Really good quality food and coffee. Staff are lovely. We had the pancakes- bacon and maple syrup. And morning rolls - 1 scrambled egg/ 1 bacon. Best fruit scone I’ve had in a long time and I’m from Ireland. 10/10

Honestly, since discovering this cafe 3 weeks ago I’ve been probably 3/4 times. It’s great food, the staff are brilliant and it’s just generally good atmosphere. Brought my kids for the first time today, and they were great with them too.

This area of the city has little in the way of shops or cafes so while working locally I popped in or a quick bite. Wow! I didn't expect this. The food is nothing short of incredible, fresh and tasty and the service fast and friendly. Honestly, I was taken by surprise. The best blt sandwich, made to order I have ever had and the latte just lovely. Really nice. I'll be back.

Came to buy some hiking equipment, decided to stop here for a coffee. Were positively surprised by the coziness of the place, friendly staff and the great food they serve at very reasonable prices. Scottish breakfast is highly recommend!

I had been working in the area for a few days, and Summit Cafe was recommended as a great spot for lunch. This is one of the best small cafes I've ever been to! The service is outstanding—so much so that I returned every lunchtime without fail! Lois, one of the manager, is an absolutely wonderful person who makes you feel special and always offers a warm and friendly welcome. Exceptional service and fantastic food! Love it! As a vegan, I was delighted that Lois understood my needs right from the start. A fantastic place for everyone, especially vegans and vegetarians. Thank you, Lois—I'll definitely be back again soon!
