The Glad Cafe CIC

Such a wonderful lively cafe! The “everything all at once” is the perfect choice. A plate full of deliciousness! The cafe is 100% plant based! It’s only about 45 min from the airport in Edinburgh! Great place to stop and get brunch after a long flight!

Great venue with rustic features. The service was a bit chaotic! 2 out of 3 starters arrived, they’d run out of starter 3 so we swapped it but that starter arrived after our mains so it was a waste as we didn’t eat most of it. Two burgers came with one chips that were warm, a while later burger 3 arrived, then later still two more chips arrived.. the seitan burger with haggis & cheese was amazing but it was served on a very small plate with no room for moving it around… if we went back I’d make sure the order of food arriving! Also the toilet situation is very odd! There’s clearly been a female toilet with three stalls & sinks, male toilet with stalls & urinals but they’ve taken the signs off the doors & anyone can use any toilet, so it excludes any females that want a single sex female only toilet. I felt very uncomfortable using the toilet & wouldn’t again. They do have a disabled toilet that you can use with lockable doors which I’d recommend using

Worst burger ever tasted. Visitor to city & looked at menu outside. Noticed chicken, burger & hot dog options. Thought we give it a go & ordered our drinks & food. Food came & wasn't as expected. Bacon cheese burger looked "different".. Looking over the menu again, stuck in the bottom corner of the menu in the smallest writing is it's a 100% Vegan menu!! Why hide the fact you are Vegan food unless you are trying to mislead the public which we were. Chicken burger & fillets, burger patties, sausages & bacon... Vegan isn't chicken & bacon as described. Even on their webpage it's really hard to find it's a 100% vegan menu. We are definitely NOT Glad we walked in. Be warned!

All the food was incredible and a really cool vibe inside! Can't wait to come back and try everything on the menu!

Great wee place for drinks and gigs, the food was nice but took a long time to arrive and when it did arrive it was pretty sparse. We ordered the corn dog which was supposed to come with chips,a pizza and a portion of chips, don't know if they forgot the additional fries or just put them in the one basket but it was a bit sparse for two. What we had was delicious and the ambience was great so I will be back.
