashbury District of San Francisco! OK... this is not a place to go for great dining. But it is a place to go for a kitchy dining experience for fast food, without the MickyD fatty foods! Definitely an experience that we enjoyed.

My friend (an omnivore who also had the vegan haggis) had been before and demanded we go for lunch. I was blown away by the options for vegans, and the vegan haggis did no disappoint. The potatoes are huge and buttery soft inside, with lovely skins. The haggis is nutty and spiced beautifully, perfect on a drizzly day walking around the city!

Food was excellent and the service was excellent. This should have been the title. The choice on the menu is unsurpassable and even though I’m not a vegetarian I choose wisely with the chimichanga and enjoyed every mouthful. The drinks were fairly fast and the service was great. Two of our parties meals did not arrive until they retook their order. Slightly annoying as I don’t eat until everyone has food. After this it went a bit sour as the toilet was, how to put this, wet and not with water from the taps. It was a good job I put my shoes back on. They were also downstairs which is annoying. Then the bill came with the service charge already added. Not sure if it’s polite to ask for it to be removed. Worked out it was £2.50pp, roughly. Recommend to others; maybe, it might be the way forward that service is added and I have to ‘man up, snowflake’ but the toilets, nah! Return again; gotta. The food was amazing.

amazing staff, wonderful place, horrible food and most importantly horrible cappuccinos.

I would avoid this shop. The waitress is busy looking at the cutlery and misses the moment to serve you. Prices are sometimes cheeky, considering that a 10% tip is automatically calculated. The meat was very tasty and good, although not cooked to the desired doneness.

My husband and I came for the 7-course dinner almost a year ago, and were so blown away by the food that we wanted to bring our daughters back to enjoy the experience. Having raved about the food, we then thought that we might have over-hyped it and they would be disappointed. We needn't have worried. The 7-course meal, accompanied by the phenomenal flight of wines, was as delicious, unfussy, and indulgent as we had remembered it, set in relaxed and unpretentious surroundings, with wonderfully friendly and attentive staff. And worth every penny - we've paid a lot more for far less. Definitely our most memorable meal in a long time, for all the right reasons - Purslane alone is worth a trip to this beautiful city.

We visited this beautiful wee gem tucked away in this pleasant suburb of Edinburgh: Newington. The lovely couple who own it ( and two sister restaurants in the city) explained they have changed their emphasis to wine by the glass or bottle with upmarket snacks from local high quality suppliers such as Iain Mellis cheese. We loved the cosy autumn into winter vibe: beautiful tasteful lighting enhanced this. They have a truly fabulous selection of wine to suit all tastes. We can’t wait to go back!
