Truly, it's such a darling spot to tuck into if your feet need a break or you're in need of a coffee pick-me-up. The café smelled dreamy when I wandered in, and there was a small table open in the corner, so I decided to stop for a coffee and sweet treat. And it was divine! The staff were so friendly and even helped me narrow down my pastry choices. The only thing to note is that the café doesn't offer a customer restroom, which is a bit of a bummer. They did direct me to the nearby public library, though, so it's just something to keep in mind. But don't let that stop you from taking a café break here! There are even a couple of outdoor tables if Edinburgh weather cooperates. And if it doesn't, the inside is cozy and comfy too. A lovely little spot to rest, recharge, and indulge in something sweet while exploring Edinburgh.

It is the perfect spot for those on the go as seating is very limited. Inside, you'll find the place to be quite charming. Stone covered walls, warm lighting & the aroma of freshly made coffee makes this place feel like one out of a storybook. Both times I've gone, I was greeted by the friendly staff who did a wonderful job keeping everything in order as it was quite busy. I usually don't opt for hot coffee, but as it was a cold and rainy day, I opted for what I believe was a brown sugar honey latte. For munching, I had the strawberry croissant. The coffee itself was very small in size, but it had great flavor. It was subtle, with the perfect amount of sweetness. The croissant was flaky and the layers of the dough filled crust were incredibly delicious. is it the best coffee I've ever had? Certainly not, but the service and the charm of the cafe make it all well worth It. It truly is a must try spot when visiting Edinburgh. Stop in for a hot cup of coffee, take a stroll and get carried way in the streets of Edinburgh.

This is one of our favourite brunch spots in Edinburgh…read more Papii is located less than a 5 minute walk from Princes Street. It's fairly small inside so you'll need to head there early or be ready to wait (it's worth it!). They have a good menu (displayed artistically on the wall), with both breakfast and lunch items but you need to get the waffles! They are THE best! Price wise, you're talking £7/£8 pp which is really good value for money. Bacon & Maple Syrup OR Strawberries & Maple Syrup. Perfection.

It's a white door which takes you to stairs, and the cosy coffee house is on the first floor. I had a white chocolate which I would not rate very high. Not rich enough flavour, more sugary milk. I am quite picky being Belgian maybe, but still. However, my sandwich (grilled) was great! I had the hummus cream cheese chargrilled veggies panini, yummy! Came with greens and potato salad.

5 Stars for cocktails and late-night bites in a moody atmosphere!…read more We'd just arrived in town late at night and were thrilled that Lady Libertine was open and had space for us. As you enter, you'll go down a set of stairs into a dimly lit bar and restaurant that seems perfect for a sexy date and people watching. One table near us had a group of young women celebrating a birthday and the other had folks who were clearly regulars and knew all the staff. The also had a DJ playing, but not so loud that you couldn't whisper to your date. There was a special negroni menu, so my partner ordered from there and I got a martini (creature of habit). We also ordered a fish dish from the menu and some fries. Service was slow, but friendly (make sure to ask for silverware before the food comes, hehe!), and we weren't in a big hurry. I'd definitely return and highly recommend it for the cocktails and mood alone. Next time, I'd come hungrier to try the bigger dishes!

We clearly didn't plan things out well, as we had to scramble to hit stops 6 and 7 within an hour of closing, on our last full day in Edinburgh. But, in our defense, coffee shops close up super early in Edinburgh! We hustled our way from the Mile towards Cairngorm, side-stepping tourists and hurrying across intersections. On a normal day, it would've been a nice jaunt through town, but on this day, it was a hectic seemingly-longer-than-it-should-have-been-half-sprint to the front door. I did love the feel of this shop, from the steps leading down to the cozy interior and the bags of spent coffee bean lining the ceiling. The girl working that day was very nice and welcoming. We placed our order and settled into a small table near the back of the building. I kept an eye on the barista (hubby's back was to the counter) so that I could pop up to grab our drinks when they were ready, but she brought them to us, instead. She saw our Disloyal 7 cards out on the table, and said, "Be sure to bring that by before you leave so that I can stamp them!" The lattes were good, with a nice, rich and creamy flavor. I think I could've ended our night here, wrapped up in the warmth of a good latte and a comfortable chair, but my husband pointed out that we had time to get to the final stop on our list, if we hurried. So, we went up to the counter and had the barista stamp their slice, and then hurried once more into the cold Edinburgh dusk.
