Rosie's Coffee Bar And Kitchen

You'll find yourself returning to this Princes Street spot more often than you'd planned. The kind of place where the baristas remember your order and the regulars have claimed their favourite tables by the window. The coffee's consistently good – none of that bitter, burnt nonsense you get elsewhere – and they know their way around a proper breakfast. The menu strikes that perfect balance between cafe classics and something a bit more interesting. Their sandwiches are generously filled and the cakes actually taste homemade rather than delivered from some industrial bakery. It's the sort of place that anchors the neighbourhood, where you can settle in with a laptop or catch up with mates without feeling rushed. The staff are sound and the atmosphere's just right – busy enough to feel alive but not so mental you can't have a conversation.
