First of all the staff... You guys are super cool! Apart from good marketing on social media, the team welcoming you is fantastic, friendly and cheerful.Then the service... quick, effective, attentive, spot on.Lastly the food... not healthy of course but definitely mouthwatering, original and perfect for a Sunday brunch. Leave the mess at home for later. Who cares dusting, I need a mac n' cheese chicken wrap to keep me going!

Food was absolutely amazing. I had the Scran box buffalo chicken, and my partner had the Chipotle wrap. The portion sizes are very generous here. Would 100% return when i come back to Edinburgh 💙🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

At first I was skeptical, pasta in a wrap? But it was amazing, I definitely recommend. Also, you need to try their milkshakes! I got a takeaway then had to go back for another milkshake, so good!

Great food, reasonably priced. Friendly service. We went early for breakfast and when we left there was a queue out of the door! So would advise getting there early as they don’t take bookings. Highly recommend the breakfast roll (pictured below).

Stopped in here as it was chucking it down with rain. A bit disappointed everything seems to be served with chips which were just frozen standard french fries, no options for baked potato etc. Burgers big size. Chicken and pesto wrap unfortunately soggy as heated on a grill meant the pesto had separated and left the underside of wrap all greasy. Would have been better to offer it as a salad wrap cold. A bit pricey for lunch and better to be had elsewhere for less. Good coffee.

Stopped in here for lunch. The food was nice with large portions. Staff were pretty inattentive, even though there were more than enough employees for the number of people eating here. They brought out the wrong kind of drink - with ice despite my request for it without - and weren't particularly friendly either.It seemed the role of two of the waitstaff was to amble around the dining area with nothing to do. We waited maybe 15-20 minutes before anyone enquired if we were finished, enough time for roughly four laps around our table. The entire dining area, and all of its patrons, were situated in one small room.For a chain with multiple locations, you'd think its workers would have more accessible training.Complaints aside, the food - pictured below - was good, and the restaurant was aesthetically pleasing. I doubt we would return to any of their locations due to this experience, especially when there are plenty of other eateries with staff who at least pretend to be happy to see you.

The staff were all amazing, making sure we had everything we needed and just all around made it a great experience. The food was just as amazing with large portions and delicious homemade feeling food! I will definitely be going back.

It's not easy finding good food places in general but it's even harder when your on holidays. I looked up the best food places in Edinburgh and this was one of the top ones that came up. I definitely wasn't disappointed! Firstly, the portions are really generous secondly, the prices are very affordable and thirdly they have charging ports which is a must nowadays. I would've loved to give 5 stars but unfortunately some of the servers weren't very nice or attentive. I was left to be served by one gentleman who was really kind and pretty much doing everything for myself and other customers (deserves a raise). All in all I highly recommend Scran and give them a 4/5.

This place offers a serious feed for a very reasonable price, especially considering the location. The staff were great and I couldn’t even touch the second half of my wrap, because of the generous portions. Scran doesn’t advertise “brunch” because you eat it between breakfast and lunch… it combines both meals into one!! Also, treat yourself to a coffee - I haven’t been able to find a nicer one in an Edinburgh café yet!

Food and coffee was amazing, quick and friendly service and beautiful inside with a great location, but unfortunately the reason for only 3 stars is the worst toilet I have been to, in years, the toilet seat was broken, completely cracked in 3 different bits, the lid was behind the door, the toilet roll had to sit on top of the sink, which guess what it was wet n soggy. The floor, walls, mirror, toilet and sink were dirty, not like too many people used it since it had been cleaned, it has clearly not had a good proper clean in a while and lastly the hand dryer would take about an hour to dry your hands, it was so weak. Very disappointing after everything else was so good.For me a good venue make sure they look after all aspects of the business.
