    Gelato and chinotto- feels like italy!!
    Suzy G.

    I have been waiting so long for real Gelato in Edinburgh, now thanks to Affogato I can cancel my holiday to Italy!! To be true Gelato it must be natural (both flavour and colouring), made on site and have that soft melting texture. There are some places that claim to make gelato but if you've been to Italy then you'll know that the real McCoy only exists here at Affogato - anything else is just ice cream. The flavors are inventive and seasonal and often offer options that are gluten free and vegan (the fruit sorbets). The fruit flavours always look so inviting and I love the thought that they are a bit healthier but I always go the full fat, full cream route, unless they have chocolate sorbet - that is phenomenal!! The salted caramel is my all time favourite and the coffee has over 20 shots of espresso!! The price is also amazing! In fact - for the service, quality and quantity that Affogato delivers they really should charge more. . Did I mention that they are super nice and dog friendly too! BONUS!!!

    Spinning wheel of gelato!

    Thanks to yelpers high rating for this dessert place, my friend and I were craving ice cream so we landed at afogato for gelato. They have doggie treats near the cashier so dog owners, you can bring your pets and they get a sweet treat too! We tried as many flavors as we could because they were so unique and different, you had to try before you buy. I ended up getting their popular flavor, salty caramel. The other scoop was white chocolate passion fruit, fruity with a neutral taste from the chocolate. I can't quite explain it but the flavor itself was explosive. After we ordered our smalls, we realized we should have gotten the sit in sundae instead. That seems like a tastier and better deal. Anyways friendly staff who was able to explain or at least get an answer for us on what the flavors were. The only thing I wish they had was explanations of the flavors since we kept on asking or mispronouncing the gelato names.

    Gelato on a sunny weekend

    After enjoying some sunshine at the Water of Leith we decided to stop by for an ice cream at Affogato last Saturday. I have been hearing good things about this place and, being the sweet tooth that I am, was keen to check it out. When you arrive you are faced with the tough decision of which flavour to choose from their gelato wheel of fortune. They had an excellent choice of flavours with seasonal treats, such as, 'hot cross bun', 'rabbit food' and 'easter egg' on offer. In the end I opted for the apple and elderflower sorbet and a white chocolate and raspberry flavour. The sorbet was lovely, bursting with fresh appley flavour (a bit like a lovely cloudy apple juice.) The white choc was less good, and tasted a bit funny- we both thought this but perhaps it just wasn't for us. The ice cream came on tasty waffle cones and it was nice that you could pick and choose your flavours and mix them up. Overall I was glad to have stopped by, for me it's not quite Mary'sMilkBar-good but I would definitely like to try out some of their other flavours.

    This place was so good we came here every night while we were staying in Edinburgh. They have amazing gelato! Lots of fun flavors and they change everyday. Highly recommend this place for dessert!

    We looked them up online, checked the hours, and raced over, only to find that they had closed early that day. Disappointing.

    Best place to cool off in summer. The gelato is the best in Edinburgh by far. Flavours are cool, quite a good selection.

    This coffee shop was a delight. It was conveniently located near the flat I was staying at…read more The woman who was attending was very kind and attentive. The macchiato was made properly and the beans were of good quality. They do have seating in the back but I didn't check it out. The store front is very well put together. They also have a good selection of baked goods. The lemon blueberry cake was very nice. Definitely a repeatable experience if you like good coffee.

    I want to sit and smoke a pipe in here while solving great mysteries (which, if you can't deduce,…read moreis a complete and utter compliment). Strumpets is the newest addition to an already packed West End roster of coffee shops - so much so, that it sits directly next to another cafe. I'm not sure how that will bode for their future, but it gave me a giggle nonetheless. I've been off the ol' coffee lately, so when we popped our heads in here, I opted for orange juice. Pricy for the bottle, but unlike my recent grumble about cafes charging £3+ for standard tropicana, the fare offered here is on the higher end of the juice scale and seems a little more justified in its crazy price tag. Regardless, I would happily throw down £3 again to sit in their ridiculously adorable back room! With ornate chairs, a pretty little window seat and well picked antiques - it's like stepping into a lady Sherlock's study. I'm a BIG fan. It's TINY - three spaces to sit, all of them no more than two chairs - but on a quiet day, it would be a great place to work from... it positively screams world domination! However, if it's a bit cramped, they do have one slightly larger table out front. The owner is super cheerful and the baked goods look interesting. They do crumpets on Sundays, which is a nice touch and duly noted, as it's an easy stop on the way home for me. I'm nervous for this place, because I'm not sure it has the oomph to keep up with some of the big gun cafes now residing in the West End, but I hope i'm wrong - because this little spot wins on charm alone.
