Best Bakery and Cake Shops in Gladsmuir

"Mimi’s is one of the most popular spots for a coffee and cake in Edinburgh, and being the Scottish Baker of the Year for 4 years running, it’s understandable. While their breakfast, brunch and lunch menu is hearty and delicious, it’s really the cakes put this warm and welcoming family-run bakery on the list. Find Mimi’s main cafe right by the river in the heart of Leith, or Mimi’s Little Bakehouse in two locations in the Old Town."

"This is the place for a serious sweet addict – be aware that you will find it difficult to choose which calorie bomb to go for though!. If that’s the case just opt for the afternoon tea, which the Mimi’s Shore location in Leith is brilliant for. Perfect for a treat with the girls or as part of a hen do."

"Walk along the Royal Mile and beeline it for Mimi’s Little Bakehouse. Here, start your day off right with what else, a lovely scone, or ten, since Mimi’s has some of the best scones in Edinburgh (not that I know much about scones as an American)."

"If you find yourself in the Fountainbridge area be sure to pop into this light and bright cafe to enjoy brunch or lunch!. Another bonus is they serve up delicious fluffy pancakes. Choose from classic American Style Pancakes, Vegan Blackcurrant Pancakes, or if you’re looking for a healthy boost they also serve Superfood pancakes (pictured below)!"

"A mixture of fresh onsite baking and locally sourced produce makes Loudons Cafe a great place to stop for breakfast. Comfy couches and a bright airy interior combine with outdoor seating for those rare sunny Edinburgh days. The menu caters for health conscious diners and hung over patrons seeking a fried treat."

"Loudons represents the perfect place to take your parents, with garden centre vibes (in the best way), it is the ideal backdrop for lying to your folks that the reason you’re tired is from an all nighter in the library, not because of the eight vodka cranberries you had at the club last night."

"Licks Cake Design is an award winning bake shop in Edinburgh. Their creative staff create cakes that are suitable for any kinds of events may it be a formal or novelty ones. They also occasionally offer price sales so make sure to always check their website."

"Vegans don’t have to miss out on dessert, especially in Edinburgh!. Considerit is a chocolate, doughnut and ice cream cafe that’s entirely vegan. They sell the most amazing and indulgent doughnuts, like this amazing chocolate hobnob creation, which is glazed with Biscoff spread, topped with crumbled oaty Hobnobs and finished with a chocolate drizzle."

"George Street fans will be delighted to see Le Monde added to the list of Edinburgh beer gardens. Now serving drinks at their terrace, don’t let the rain put you off – cosy blankets, waterproof ponchos and all your favourite Le Monde drinks await!. It is a little open to the elements so wear one more layer than you planned to and double up on socks."

"Autumn 2019 saw a make-over for Le Monde, one of George Street's original style bars. Expect luxe finishes and a grown-up colour scheme that shows off the building's beautiful bones; fun, fruit-led cocktails; and a European-inspired menu of sharing…"

"Located beneath the beautiful Le Monde Hotel, Shanghai promises one of Edinburgh's best clubbing experiences. Open on Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays, partygoers can expect sleek interiors and VIP service at this George Street spot."

"Loud and brash, with hip-hop and chatter filling the air, El Cartel is a fun taqueria, one that's exactly what the Edinburgh street-food scene needed. Lime-sucking locals and eager students pack in here for the hand-pressed tacos. The duck carnitas, with duck leg, pecan salsa, pineapple, and jalapeño, is a winner, as is the Baja cod, filled with ever-so-lightly battered fish."

"I’m not sure if El Cartel counts as particularly quirky, but it caught my eye and has some unusual bits and pieces on the menu if you fancy something Mexican with a twist. I’d also never ventured down Thistle Street in the New Town, so this excursion was a great excuse to go and explore. Anyway, my tacos had sweet potato, broccoli, almond sauce and sheep’s cheese."

"In an old railway shed near Holyrood Park, this gin and whisky distillery offers a peek behind the scenes with guided tours and tastings. Holyrood Distillery’s state-of-the-art visitor’s centre is kitted out like a science museum, with a dedicated nosing room, the tallest copper stills in Scotland and a lab-like gin experience room. Hit the outdoor courtyard bar where you can sample your favourite spirits in a heady cocktail mix."

"The first single malt whisky distillery in the city centre in almost a century, Holyrood Distilleryopened in 2019. Situated next to Holyrood Park, the 180-year-old railway goods building has been thoughtfully renovated as both a whisky and gin distillery. As such, they have a number of tours to choose from, covering all interests and tastes."
