Lots of bacon in a toasted-to-order roll. Hits the spot. Raspberry Bunny: Almost too cute to eat, almost. Nice glaze against what tastes like luxurious brioche. The raspberry flavor isn't too strong though, just where the few red bits are. Mixed Berry Bun: Seemed like a hybrid between a cinnamon bun and a danish. Had a sweet cheese glob in the center in the middle of all the cinnamon rings. Some nice fruit in the mix. Much more exciting than a normal morning bun. Brownie: Very dense and very rich. Had a gooey center. Pretty intense for breakfast, but you can save some for later in the afternoon for a pick me up.

The iced latte is standard; okay. Their almond croissant was crazy sweet, the type that makes your stomach a bit sick.

On the day I was out and about in Costorphine, it seemed to be awash with great little businesses…read more This one was no exception - Caffe Citro, situated at the top of Station Road. It's run by a couple of ladies, both of whom had a very cheery disposition, and gave me a warm welcome. I bought myself a bottle of water and sat down to enjoy the relaxed ambience. The cafe had a very fresh feeling, with a few tables and chairs, some window seats, and a smattering of sofas. There was a wide range of hot and cold food, cakes, desserts and even Mackies ice cream on offer. Whilst I didn't sit outside in said outdoor seating (it was raining), I can see that it would be a pleasant place to have a seat outside. This place is a real find. Make sure to pay them a visit if you're in the area - you won't be disappointed!

Paninnis, baguettes, cakes, coffees, smoothies, pastries, this one ticks every box! As the title…read moresuggests, Caffe Citro specialises in fresh juices and smoothies and has an entire chill dedicated to these bottled ice teas, smoothies and lemonades. Caffe Citro provides outdoor seating, which was delightful on a day like today when the sun was blazing and, though parched, I wanted to remain outside! The coffee is good as well, but what I love about this place is that it sells Mackie's ice cream! Next to Ben and Jerry's, definitely my favourite! I find that the staff are always friendly in here and the decor is bright and fun, so Caffe Citro is always on my list when looking for a fresh bite and drink around Corstorphine!

McTaggart's is a fantastic cafe, eatery and wine bar all in one. It is easily the nicest cafe in…read moretown (not that there is that much competition in Aberdour anyway) but it was highly recommended to us by locals and we also loved the place! They have coffees and teas of course but what definitely drew me in was the fantastic selection of homemade cakes. The carrot cake was absolutely fabulous! They also have a good menu of beers and wines as well as more substantial food. The beautifully decorated, modern interior is cosy and was brimming with people the entire time we were there on a Sunday afternoon. McTaggart's also has a handy location on High Street with a two minute walk to the train station, making it the perfect place to go after enjoying a day out to relax or warm up before a train out of town.

After getting a bite from the Stockbridge Market, I was getting quite thirsty. As we wandered…read morearound Stockbridge, we found this cute coffee shop. The space is cozy as we luckily found a couch to sit on. I ordered the Loose Leaf Tea (£2.50). It even came in a teapot and some milk, which was more than I was expecting. I also loved the Tiffany blue cups they have here --I'm a sucker for anything in my favorite colour. While we already ate, the food looked delicious as well as I peered over at those around us. Good spot to grab a drink or brunch in Stockbridge.

This place makes me want to move across town.. no joke…read more If you are serious about coffee, Mr Eion is an ABSOLUTE.MUST.VISIT. I popped in today and there were 8 different beans on offer, how does one even choose?? I chose the much tweeted about Tiger Stripe & the amusingly named Moustache Twirler - which I'm told makes one want to grow a moustache if one doesn't have one already!! (Not sure my mo' growing abilities are up to scratch for this task!) Note that this is NOT a cafe.. there are no tables, no seats and they don't sell cups of coffee... they do however stock coffee cups, v60, aeropress, filters, ceramic hand grinders and hopefully soon, some tampers... In the place of seats and tables, you will find hessian bags of raw coffee, waiting to be roasted on site in the fabulous looking red Diedrich roaster. With an ethos of having a few staple beans & then a selection of 'when it's gone it's gone' beans, it will no doubt warrant many return visits to see what's on offer!

I can't take the credit for this find - its all down to my friend, Elaine, but I will recommend it…read moreto everyone and anyone I speak to :) I've been here twice now, both times as a treat and it was spectacular. I had worried that I'd built it up in my head and my visit was actually going to be a disappointment. I was wrong! The tea room itself is very small, only 5 or so tables are in it, but it doesnt have a cramped feeling about it at all. Elaine knows the owner from being a regular visitor, but I was instantly welcomed and made to feel at home (she even remebered me from the last visit we had). We ordered then used the time to feed Evie (Elaine's 9 month old daughter) and catch up. All sandwiches are made fresh and there wasn't really a big wait for our afternoon tea to arrive. The cake stand was filled - it was a wonderful sight! Sandwiches, scones, macarons, miniature cupcakes, a chocolate teapot, handmade edible cups and swans. We'd ordered tea, and every teapot comes with its own hand knitted tea cosy on it - ours this time was bee themed. Lynn (the owner) had went out of her way to make our stand 'special' for us as she knew we'd had one previously. We got a top up of tea half way though which was no bother at all. Cake is also included with the tea. There's a selection on home made cakes displayed near the till. We were so full from all the goodies that we got them to take away. I choose the red velvet cheesecake and took it back to Glasgow to share with the hubby - his response was that it was 'decent'. High praise from him :) All in, we spent 90ish mins at Bon and felt right at home, there was no rushing us out the door. Lynn popped passed every so often to chat and see if we needed anything else. I would give this place 6 stars if I could - I love it to bits. I always say to people we need to go to Edinburgh just for this place, I really need to start doing it. It's fabulous.

Tasty Scottish ice cream!…read more This is the best ice cream shop! They offer 40 flavors, and the shopkeep is super nice and friendly. I asked him for the Scottish ice cream experience as today was my last day in Scotland. He told me about flavors that he had from different regions of Scotland, and the ice creams that have won prizes in Scotland. I went with his recommendation of lemon honey and it did not disappoint! I also ordered vanilla. It was a perfect combo. The ice cream tastes so good! I wish I had this shop close to my house! This place is awesome because it is owned and operated by Scottish locals. The shop also offers smaller Scottish treats. We purchased Scottish butter cookies to take home with us. This was the best ice cream shop. The ice cream was so fresh! They also offer dairy free choices. Don't be afraid to ask questions and recommendations based on your palate. Stop by here if you're craving some Scottish ice cream.
