Breakfast · Edinburgh
Tucked into a good spot in the city, this is a bustling little breakfast-and-brunch place where the tables sit close together — worth knowing if you're arriving with a pram, because it can feel cramped at busy times. The trade-off is warmth: the staff are genuinely kind with children, several speak more than one language, and they'll happily tweak an order or heat up a pastry. Food arrives quickly, which matters when someone's hungry and losing patience. The smoked salmon and cream cheese bagel comes warm and soft and gets raved about, and the ham and cheese croissants and scones are worth ordering too. There's free lemon water, plenty of vegan and allergen-free choices, high chairs, a kids' menu and a few outdoor tables. One small snag: a service charge is added automatically and isn't flagged on the menu.

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.
