Cafe Blush

Head down Morningside Road and you'll find yourself in one of Edinburgh's most residential, lived-in neighbourhoods—the sort of place where locals actually live rather than just visit. Cafe Blush fits right in: it's the kind of cafe you'd want round the corner from your flat, all warm lighting and genuine friendliness without trying too hard. The breakfast and lunch menu is straightforward but done properly, and they clearly take their coffee seriously. It's got the kind of reputation that brings people back regularly, not just once.
