BANGING ❤️ Best veggie breakfast I’ve had I years. The sausages were so good.
My partner had the small Scottish breakfast which was huge and with lots of meat. Staff were really friendly and attentive. Highly recommend.
A wonderful, welcoming cafe tucked away in the city. I had an amazing traditional Scottish breakfast which came with plenty of food (even for the small portion) at a very affordable price. The staff were friendly and helpful as well. Highly recommend!
The staff there was super friendly. The vibe was also good. Ordered a Scottish breakfast and it was cooked perfectly. The toast was surprisingly delicious.
This is a great wee place,
Coffee is good,Fry ups , Home made Macaroni, Steak pie . First class.Slice sausage and egg doubler if your needing a quick fix
best gluten free breakfast ever (left) with lorne sausage, haggis and the nicest gluten free bread I’ve ever had! Really good value for money too
Nice people great food made to order.
It is actually awesome food.
And busy busy busy.
Great convivial atmosphere thanks to a welcoming staff who are mindful of customers' individual needs. I really enjoyed my custom order breakfast and was pleased that the staff anticipated my dietary restrictions.
Places like this are worth more to a city than all the chain restaurants and coffee shops, and anyone who claims to value community should support them and also take a coffee to go.

Most friendly and welcoming cafe owner I’ve ever met. Amazing food, amazing value 😍. Myself and my boyfriend happened upon this place during our stay in Edinburgh and just had to go back every morning for breakfast!
Both being veggies we wanted a good hearty breakfast just without the meat. Thistles just hit the spot perfectly. I would just ask the owner what I should have and he’d make me something amazing. The value for money was amazing ! (Especially for two broke students!)
Not only did we have amazing food and great service. John the owner would even give us advice on where to visit during our stay, what to see, how to get there. Like our own local tour guide. Each morning we went back he’d come over ask how we were and what we got up to etc giving even more friendly advice on what to do.
We even got a sneaky free taste of the yummy caramel brownie! 😍
It’s clear to see how this place had such amazing reviews ! Well worth the visit. We loved it so much
Thank you to everyone in Thistles!
Excellent full Scottish, quick and friendly service + great prices
