After a night on the train (travelling from London to Edinburgh), pushing suitcases some of Edinburgh’s mighty slopes, we were somewhat disheveled when we arrived. When we were done putting away our luggage at the hotel, it was about 8am and we were hungry and in need of coffee. S did some googling, and found that this quaint little cafe which opens at 8.30am. We decided we could wait – and it was worth it. The shopfront was interesting – I also observed that most shops in Edinburgh had a metal gate to protect the glass windows – I’m guessing it’s to protect against burglars and drunks.

Ambience

The walls were painted with little trees, and it was all quaint and cosy. Like you had stepped into someone’s living room. It’s quite amazing how simple things like a polka-dotted table-cloth and a little flower on the table could change the atmosphere.

Food

The food was good – much-needed after a 7 hour train ride. We both ordered a big breakfast – you could choose specific items from the menu. We were very pleased after the meal and it was good value.
