This spot was a perfect place to get away from the busy city center and enjoy delicious scones. We tried the seasonal special (cherry almond scone), raisin scone, and a sausage roll. The classic raisin scone was our favorite! Everyone working here was so friendly and it felt like a neighborhood spot.

Found this gem by chance. Lovely service, delicious breakfast and such a cute location. Not knowing one of their ingredients on the daily menue (kimchi), they offered to separate it from the roll as a side dish, giving me the possibility to try something new. Such a wonderful gesture - and the kimchi was delicious.

I passed this shop on my first day in Edinburgh and I knew I had to circle back. The pastries in the window looked incredible. Firstly, the staff are SO kind and welcoming. I felt like I was being welcomed into their home. I ordered a plain scone with butter and jam. The scone wasn’t bad but it had more of a spongy texture that I didn’t love. My cappuccino was great. I do wish they had more seating inside. They could switch out their two round tables for a couple smaller tables to accommodate more parties.

This bakery was recommended by our tour guide and it did not disappoint. The breakfast rolls were light and fluffy, encasing our yummy eggs and other delicious fillings. The staff was friendly and quick to serve. Definitely recommend this place for a quick bite on the go, as seating is very limited!

I was around the VISA application center opposite to this Patisserie and it caught my attention because of the pretty blue painting. I got in and the staff were very sweet and friendly. I got a cheese scone - which I have to say is one of the best scones I’ve ever had!! It was so delicious I would’ve had one more. I also got a latte. Taylor was taking my latte order and when I asked for syrups he told me cherry is something new and recommended it. I’ve never thought of cherry in my latte as I like my coffee strong. Honestly, REALLY good latte. The cherry was not overpowering AT ALL - I promise. I live in Newcastle and love to visit Edinburgh once in a while. next time I’m in Edinburgh I know exactly where I’ll be getting my coffee and a little bite from
