The Starbucks on Princess Street is pretty good, it is very large.

I don't know about Eteaket but The Elephant House is really lovely and rustic, on George IV Bridge. There is also Costa scattered around!

Go to the coffee shop up the side street on the right hand side of Jenners - it's part of Jenners but easier to find this way...treat them to a hot chocolate with all the toppings, they're wonderful!

Hope it's still there, was 2 years ago we last had these. Very nice.:D

Hi,
Just wanted to say.. Eteaket looked amazingly cute. But had a 30 minute waiting time to get a cuppy tea and a cake! EEK! so trawled a few more places, and found the Gallery at the Mound. It was stunning.
I got my afternoon tea, - scones melted in the mouth, and there was a lovely lemon cake included which was AMMMMMMAZING!!
I would def recommend, and will go back again,
the view over the German markets/gardens was so pretty!
