Absolutely my fave coffee shop in Edinburgh! Has been my regular for a good while now. My go to is their batch brew - they rotate the flavours/beans pretty often so it’s always a treat to see what they have on the day! I’ve tried their oat latte too ( pictured) and as expected, a great cup of coffee. Always friendly staff, a lovely spot to read and catch up ( or sometimes in my case get started on a uni essay). Highly recommend 💙🤍

Тихое, спокойное место, очень вкусный кофе. Чисто, есть питьевая вода бесплатная, что очень удобно, можно самим наливать сколько захочешь.
