Looking for coffee and a good cake – part 2, 2019

Christopher Garvie May 3, 2019 May 6, 2019
Main Street Beanery is facing competition from the café at The Printing Works.

Earlier in the year I was thinking about ‘fika’, the Swedish tradition of cake, coffee and chat, and a few places around town to enjoy. Time has passed, walks have happened, coffees have been sampled and a few more places considered.

Looking for coffee and a good cake

Christopher Garvie January 11, 2019 January 10, 2019
The view from Don't tell mama. (It's OK, you can tell anyone you like. Really.)

As Caroline prepares for a quick return trip to Stockholm, I am thinking of the missed opportunities for ‘fika’ while I remain in Edinburgh. It has been a while since Edinburgh Foody strolled the streets to taste the local coffees and this week offers a chance to resolve that. This…

Greater than the sum of its part, Kerry got to experience the newly opened Eden Locke, a design-led aparthotel for those who want to challenge the status quo, and experience something unique. Continue reading

Roasted cauliflower salad

I don’t often have quiet afternoons on my own with the chance to have a leisurely few hours doing my own thing, however an opportunity popped up the other week and I seized the chance to take my mum out for lunch. We had heard there was a buzz in…

Brew Lab – Forging a New Coffee Culture

Kerry Teakle May 9, 2017 May 10, 2017
Co-founders, Dave Law and Tom Hyde, are pioneering change in Edinburgh’s coffee culture

Having worked as Head of Press at the Gilded Balloon back in 2011, a common complaint from my team, the majority of whom were Australians and many of the Antipodean performers was that you just couldn’t get a decent cup of coffee in Edinburgh. They did have a point. Six…

Odds and Ends – New coffee shop in Polwarth

Christopher Garvie November 19, 2014 April 25, 2017
Odds and Ends - a welcome addition to the Polworth café scene

I must admit that I tend to go through Polwarth and rarely stop for long. I was on my way to Brunstfield when I saw Odds and Ends, luckily time and my curiosity allowed a quick pit stop. I lived in the area when I first moved to Edinburgh and…

Where can I get a good cup of coffee in Edinburgh’s City Centre?

Christopher Garvie October 3, 2014 April 25, 2017
Today's lunch menu at Cairgorm Coffee

Following from the recent post on Brunstfield, my stroll around Edinburgh has now made it into the heart of the city.  The centre of Edinburgh is full of good places to rest your feet while sipping a tasty brew, therefore this list is not exhaustive but only contains a few…

Where to get coffee in Edinburgh – Bruntsfield

Christopher Garvie August 27, 2014 April 25, 2017
A well-made coffee is a beautiful thing.

As the thought for these articles occurred to me in Bruntsfield, I’ll start there. Few places can sum up the new Edinburgh’s café culture as well as Bruntsfield. Within a couple of hundred yards there is an amazing range of options to suit every taste and budget, with honest charm…

Where can I get a good cup of coffee in Edinburgh? Collating a list of Edinburgh cafés

Christopher Garvie July 13, 2014 April 25, 2017
Coffee, served well, is a beautiful thing.

Oh, how the world has changed! Edinburgh is now a metropolis if not quite the continental European city it is drifting towards (a challenge with our weather!). Think back 20 years and Edinburgh’s tea and coffee shops were practically non-existent, limited to a few dingy spaces overly focused on tray…

Joys and pains of specialist cafés, Edinburgh

Caroline von Schmalensee January 7, 2011 April 25, 2017
Tea cozies at Loopy Lorna's

There are so many cafés in Edinburgh now that to compete, cafés have to become centres of excellence, specialists in one thing or another. Some are specialists in coffee. Others are specialists in something else: books, chocolate or bread, for example. Or tea. The tea house is a relatively recent addition…
