    This is the kind of place you love having up the street from you. Everything is made in house, quality ingredients and super friendly staff. They do a lot of takeout, but there are dine in seats and it's a very cozy environment.

    French Toast, latte and hot chocolate!

    This is an absolutely charming establishment from the outside to the inside! Many breakfast/brunch/lunch choices that are delicious. The staff is very kind and attentive. My husband and I both had the French toast and bacon and it was flavorful and crisp. Latte and hot chocolate are both high winners! We had a hard time deciding what delicious breakfast to have - which means we will be coming back tomorrow. 10/10 HIGHLY recommend!!

    We found this little restaurant on Yelp while visiting Edinburgh and we're very pleased with our choice to visit. The food was excellent the service was superb and friendly we loved the area it was in I had the full Scottish breakfast and everything on my plate was delectable my daughter had toast and beans and is now a fan. We look forward to going here again when we visit Scotland in the future

    Such a cute storefront!

    This was a lovely dine-in experience (back in December). The woman helping us was very kind and patient. The beans + toast was exactly what was needed on the chilly day. Cant remember what my friend ordered but she liked it too! If you are in the area and are looking for a homely meal, I recommend!

    Mmmm hot chocolate with lovely white and pink marshmallows!

    After going to the wrong end of William St (thanks Yelp's silly map), we finally found Laura's and it was worth the wait. A sweet little place with a few small table rounds and a longer bar against the wall, it was more than enough for a sit down. I ordered the full Scottish breakfast and husband ordered a ham croissant and hot chocolate. My full breakfast came out with all the trimmings overflowing the plate: fried egg, beans, pancake, hash brown, mushrooms, bacon, sausage, haggis, corned beef, black pudding, toast and coffee! Talk about FULL. :) Everything was great - even the black pudding, which I ate until I made the mistake of asking what was in it. :P Rookie tourist. Husband's hot chocolate was beautiful and brimming with whipped cream and white and pink marshmallows. Laura (I assumed that was her name?) was lovely and friendly. The prices were much more reasonable than any recommendations from our hotel and I'd definitely lead people here for a proper authentic meal!

    Laura's Kitchen was like a breath of fresh air. Delicious scones, croissants and bakery items all homemade. I had the egg, croissant and bacon dish which was so tasty! My husband had been here in December and brought my daughter and I back to enjoy!! Prices are great and food is delicious!!

    This is indeed a hidden gem. I was staying at a nearby budget hotel and didn't fancy their breakfast offering much, and am very glad I found Laura's Kitchen. Lovely coffee, a decent plateful of food and very friendly service. I'd certainly come back again.

    This wee café came to my attention through twitter (they followed me, I decided I needed to visit =…read moreso simple!). Even though I'm a south sider, I don't really visit this area very often so I don't know what it replaced but it's a lovely, cosy space - couches, tables, lots of space and very bright inside. I was warmly welcomed and shown the menu and told what was available today. I was there in the afternoon which meant they'd sold out of quite a bit of stuff - but that shows they're popular and making stuff fresh, which is great! I ended up ordering the full breakfast (£4.95) and asked for the black pudding and beans to be left off. It didn't take long (even though it was freshly cooked) and was a generous plate of food. I loved the roasted tomatoes, bacon and sausage which were all lovely. I don't really like scrambled egg but overall it was a tasty breakfast which was just the afternoon perk I needed. I stayed for a while doing some work and they kindly offered me their wifi code which was nice. The owners are really lovely folk who really want to make their customers comfortable and well looked after which I appreciated. As the name says, there is a huge range of cakes too but I didn't try any on this visit. I'll be back soon though as I want to try their soup!

The day's soups were spinach and lentil, and chorizo and tomato which was more of a stew. The spinach and lentil was delicious, rib sticking thick and tasty,tasty. My chicken salad sandwich on thick wholemeal contained proper roast chicken. The accompanying side salad had a balsamic dressing and included ribbons of carrot along with the usual ingredients. I usually view coleslaw in cafes with suspicion as they are often sour and vinegary and come straight out of a catering pack. This coleslaw was made on the premises tasting of fresh veg and creamy mayonnaise. Regulars popped in and out, on first name terms with the soup man and cake lady confirming this wee cafe's role in the community. Oh and the coffee was great as well.

The welcome is great- staff members are friendly and chatty, and the sandwich selection is excellent. Mary had a sandwich of the day, which was a vegan sandwich with avocado, asparagus, aubergine etc. She really liked it. I had a chicken sandwich, with some salad items and cheese. Both were absolutely delicious, toasted to perfection. Mary also had a green tea and I had coffee, and those were nice as well. We were pleasantly surprised to get some free chocolate buttons with the drinks! These people know how to get to my heart. The place is quite small inside, with only a few seats, including a nice sofa by the window. An odd thing that I noticed is that when buses pass by outside, the place darkens considerably. Not a negative- just something that kept grabbing my attention! Prices are pretty good overall. Hot drinks are around £2 to £2.50. I was almost tempted by the soup and sandwich deal for £5 (sandwich alone tends to be between £3 and £4). Not bad for a lunch. I'll certainly be back, because the sandwiches are excellent, the level of toasting is just right, and I like the friendly staff as well. Recommended.
