About Guajira Café & Coffee

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.
