Leaf & Bean Cafe

You'll find Leaf & Bean tucked away on Charterhall Road in Leith, the sort of spot that doesn't need Instagram to pull in a steady crowd. It's a no-nonsense coffee operation — the kind of place where they actually care about what's in your cup, not just shifting units. The setup is unpretentious: grab your flat white or americano, maybe a croissant if they've got any left, and take it with you or find a spot nearby. The rating speaks for itself among people who actually live round here rather than passing through.
