“I ordered a mug from Pippin gifts recently and was very impressed. It was swiftly dispatched and arrived in the next day. The mug was packaged well so it arrived intact. The hand written slip from Erika was a wonderful personal touch. Thank you so much, I am delighted with my purchase, I look forward to using the company again!”

“Maria has been great, she explored options online and in stock, she ordered a product for us to try with no obligation to buy.”

“Shop in my local co-op closer to home so popped in thinking it would be 10x more expensive with it being in a prime tourist area. Shockingly it was all the exact same price as back home with a cracking selection. Hot food, Costa machine and plenty of checkouts if you want in and out quick.”

“Extremely friendly staff! Gave us free water as soon as we walked in, didn't even have to ask. The latte with maple spice syrup was INSANE. Like so good. Like I-have-barely-had-such-a-good-coffee in my life good. The Mediterranean wrap was also delicious ^^”

“Amazing cafe with delicious food and fantastic big yummy coffee! We had latte and long black for coffee and they were great coffees, my husband had a second cup after food! I had beef chimichanga and he had vegan sandwiches which we both absolutely love! My beef roll was super yummy and very generous in size! Definitely a recommended dish! Lovely cafe and even more friendly staff!!!”

“My family and I attended the Lonely Broomstick yesterday. It was one of the best experiences we have had this year. Made to feel so welcome and the kids had a great time making their potions. Highly recommend to any Harry Potter fans.”

“I'm so incredibly happy with the engagement ring, me and my partner chose from Daniel Henderson. It's just beautiful! The design is amazing – really unique and just my style. The quality is fantastic; it feels solid and well-made. All the little details are just right, which makes it look great and feel really comfortable to wear. My partner told me Daniel was great to work with, he was incredibly friendly. He is not only highly skilled but also passionate about creating perfect pieces. His work truly elevates the ring from jewellery to art. Thank you Daniel ☺️✨”

“Absolute gem in Edinburgh. Lovely people, delicious cakes, and quality coffee. Great place to begin your day or have a lunch. I need that cheesecake recipe”

“Superb selection of beverages, with knowledgable and friendly owners. We came in for a small bottle of red wine and left with a box of different wines, Prosecco, and sake. Fantastic selection of beer and whiskey too, I noticed.”

“The owner and staff are the loveliest people in Edinburgh: so generous, kind, and thoughtful with all their customers (and not just customers, anyone they see walking past on the street who needs assistance). I cannot count the number of times I've walked past this cafe and seen the owner helping someone out. An Edinburgh food classic. They make the best sandwiches, we won't stop coming here or recommending it :)”

“First time here for a solo treat for myself, I was warmly welcomed. As I looked through the menu, it was a tough decision to decide what to eat. I asked for help and Tyson (my waiter) kindly helped advise me make a decision. Didn’t take long, service was quick. Overall delighted with my Ramen, I went for the Steak Takati! I recommend if you like a spicy kick! Very pleased. Thank you!”

“Called in on speck for a breakfast and were met by two lovely hosts. Nothing was too much for them and we had a cracking breakfast - egg beans bacon black pudding haggis fried tomatoes and heaps of toast. Definitely recommend”

“Stopped in here a couple of times now, both times it was busy, but I was seated quickly. The food was tasty and the prices are reasonable. The service from the team both times was spot on. As a bonus the views from the windows are amazing.”

“Beautiful sitting. Delicious scones. Exceptional service. I went to enjoy tea and a scone. I asked for extra warm tea, which they kindly provided. They kindly replaced my half eaten scone after it fell, without asking or charge. I hope to visit again and fully recommend a visit to whoever is in the city.”

“A cosy place with a great atmosphere! We came in around 9am and there was still plenty of room left even though it was a Saturday. The shakshuka was delicious and prepared in a way I’ve never seen before. The scones were to die for and so was the iced dirty chai! There was also a shelf with cool books, games and food like cookies, chocolate or jars of honey! Overall an amazing place for a chill breakfast”

“I originally went to the store to have an item of jewellery cleaned. I was served very quickly and whilst in store I saw a watch I liked for my hubby to be. I returned with him next day to purchase. Staff are very friendly, knowledgeable and welcoming. Pauline was very helpful with both my purchase and service. She described the item perfectly, was able to answer all questions we had and made sure we were happy and the item fit perfectly before we left. I recommend this store and look forward to returning.”
