Cozy little coffee shop

It's a very sweet coffee shop. The food was delicious and they also had vegan statements displaced.

The toilet was also very nice and clean. 5/5

Great vegan cafe

Been here a few times, always good. Most recently for breakfast. I liked the porridge with peanut butter & maple syrup (I declined the bananas, as not keen on them!) Good coffee too.

Lovely location

First morning touring Edinburgh and stopped here first for breakfast. Had the traditional breakfast and my husband had the French toast. Both were delicious. Pot of tea and latte also delicious. Really lovely atmosphere, cozy and inviting and lots of natural light, and pretty quiet. Lovely experience. Definitely worth a stop!

Pros: Inviting atmosphere , Delicious food

Cons: A bit pricey vs portions

Great bakery treats and atmosphere

Really cute interior, great service and delicious food!
The coffee is fantastic, and the bakery is great too. The homemade flapjack is divine! We also tried the croissant and the red velvet cupcake which were good-not-great.
You’re sure to find something special at this shop!

Pros: Variety, Taste, Ambience

Lovely Cafe with excellent breakfast options for the savory tooth

Went there twice during our stay in Edinburgh. Had a full breakfast the first time and the French Toast with Bacon and Banana the second time. My partner had the sourdough with scrambled tofu.
All of those have been delicious and provided lots of energy for a full day of discovery in Edinburg. The staff was friendly and helpful especially since we where a bit overwhelmed with the options.

Pros: Lots of choices , Pastries

A M A Z I N G !

Had 2 warm and big sandwiches and 2 cakes. coffee and the
Sandwiches were amazing! One had “chicken” and the other one “pastrami”, both soooo good. It’s our last day here and I wish we discovered this earlier. Will definitely come back next time to try the other ones. The cake was really good as well, forgot to take a picture at first because it looked so good. The workers were also super kind and I don’t think it was expensive either for that portion.
