Peter'S Yard

During a couple of days spent in Edinburgh this was the best coffee we found. I also enjoyed a pastry filled with raspberries and custard. The cafe is pleasant and airy with plenty of outside seating in a pedestrianised area.

A nice Swedish café with a selection of Swedish cakes and the selection of coffees you'd expect to find at a café. There's a small but not extensive selection of savouries too. You have to order at the counter so choosing can be a bit awkward if there are a few customers waiting. The decor is quite minimalist and the prices are slightly expensive. The glass exterior means it's very bright inside so it's a good place for reading books. All in all this is good choice if you'd like to try a selection of small cakes that are different from standard UK café fayre and don't mind spending a little more than average.

No drinks menu or prices up at all. No gluten-free options on food. Poorly maintained bathroom. Untidy and unkempt employee uniforms. Only saving grace was half-decent coffee. Would not recommend.

Great selection of food and beverage, and nice atmosphere, there is a lot of light thanks to all of the window. The staff wasn't particularly friendly and I didn't find it too easy to find a place to work with my laptop

PY is great for a quick meal and coffee. Great location. Only wish there was veggie smørrebrød. :)

Great food, drink (esp coffee) and service. Everything delicious and great setting, incl outside seating area.
Some items a bit expensive.

Lovely place. It might be a bit pricey but it is just located in one of the most expensive areas of Edinburgh. They have dairy-free alternatives so I was able to enjoy a lovely hot chocolate. It isn't the cosiest place but it looks beautiful. There is usually places to sit and is very close to the cycling.

If you like Scandinavian food, spiced baked pastries, open sandwiches, warming soups then Peter's Yard is a good place to try. However I'd add that you might need to have a bit of money ready as it is one of the more expensive places in the area. A pot of tea is £2.60 which is getting close to London prices, though this almost makes sense as it is part of the Quartermile development. Cost aside, Peter's Yard has excellent food and coffee and great service and will use your keep cup if you care about reducing waste.

Nice bistro with wide selection of pastry, sandwiches and other quick-lunch foods. The coffee is very good, and the food is fresh. No complaints about the content, but the staff looked confused about the orders (which is weird, since they give you numbers to avoid that).
