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.

We got ourselves a couple hot sips (tea for the wifey and cocoa for myself). They did a cute (and manly) mustache in my cocoa. The cocoa was rich and flavorful. My wife enjoyed her tea as well. For our treats, we enjoyed a frosted (with the Scottish flag) cookie and a slice of triple layer cake. Everything was great. The shop was clean, and the service was friendly and quick.

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!

Anyway back to WofM. We found it on Yelp and it was just around the corner from our AirBNB. It has been around for about a decade and is basically not much more than a hole in the wall. Disregard appearances from across the street - it maybe a bit dark inside but it is clean and the staff upbeat. They serve only breakfast and lunch. We took breakfast - both the coffee and the full breakfast were good and good value for money. I understand why they don't open for dinner - soooo many good options in Edinburgh. However would I recommend for breakfast or all day lunch (I uploaded a pic of the menu) YES! If I am back in Edinburgh and close then I will definitely revisit Review #81 2019

Edinburgh has a lot of really great coffee shops but Leith is the one part of town which I think is…read morelacking in this area. Printworks has the word coffee in their name and are at least making an effort to take it seriously. It uses Monmouth beans and it's better than average but it doesn't really come close to the more serious Edinburgh coffee places such as Artisan Roast, BrewLab etc. Flat white had good flavour but just lacked a bit of depth and precision. I'm always willing the coffee to be great and I'm always just a tad disappointed. There is a selection of paninis and soups. It would be nice if they had a few healthier options, but my chicken and pesto panini had a nice golden crunch. Cakes and pastries from local bakeries looked tempting. Its a small but bright space, pleasant enough for a spot of lunch provided it's not too busy. It's not perfect but for now it's still probably the best coffee your going to get in this part of town so it edges into 4 star territory.

Print Works is my current favourite lunch time place. I didn't even know of their existence, until…read morea lady from Union of Genius kindly informed me that this cafe stocks their soups. Another bonus is that is close to where I live and work. So I had to go there. And I keep going there every day. This little cafe has a wonderful array of sandwiches, paninis and the soups (usually 2 options on offer daily). I haven't tried their coffee yet, but I'm sure it would be very good as everything I've had from there so far has been delicious. They sell chocolate brownies from Lovecrumbs, and the bread that comes with the soup is from Dough Re Mi (nice artisan bread). The display counter also has various cakes and cheese cakes and pastries... It all looks so tempting that I'm surprised that so far I have only tried the brownie which was gorgeous - but I feel I should try the other stuff too, in equal measures :) Friendly service and nice chat. A takeaway soup (about 300ml) with bread is £2.65.
