Little Fitzroy

Petite Easter Road café with vegetarian menu, where they are serious about coffee.

The 2019/20 edition of The List's Eating & Drinking Guide is out now – only £5.95 (+p&p).

This wee place on Easter Road may lure you in with its steadily building reputation as a serious coffee destination, but there’s plenty else on offer too. Once inside, a fully veggie lunch and breakfast menu entices you to stay for more than just a caffeine injection. Maple syrup-soaked French toast with soy yoghurt and forest berries is so tangy and tasty you won’t even notice it’s vegan. For lunch, the falafels that top a hummus flatbread are moist and don’t crumble into nothing when you take a bite. But the true stars of this tiny joint are strong Fortitude coffees and aromatic loose-leaf teas; that said, freshly baked banana bread with warm custard and a zesty berry compote on the side could give both a decent run for their money.
