August_21 Coffee House — Restaurant in City of Edinburgh

In Edinburgh, it is really rare to experience a community cafe where the staff and the regular folk are so warm and welcoming, I have not felt as welcomed and safe as I do within this cafe. It's not explicitly a queer cafe but then again it's not explicitly not. Its truly a hidden gem of a independent cafe with good vegan options. The decor is rustic and charming. When I am at my lowest I end up here and leave feeling a little more able to live. I love them all so much I always round up to the nearest 10p The coffee is great and the baguette is filling. I really appreciate all the hard work the staff put in to the cafe. It's really helpful and they have an open mic night which is great. I really like the chance to explore art with them every Wednesday. Thank...

It was a lovely day outside and I chose August 21 for my study session today. There is wifi and plenty of plugs. Such a cozy atmosphere with the nicest staff. Great selection of sandwiches, cakes, scones and coffee. There are more spaces at the back and some books, board games and cards for people to enjoy. Very dog friendly as well with available dog treats. There are also some beautiful local art on the walls that I didn't put here because you should definitely see for yourselves. I recommend a visit whether you just need some coffee to take away, want to enjoy your book in peace or need a study space that will keep...

First off, a really friendly welcome, as if they were greeting old friends. 2nd, they turned a negative into a positive. My wife is type 1 diabetic, they didn't have any sugar free drinks for sale, but had no problems with her drinking her 'diet coke' she had bought at a shop. The coffee is really good. The cakes are so tasty, I had a piece of ginger & rhubarb - wonderful. This was our 1st visit to Edinburgh & on our 2nd visit, one of the 1st places we will visit, is this coffee shop. We were just so impressed with overall atmosphere of the staff & premises....
