Archipelago Bakery

“Beautiful bakery, quality products, customer friendly service.”

I’ve been meaning to try this place for some time & I wanted to like it, but I didn’t have the best recent experience compared to other bakeries in Edinburgh. The main positive was the vegan banana & coconut cake which was lovely, but my cheese toastie was disappointingly pretty burnt. I know some people don’t mind it like this, but I’m not a fan. On top of this, the two waitresses seemed to have tension between each other & one seemed to be unaware that their tone towards the other wasn’t the friendliest in front of the customers, which affected the vibe for me.

Very few places in Edinburgh offer organic bread and I’d say Archipelago takes first place! The wholemeal loaf, and the harvester loaf, were both sublime. Great for a sandwich on the day, and made lovely toast the following day. Keep up the good work.

Pear and plum cake was divine in every way as were the cinnamon buns. Definitely my new go-to when in central Edit: I returned the next day to sample more of their bakes and can confirm the spanacopita (flaky spinach bake) tastes as good as it looks. The vegan sausage roll had a smoky chipotle flavour to it, crumbles as you break it up - was nice but not really my thing. We also tried the small jam almond cookies which were decadent and chewy

Little bakery just off the heart of Edinburgh. Lovely service, and great food. Had a scone with jam and a home baked sourdough toast with cheese and apple chutney accompanied by some premium orange juice. Reasonable prices for great food.
