It is extremely difficult to come accross a nice non-chain cafe in a British city. With numerous Starbucks and Costas on every corner we have trained ourselves in finding nice places with independent vibe. This skill will be more and more important with winter approaching! Unfortunately most of these nice, cosy places are usually situated way off the center of the town (is it the rent and council taxes that drive them out?) and we usually hang out not far from our home which is in the very center of the town.
This very German Konditorei with real pretzels is situated up the hill from us in Edinburgh posh end - Morningside, which is a good 20 mins walk from where we live... UP the hill in heels but the cakes were woth it.
^This viennoise cake shot (and eaten) yesterday has a special dedication to our friend Philip in Paris (not in Vienna) who is celebrating his birthday today. Joueux anniversaire, Phil! Unfortunately all my greeting emails bounced back, my other mobile with Phil's number on it is down and cannot find the charger, post office is on strike again so I am using this blog to send him lots of love to get to him on time! Wszystkiego Najlepszego, Phil!
