“ Very good place to have breakfast in Edinburgh. Good food at reasonable prices and the service is the cherry on top, they are so nice. It must be said that they also have plenty of space and are located in a street with very little noise, so it is even easier to enjoy your time there. You must try their chai latte, it is amazing! ”
“ Good ambiance and friendly staff. Coffee art is beautiful and so is the coffee. Food is great. Sets you up well for a morning. ”
“ We had the pancakes & porridge for breakfast, delicious! Croissant was light and fresh. Good coffee. Cute cafe! ”
“ We spent a couple of weeks in Edinburgh, and we kept coming back to this spot, time and time again, for breakfast. It's THAT wonderful! Not only is it charming with warm, welcoming customer service, but we had some of the best food AND coffee we experienced in the entire city here! We're coming back again soon, and I SO hope they're still offering that AMAZING (& gluten-free ) chickpea pancake with the seasonal veggies and salad. I think about that dish almost every day since we got back to the US. What I wouldn’t give... If you're in the area, this spot is definitely worth a stop!! ”
“ Lovely cafe with enough space and seats for everyone. The staff is very friendly and you can see they love to make coffee and cakes for you. The interiour is really special and I really loved it. The seats the lights the sofa all has a special touch and you will feel so comfortable when you enter this cafe. The cappuccino was delicious too and I need to mention that the portion is really big compared to other cafes. The almond cake was awesome too and I would eat it again and again. The location is near the haymarket and what I also love is that you can spend alot time here watching from the window. All in all I can recommend this place to everyone and I would definitely come again. Everything is perfect the price the taste the staff and the furniture. I will definitely come again. See you soon ”

“ Good coffee and breakfast and friendly yet unintrusive staff. Good location for a meet near Haymarket train station. I've been twice already. ”
“ Had poached eggs with hollandaise and smoked salmon. It seemed like a small portion but it was the perfect size for Me to not feel too full or still hungry. Cappuccino was great! Had a great balance of coffee and oat milk. Would totally recommend :) ”
