Friendly cafe. We were 3 adults and 2 kids. We knew the area was quiet so we looked in here to see if there was a table and food. There was and it was great. Recommended.

Little gem of a place where we got square on a roll (lorne sausage for all you non Scots), a latte and a slice of millionaire shortcake, delicious! and at a great price considering the location. The servers were really friendly, polite, prompt, and well presented. There are toilets upstairs. These are unisex toilets, but there is a single disabled toilet next to these if you prefer. This cafe seems to be part of the hostel next door and is only five minutes from Waverley Station main platforms across the road.

Absolutely lovely staff and calm, easy going environment. Staff were very accommodating and made adjustments with the menu with ease. Absolutely lovely. Food was top notch too and lots of options on the menu to choose from. Really nice, just had a toastie but the bread was a lovely fresh ciabatta.

What a bargain!! Incredible place we found very randomly and gave it a go. Absolutely recommend! Food is great, cooked properly and very tasty. The chicken sandwich was super and only 5 pounds!! And big portions as well. I don’t know why it is kinda unknown but it’s absolutely bargain and very close to pretty much everything, station, city center... Sandwiches come with some chips which is very nice

Only steps from the Market Street Hotel and St. Christopher's Hostel is an absolutely must visit coffee shop. Though I'm staying at the Market Street, I was not impressed with their 18 breakfast (23) and tried Jake's Place. Just what I wanted: a wonderful currant scone and an aromatic iced latte without the ice. As I never drink hot coffee (unless ill), this was akin to the espresso and half and half I make every day at home. The staff are are warm and inviting; I'll be back!
