Traade

Head down to Portobello High Street and you'll find Traade tucked amongst the independent shops that still make this stretch feel like actual Edinburgh rather than a carbon copy of everywhere else. It's the sort of place where the person behind the counter actually cares about your coffee rather than just moving you along, and you'll clock regulars hunched over laptops or catching up properly with mates. The 4.9 rating isn't accidental—there's a real attention to detail here, from sourcing through to what lands in your cup.
