Lots of bacon in a toasted-to-order roll. Hits the spot. Raspberry Bunny: Almost too cute to eat, almost. Nice glaze against what tastes like luxurious brioche. The raspberry flavor isn't too strong though, just where the few red bits are. Mixed Berry Bun: Seemed like a hybrid between a cinnamon bun and a danish. Had a sweet cheese glob in the center in the middle of all the cinnamon rings. Some nice fruit in the mix. Much more exciting than a normal morning bun. Brownie: Very dense and very rich. Had a gooey center. Pretty intense for breakfast, but you can save some for later in the afternoon for a pick me up.

In the front of the establishment you are served various luscious flavors of ice cream and in the back you can relax and enjoy. They have very comfortable couches where you can lie back and day dream, read or chat with another. When I recently visited I got the Banoffee and Caramel Flavors. My friend ordered some fruity scoop ...... They also sell Salted Caramel, Amarena, Gingerbread, Yoghurt, Pistacchio........about 18 flavors in total. The ice cream is creamy and just the right amount of sweet. Just luscious. You get a lot of ice cream for affordable prices. 1 scoop = £2.50, and the portion is massive. They offer even two or more flavors in one scoop. Next time I will try and get an "Affogato", a mix of coffee and ice cream. I learned that Affogato means drowning, so clearly the idea behind ice cream drowning in coffee :-) Also beware! The parlor is closed on a Sunday night after 18.00, what is a shame, as it would be nice to enjoy some delicious ice cream before bed time.

The space is cozy as we luckily found a couch to sit on. I ordered the Loose Leaf Tea (£2.50). It even came in a teapot and some milk, which was more than I was expecting. I also loved the Tiffany blue cups they have here --I'm a sucker for anything in my favorite colour. While we already ate, the food looked delicious as well as I peered over at those around us. Good spot to grab a drink or brunch in Stockbridge.

This is a hidden gem, in an excellent location between Lothian Road and the Meadows. Angelo (not…read moresure if Marcella is a surname, or somebody else's name) runs the place by himself, so you might be waiting a while for your order, depending on how busy it is, but you won't be disappointed. The food is authentic, delicious, and extremely good value! We visited for a meal before a concert on Lothian Road, and were one of only two couples at the place initially. (A much larger group arrived just as we finished, so I'm glad that timing worked out!) I wanted pasta, so ordered a simple spaghetti bolognese. Mary ordered a pizza with a variety of vegetables. We brought our own bottle of wine, after reading previous reviews that suggested free corkage. BYOB is absolutely fine, but the corkage is NOT free. It cost £2 for the bottle of wine. However, it's fine, because the rest of the meal was very good value. That said, I am a little confused about the corkage cost, because I did not see any alcohol for sale on the menu... The food, when it arrived, was excellent. The portions were generous, everything tasted great. We also had garlic bread as a starter and apple pie for dessert. The decor of the place is very simple, nothing fancy here. There are nice pictures from Italy (mostly Sicily), and some AC Milan decor. Angelo certainly isn't very talkative, but he's welcoming, and makes good food. Recommended.

This is something of a hidden gem. It wouldn't fare well if you were to judge on looks alone. It is…read morerun by a slightly grumpy Italian man who I assume is Marcella, he is never to be rushed so if you are eating in it may seem he has forgotten your order but he hasn't! The interior is decorated in plastic flowers, plastic fruit and blue tiling. However, I urge you to look past this as it all adds to the unique experience of Marcella and, if you are anything like me, you will learn to love the quirks of this establishment. Serving big plates of hot, tasty, filling food at budget prices is my go to place after a long, cold, grey Edinburgh day. A huge plate of pasta, garlic bread and a drink will set you back £5. If you want to splash out on a three course feast you won't be out of pocket by more than around £12. As well as great pizza and pasta you should also try one of the many sweet pies and pastries he erves. Rather than going to one of the many coffee shop chains around, head to Marcella and get yourself a pie and cappucino for the same price as a skinny latte in a certan multi national coffee chain that shall remain nameless!

It's run by a couple of ladies, both of whom had a very cheery disposition, and gave me a warm welcome. I bought myself a bottle of water and sat down to enjoy the relaxed ambience. The cafe had a very fresh feeling, with a few tables and chairs, some window seats, and a smattering of sofas. There was a wide range of hot and cold food, cakes, desserts and even Mackies ice cream on offer. Whilst I didn't sit outside in said outdoor seating (it was raining), I can see that it would be a pleasant place to have a seat outside. This place is a real find. Make sure to pay them a visit if you're in the area - you won't be disappointed!

The coffee is good as well, but what I love about this place is that it sells Mackie's ice cream! Next to Ben and Jerry's, definitely my favourite! I find that the staff are always friendly in here and the decor is bright and fun, so Caffe Citro is always on my list when looking for a fresh bite and drink around Corstorphine!
