Lovely café, excellent attention and delicious food. I had the best breakfasts during my Edinburgh trip here. I wish I could have brought this café with me back home! The food has really got that homemade feeling. If you‘ve got the chance to visit you really should.

Una gemma nascosta trovata durante il nostro soggiorno a Edimburgo. Io e la mia ragazza siamo stati a colazione e a pranzo al The Swing Cafe trovando un’atmosfera incredibilmente accogliente. I volontari sono gentili e corretti, il cibo era davvero buono e l’ambiente estremamente solare. ❤️

A lovely neighborhood cafe run by incredibly kind and caring volunteers. I felt at home, and I saw people passionate about the place. All this topped off by the beautiful neighborhood, the cemetery atmosphere, and the sound of the stream. The food was delicious, not expensive at all, and everything was meticulously curated.
