Storries Home Bakery

Cheap and cheerful. Service wasn’t the best as it was just a young lad who didn’t look overly thrilled to be there. The food was very old school and at a very good price. Love it how it’s open 24 hours. Overall probably not my favourite type of bakery but I am glad that I have been.

Hi i have been coming to this bakery since I was literally a small child. I havent been in a year had a craving so came along to get some pies. And unfortunately I share the same sentiments as the rest of your low reviews. The prices have been hiked £3 a pie £3+ if its hot so they have invented a warmth tax. The pies taste different not in a good way. And I was disappointed not to see a familiar face. Whoever has taken over this is a fail. You've turned a local legend into another overpriced low quality tourist bakery. Besides drunk people at the end of a night out i dont think this will last long and Im sure many locals have rejected the change. Tourists and students will only go so far. Really disappointing.

Pies are good but they are definitely not 24/7. They weren't bad in the past (closed once in a while) and I had become reliant on them for a snack when on the run. Don't go much any more as they've been closed for no clear reason 1 out of 3 times I've gone. Door half open. No explanation. No note of when they will open up. Asked ab employer standing at the door what was going on and dint give me any info. Bummer. This used to be a place I'd get pies 3-4 times a week.

Not a review that I want to do but it has to be done.. this was a favourite stop for me when working in Edinburgh and I had been coming for nearly 10 years. The new owners have ruined it! Food is nothing like it used to be and completely over priced now. Like other comments the opening times are inconsistent now… it’s a shame as it’s an institution this place… I hope something can be done to bring it back as very soon it’s just going to be a sad story of another place shutting its doors..

Went in to Storrie today, about 4pm. Asked for doner meat pie, 'hot or cold' woman asked, 'hot please' was my reply. OMG, how long had this thing been kept hot, not a few hour, DAYS by the look of it!! Straight in the bin! Never again will I be back to this bakery! Would of gave service more stars as woman was polite and cheery but knocked 2 stars off. She must of known how long that so called pie had been kept hot yet still sold it!

Whoever was working night shift on 31st October needs to learn the law & also be more aware of her customer service. I didn’t end up being served, I was firstly greeted with a demand to delete a tiny bit of footage I had of all her cakes from the outside window on the PUBLIC STREET. I explained to her i was on a public path when I recorded her cakes and can record whatever I want on a public street. (It was a quick clip of the pies then me & my sister were recording ourselves because we were starving and excited to have found a place that’s open at 4am) I explained nicely whatever I can see with my own eyes though on a public street I can record so she can’t say I’ve broke the law (like she was angrily saying I had done) She then wouldn’t serve me because I wouldn’t delete it. That was fine by me, because if she approached me with customer service and asked nicely then I would of deleted it but she was so angry & looked at me like I was a rodent who was in her Pie Shop at that point. This lady needs to learn the law & customer service. I can record her pies in the window on the public street and if she’s got a problem with that then find a new job because as I look on google reviews you can see other photos of people standing on the public street looking into the window and there’s shop workers in view because it’s a huge big fish tank window the pies are in. (Added the photo I’ve found just for reference that this pie shop or the lady picks & chooses who can take photos & who cannot. (Legally lol) Lady, learn firstly to talk nicely to your customers no matter the time of night. You were in the wrong & yes refuse my service all you want that’s your rights. But it’s also my rights to record whatever I want on a public street that’s within my eye sight. My sister who bought 2 sausage rolls ended up throwing them away because they tasted horrible. I’ll never be back at this pie shop and I would advise anyone to not film on the public street (leith walk) when she’s serving. Or she won’t serve you & treat you like a rat that’s crawled into her 24/7 pie shop. Think she needs to learn how much she’s been watched 24/7 on cameras right up leith walk the whole time she’s serving. Her attitude is what caused me not to delete it. Treat your customers nicely lady. She could have asked me nicely and not like I was scum of the earth when I didn’t even open my mouth to be served & she looked at me with such disgust. Learn the law! And look at your own google review photos….going to ask them to take it down? No didn’t think so. Have a nice pie life.

Really sad to be leaving this review, but needs must. A shadow of its former self. New owners have all but destroyed this place in a very short time. 3 pies and a sausage roll nearly £12 Curry pie was half filled, undercooked and was very much a budget supermarket tinned curry. Scotch pies were as close to being a scotch pie as I am to having walked on mars. Absolutely terrible. Sausage roll appeared and tasted store bought. Also noticed Costco muffins in their cabinet. Embarrassing when a “home bakers” buys in wholesale cakes. Gave most of it to my dog, even he wasn’t interested. Take something one and kill it in a matter of months. Shameful.

I would normally give Storries 5 stars but today, Sat 24/05/25, the food was all wrong & different. I bought a Scotch Pie and the pie-crust was thick, inedible with a stingy filling. The Rolls were flat, as if they hadn't risen and were flavourless. The Apple Turnover wasn't baked enough, soggy and contained little cream. I'm wondering if they have been taken over, as the person serving me, needed somebody to show him the Scotch Pies. It appears to be Orientals in charge. Well, I wish them every success as I always support independent businesses, but I believe they have bought the name and judging by the food, they have lost the quality.

The pies from this place are amazing. I'm a pretty greedy eater so I had both a chicken curry and an apple pie from Storries the other day which were both delicious. The bakery is hidden deep in Leith Walk and doesn't look much from the outside, but within it feels nice and warm with an enticing aroma circulating about the place. Their front counter has great array of cakes, sponges, doughnuts and intricate confectionary. They also make their own large steak pies for big family meals which are apparantly made only of the finest quality beef. The pastry on the pies which I tasted was really nice and buttery, whilst the fillings were delicious. They only cost about £1 each and I will definitely be going back for more soon!

I love places which until you discover them you wiuld walk right past without a second glance. When you do discover them, you go in with a smirk on your face because you know what evrybody else is missing out on. Thats because the pies here are simply amazing - whether you order a small individual one which is the perfect lunch time snack, or one of thier larger family sized ones to use as a meal later on, you wont be dissapointed - the fillings are always beautiful and the pastry is lovely. They also do a range of sweet things, the usual that you would expect from a bakery, but again thier quality is very high.

I must admit...the pies in here are amazing. It's not often you'll hear me saying I love pies (haha) but they are amazing here. It doesn't look like much to a passer-by, but keep an eye out for this charming little bakery! The prices are reasonable for the quality you get, so it's definitely worth a look!

Can never choose between a steak, curry or Mac pie so I get all 3. And cheese scones. The cheese scones are something else. Must do in Edinburgh after a night out. Thankfully it's local to me. Love a storries.

The baker shop. A storries steak pie is a thing of legend whether traditional or round pie. their sausage rolls are legend but the piece de resistance these days is their curry pie. a pie case stuffed full of curry and topped with rice under the pie top. For some reason their scones seem a little salty but i go there for the pies.

Small and cheap bakery on Leith Walk - it always seems to be open at odd hrs so if you want your fresh rolls at 5am then this is the pace to come. I haven't tried the pies but have come here a lot for cakes - they are great, really good selection and tasty. Way better than the numerous Greggs that have sprung up around it.

Great wee place. Hidden gem. The steak pies I believe are known to be actual lifesavers! Definatley somewhere to know about. I'm lucky enough to work across the road but have been know to deviate from my way home after a night out x

Storries Pies, what can I say! I've not tried the curry pie but their apple pies are FAB try one today & I'm gonna go for the curry pie next time I'm in! They apparently do a mean bacon roll too!
