Cafe Marmalade in Leith

Oh, let me tell you about Cafe Marmalade – it's this charming cafe tucked away in Leith, Edinburgh, and it's become a bit of a favourite for a proper Scottish breakfast or a relaxing coffee. From what I've gathered from the reviews, the food really shines; think fresh, hearty dishes with plenty of vegetarian and vegan picks that go beyond the usual fare, and portions that leave you pleasantly surprised. The coffee's rich and flavoursome, and paired with a scone or shortbread, it's just the ticket for starting your day right. The staff are absolute stars, always friendly and making sure everything runs smoothly, which adds to that cosy, mellow atmosphere – imagine a nice playlist in the background and a space that feels like a warm hug on a chilly morning. On the flip side, it does get busy, so you might have to queue or squeeze in, and with it only open five days a week, it's not always an option when you fancy a visit. Still, for the price – it's dead affordable – and the high praise it gets, I'd say it's well worth seeking out if you're in the area. All in all, it's a solid spot that does the simple things brilliantly, and I'd recommend giving it a go for a relaxed outing with mates.
