Canongate Coffee Company

I live around the corner but just found this wonderful gem. The chap who is at the helm (whenever I have been in) is wonderful with excellent customer service. Its small and I couldn't get a seat today...a day I believe it is meant to be closed which just goes to show how popular it is! I still ordered one of their to die for scones, homemade scone, cream, jam, real strawberries - today I scoffed it in the street managing to dribble jam, cream and dust icing sugar all over myself and pregnant belly! I have no shame and enjoyed every mouthful. Another customer at the counter commented that she too was delighted the cafe had opened this dull Monday as she was conducting some sort of love affair with their sandwiches (intriguing response I thought). Its also dog friendly as I noticed from a previous visit with gluten and vegan options too (sorry but whatever, gimme the cream scones everyday thanks). My advice - go. Just go!

Wee gem of a coffee shop on Royal Mile. Was lured in on a rainy afternoon by the scent of freshly baked scones to find a plethora of delicious looking cakes on display. I opted for the scones & my colleague was delighted to discover that there were vegan toasted panini style rolls with falafel !!! All washed down with two freshly made speciality coffees!!! Hit the spot & very reasonably priced. Defo be back in again next time we are in Burg! Thanks !

I visited this charming cafe whilst visiting Edinburgh at the weekend. I chose the goats cheese and roasted vegetable ciabatta from the fantastic menu and it was delicious, all cooked fresh, on site with ingredients from locaI suppliers. I didn't have time to sit in but next time i intend to, such a welcoming, cosy ambience, perfect when looking for a spot for lunch and a warm up after exploring the city on a cold winter's day. I rounded it off with a granola bar, quite honestly the best i've ever eaten! The cakes look to die for too, another must for next time.

Popped in for lunch yesterday and had a wonderful experience. Though it doesn't look like much from the street, we had the most delicious food. The hummus and falafel sandwich and the scone were possibly the best we've had. Not dry and perfectly balanced. Coffee was fab too! Highly recommend for a place to relax after you've walked up Arthur's Seat.
