I just recently got a job just along the road from this cafe. I come here for lunch sometimes and I've never been let down on the quality. The staff are extremely polite and happy to help and the food is amazing at a decent prices. If you get a chance to go get the apple pie!

Probably this place would need a refresh, or is the way it is that gives a touch of old and familiar cosy place. Staff is super friendly and welcoming. The only thing I didn't like it was the espresso. I like the taste of pure coffee. black, no sugar, no milk as a proper italian way. My wife cappuccino was good and so the cake. Very recommended if u don't take espresso.

Just popped in for a quick coffee Break .The place seems really nice and cosy, staff members are welcoming and friendly , Android pay and contactless payment is supported here which could be a big deal since most ppl now days don't carry cash including my self . Outdoor seating is available to those who like to have their coffee outside and enjoy the sunshine :) Overall , it's a lovely wee cafe with great selection of tea , coffee and home made fresh pastries. Would definitely come back

Fantastic cafe serving great breakfasts and lovely coffee. Also a great selection of home baked foods and some exceptionally good deli offerings. Often quite busy so best to pop in if passing when quiet but wonderful service - a must visit when in the area!

Delicious and adorable. Fab selection of made in house treats and savory soups and sandwiches. Cute friendly and affordable our raspberry scone and earl grey tea were delightful. And the staff are so friendly and nice. Wish we lived closer. Might have to pick up a snack for our flight out of Edinburgh.

I'm writing this review while sitting outside the cafe, still chewing on a delicious filled roll and sipping on some tasty raspberry lemonade. Homebakes, fresh rolls, bread, beautiful jams, fresh eggs, fresh food, wonderful! This was a lovely little hole in the wall with gorgeous products, delicious food, and wonderful staff. Definitely pop by for one of their sandwiches. You won't be disappointed!
