    I've been coming her quite frequently for coffee and to do work between classes (I'm a student at U of E) and I love it! The decorations are really fun and the coffee is excellent. The service is always very fast and courteous as well. The place has never been to crowded when I've gone (surprisingly) so it's been a great place to get stuff done.

    Update: I was really craving a bagel so I stopped here and ordered the House Bagel. It's your basic egg, bacon, cheese bagel but it really hit the spot. It was perfectly made with the egg just a tad runny in the center. Now I can attest to both the food and the coffee!

    As a student at the University of Edinburgh, I really appreciate Olly Bongo's. It's very convenient for those frequently in the area of campus, the portions are sizable, especially for the price, and the set up makes it a good place to meet people. It's also quite an interesting menu, some unusual combinations of things. I usually just use the university wi-fi, but I think they have their own.

    I think there is like a £5 credit card minimum.

    Had awesome breakfast here!  This cafe was selected on the morning of.  And we were glad we found this place :)

    We were the first customer so it was quiet.  The owner of the store was very nice.  It's a cute little local shop.  The food was cooked to order so they were piping hot when we received them.  The food was delicious!  I has the Turkish sausage with eggs and hubby had the full English.

    Definitely recommend.

    Popped into what used to be Blunt a couple of weeks ago for a cuppa and a bite to eat in the evening. Service was considerate & swift and pot of tea for two was a very good size.
    The potato wedges were well cooked and served with more than one dip so that was a pleasant touch. The tuna salad was well presented and filling so all in all a decent dining experience that didn't cost the earth.
