Lannan Bakery, Stockbridge

Says it is good but no better than many Edinburgh options; doesn't see the hype.

Finds the pastries deserve their reputation; weekday 8am visits meant queues under five minutes.

Thinks better bakeries exist and that social media hype is drawing the crowds.

Lives nearby and says queues are constant, but suggests an early visit on dreary days; worth it for French-style pastries.

Finds it delicious, but the queue is off-putting and they'd never wait that long.

Loves the products but finds the queues too long; would go elsewhere if waiting over ten minutes.

Most pastries are decent, but one custard tart tasted raw; says the long queue comes from slow serving.

Calls it a fantastic bakery with great pastries and says the hate it gets is unjustified.

Argues Lannan's prices reflect intricate pastries that need skill, time and ingredients.

Doubts working locals can realistically go regularly, suggesting it's hard to fit in.

Suggests going around 10am: queue is about 15 minutes at most and plenty of stock remains.

Agrees it's one of the UK's best and says the criticism it draws is unfair.

Says skipping the queue is fine, but rates the pastries and loaves excellent and thinks doubters lack taste.

Says pastries are consistently high quality and worth the price given ingredients and labour.

Asks for shops other than Lannans, indicating a preference against that bakery.

Walked in just before lunch with no queue; says the bakery's food was very tasty.

Praises its pre-orders and queue efforts; says locals' hostility toward staff is worse than queueing.

Lists Lannan among other great bakeries, noting the queue can be long.

Says Lannan is a professional bakery with very well-made items and urges trying it.

Calls Lannans overrated and says other bakeries are just as good without long waits.

Doesn't see the hype behind Lannans.

Doesn't understand why people love it and sees little reason for the fuss.
