    Oh wow, what a breakfast, £6.50 for a VERY full plate of food, and tea/coffee. Wicked little venue too. Will come back to Edinburgh, just to visit this place again. Open 'till 1am too!

    The milkshakes are off the menu during the Fringe festival. Disappointing.

    Base is annoyingly high for the music they are playing. Breakfast seems mediocre at best. Free wifi is nice. Staff is nice. Might be overwhelmed from the Fringe Festival though.

    Огромные завтраки с весьма вкусной фасолью и много всего остального. С утра из колонки играет приятный рокстеди
