If you are in Duddingston visit this adorable cafe. It is run by a community of lovely people and they serve solid tea, good cakes and scones. Enjoy your tea outside on a bench surrounded by the wonderful maintained garden. Loved it!

One of the most authentic and cosiest place I have found in Edinburgh. Great garden, perfect atmosphere. It's almost like you just went to your grandmo for a cup of tea with a piece lf tasty cake. That's the feeling you get, when you are there.

This place is a wee gem in a garden of tranquility. £3 for a slice of cake/gateaux plus £2 for a pot of tea. What's not to like.

A sweet little cafe on the globe section between Dr. Neil’s Garden and Jock Tamson’s Gairden. A nice selection of teas and coffees with some delicious cake. Their products are locally sourced and fairly traded where possible. So nice to drink tea in a bone china teacup. The vegan lemon cake was delicious. The cafe is open 1-4pm on Saturday.
