The 2013 edition of The List's Eating & Drinking Guide is out now – only £5.95 (+p&p).
This review is taken from the current (2013) edition.
Sitting atop the Royal Mile, and home to the International Festival box office, it is not surprising Cafe Hub is popular with tourists. Recently it has also been trying to attract locals with a mix of takeaway deals and increased emphasis on their own ‘hub-made’ food. Alongside the fairly standard selection of baked potatoes and sandwiches are some more interesting specials such as a daily changing pie – pork, sweet potato and cheese is a nice mix between sweet and savoury. Slightly dry carrot cake and shortbread served straight from the fridge suggest desserts still need some attention. Nevertheless the large outdoor terrace and spacious, cheery and child-friendly interior make for a pleasant coffee spot for tourists and locals alike.

Shockingly hurried service. The waiter (possibly the manager?!) stood by our table shifting from foot to foot, sweating and looking at the other tables as we made our final choices and ordered. Staff succeeded in passing on their own anxiety during the busy lunch-time to us as customers. My companion made a query about the food he received and didn't receive a response until he had finished his meal.
One to avoid, sickly yellow colour decor and high anxiety atmosphere - food satisfactory.
