I really donât know what it is about this place. I occasionally stop in for a breakfast of sorts and a coffee when I got the chance but thatâs me done here. Last trip I had I remember the food being cold and tasteless and that the Millionaire shortbread was Iâm guessing the most expensive on the planet⊠£4.50 for a small slice! Last time I took the scrambled eggs and toast back but had to go as time dictated⊠today I went for a breakfast roll and an oatmeal cappuccino which hit ÂŁ8.00+. I had a go at it but had to stop as despite seeing the offerings in what looked like a hot case the sausages were cold. The oatmilk cap was great.. but once again I took the food back where the staff did apologise and offered to make it again but alas time was beating me. I didnât even have time to wait for a refund.

Back to the table waited and waited and as I watched another staff member clear another table nearby, myself and wife thought best to leave to somewhere else where customer...
   Read moreA wonderful discovery on a mid-week morning, this coffee shop oozes style offering fair-priced yet exceptional coffee in a serene and relaxed ambience.
Wonderfully creative pastries are on display.
The place felt âEdinburghâ but had tones of those old cafes in the 20âs and 30âs. There is water available with slices of lemon, free WiFi from the neighbourhood hotel (that doesnât require a password) Nd space between tables to make you feel you have probably but still be part of the wonderful murmur that cafes offer.
They care about the environment: buy a free everlasting coffee cup and get your first cup free and any others 10% off. I had a flat white for ÂŁ2.70 to give you an idea.
Itâs the kind of place you want to go back to on purpose rather than...
