This review is taken from the current (2012) edition.
While it’s not unusual for a New Town café to go the extra distance in terms of befriending its regulars, Leo’s Beanery’s young owners Joe and Marie Denby have really stamped their personality on the place, right down to the photos of their family which adorn the place. The lovely welcoming atmosphere is hard to beat, with children more than welcome and elderly regulars engaging in catch-up conversation with the staff by the bar. They serve Artisan Roast in a range of styles and hot lunches – for example, Toulouse sausage cassoulet, smoked salmon pate or a sweet chilli burger – from midday until 4pm. Sandwiches, salads and a full counter’s worth of fresh cakes are available all day.
- High point: Family run and family friendly
- Low point: Steep steps at the front door
