Urban Cafe

Date of visit: June 2018

Overall Rating

I have visited the cafe for the first time today and I was surprised at how accessible it appeared to me. There is an accessible toilet, it's easy to get to the cafe through the large door — straight from the street level. It's bright and spacious, so moving around with a wheelchair or a powerchair should not be a problem. There aren't any steps inside. Plus, it's actually a genuinely nice place with good coffee, sandwiches and pizza. What's not to like? :)

Disabled Access In and Around

To my eye, the cafe looked pretty accessible. Large door from the street level, no steps, all flat floor inside. Large tables, but plenty of space to move around. Accessible toilet with the red cord. There is no induction loop but there's one by the hotel reception next door (the cafe and the nearby Hilton hotel are connected via large, always-open door).

Parking & Transport

0

I walked to the venue so I am not sure. There doesn't appear to be any parking on the street, but I know there is parking available at the near-by Fountainbridge Park (where the cinema is).

Accessible Toilets

Easy to find and I think should be easy to manoeuvre around.

Staff

Staff were really helpful and keen to answer my questions about accessibility. The manager, Anna, is very keen to ensure that all guests get a pleasant experience.

Additional Information

I would go again! Fast, open wifi is a plus.
