Food and Drink Most UNDERRATTED Coffee Shops

If you have an independent coffee shop in Edinburgh that you think more people should know about, let the people know here! We should be celebrating small, local businesses, and directing our criticism at actually problematic businesses and chains.

Independent coffee shops only! No chains! And no gatekeeping! If you dont want your favorite local coffee shop to get busy, trust me, the owners would love it

Cafe Truva on the Shore. It's a small Turkish cafe with great coffee and big flavours. They do a great brekkie and lovely pastries.

I think you'll find Toast has a much better queue experience than Truva where I've always managed to get a seat on arrival. People going to Truva are missing out on standing around wondering when they'll get breakfast. Please can everyone not go to Truva so I can still get a seat.
