★★★★★“Realised after being here 50+ times that I haven't left a review so I reckon its time. (1) The coffee is outstanding. As is the hot chocolate. (2) The place feels very low-key and local. There are more and more what I would consider 'pretentious' coffee places in Edinburgh. This is not that, but the coffee is just as good. (3) They sort of have the whole coffee spectrum covered - Espresso drinks and pour over, sure. But also a vat of yummy batch brew, cold brew, and seasonal fun-drinks (these are all big deals as an American) (4) The folk that work there are very kind and skilled - It must be a good place to work because I have only seen the same four people working there the ENTIRE time I've been going.”
★★★★★“Absolutely my fave coffee shop in Edinburgh! Has been my regular for a good while now. My go to is their batch brew - they rotate the flavours/beans pretty often so it’s always a treat to see what they have on the day! I’ve tried their oat latte too ( pictured) and as expected, a great cup of coffee. Always friendly staff, a lovely spot to read and catch up ( or sometimes in my case get started on a uni essay). Highly recommend 💙🤍”
★★★★★“One of, if not THE best coffee shops in Edinburgh, beautifully smooth coffee every time, perfect temperature (never burning the milk), baristas are all lovely, fantastic people and the atmosphere is just great. Highly recommend their gorgeous coffee. 😊”
