The 2013 edition of The List's Eating & Drinking Guide is out now – only £5.95 (+p&p).
This review is taken from the current (2013) edition.
Business partners Ingrid Nilsson and Stuart Allan have a solid catering background having spent time working in various Edinburgh restaurants. After going it alone a couple of years ago, and utilising their skills as an artist and a framer, they’ve made a real go of this cafe-cum-gallery venture in the heart of the New Town. Hosting local regulars and out-of-towners, this cheery pair makes you feel right at home. Typical tasty examples on the seasonally changing menu include a hot-smoked salmon salad or a warm BLT with salad and crisps. There’s great coffee, portions are vast and the food is cooked to order. A pretty cake board features a variety of delights, and the chef clearly has fun experimenting with different flavour combinations.
- High point: Good value for money

Love this art-cafe. Super friendly service with amazingly fresh food choices (sweet and savoury).
Very reasonably priced and a wonderful 'arty' atmosphere without being stuck up.
The cakes are to die for, as are the fresh scones.

This has quickly become my favourite cafe in the area. The owners are very friendly, the food is delicious, and it's a decent art gallery, rather than the after-thought that some places tend to be. Coffee is excellent too. All in all a very welcoming place to spend time in.

fantastic cafe and gallery - the best homemade soup and cakes in the area and some unique and original gifts - and all at really reasonable prices! This is a great place to meet friends when in town - love it.
