Not great food - very disappointed. Also, if you have allergies, I recommend staying away. They don't mark their allergens or all the elements that go into their meal. I got a sandwich there and it came with pesto (it didn't mark it on the menu) and then the pesto ended up being made with tree nuts rather than pine nuts. If not for my waitress double checking for me, I would've been sent straight to the hospital. The rest of the staff didn't seem to care much when I brought up the need for items being correctly described on the menu (and ideally allergens flagged).Please be careful here, or better yet, avoid altogether. Their apathy is going to get someone hurt.

I had a coffee and what was described as a goat's cheese salad, however when the dish arrived the cheese did not appear to be goat's cheese. I should have queried it but I was feeling stressed after a hard day's work, and was on my way to an event. I think it was soft cow's milk cheese.I have an intolerance to cow's milk, which is why I only eat goat's cheese, and I'm feeling the effects today. It affects my digestion. Sometimes I can manage a small amount of hard cow's milk cheese, but soft cheese is the worst for me.I've had this intolerance since 1997, and over the years most food providers have become very careful about descriptions of their food, so I've become quite relaxed and trusting. When this kind of thing happens it's an unpleasant surprise.Also the description mentioned olive oil, but I couldn't detect any, although there were some small olives in the salad.The coffee was good.

Do NOT go here for anything but coffee. I made the mistake of ordering fish and chips. But that's on me. First time in the city, walked a mile towards the castle and this was the only little cafe I happened to come across that had fish and chips. And I worried that the pub on the corner was a tourist trap because there are practically zero pubs west of here that serve food. Still, their freezer case that the food comes from is RIGHT THERE in the FRONT. Walk on past this joint to the royal mile unless you want a coffee, because that's what anyone else seemed to order.

Absolutely delightful retreat from the cold. Their tomato soup was tasty and homemade accompanied by a soft baguette. Fish and chips were very tasty. Love the crispy crumb on the fish. The honey walnut cake is an absolute delight. So light and not too sweet.

I loved the Chicken sandwich with mozzarella and cranberry sauce. Delicious. fish and chips were pretty good. Tried two desserts that were just okay. But good prices!

Really a cute place with quality food, great selection and nice location. We actually ate there twice in two days because it was so affordable and convenient.

Danish people beware! They called this a Danish Swirl. The place is good for shelter for the rain but not much more unfortunately. Kind enough staff though.

Don't take the croissant! Could have been frozen and was totally flat...Answer to owner: That's inaccurate! The croissant was warmed up and it was awful... It's not believable that you would remember every guest and therefore make the accusation that it's my fault, because I was in a hurry. I had plenty of time!
