Cafe Gallo

edinburgh has no shortage of good coffee, but the stockbridge end of raeburn place has its own quiet pull, the kind of street where you actually slow down. cafe gallo sits at number 96, and if you're in that part of the city it's the kind of place that becomes a reliable part of your week rather than a one-off tick on a list. the regulars here are genuinely devoted, which tends to mean something more than a passing wave. specialty coffee in edinburgh has sharpened considerably over the last decade, and this spot holds its own in that company without making a performance of it. worth timing your visit for a mid-morning flat white when raeburn place is still finding its feet.
