themannahouse easily is the best bakery for fresh bread in all of edinburgh. they have a great selection of regular crusty bread, onion bread, wheaty bread, and even dark chocolate bread! i love stopping here to buy good bread to go with my home-cooked dinners. they also have nice-looking cakes, salads and sandwiches, but their seating is extremely limited.
although their easter road location isn't terribly convenient for me, many restaurants in edinburgh like hemma buy bread from them, and other places like cranacan and crowdie on cannongate buy in their loaves and sell them so locals can source theirmannahouse bread there.
