One of my favourite places in town . I love the atmosphere and the view on Princes Street , the gardens and the castle is amazing... Hope you are lucky to find a seat at the window!

Great selection of books , frequent book events , but the highlight is the amazing view of the castle from a few seats of the upstairs café !

Emma S.

Great coffee , great place and excellent view . Unfortunately it's very hard to get a nice viewing spot, especially if it rains.

Lydia Buzova

Beautiful view on Ediburgh castle and Princes Street Gardens with delicious coffee .
