Best Cafés in Stockbridge, Edinburgh

Stockbridge was made for lazy afternoons and long coffee dates with your partner or friends. This Edinburgh neighbourhood is known for three things: its second-hand shops, its Sunday market and the Water of Leith Walkway connecting the area with the lively Leith Shore and historic Dean Village. I couldn’t think of a better afternoon out hitting all three and finishing the day at one of the best cafes in Stockbridge. 

This guide also includes eateries that do takeaway in Stockbridge.
