   Despite a sign which clearly announces that food allergies and sensitivities like gluten intolerance could be taken into account, I was informed very rudely that the kitchen was too small to deal with such things. The young lady appeared to be in a bad mood and needs to be taught customer skills. Perhaps she is in the wrong job. My friend and I will definitely not be back.

   The Lodge Coffee House – A Caffeinated Trip into the Surreal Nestled in the caffeinated underbelly of Edinburgh lies The Lodge Coffee House, a stone sanctum where time sips itself backwards and espresso machines hum ancient jazz riffs. Upon entering, we were greeted by Mick, a man forged from equal parts kindness, bacon, and 80's nostalgia. Like a caffeinated Gandalf, he emerged from the steam with eyes full of welcome and hands full of bacon barms. He threw them at us, not aggressively, but like a benevolent goblin flinging gifts at chosen mortals. The coffee.... the coffee. Brewed by a barista who may have once been a shaman, the flat white shared secrets. The atmosphere, like being hugged by a velvet bear in a log cabin built by monks who understand everything. We had a chat with Mick about life, meat, and the nature of gravy. At one point, he levitated slightly while describing his sausage procurement strategy. The location is prime, trees bowed politely as we sipped. In short, The Lodge is not just a coffee house. It’s a mystical experience wrapped in cured meat and friendliness. Five out of five cosmic beans. Would definitely go again.

   Handy place to grab a drink or snack, pre or post walk. I've tried the cakes, scones and toasties, all very good, with that home made feel.

   Outdoor seating with canopies sheltering tables and chairs. Quick service at the servicing window for homemade soup, toasties. coffee and tea. etc. Just what's needed beige or after a walk through the Hermitage of Braid.

   We visit semi-regularly with our son and two shelties and we absolutely love it. Owners are wonderful and remembered us after only a few visits which was a lovely experience! Highly recommended.

   Best scones I've ever had (raspberry and white chocolate are perfection). Toasties are also excellent. Great spot to refuel when you've been for a run or a ramble in the Hermitage of Braid / Blackford Hill, and dog friendly.

   Fantastic little coffee shop open offering good value for money. Has a well established clientele of locals dropping in, as well as walkers, some with dogs as it's dog friendly. We particularly like the carry outside seating area, as it's astro turfed, enclosed and has a couple of tables under cover. Inside it's cosy warm but not huge, just perfectly formed. The tea and coffee are excellent and cold drinks are available. We like their soup and toastie combo if were passing around lunchtime. As the soup is wholesome and the bread and fillings are very tasty. Earlier in the day we go for their home made scones or the ginger cake. World's away from big brand outlets offerings.
