Coffee, retail shelves and food
The operator describes coffee guidance, beans, brewing equipment and local products, alongside pastries, cakes and sweet treats. Focaccia sandwiches arrive from the Leith branch, and a locally made vegan soup is also offered. That soup does not make the entire food menu vegan.
