“ Had an absolutely elite veggie breakfast here, all of my family loved theirs. It was really beautifully presented, not greasy, and had a great variety. Veggie sausages, hash brown, beans, tomatoes, mushrooms, avocado and spinach. The coffee was exceptional too, which just made the whole experience perfect. I would love to come here again! ”
“ Lovely little cafe, not far from west end tram stop. An extensive menu with great prices, even better portion sizes, and lovely staff! We had the croque vegetables & goats cheese and breakfast burrito with bacon and avocado and would recommend both. The banana smash smoothie was also SO GOOD! Plus, there is a great selection of sweet treats to sample. ”
“ I strongly belive that the breakfast to this cozy place is one of the most tasteful breakfast we had during our five days stay at Edinburgh. Without being disrespectfull to other places serving breakfast or brunches, the chefs and the service guys were amazing polite, quick with true interest to the client. Dishes were tasteful, with quility and exceeding quantity. Prices to average level. Seems like the culture of the owner and the personnel have elevated the taste of the dishes to different levels. Place is highly recommend. ”

“ I'm currently having breakfast here, and it's a lovely little gem of a find. I had the 3 egg omelette, which was huge and delicious. My sister had eggs, which were perfectly cooked. The staff are really friendly and the cafe itself is cute and chilled, it doesn't feel like you're rushed. There's a huge selection of foods and the sweet treats look great as well. ”
“ Me and my boyfriend found this place while we were on our holiday and wandering around in Edinburgh to find somewhere to have decent breakfast. This place was so lovely and we enjoyed our breakfast and the homemade cakes were gorgeous. We even had a smoothie and shake. Chai feast smoothie was nice and not too heavy, even with the cream on top which is good. The staff there were very friendly as well. Thank you for your excellent service, much appreciated! ”
