A lovely little cafe, they squeezed me in even though it was busy. All the staff were incredibly attentive. I overheard one of them very clearly explaining the gluten free options to another table. The tuna and cheese ciabbatta was great, with high quality bread (tasted homemade?!). Only slight problem for me was too much dressing on the salad, I would’ve preferred less and maybe a tomato/slice of cucumber… Coffee excellent.

Really enjoyed breakfast here. Waited outside with others until it opened at 9.30. I would say it was full within 30 minutes. When we left there was a big queue to get in. We only had granola and porridge but both were delicious and hit the spot. Friendly service, would recommend

The food was amazing! We ordered several dishes and every single one was really tastefull. You do have to self order, but the staff brings it to your table. Also the cakes looked very good, but we were stuffed with no more room for cake.

A highlight in my short stay in Edinburgh. One of the best scones I ever had. The atmosphere is great with a lovely service and nice people. I of course recommend the Cream tea set but there are also many other great dishes.

Wonderful staff, delicious food! The potato leek soup was scrumptious, but the highlight was definitely the fresh out of the oven scone with Nutella added 😋

Nice place, food is great, recommend Scons. Interior lighting need to be improved, lights should all warm.

Great food, Amazing service!! Plus good location! I visited to this cafe twice during my trip in Edinburgh. At first all staffs were kind and friendly. I highly recommend the cream tea! Scones were so good 😍 And the cream wasn’t typical one I used to have in London, it looked homemade and fresh.

Delicious Scottish breakfast. Arrived about 20 minutes after they opened on a Sunday morning, and although the inside seating was busy, there was no one sitting outside. Food was delivered quickly.

Beautiful cafe tucked into An alley. Had sandwiches and a quiche. Sandwiches were good, but could have used more meat in them. One slice was not enough.

Very good place to get some eats. Traditional Scottish breakfast was good for my first time. As an American, I don't care for it on the whole, but I did enjoy everything on the plate. I likely won't order again on this trip just because it's not my thing. Very reasonably priced. The ham and cheese toastie was bland. Otherwise, I'd have given 5 overall stars. The Biscoff cheese cake was the absolute highlight. Perfect flavor and perfect consistency. Don't miss out on ordering one!
