Piecebox - Carte

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.

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.

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. Voir le carte

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.

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 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 p... Voir le carte

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 anythin...

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 12p...

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... Voir le carte
