Honestly, this is the nicest cafe on the Royal Mile. The staff are always so helpful and friendly. And maybe this is just me, but bring in the storytelling centre just always feels so wholesome and welcoming.

Delicious tasting coffee and on too of that one of the most beautiful presentations of coffee I have seen in a very long time. This place is a hidden Jem. And well worth a visit

Amazing Haggis (with whisky sauce of course) for a reasonable price (£8.50, sauce - £1.20). Our tour guide told us about this place and we will definitely be back

Went for a light lunch with my friend and we love the food! And smoothie! One of the best I have ever had (apart of those I make at home). Good food for a good price with a nice ambience and staff. Will definitely be back and will recommend to friends!!!.
