Bonnington Brunch

Head down Bonnington Road and you'll find yourself in one of those rare cafés that feels like it exists for locals rather than Instagram. The place has a proper neighbourhood vibe—the kind where regulars have their usual orders and the staff genuinely know your name. You're looking at solidly executed brunch classics: eggs done right, sourdough that's actually worth eating, and the sort of coffee that doesn't taste burnt or watery. It's casual without trying to be cool, packed most weekend mornings with folk from the surrounding Leith streets, and unpretentious in a way that's increasingly rare.
