Lovely, welcoming cafe with kind (volunteer) staff. It has a community centre vibe, but if that's OK for you, then enjoy the very reasonably priced food, and they are happy to take cash. I had a tasty lentil soup, which came with a couple of slices of rustic loaf - yummy! I also asked for a hot oat-milk drink that wasn't on the menu, and got it without fuss. It's now on my fav's list for when in Edinburgh.

The Saltyard is a Christian based café that opens every morning at 9AM. Breakfast and lunch are served. The cafe is staffed by volunteers . For breakfast, I had granola with fruit and yogurt. My lady had a bacon sandwich. Prices are very affordable. There are clean bathrooms. On our second visit for lunch > I had a delicious bowl of potato and leeks soup with brown bread. My lady had another bacon sandwich. Staff is super friendly.
