#Snax #Cafe
We stopped at Snax as it was across the street from a bookstore and it had 4.4 ⭐️s on Google. We wanted to visit the bookstore without feeling famished the whole time.
Short story short: I do NOT recommend unless you:
– like crowded tables and chairs that are not cleaned (dirty napkin in the condiment basket, crumbs on the table)
– don’t mind a restroom where the toilet paper and paper towels are perched on the dirty windowsill
– don’t need a glass of ice for your water or soda
– don’t mind bland food – the cheddar cheese was the tastiest thing on my plate.
– no gluten-free bread/wrap options
Pros –
– cheap
– near a great bookstore, Till’s
– close to The Meadows
– sufficient for poor college students, one of which I used to be but no longer am
Yes that’s right, this is where you redeem breakfast vouchers of Princes Street Hostel (Sunday only).
The breakfast vouchers purchased for £4.20 will get a breakfast roll (priced at three pounds) and a hot drink (priced at two to three pounds).Be warned though, you can only take away. but that’s not a problem, considering its price. There were two sausages in my link sausage roll and the latte tasted great.
It’s easy for you to find it too, just go down the road (the side with the Japanese restaurant), turn the corner, and you’ll see it!
Small spot for a morning eat.
I had the full breakfast, that was quite nice. Some hits some misses.
The place itself is quite small and while I ate I got the impression that most people get their rolls or wraps to go.
Might try this next time.
Came across this at random today and thought I would give it a go considering the prices. A literal hole in the wall with some cheap deals. Good for breakfast or lunch if you are looking for something simple and easy.
The food was really disappointing, had a large breakfast and couldn’t finish half of what I was given. The bread was very dry, the sausages were mushy and overcooked. The black pudding and eggs were alright, but it wasn’t a great experience. Dining in also costs a pound more for mains, although the staff told us upfront, the menu outside did not say anything of the sort.
