A room that pulls you in
Bookshelves, a fireplace and window seats on Home Street, Tollcross. Open every day, 7:30am to 10pm.
Books N' Cup Cafe is at 23 Home Street in Tollcross, Edinburgh, between the Tollcross junction and the King's Theatre. Inside there are bookshelves, a fireplace and seats in the window, and one reviewer called it a perfect Edinburgh hideaway.
It opens at 7:30 in the morning and stays open until 10 at night, every day of the week. Late opening hours come up in 73 reviews: it is somewhere to read, talk or work long after most cafes have closed.
Friendly staff is the topic reviewers mention most, in 523 reviews. Then the cosiness (90 call it a cosy cafe, 67 a cosy place), the toasties (66), the Nutella hot chocolate (30), scones (16) and raclette (12).
“The atmosphere was fantastic… The interior was fantastic and homely.”
