Very friendly and fast service. Good coffee. Nice atmosphere. Croissant was warmed up and served nicely. (Unfortunately it was cheap supermarket product so even warming it up couldn't cover it's not nice taste and texture)

One of the busiest cafes I've been in, but I can tell why, as the vibe is super chill and eclectic. I ordered a skinny biscoff latte, but no skimmed milk, unfortunately. I had to go back after ordering and get a chai instead as I couldn't really taste the biscoff. The staff were super nice about it and made me a new drink right away. Prices are very reasonable for the size of cup you get. Overall, I would come back.

Hands down one of the best cafes in Edinburgh. The pumpkin spice latte was just perfect and the chicken ciabatta was also nice and filling. The coffee here is what will get me through fourth year chaos🤩

This has got to be my favorite cafe in Edinburgh! I came back thrice during my trip there - love their cakes, especially the vegan range! I'll be visiting soon :)

Had coffee and a light snack. Super friendly and fast service. Will definitely be back again. Place was filled with people but not too busy. It had a good vibe. Seem to attract a lot of locals which is always a good sign.

Tasty coffee and healthy hot soup! Harry Potter wasn't written here as the wooden board on this coffee shop's table (see photo1). The actual place was the Spoon, a cafe, where is now replaced by the Chinese restaurant (see photo 2)! There is a monument about J.K. Rowling, it's different from original version tho(see photo 3 and 4).

Love the old, rustic atmosphere of this place. I could sit sipping coffee in of the window seats watching people outside the whole day. They have great options for both hot and cold drinks, and the bakery products are delicious too.
