Danka KellerováJanuary 11, 2015The best coffee in Edinburgh! Tasty pastry and croissants. Can be pretty crammed during lunch though.
Willard WalkerNovember 15, 2014Made to look better than it is by Edinburgh's dearth of good coffee shops. However, still worth seeking out if you need to drink good coffee.
Brownies are fantastic , coffee is unbeatable and sit at the counter to do some great people watching during the fringe
Patrícia de CarvalhoAugust 1, 2016Great coffee, friendly staff, good options of food and cozy but authentic construction!
Jakob StecherMarch 17, 2013The Syphon coffee is just great. So smooth and elegant, yet still really tasty. Worth the money!
Great service & concept! Nice place to drink coffee and spend couple of hours
Александр ПриймакAugust 24, 2016Great espresso. Long black is actually lungo not americano. They know their coffee
Nadia MichalopoulouMay 16, 2015One of the best coffees in Edi! -Great atmosphere! Definitely recommend it!
The cherry bakewell is amazing. So is the chocolate cake. Combine with a chemex coffee.
Rick NeahringMay 25, 2019Seating area is quaint. I like how they say “sitting in or takeaway?” instead of “Here or to go?”
B. Aaron TalbotOctober 22, 2016good coffee, cool space, pretty sure my hot chocolate was powdered but it was still decent...
Delicious coldbrew coffee and slightly overpriced sandwiches. Come for the coffee you won't b a disappointed.
- The V60 makes an amazing long black and well worth a try.
ChrisNovember 3, 2015It was an apple users delight. Probably students retreat for coffee infused studying.
Rusty ShacklefordAugust 8, 2016Nice interior busy and lots of different people. The flat white was OK. Maybe it's the roast but it was a little too bitter for my tastes.
Quirky new little artisan coffee shop. Get in there quickly before it gets hounded out by students.
