“ Great for coffee and sandwiches and salad, especially the Sourdough Foccacio ones ”
“ The focaccia sandwich was amazing. We had the chicken with avocado and skipped on the bacon and it was great. Completely recommend. They have baby chairs too. Super central location. ”
“ Finally a place to get salad bowls in Edinburgh, I could cry. I got the beetroot cured salmon salad, and it was quite good. They also do fresh squeezed orange juice! ”
“ So good! In Edinburgh from out of town and landed at Fettle for lunch. Such a nice convivial atmosphere - the kind of place you want to invite your friend to meet you for a chat. Best soup (sweet potato, chili, coconut) ever - served piping hot. (If I was nearby, I’d be back for the soup every day!) Creative fresh salads with quality locally-sourced ingredients and delicious dressings. Stuffed focaccias look yummy, but instead I opted for a gluten-free brownie, served warm. Will be back! ”
“ I can't believe I've never bothered trying this cafe before. It's perfect. Delicious food and smoothies for reasonable prices. I enjoyed sitting and listening to some classics that I hadn't heard in a long time as well. Thoroughly enjoyed my lunch. ”
“ i love the coffee, sandwiches, smoothies, and soups here. lovely spot to sit and work for a bit, or enjoy their patio when the weather’s nice. there’s an extra charge for sitting in, but it’s not much, and a fair price given how busy they can get and how long people stay. they do run out of focaccia often later in the day (they are open quite awhile!), so if you’re eager for a sandwich make sure not to save it til too late! ”
“ favourite place for focaccia sandwich in Edinburgh. Love the pesto chicken one (also the chicken bacon avocado) with caesar salad. Usually has a line up. ”
“ Visited after a quick google search to get away from the museum kitchen food. Was a great little find with super tasty Focaccia’s (we had a half- cheese only for a 2 year old) and a pastrami which were both delicious. Baked fresh and you can clearly taste this. Our table also had miso tofu salad which was extremely good. Highly recommend to go here a very short walk from tourist central. Worth it! ”
