Leaf & Bean

Lovely neighborhood cafe with a friendly staff and inviting atmosphere. You get a complimentary tablet with a coffee :) worth visiting alone for that! They are welcoming towards laptops - no specific policy and plenty of plugs around. Good wifi 🎉 One small suggestion - the benches are not the most comfy, so perhaps a little padding could be welcoming ;)

I had a great time here with some lovely coffee and bacon pancakes. Tip: I can see an usual number of 1 star reviews and can confirm many of them seem wrong (the toilet door is not see through!) and prepositions (I don't believe they fly kicked a granny across the room!) My four star review is honest and based on one visit. The cafe is warm and spacious. There's plenty of room between tables and some have power nearby for laptops. The coffee is fairly priced and food similar. I paid £7.50 for bacon and maple syrup pancakes (X2) which were tasty but not boutique speciality. The coffee came with a delicious cube of fudge and was high quality. I can see Leaf and Bean is a local favourite, as it's midmorning and plenty of people are here. It's dog friendly too. Staff are great, quick, friendly and don't seem stressed. The toilet is clean and easy access. I was given all the time I needed to enjoy my food and drink. I'm not in Morningside often but not only would I come back here again, I think it's a good oasis of calm, space and amenities
