Strolled over to the cafe after spending a rainy day at the National Gallery. Enjoyed tea and scones, and really liked the vibe in the place. Stayed and chatted with owner and staff for a while afterward and enjoyed an espresso with them -- good coffee. Would definitely recommend.

Charmant café en retrait de la royal mile, donc prix plus abordables et ambiance plus cozy, idéal pour une boisson en descendant du château

Ein kleines etwas verstecktes Café mit wundervollem Ambiente und fabelhaftem Essen. Perfekt für zwischendurch😊
