Empires

0.8 miles
24 St Mary's Street, Edinburgh, EH1 1SU

It would be easy to wander past the narrow St Mary’s Street frontage of Empires. However, an inquisitive peer inside reveals a compact dark-wood interior that comes to life when illuminated by candles and coloured lanterns. A handful of ground-level…

The Himalaya Centre

0.9 miles
20 South Clerk Street, Edinburgh, EH8 9PR

In 2005, at the Scottish Parliament, the Dalai Lama told Reka Gawa: ‘Don't forget you’re Tibetan; keep the culture alive.’ She had long dreamed of opening a shop, and in 2007, inspired by his words, she did so: the photo of their meeting hangs proudly…

Word of Mouth

1.1 miles
3a Albert Street, Edinburgh, EH7 5HL

With the previous proprietor having left to open the Skylark in Portobello, Word of Mouth has reverted to its original ownership, although the menu of French-influenced cafe favourites remains the same. A pre-noon breakfast menu takes in the traditional…

Broughton Delicatessen

1.2 miles
7 Barony Street, Edinburgh, EH3 6PD

The Forest Café

1.6 miles
141 Lauriston Place, Edinburgh, EH3 9JN

The Forest vegetarian café is known less for its coffee and more as a shared space for like-minded people. The dusty, glass-fronted former shop unit is perhaps a surprising haven for the city’s artists and creative types. It is nevertheless buzzing with…

Leo's Beanery

1.6 miles
23a Howe Street, Edinburgh, EH3 6TF

With its mismatched vintage furniture and air of aspirational bohemianism this is a definitively Stockbridge café. With weekly French classes and monthly supper and baking clubs, the efforts to establish itself within the neighbourhood clearly run more…

The Purple Pig Café

1.7 miles
12 Leven Street, Edinburgh, EH3 9LG

The Purple Pig is perhaps the only pig you can trust around food. This bright, white Tollcross café, run by a green but keen brother-and-sister team, is as steadfast as a bacon roll. Fresh, local ingredients, chosen for taste, are simply and competently…

Sprio

1.8 miles
37/39 St Stephen Street, Edinburgh, EH3 5AH

The colourful, design savvy interior and good coffee at this little deli/café give a nod to owner Marcello Sprio’s home town of Milan. With imported Italian sweets, Italian newspapers, magazines and radio it is only the Tunnock’s teacakes that remind…

Copper Bird Café

1.9 miles
129 Morrison Street, Edinburgh, EH3 8AJ

Copper Bird The stylish, undemanding charm of this neat wee cafe makes it a welcome addition to a largely neglected section of Morrison Street. Having left a career in accountancy to start up her own successful cupcake business, Edel Porter has taken…
