My Favorite Places in Edinburgh 

Lovecrumbs West Port

Lovecrumbs Cafe + Lifestyle Store is a short stroll from Grassmarket and Edinburgh Castle.
Nestled amid vintage shops and the bustling Western Bar, it's a go-to spot for locals, art students, and office workers alike. Treat yourself to their renowned homemade sweet treats, savoury snacks, and specialty coffee in a relaxed, friendly atmosphere.
Also, make sure you try their delicious hot chocolate!

Delicious homemade cakes. Go if you like cake! Lol

Any place with a window seat is a winner to me
