Coffee shop · Lauriston

@cntraveler

"This sizable, sophisticated cafe along the route of The Meadows, the University of Edinburgh, and the National Museum of Scotland was once an opticians' office. Coffee luminary Jonathan Sharp (also of Kilimanjaro, Project Coffee, and Blackwood Coffee) preserved the original moniker and façade’s brass lettering when he opened Thomas J. Walls Coffee in 2016, so be on the lookout for its logo: a monocle that holds a curious resemblance to a coffee mug. The brunch offerings are solid, especially the avocado toast with feta and pumpkin seeds, and the smoked salmon rosti—so order up." - Danielle Bernabe
