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.

When visiting Edinburgh, everyone knows The Milkman is a must try spot. A staple to the quiet,…read morequaint yet bustling corner of Old Town, The Milkman menu features a small, simple yet unique offering of pastries, coffee & tea. It is the perfect spot for those on the go as seating is very limited. Inside, you'll find the place to be quite charming. Stone covered walls, warm lighting & the aroma of freshly made coffee makes this place feel like one out of a storybook. Both times I've gone, I was greeted by the friendly staff who did a wonderful job keeping everything in order as it was quite busy. I usually don't opt for hot coffee, but as it was a cold and rainy day, I opted for what I believe was a brown sugar honey latte. For munching, I had the strawberry croissant. The coffee itself was very small in size, but it had great flavor. It was subtle, with the perfect amount of sweetness. The croissant was flaky and the layers of the dough filled crust were incredibly delicious. is it the best coffee I've ever had? Certainly not, but the service and the charm of the cafe make it all well worth It. It truly is a must try spot when visiting Edinburgh. Stop in for a hot cup of coffee, take a stroll and get carried way in the streets of Edinburgh.

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.

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

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.
