Half of The Brunch Club walks past this little hotspot off Leith Walk every day, such is its proximity to his flat. The motivation for making Sunday the day he stopped instead of walking past was that the other half had just spent 28 hours on a coach and could only muster the energy to make it to the end of the road. Word of Mouth is, moreover, one of the better reviewed small cafes in Edinburgh and the place was packed.

Breakdown: 👩🏼‍🍳Taste 4/5 - Headlined by the waffles, the smoked salmon and the coffee. Smoked salmon can often provoke scepticism but this was good quality and very tasty. The coffee was strong and dark, and the waffles were sweet and soft. We were both very happy. 👀Presentation 3/5 - Totally fine. Nothing remarkable, nothing unattractive. Definition of a 3/5 🌟Vibe 4/5 - Word of Mouth treads that line between madness and excitement. It is a very small space with lots of hungry customers, so at times it was a bit overwhelming. But the waiters were friendly and the service good. It picks up a late extra mark for a very in depth bit of cricket chat with a Bangladeshi waiter as we paid our bill. We’re both fans of Mahmudullah, neither of us like Dinesh Karthik.
