Cute place but I’ve seen better regarding quality and service, I wanted a salmon toast at 1pm but no salmon anymore, so I asked for an avocado toast which came simply as a slice of bread and smashed avocado, nothing on the side or no effort on presentation but a lot of olive oil on the top.. and they have juste 1 salt and pepper set for all the place apparently ?
Tables not cleaned up, same for the floor and restrooms.

We loved this cafe/roastery. The atmosphere is lovely with lots of plants, seating and a gorgeous espresso bar. The beans they sell are incredible as well, we took two bags home with us.

We went here on our trip to Scotland, great coffee and nice community like feel inside. Food was very good too! Would definitely return next time we are in Edinburgh

Excellent coffee and a very nice atmosphere. Lots of space by the window for a 'breakfast with a view' experience. Breakfast options were quite nice too.

Best coffee I had all Vacation! Very tasty treats as well and the hot chocolate was immaculate. Great service!!

We visited the place for lunch and a cup of coffee. The vegan dishes are great and the staff is very friendly. Compared to other specialty coffees, they are organized quite well with orders at the bar but food being brought to your place.
The coffee we had was decent, but not really special. I would expect a more thorough selection and a greater variety in a specialty coffee shop. Also, maybe only during lunch time, it can get really loud and crowded inside.

Pretty café, good music and nice vibe from the staff. Their coffees are good, I liked my cappuccino and my partner enjoyed his hot chocolate. The food was alright; both the avocado toast and the grilled cheese was ordered, they do like to add a lot of spice to their dishes..so I recommend reading the ingredients carefully. If you are not into the spicy touch they put, I recommend asking to not add it (not sure if it’s a possibility). Practical if you are looking for a late breakfast place !

We visited Edinburgh and it was fairly close. The coffee is some of the best I’ve ever tasted, clean, fresh, fruity and my partner loved her cappuccino.

The cafe is beautiful and light, lots of space for sitting and enjoying time. The staff are friendly and I enjoyed an amazing cinnamon roll.
