Face Plant Foods is a compact vegan cafe on Duke Street in Leith. The kitchen creates plant based comfort food with a playful approach, specialising in grilled sandwiches and making its own cheese and meat alternatives rather than relying entirely on ready made substitutes.
The grilled sandwich range includes a haggis melt, a Reuben, a Hawaiian style option and the Hot Bacon with jalapeños and hot sauce. A mac and cheese sandwich turns one of the cafe's signature dishes into an especially indulgent filling, served on thick bread grilled until crisp.
Beyond toasties, the menu includes a vegan Crunchwrap, Caesar salad and chickn Caesar wrap, along with rotating weekly specials. Mac and cheese can also be ordered as a side or larger dish, allowing guests to combine it with a sandwich or enjoy it on its own.
Walk-ins and takeaway are welcome, and the small room keeps the atmosphere informal and close to the kitchen. The entirely vegan menu makes choosing straightforward for plant based diners, while bold flavours and familiar formats give the food broad comfort food appeal.
