Greggs

This is one of the better Greggs locations that I’ve been to. It’s reasonably large, with some seats so you don’t have to take the food away. The selection is good– baguettes, bacon rolls, steak and chicken bakes, etc. etc. There are also loads of sweet treats such as doughnuts and eclairs. I really like Greggs for the selection it provides. On top of this, the prices are excellent, so you’re guaranteed a good value breakfast or lunch. There are deals such as bacon roll and coffee for £2, a perfect start to the day.
One thing I will say though, is that the food is sometimes cold if it’s been out a long time. I’ve been disappointed by tepid chicken bakes a few times, and I really dislike this. However, it’s not happened a lot, so I will be back in the future nonetheless.

This is a great Gregg’s location.
I’ve stopped in many times, usually in the morning right when they open. I have to say that first off, the staff here is quite nice. I like them. They are friendly and that makes a big difference in the morning when you are just starting your day. They handle big queues better than a lot of places in town. The line move quickly and they work to get everyone on their way happily.
One thing to note: this location has a lot of «little old ladies» that stop in for coffee in the morning (probably longer than I’ve been alive) and there appears to be many other «regulars» here. That is something usually only good service can bring about. So I do trust this location for that reason. Same people every morning stop in.
I like their doughnuts, sausage rolls, steak and cheese rolls, and even their pizzas. It is almost always fresh when I order and the prices are unbeatable. Seriously. No one even comes close to their prices. They have great sandwich deals as well, with a drink for well under £5.00.
I like this Gregg’s location and plan on being back. Probably in the morning.

The food is lovely and freshly made everyday. They have a range of pastries and cakes, they also have a widely ranged amount of sandwiches and baguettes.
They also do meal deals, at lunch time and in the morning, the lunch time deal costs only £3.50 and you get a sandwich, drink and crisps and in the morning deal you get a hot roll and also a hot drink for only £2.
The prices are very cheap and you can’t really go wrong with a gregs.

Oh Greggs. I owe you one.
I’ve lost count of the amount of times this place has sorted me out. It’s hangover food essentially, but damn good hangover food! They have brilliant sandwiches that are all made fresh daily, and their cakes are yummy. Their sausage rolls are what save my life.
This place is almost always full of students, looking for their fix. It’s always busy, and the staff are lovely. You can’t really go wrong with Greggs.

Woahhhh the cheapness of Greggs sends me in to a frenzy!
In the beginning of my stay in Edinburgh, I expected the quality to be sub-​par, because how else can one explain a sausage role for £0.58! It’s crazy that one can buy a sizeable snack at Greggs even if all you have in your pocket is a little jingle jingle.
Apart from the sausage rolls, which are pretty awesome, I’m a big fan of the cheese and onion pasty, as well as the ham and cheese bake. I can’t count the number of times I’ve snuck a Gregg’s pastry into the school library. Then there’s the sweet counter, with lots of cupcakes and muffins!
Greggs is about 70 years old, and is a chain bakery, with several outlets in Edinburgh. The only issue I have is that as busy as they are, the shops are quite small with lines sometimes extending to the door! However, service is extremely quick, albeit impersonal.
For what they sell, and at the price they do, I’m definitely a grateful fan.

Greggs is one of the big bakery chains in Edinburgh.
Things going for this particular store:
–central
–cheap food (with good meal deals)
–fast service
This not so good:
— bad location in front of a busy bus stop
— It’s quite small for the flow of business it receives and ques at lunch time (all the way outside!)
— rude service (although quite understandable with the variety of often rude clientele)
— There are other more interesting sandwich places quite close by.
These basically some up my points. It’s ideal if you are hungry and need a snack immediately then head here for something warm and satisfying. The cupcakes are fairly decent as well.

I have always been a huge fan of Gregg’s Mexican chicken oval bite, I did go off Greggs all together a while ago but my cravings for the oval bites are back with a vengence and I’ve been getting them for lunch every other day the past couple of weeks. At £1.90 they’re very reasonable and surprisingly filling even though they’re not that much too look at.
This branch is well stocked and has a good selection of cakes too, I got a super tasty Empire Biscuit the other week and the icing was super moist, yum!
Typical Greggs I guess but this one has a good selection and the staff are friendly too.

I’ve been quite a harsh critic of Greggs in my previous reviews of some of their Glasgow branches. For the most part, I stick by my opinions that the staff are generally hostile, the food revolting, and that the continued success of the company will result in shorter lives for us all.
In a dramatic twist of fate though, this particular branch has provided me with a few pleasant surprises. I once managed to get a morning roll with proper crispy bacon, and their new cake, the maple pecan slice is approximately one hundred times tastier than anything else I’ve ever eaten from here.
Perhaps most shockingly of all, the staff were actually quite friendly and cheerful, despite their obvious feelings of misery. Good work Greggs.

Kommt ein bisschen an die deutschen SB Bäcker ran, mit dem Unterschied das man bedient wird. Aber die Atmosphäre und Geschwindigkeit mit der der Einkauf hier abgewickelt wird ähnelt der Backfactory o.ä. in Deutschland. Die Sandwiche sind ganz gut und die Dounots auch. Mein Favourite ist der Devon Dounot, ein mit Sahne gefüllter Dounot. Sehr gut!

Have many of the usual range of greggs goodies but qre missing the corned beef pastie. No idea why they dont do the corned beef, but it is sorely missed.
the counter is usually well stocked with the rest of the range and fresh rolls are always appearing. As usual, as in all greggs they have not figured out how to offer hot food thoughout the day, but if you are used to this, it is a decent greggs.
Staff are efficient and always seem to serve promptly in this busy store
