Crumbs of Portobello — Restaurant in City of Edinburgh

Crumbs is in our eyes the perfect place to sweeten up your trip to Porty beach. We love to come here for the incredible Crepes, that are really well filled, and cheaper than Crepes at the Christmas market for example.

Their breakfast rolls smell amazing and have a decent selection of toppings but sell out rather quickly usually. There is some seating placed at the promenade and as the waiting times can be long, there is typically a table available at some stage during your wait. Everyone is really friendly. Do listen out for your order number, as the gulls can be somewhat loud. Food is picked up at the truck, however, if you are struggling to get your food (wheelchair, walking aids and such), we did see them bring food to people on occasion. During the week the wait is short at most times, however, weekend mornings and really sunny days can lead to very long waits - which are definitely worth it.

Our personal recommendation is the Banana and Biscoff Crepe, although a classic Nutella crepe will certainly fill your Nutella needs here. If you plan a whole morning in Porty, but don’t feel like a proper breakfast restaurant, we recommend starting your day with breakfast at Crumbs, enjoying the promenade with a long walk and then heading to Civerinos for a lunch time pizza. If you have a dog with you, Crumbs sell a type of liver cake that our future dog will certainly get to indulge in. So far they always had crepe dough left when we came, no matter when we have visited. We’ll be back again! The only question remains: biscoff or...

A bit disappointed with the service. We ordered 2 hot chocolates and a Nutella crepe.

Both the hot chocolates were not hot at all, they were cold chocolates but the crepe was good. They offered to replace hot chocolates or give us refunds, and we happily accepted the refund. That was nice about them.

They have a Nutella hot chocolate option which comes with whipped cream topped with Nutella and marshmallows. The whipped cream with Nutella was really really tasty, leading to a ‘cold chocolate’ inside, but that’s alright.

Their prices are pretty reasonable. £3.5 for a large Hot Chocolate and £6 for a Nutella crepe.

It’s by the Portobello beach, so the location is the best part about it. They have an open seating area right in front of it and also a closed cozy seating area right beside their van.

The staff was pretty...

I loved going here for a coffee to go, as staff was friendly, dog loved it there and the coffee was good. Unfortunately after today will stop coming as I saw the barista pour regular milk instead of soya milk into my drink and lie about it. Since I am lactose intolerant I could tell it contained regular milk as I spent the next hour with stomach cramps and feeling sick in the bathroom. Pity as I loved going to your cafe and never had a problem before, but if I cannot trust you with my health, there’s no way I am coming back. Please be mindful next time, people asking and paying more for alternatives to food and drinks usually do not do it for fun but because...
