La Barantine Victoria

“The staff were so friendly and the pastries were delicious.”

This was such a lovely little pastry and coffee shop. There were a couple of seats outside in the sunshine where you could sit and watch the world go by, as well as a few seats inside too. There was a great selection of cakes, pastries and macarons to choose from, along with hot drinks, and everything we had tasted absolutely delicious. We bought two pastries and took them to the park to enjoy in the sun, which was perfect. A really lovely little spot and definitely somewhere I’d highly recommend visiting if you’re nearby.

Actually, it's my first time at this bakery 'cause it's my birthday today! Gotta say, their cakes are absolutely amazing—no complaints at all. And the staff? Super friendly and warm. But here’s the real kicker: my visa card wasn’t working, and just as I was trying to figure things out, this sweet old lady behind me stepped in and paid for my cake as a gift. Honestly, that turned out to be the most perfect birthday present ever 🎁

I visited this café on my last day in Edinburgh just before closing time. Even though they were about to close, the two girls kindly made me a coffee when they realised I was a tourist. Thank you for your kindness and for making my day 🤍♥️

I stumbled upon this lovely bakery shop on the famous Victoria Street (Edinburgh’s Diagon Alley), and it was such a perfect find. I ordered their hot chocolate. So rich, velvety, and perfectly warming on a chilly autumn afternoon, along with a delicious vegetarian quiche that was fresh and full of flavor. Sitting by the window, watching tourists and locals wander along the colorful street felt like something straight out of a storybook. I’ll definitely be coming back next time I’m in the city!
