Walked into this lovely spot by accident on our last day in Edinburgh. Started with lovely service from the waitress who was bubbly and made us laugh quite a few times. We ordered the full Scottish and the British breakfast, and both were phenomenal. Good portions and the food was delicious- probably the best haggis we had tried in Edinburgh. So happy we ran into this cafe.

Wow. What amazing gluten free patisseries. A whole shelf full! They were incredible, and the staff so friendly and patient. There were so many savoury gluten free options too. We'll definitely be back. I want to try all those patisseries!

I nice tea place in Edinburgh. I am celiac and I had instead of lunch some delicous little cakes instead. The owner's wife is celiac so he knows what that means when baking these lovely treats. Also the rest of my family ate well. Thank you thank you thank you.

Very cute little tea shop. After visiting the castle we came here for afternoon tea and some sweets. The tea selection was good and the little chocolate cakes we got were amazing! Watching other people order the baguette sandwiches almost made me order a second lunch as well, they looked so good. This is a great local business to support while you are in town.

Coming here to have a quiet lecture during a 2 hours pause from some other activity. I had 2 teas and 1 little cake. Omg the cake guys was amazing, really well balanced. It was a mix fruit tarts with crème patisserie inside. To suggest to have some puddings here as they are amazing. I’ll probably be back.

Recommended by friend, I finally try this French cafe which serves savory and desserts.
I try their salami croissant. The texture of croissant is crispy outside and tastes alright.
But I think the highlight of this cafe is dessert menu which provides a variety of choices from berries, apple to chocolate.
My favorite is white gold with chocolate inside and the raspberry sauce. I think each layer is nicely made. It reminded me of the French cafe in shops or renowned hotels. It’s a proper cake/dessert in Edinburgh in my opinion.Also, It’s not too sweet to feel guilty.
The staff I met that day is very lovely, friendly and informative explaining the menus with warmly welcoming vibe.
Highly recommended to try their dessert if you are around grassmarket area.

The traditional-looking wee Scottish cafe is too crowded on a Sunday morning so we popped into the French corner. Merci for the nice breakfast.
The croissant is airy, flaky, and buttery and goes well with the Brie.
Full Scottish breakfast is lovely— especially the slightly fried haggis! Crunchy and flavorful. The multigrain toast is nice, and the bacon is crispy.
The bagel is giant. It tastes good but the texture is too fluffy and resembles more like white bread roll.
Latte and flat white are not special but still lovely with a balanced taste.
The tarts and baguette all look so gorgeous! The staff are super friendly too.

Cozy french café just off the Grassmarket. Very friendly staff and great service. I must admit, the pastries are fantastic. Can't forget the gluten-free options available.
