This wee coffee shop is always busy! They always have posters up on the walls advertising the next gig or concert in Edinburgh's ally's. Because of this, I always think it's pretty cool!\n\nThey don't have many places to sit other than a couple stools at the window, which are almost always occupied. But it doesn't really matter, you can get your food/coffee and eat en route or find a nice seat somewhere - I personally go down to Dynamic Earth and use their picnic benches.\nTheir food menu isn't substantial but is good nevertheless. It's relatively cheap and can give you a student discount if you ask nicely.\n\nI really like this place as it is en route to my classes and is cheaper than the bigger chains. Their coffee is hot though, so if you're not a heat-freak, like me, then leave it to cool down for a while. Your tongue will thank you for it.
