Blank Street Coffee

I wasn't looking for a carrot cake cookie or a strawberry custard matcha -- I wasn't even aware of their existence -- but that's the kind of thing you find at Blank Street Coffee and I did enjoy my wee treats. The coffee shop is very centrally located, has step-free access and a spacious accessible toilet, so I imagine it would come in very handy for a quick stop when you are out and about on Princes Street or a takeaway sweet treat and a cold drink when you are enjoying the sun in Princes Street Gardens. When I visited, I was looking for somewhere to take a break and have a savoury lunch, though, and unfortunately Blank Street Coffee did not hit the sweet spot. They offer a variety of hot and cold drinks, including dairy-free options, but the food is limited to cookies and pastries, only one of them vegan. It was very busy, making it both hard to navigate the narrow crowded space in my powerchair and to get assistance from the staff. In the end, I left still hungry and less relaxed than when I entered, but I was glad that I had had the chance to go to the bathroom and discover some new treats.
