Philosophy

The Genius
We have an equation.
(q+r)*p^h=y
q: top quality ingredients;
r: imaginative recipes
p: our passion for flavours
h: every soup handmade, tasted and tweaked before it leaves the kitchen.
y = your lovely lunch.

We believe that soup is an amazing food. To us it's love in a bowl. It comforts, nourishes and sustains. Here at Union of Genius we put the same attention to quality, freshness, flavour and detail into every single serving of soup.

Our aim is to:
  • bring together the best local food ingredients and products
  • cook them to well-thought-out recipes
  • match them with fresh-baked artisan breads
That way we can offer you a truly great lunch.

The Union


  • Breads delivered fresh every day by Edinburgh's artisan bakery Dough Re Mi
  • Coffee roasted and delivered weekly from Artisan Roast
  • Teas from Brewhaha
  • Artisan hot chocolates from Coco and The Chocolate Tree
  • Vegan and gluten-free cakes from Love Pure Cakes
  • Compostable takeout packaging supplied by Vegware, made from plant materials - cups, boxes, bowls, lids, and cutlery
  • You.


Full Circle
We compost all our kitchen food waste, and offer loyalty points for customers who return our used takeout packaging to us for composting along with our food waste. We call this 'Full Circle', and it's a vital part of what we do. If you'd like to bring your own cups instead of takeout packaging for hot drinks, please do - there are loyalty points for this, too. We also sell KeepCups, reusable coffee-shop-sized hot drinks cups.

It's all of your favourite things - fresh, delicious food with creative flavour combinations, using locally-sourced ingredients, brought to you in an environmentally low-impact way.

We think it's a Union of Genius.
