One visitor said: "Had a breakfast reservation here and loved the whole experience! I got the ruby waffles, my mom got the Nutella banana pancakes. Waffles were amazing! Pancakes had a little too much Nutella on top for our liking.

"Coffee was the best I had in Edinburgh the whole 3 days. I wish I had time to return before leaving town!"

Another said: "Lovely little stop on the street! Had some breakfast and a little iced coffee, great views to people-watch.

"We had smoked salmon eggs Benedict, shakshouska and a side of haggis to try. Really cute vibes.

"Great music and a lovely iced latte. Would love to come back and sit at the table on the window and read away."
