Elephants & Bagels

Julia Nakamura

This was the cafe I most visited during the 16 months I lived in Edinburgh. I absolutely adore the atmosphere, particularly the single desks by the windows. The bagels are delicious - I have three top ones: the "everything" bagel with butter, the spinach bagel with salmon and scrambled eggs, or the salmon deluxe in poppies seeds bagel. I would usually have them with a filter coffee and, eventually, when I felt like eating some sugar, I would eat a yogurt bar (super recommended!). Love this place!

Great place to go to if you're a tourist or a local for lunch or breakfast. There is a huge list of suggested bagel fillings or create your own style! The tomato and basil soup was delicious and we even went for a second bowl! The decor is what really gives this place a unique character and we spent a long time looking at all of the wonderful pictures on the walls. We were only visiting for a week but ended up coming here twice and wish we'd discovered it sooner.

Wide selections of bagels and fillings. Service is quick and the food is good. Would recommend.
