Breakfast & menu
A full Scottish breakfast, a proper bowl of porridge, a scone or a slice of cake, and a flat white. What people come back for, in their own words.
Served from 7:30am, every day
Full Scottish breakfast
The plate reviewers mention most, and haggis comes up in 28 reviews. Kevin Bates had his first taste of haggis and black pudding here and found both excellent, “hearty, tasty and very high quality”. Sarvenaz Z called it the best Scottish breakfast she has ever had, with a very adequate portion at a very reasonable price.
More about the full Scottish
Traditional Scottish porridge
A hearty bowl before a day walking the Old Town.
Porridge comes up in seven reviews. Kevin Bates had the traditional Scots porridge alongside the full Scottish over three mornings and rated both hearty, tasty and very high quality. A good, warm start before the walk up to the Castle.
Scones and cakes
Scones, carrot cake, chocolate cake and Victoria sponge.
Reviewers mention the scones (13), the carrot cake (9), the chocolate cake (3) and the Victoria sponge (2). Ask at the counter what is on today, and have it with a pot of tea: Sarvenaz Z says the tea was amazing as well.
Coffee, tea and smoothies
Flat whites, mochas, tea and fruit smoothies.
“The team at the Coffee Mill make a cracking good coffee,” says Kevin Bates, who enjoyed the flat white so much he came back every morning. Sarvenaz Z really enjoyed her mocha, Claudio Kuenzler says the coffee tastes great, and Adrian Ballestrin's children loved the fruit smoothies.
