Café · Edinburgh
Tucked into a small Edinburgh corner with pretty decorated windows to watch the street through, this is a calm, soothing spot rather than a bustling one — good if your child settles better without clatter, though the size means it's worth going off-peak with a buggy. High chairs and a kids' menu are there, and buggy access is fine. Nearly everything is made in-house: the sourdough sandwiches come out enormous, the Dominican rice bowl and breakfast get real devotion, and the avocado toast is filling enough to count as lunch. Vegetarians and vegans do genuinely well here — the vegan quiche gets singled out again and again. Coffee is a proper draw; plenty of people order a second. The team are warm and quick with recommendations. Soup can be hit-and-miss, so lean towards the sandwiches.
A little something creative for your next meal out. Filled with colouring, simple drawing prompts for cute animals, origami and conversation starters designed to bring more play, laughter and connection to the table. 3 free printable packs for toddlers, preschoolers and primary-aged children.
Far more than a chip shop — pizzas, haggis bon bons and generous portions, with high chairs, a kids' menu and late opening.
Light, airy Edinburgh café with a secret back garden, generous breakfasts, veggie and vegan options, and a chocolate cake families rave about.
A well-rated Edinburgh café with a relaxed feel — an easy place to settle in with the family over coffee.
