Red Kite Café

Head down to Cadzow Place in Leith and you'll find Red Kite Café doing what it does best: turning out thoughtful, well-executed breakfast and lunch dishes that actually make you want to sit around for hours. The kind of place where the coffee's taken seriously but nobody's precious about it, and the menu changes enough to keep regulars coming back without being exhausting. You'll see locals queuing at weekends, but it moves quickly and feels genuinely welcoming rather than sceney.
