I went to a café called Cake, but I did not order any cake. You might call me silly, but sometimes,…read moreall I need is a bottle of sparkling water whenever I'm thirsty. I'm not really a fan of the design of the place. It is high-ceilinged, wooden-floored and is very popular with parents, who bring their little toddlers in here to scream and play. There is even a designated kids corner which is a bit of a nuisance when toddlers are banging Lego bricks against the hard wooden floor and you are trying to enjoy your drink. The two waitresses were attentive and friendly but they were very young and seemed a bit inexperienced. With the huge queue that was forming, this was not ideal. The toilets needed a bit of attention as the paper towel bin was overflowing, leaving some spilling out onto the floor. I think I will stick to Steampunk in the future. I can rely on it's homemade lemonade, carrot cake and clean toilets.

The girl behind the counter was very nice and let us take our time choosing what we wanted. We could have easily bought the whole store but only grabbed three things.

Whilst in the bakery a member of staff started on me for no reason and falsely accused me of things. Whilst dealing with another member of staff the said individual started on me. After a couple of hours i went back to speak to the management. When i asked to speak to the manager the same member of staff was laughing at me saying she was going to phone the police. I have tried to correct this with no response. I can only recommend to people to AVOID THIS BAKERY. god only knows what might happen there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Real talk: I do not like cupcakes…read more I know, I know, I'm like the culinary scrooge of Edinburgh. I do not like them in a box. I do not like them with a fox. (Now i'm just meshing childhood villains together... you get my point). I do not like cupcakes. USUALLY. In fact, I don't think I would have wandered into Cuckoos, had it not been for the "distracted by shiny objects" side of my personality. I knew it had great reviews, but it wasn't really on my radar until I saw their display cake and the PRETTIEST cupcakes that ever there were. So I went in and against my better judgement - I bought a cupcake. Real talk revised: I do not like cupcakes UNLESS they're from Cuckoos. Holy heck Batman, that's a fine cupcake! I went with the Sticky Toffee one, because since moving here, I realize that anything Sticky Toffee is going to be damn good and damn good it was. The icing was a bit much for me - i've never been a big icing gal, but everything under that layer was pure joy. Pure. Cupcake. Joy. Not to mention, they are basically a instagrammers dream... if you remember to take a picture before inhaling the thing, the staff are the sweetest and they offer gluten free options, online ordering and the minor detail that won me over: the boxes have individual holes for each cupcake, so when you're balancing two boxes on your way to a 9am meeting, you don't end up with smushed cupcakes upon arrival. They obviously think this stuff through and it shows in everything they do. I'm holding that five star for a sit in experience but overall, this place changed my mind on what I previously thought was overdone trend baking. Definitely worth popping your head in the door.

Naked Bakery's deep purple flower walls and golden cutlery may be an instagrammer's dream, but the…read moreall-vegan cafe is good for more than just pretty pictures. The location, tucked away on a side street away from the hustle and bustle of Prince's Street, means that you won't be fighting with people for a table, as although it can get busy around lunch, you likely wouldn't find it unless you knew what you were looking for. The staff is extremely helpful and nice and helped make the whole experiance very pleasant. I will note that the prices are a bit high, although that's expected when all vegan ingredients are used. Their signature brunch item, pink-hued waffles, make for a lightly crispy meal with a delicate spongy interior, and comes with a generous helping of fruit on the side. The espresso is good, with a impressive custom coffee machine and a wide selection of milk alternatives - although the chai latte was a bit weak in spice and flavor and could've been more thoroughly mixed. Another interesting item they do is an all-vegan version of the Scottish Breakfast. As that is traditionally an almost all meat meal, this a quite impressive feat, although I've never been a huge fan of imitation meats. If you're looking for a healthful brunch/lunch meal, especially if you are vegan or vegetarian, I recommend Naked Bakery! They also produce a selection of cakes and pastries which customers were coming in for throughout our meal.
