St Patrick's Square Edinburgh EH8 9EZ United Kingdom |
There are a number of converted police boxes dotted around Edinburgh, transformed into tiny branches of the California Coffee Co. As well as on St Patrick's Square, you can refuel on the northeast corners of the Meadows and the Royal Infirmary. Pop in on your way to work or during the day - they're perfect for that caffeine fix on the move. Choose from an extensive range of exotic varieties or just opt for a standard latte, cappuccino, espresso or machiato. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Almost Chinese |
74-78 South Clerk Street Midlothian Edinburgh EH8 9PT United Kingdom +44 (0)131 668 1328 / +44 (0)131 668 2323 |
Located in the Newington area of Edinburgh, Dragon Way invites Chinese food lovers to enjoy Canton, Peking and Schezwan cuisine. Try out the delicious seafood dishes, and if the weird names on the menu card confuse you, simply ask the friendly wait staff for help. Ever heard of the Chinese people drinking beer or wine before or after meals? Well, that is one liberty Dragon Way takes. The restaurant's full fledged bar offers ample options for hard core drinkers. And that's definitely not Chinese! Review © 2007, Wcities |
