Cosy season

Your table by the warm lights

Exposed brick, pine ceilings and wagon-wheel lamps — the perfect place to wait out an Edinburgh shower.

Inside the cafe

Pine ceilings, old brick & warm light

Behind our timber-framed shopfront is a small, cosy room with a rustic, Western feel: exposed brick, a golden pine ceiling, wagon-wheel lamps, wooden shutters and tartan banquettes. It's relaxed and family-friendly — pull up a chair, escape the bustle of Princes Street and stay as long as you like.

Had the bacon & maple pancakes which were lovely — so light and fluffy. Also one of the best cappuccinos I've had in a while. The service throughout was fantastic.

Had a great breakfast here with friends. Decent cappuccino and good espresso. The pastries were good and their breakfast bowls were excellent.
