A lovely quiet spot just off the Royal Mile. The booths were really comfortable, which made for a relaxing lunch.

I really appreciate that they roast their own beans. The selection is decent, and they&#39;ll grind them for you if you ask. It&#39;s a thoughtful detail that makes a difference for freshness at home.

Passion fruit tea was really nice. You can adjust the sugar and ice, which I liked. The place itself is spotless, bright and tidy - makes it easy to just sit and relax for a bit.

The lamb shank was cooked perfectly, fell right off the bone. Rich, deep gravy with a hint of rosemary. Honestly, that&#39;s all I came for. Portion was decent for the price.

The pistachio latte is a must-try here! It&#39;s such a unique flavour, and the little swirl of nutty cream on top was so pretty. Perfect for a cosy catch-up with a friend. The pancakes were fluffy too, but that latte is the star for me.

The small size is actually massive. I got the small and could barely finish it, which is a nice surprise for the price. Just a solid, filling option when you need something quick.

The staff were so friendly. Jack explained the vegan menu clearly, which was really helpful. Food was hot and fresh.

The salad bowls are a decent size and the ingredients taste fresh. I had the tofu salad - it was pretty good, flavourful without being heavy. A nice healthy option for lunch. The falafel one looked good too.

The Chinese menu is where it&#39;s at. Got the mapo tofu from there, and the numbing Szechuan peppercorn hit was spot on. Much more depth than the English menu version. The minced pork had a nice texture too.

Been coming here for years, and the haggis breakfast is the main reason. It&#39;s always cooked just right, not too dry. A solid choice when you want something reliable. Nice that they&#39;re dog-friendly too, makes it easy to pop in.

Staff are volunteers, so it&#39;s got a nice community vibe. They even made me an oat milk drink that wasn&#39;t on the menu.

The space is so bright and airy, with all the greenery. It just feels clean and fresh. Perfect spot for a quiet afternoon with a book.

Nice spot for a warm evening. The beer selection is solid, and the relaxed vibe with all the TVs is perfect for catching a game.

Menu&#39;s got a bit of everything - pizzas, kebabs, even gluten-free stuff. Went for a baked potato, it was decent. Good spot if you&#39;re with a fussy group.

Been coming here for years, and the cocktails are always spot on. A reliable spot for a good drink.

Menu clearly marks vegan options, which is a huge help. Their vegan Caesar salad is actually really good - not just a token offering. Tried it on a whim and was pleasantly surprised.
