The first time I encountered Zumo smoothies was in the Gyle shopping centre last year and since…read morethen I made it my habit to also stop at Zumo whilst shopping in and around the Gyle or even when heading towards one of the big motorways :-) I normally go for the Cherry Frenzy smoothie , which is a mix of banana, cherries, honey and Yoghurt. Its very tasty and smooth. It's pricey and there are only two sizes: regular and large (£4.39). There is no place to sit at this Zumo stand, but you can sit anywhere in the Gyles and enjoy your fruit juice or smoothie. I'm quite practical and normally continue shopping with my smoothie and so far was not thrown out of any shop :-) It's a fruit heaven for children and adults alike and you might also get your 5's a day!

Holy Cow is such a staple for me on my visits to Edinburgh. The food is so comforting and…read moredelicious. Holy cow is 100% plant based and has a wide variety of options to choose from. Most recently, I had the english breakfast and it was a hardy plate full of all the essentials. Everything on it was excellent. I was also excited to see that they had a house-made pumpkin spice latte on the menu, even in July! Holy Cow can get very busy (when I was there on a Thursday, one group after another came in.) But they do a good job at seating everyone quickly, as well as taking orders and bringing out food promptly. During my last visit, I was seated inside, but previously I got to enjoy their back patio. The latter is really lovely on a rare sunny day in Edinburgh. Either way, you'll enjoy your time here.

I only discovered it yesterday but it's already a favourite lunch time place for me. The place seems to be favoured by many others as well, as it's always packed when I go there but that can only be a good sign, right? This sandwich shop offer soups, salads, baguettes, sandwiches and smoothies to name a few things. They do great deals, e.g. for a brekkie deal you get a filled roll and coffee for under £2 and lunch time meal deals you could choose a soup and a wrap for £3.49 Yesterday I had the most scrumptious thai lentil soup and today I went for a mexican chicken soup. Both soups were full of flavour and it's nice that they have these sort of different flavours instead of the usual plain lentil soup (though nothing wrong with that either). What is great about Lime is that the people who work there actually SMILE. It makes me want to go back, and I will :)

Small cafe in Grassmarket - quaint, super friendly and healthy…read more The avocado toast with feta and just that dash of balsamic hit the spot for breakfast my first morning in Edinburgh. We were out before the crowds so the cafe was busy but not overwhelmed. The right amount of avocado to be filling and feta just added that touch of salt without making it too salty. I love a good balsamic w/my avocado toast and love even more when I don't need to ask for it. The Betty Ford was delicious. A bright spot in what was starting out as a dreary day. Fresh fruit with the brightness of the citrus, nothing added to enhance the flavors letting the fruit stand out w/no annoying smoothie base. The only thing to note is that they will split the check at the register but are not keen on it. Overall, def would make this a regular stop as part of my Edinburgh eating locales

No... I screw up my eyes a little. - It can't be!…read moreBubble tea? In Stirling?! 'Urban Bubble. Bubble tea and ice cream bar.' YES! - I did a little celebratory dance right there and then before proceeding to walk past on a daily basis like some sort of bubble tea maniac, checking for signs of an opening date. Finding their Facebook page a mere half an hour before they opened made for a quick run to town, excited to try Stirling's new bubble tea offering. My experience with bubble tea so far has been mixed. I find the quality and taste varies hugely depending on where you go. The strawberry milk tea from Tempo tea bar in Glasgow makes for a dreamy milkshake-like wonder and I've never been disappointed. Equally so, I've had chemically-tasting, watery or separating bubbles teas from several places now. So I was excited but, ultimately, prepared for disappointment. We were the first customers and I got to try the first bubble tea he'd ever made. We had quite a wait but we were excited to have a peek around. It's small with a cake counter at the front. (They stock the local Caledonia Cheesecake Company cakes!) They've a seriously impressive selection of ice cream (and perhaps some froyo too!) at the front, a slushie machine and electronic screens for menus. All sounding good! - But how did the bubble tea taste? As we were the first customers he gave us them for free owing to them essentially being practice drinks and the fact that we had waited for some time. They were watery and the flavour was weak. I think more mixture and perhaps a milk base is required. They didn't get it right first time but I'm so hopeful that I can come here for a great bubble tea soon as the mixture definitely tasted like the good kind. - No horrible chemical taste here! Also, I'm not a fan of tapioca boba so I was thrilled that they stock popping bubbles. The strawberry ones were delicious! I'm holding out on you, Urban Bubble!

It's nicely decorated, the service is efficient and it's always thronging which proves how popular it is. It looks quite swish from the outside but the prices aren't through the roof, which makes it exceptionally affordable on the Royal Mile. With filled rolls, baguettes and sweets, I've got to say my favourite snack from Glenha's has got to be one of their breakfast rolls. Fry up's are good old fashioned, simple food, and they always hit the spot. Especially if you're knackered after making it up hilly Cockburn Street to get here! Great prices, loads of outdoor seating and speedy service, it's one of the best snack bars on the Royal Mile. And I still can't believe how affordable it is!

As a general rule, it is best to avoid anywhere that serves either food or drink on the Royal Mile…read more It will probably be disgusting, and you'll get far better just a couple of minutes down South Bridge. To be honest, when it comes to their "deli" and "juice bar", I wouldn't expect much more from Glenda's either, but they definitely have one ace up their sleeve. Hot dogs. Normally saved for visits to the cinema, or when being ripped off by inbred gypsies at some seedy, god-awful fairground, they're on sale here, are properly grilled, and at £2.20 for one the size of a horse's dobber, are worth every penny. It is just the scrapings from the abbatoir floor, injected with 90% water, but tastes great.

The service is sometimes a little lacking. - I've seen staff text whilst dealing with customers and they do tend to struggle during their busier periods. Also, the smoothies can sometimes vary from staff member to staff member; especially when they get new starts. I like that they offer a loyalty card and that they're happy to make me a custom smoothie. (Brekkie Blast with no strawberries, please!) Sometimes I do get the feeling the staff would rather be doing anything but making my smoothie. For the most part, I can't fault the smoothies...but I'd like my smoothie with a smile!
