The Pastry Section

Such a wonderful dessert shop with incredibly tasty treats. The most popular items sell out quickly, so it’s best to visit early in the day. The staff are always friendly and welcoming, which makes the experience even better.

Everything here is soooo delicious. We've tried the apple tart, ultimate brownie, carrot cake and cheese scone - all perfect. The texture and flavour of cakes and pastries here are amazing. The staff are always friendly and give us tissues, forks etc. when we takeaway the pastries, which is perfect for enjoying in the nearby inverleith park.

what on earth was that blondie … 🫠🫠 such a shame because everything looked delicious but the white chocolate blondie was like eating mush. i wouldn’t recommend keeping that on your menu. The texture was like no bake iv ever tasted before . it was like it was still in its dough form and hadn’t been baked yet. so disappointing . We also got these basked cheesecake which was lovely however was “white chocolate” and didn’t taste of white chocolate at all. I fear I just made the wrong choices and other items could have been better . However I do feel it was a complete waste of money. The staff were very friendly and the shop itself well presented .

DELICIOUS yum diddly umptious !!! You have to try the cinnamon rolls. Only downside is that there isn’t much space insides besides a few tiny 1-person tables. But I can’t wait to go and try more of their cakes 😫

Nanaimo more like Nanai-yes! As a Canadian from BC I was shocked to see our local confectionery in Edinburgh. I must try it. While it is not as sweet as our version I found it better! Nanaimo bars are so sweet it hurts my teeth. If more was like this one I’d eat it regularly. Please consider entering this one in a Nanaimo competition.

The bakes and cakes change every day and the window displays on special occasions are truly stunning. Flavours and combinations are very creative and a constant surprise. Having bought the ginger layer cake and chocolate-chocolate very recently, they were both divine! I am a regular customer and have to mention Alice, who is a standout for me. She is always so warm and friendly and makes my visits extra special.

Can't beat the cakes here, visited countless times and never been disappointed. If you ever see the sticky toffee slice on the menu - get it! Ps don't bother queuing for Lannan just come here instead.

I popped in here while passing by, irresistibly drawn to sweet treats like a kid to a sweetie shop. And boy, do they have a treasure trove of goodies! The lady who served me was pleasant, giving me the lowdown on their cakes and pastries like a pro dessert connoisseur. The selection? Vast, my friends. They've got all the classics you love and some unique concoctions that tickle my adventurous taste buds. On her recommendation, I snagged an Eton mess cinnamon bun, a raspberry and pistachio cake, a Swiss roll a cherry crumble filling, a cake with assorted chocolates (I know, I should've taken notes), and a honeycomb slice. Plus, everything is freshly baked at their Leith store, so you know you're getting the good stuff. When I got home, I realized they forgot to pack the honeycomb slice. One star deducted for that oversight – my taste buds wept. Now, let’s talk about the Eton mess bun. I devoured that bad boy solo right outside the shop because it was so massive, they couldn't close the lid without squashing it. I couldn’t possibly ruin this attractive looking masterpiece. A rather convenient excuse to not share it with my wife, who was waiting at home. Sorry, not sorry. Picture this: me, standing there, face covered in dessert, looking like a kid who found the cookie jar. The name "Eton Mess" couldn’t be more accurate. And with a lack of napkins made it a real sticky situation. Despite its glorious filling, the bun itself was a bit dry in parts. But hey, we can’t have it all, right? The other cakes that I did share (because I’m not a complete monster) were phenomenal. This place is great, and I’ll definitely be back to explore more of their delights – hopefully with better napkin preparedness next time.
