"We ate at the kitchen garden cafe this morning. Food took over minutes to come out. Staff were unhelpful and abrupt. The food came out in no discernible order. They left two people waiting for their food for minutes and then told them they had run out of what they'd ordered. One person's side order of black pudding came out minutes before his full english; we returned it and asked if a hot portion could come out when his breakfast did and by the time it came out they'd run out of black pudding. They were unapologetic when we complained. I didn't get my breakfast...after waiting so long everyone else had finished eating, I just cancelled it. Out of people, people ended up with refunds and no breakfast. Appalling. The only explanation we got was that the kitchen was small. I would argue that if you can't handle groups then don't book them in. I booked the table with the manager and told him that it was a special occasion, and he said there would be no problems. We also ordered in groups of or not as one big group. Even then when food came out that someone had ordered, part of the order would come out and it would be or more minutes before the other part of their order came out. The staff seemed to be allergic to the word sorry and didn't seem to care at all about customer service. I have been going there since it opened and I cannot believe how atrocious the service has gotten. Avoid."

"have recently been trying to explore Edinburgh a little more, and with the weather being as nice recently I could wander round Edinburgh without getting cold or rained on. During my wanders I discovered my new favourite coffee shop, Cairngorm Coffee Co. I love stumbling upon place like this, it's one of the reasons I love Edinburgh sp much. This coffee shop is on Fredrick Street, and other than the metal bike attached to the railing outside that says Cairngorm Coffee you almost wouldn't notice it was there. It is down some stairs and below ground level. It isn't huge, but it has a quite a few tables and seats, as well as seats on the street and also outside the door next to the stair. It also has two iPads built into one of its work benches which are free to use, which I think is a great touch!! Not to mention the free wifi if you needed it. It has a really relaxed vibe, and the music they play is so good, they played some really good stuff including the Kooks and James Bay, I loved it, I didn't need to stick my headphones in. In terms of food, it was super yummy! I had a grilled cheese sandwich which was incredible. I then had a salted caramel brownie which was also amazing, and the coffee was so good. They also had a water dispenser which had bits of water melon in it, so the water tasted a little of water melon and I really liked that. You could help yourself to as much or as little water as you wanted. This place has only been open a year, but I wish I hand discovered it much sooner, I just love it. I could spend all day in here easily, I highly recommend!!"
