    Since it's our third time in Edinburgh, we decided to explore a few other neighborhoods further…read moreout. We hit up Morningside one grey morning and came here for brunch. The cafe was an adorable old house turned into a cafe and we got a seat near the back looking over the garden in the back of the space. It was really nice. My wife got the seasonal eggs Benedict and I got the peas a la salt. The Bennedict was good, but seemed like it was missing something. My best guess is that it's just the English muffin wasn't as sturdy as I'm used to and I'm used to it that way. The peas a la salt came over sourdough bread with bacon, black pudding and a poached egg. Same as the Bennedict, it was all yummy, but not amazing. The peas were very far from mushy (which is good), but maybe could have been a bit firmer. Things just didn't quite come together the way I would have hoped.

    We ordered two variations of the BBB, the Turkish egg meal, and the Parmesan and truffle hash brown…read morebasket. They were all delicious and hearty meals and if you are looking for a more savory meal I highly recommend. The servers were extremely sweet and provided food recommendations and answered our questions about transport and places to visit to make the most of our trip! The service was also quick and we were able to be seated immediately which was wonderful. Next time I'm in Edinburgh I hope to visit this place again!

    Came to the sandwich shop for lunch, and got a sandwich with a history lesson on the side!…read moreApparently Edinburgh used to called Auld Reekie because of the smell from the breweries in the area. While the city might have "Reeked", this sandwich certainly smelled good. Auld Reekie sandwich piled high with pulled pork, tomato, I believe onions and an aged cheese. Broccoli slaw on the side. I also had a chance to try the Ibn Bru soda. Reminded me of my favorite soda: Colombiana. Good lunch here served by friendly staff. It's always great supporting local business when traveling!

    I hadn't eaten all day. It was 3:30pm. A very unusual situation for me. Every other eatery along my…read moreNorth-Westbound walk was closed. I walked into The Sandwich Shop. The Sandwich Shop is like most Scottish establishments of the same nature- tiny eating area and carb-heavy food. But one way it differs is selection- although primarily offering 'breakfast rolls' (served all day) and sandwiches, the possible filling combinations are many. Relatively rare items- such as jalapenos- abound. Another way it differs is value. For just over 5£ I got this: a sausage link breakfast roll; a small soup of the day (tomato and chorizo sausage); a salami sandwich with lettuce and jalapenos, in combo form alongside a bag of salt & vinegar Walkers crisps, and a bottle (yes, bottle- not a can) of sugar-free Irn Bru. All that for JUST OVER 5£. My meal filled me up and that is rare. But here's the kicker, Yelp- the woman who made my sandwich- she literally covered it in jalapenos. This was not a typical, single salad-tong-full of four or five slices spread over the length of the sandwich. She carefully placed the jalapenos in a spicy blanket over the entire surface area. Perfection. For a tiny, cheap sandwich shop- THE Sandwich Shop lives up to its name.

    Wow this place takes me back. I can't believe it's still here! Elephants and Bagels got me through…read more4 years of intense university deadlines and group projects. In that time I probably ate 100+ bagels here and drank 500 cups of coffee. I'll be honest and just say the coffee isn't amazing but the bagels here are next level. There's nowhere better to get a bagel in all of the UK in my humble opinion. Lots of variety and lots of toppings to choose from too. Gets very busy at lunch time because of the student crowd. Expect to wait and then not be able to find a seat. Quietens down later in the day.

    The clue for this place is in the name... The theme for the décor is all things elephant-related…read moreand bagels are what's on the menu. What's good about this place is the sheer variety, not only of fillings to choose from but also the type of bagel itself. However, with almost 10 types of bagel to choose from, from seeded to sundried tomato to cinnamon and raisin, and the endless amount of fillings ranging from maple syrup to salami to peanut butter, the wait in the queue is often a long one. What's more, the prices aren't as cheap as you'd think. The average bagel with three fillings can cost up to £6, which in my opinion is a little excessive for a midweek grab-and-go lunch. In addition, there are only 5 tables which usually means a takeaway is your only option, which again makes the price a little less appealing especially given how many other cafés there are within 2 minutes walking distance. In theory, it's a great concept but in reality I would say it's one of those places that has been around for years and has become a bit complacent as a result. I wouldn't say avoid it, but nor would it be my first choice.
