The Baked Potato Shop edinburgh

5 out of 5. First time for me in Edinburgh, I come out of the station after 5 hours without eating and I ran into this tiny shop. The flavors were amazing, I can’t believe I never had anything like this before. I can’t wait to come back. I’m absolutely blown away by the simplicity and delicious combination they have. Love it

Found this little gem after Googling for something to eat. I love jacket potatoes so decided on a visit. It's a small location and we had ours to take away. From the outside it doesn't look the greatest and also inside looks a bit grubby but trust me don't let that fool you. Menu is very clear and the guy is very helpful. The jackets are super huge as your see and very and I mean very filling. Price is very reasonable too. Also don't be put off with the queue as this goes quick. Once we got home and tried these we was blown away with just how good the potatoes tasted and looked. We both had cheese and beans filling and my wife had a bit on salad on top of hers. Both our jackets were a Large size. If your looking for something to eat, try here you won't be disappointed.

Tiny little place for a veggie baked potato. Love going here when I visit Edinburgh. The veggie haggis is delicious. A little pricey and depending on staff they can sometimes seem like you are causing an inconvenience to them

Great option for vegetarians near central Edinburgh. We tried the Mexican and Haggis fillings and both were awesome.

Vegetarian-filled taters. An Edinburgh institution and I've been coming here for years. Food portions are massive. Fillings are all veggie but very tasty. It doesn't make a point of being a veggie takeaway, it just is. There's one wee eat-in table inside. If you're lucky enough to find a seat on it, be prepared to have interesting conversation with strangers. I've had some of my best random chats in here. Alternatively, sit on nearby Square steps and eat your tater there. Point deducted cos staff can sometimes be a bit precious.

For the price you get a huge potato with plenty of filling (both times I went there I've had to share it with my boyfriend as I considered it too much for just myself, and I can eat a big portion usually). The food is fresh, tasty and very wholesome, plus they have VEGAN options, which I needed. I will say this, the eat in space is quite small, and after 5 PM they only do takeaway, but it still didn't deter me from enjoying the meal.

Great little space, generous portions, highly recommend a visit! They clearly spend money on good quality produce as the potatoes and fillings were very tasty, unlike many other places who use cheap ingredients, you can really taste the difference! They even had a vegan spread (margarine) option which I was grateful for. Small details really make the difference and I will definitely be going back again!

Lovely potatoes, all vegetarian or vegan. Rather pricey, but very friendly and helpful staff. Small shop so not a guarantee you'll be able to sit. Definitely recommend the chili + cheese (although slightly spicy!)

We came from Ross on Wye for this! Love this place and never fails! Great food all the time. Of your new to the city this is a must to try. Plenty of choices on the menu. Vegan, vegetarian toppings. My favourite haggis! One thing we try and do is go local to eat and not chained restaurants. This place is number one in Edinburgh but that's me.

A lovely little vegetarian shop to have our lunch. I brought the large potato macsween haggis. The haggis was a surprisingly tasty addition to the potato. It was a great experience, with good hospitality. Would highly recommend if you are looking for a little bite.
